She cooks. She weaves. She minds her brother’s children. She holds the household together. She studies magic, yes, and she’s good enough that her teachers all hope she’ll become a priestess, but she really just wants a husband and a family of her own. Simple things. That’s all she needs.
Becoming the Guardian of the Duality, the direct link between Ometeotl and the Fifth World, is...an adjustment.
A nightmare at first, but then she realizes one simple fact. As a simple housewife, even as a concubine, she might have had happiness. But as the Guardian, she has power. Power enough to ensure her well-being and that of her family. Power enough to save the Fifth World. All she has to do is figure out how to use it.
In the meantime, she cooks. She weaves. She minds her brother’s children. She learns how to make a life together with her husband; even though he’s a stubborn idiot, he’s her stubborn idiot. And she’s happy.
