La Tulivieja pencil art by Squishy Panda
She has many versions and also depending on if it’s the legend from Costa Rica or from Panama.
The one I know is that there was once a lady who loved to party hard. At some point she met a guy and had a kid. She didn’t want to stop partying so one day, on her way to a party, she left her baby by a river under a mango tree. A storm hit and the kid was swept away. She was so anguished by this that her restless soul forever cries by the river as she searches for her baby.
Somehow her restless soul grew some bat wings and her feet look like chicken feet and some versions say her face has holes in it.
If you find yourself by that river at night maybe just wear headphones as she doesn’t seem to do anything but cry (a river).
