Blood Moon is Blood Gatherer's daughter, and the mother of Hunahpu and Xbalanque. She's overwhelmingly good, pure, and resourceful. When she hears that the calabash tree bore fruit after One Death and Seven Death placed One Hunahpu's head in the tree, she's extremely curious and goes to investigate. There, One Hunahpu spits in her palm and she conceives the twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque. After the owl messengers help her escape her father's wrath and leave Xibalba, Blood Moon convinces Xmucane that she's truly pregnant with Xmucane's grandchildren. She's able to do this because of her honest and true intentions.
