Malinche

A Nahua woman from the southern region of the current state of Veracruz, Malinche or Doña Marina, as she was also known, played an outstanding role in the Spanish conquest of the Mexica empire, acting as interpreter, advisor and intermediary for Hernán Cortés. Despite her intelligence and cunning, she became a symbol of betrayal before the invaders, but also that of the mother of the miscegenation that gave rise to Mexican culture. He is one of the most vilified characters in the country's history, although we know little about his passions and interests, until now.
