Meztli, representing the moon and the night goddess in Aztec religion, is an intriguing mythological character. It is also referred to as the goddess of the one who could not sacrifice itself to become the sun and became the moon instead, and its face was blackened by a rabbit. Also, Metztli was afraid of the sun and its fire. That's why it chose to be the moon.
