What should I name this weird little alien creature?

I think it’s a Mammillaria spinosissima ssp. pilcayensis

Mammillaria are generally native to Mexico, so maybe a name in Spanish, Nahuatl, or another language spoken in Mexico would be neat. Or maybe a leftist historical figure from Mexico, or a cactus-related Aztec deity. But don’t limit yourself to that, if you have any other ideas you should definitely share them!

Maybe a feminine name this time, since I named my last succulent Herbert

      Hell yeah, this is a top contender, thank you!

      Also, her Wikipedia article is fascinating but so short! It reads like someone compressed a book into two pages.

        I also like Maria. I had Maria by Rage Against The Machine in my head all day.
