Pacha Pope
It was originally thought that the demon in question was the priest-murdering demon warrior, since Cindy was whispering, “it’s a warrior” in the video released by the stolen Vatican. However, eagle-eyed reader “L. Williams” spotted the distinction from my original post and called it out in the combox, pointing to this:
“The spirit represented in this figure is called Soyoko Mana by the Hopi. This figure is distinguished from other ogre women because of her butterfly whorl hairstyle, which indicates she is not yet married. She carries a knife and crook and has a basket on her back. These items are used to catch her prey, children, and carry them away. Children are expected to provide food for her, and if they don’t, they are told she will eat them instead.” https://lammuseum.wfu.edu/2022/03/hopi-ogre-woman-kachina/
