No. Although she was of Nahuatl (e.g. Aztec) ancestry, she had been raised as a member of the Mayan society. She had been ceded as tribute to the local Mayan warlord after a war between the Aztecs and the Tabscoob tribe, located in the Gulf of Mexico.
She became instrumental in the conquest of Mexico, after the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes found out she could speak both Mayan and Nahuatl, using her help on both intelligence and diplomatic tasks.
Some sources define her as a traitor against the Aztecs, but the fact is, she was SOLD as a slave when she was still a child. Her allegiance to the Aztecs would be dim at best.

i think he wasn't a traitor.
Hernán Cortés did not abandon La Malinche in the conventional sense; rather, their relationship ended when he returned to Spain and married a Spanish noblewoman, Juana de Zúñiga. Their son, Martín, born to La Malinche, was not killed by Cortés; in fact, Cortés recognized him and later provided for his upbringing. The narrative surrounding their relationship is often complex, reflecting the tumultuous historical context of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. La Malinche remains a controversial figure, seen by some as a traitor and by others as a victim of her circumstances.

La Casa Roja or La Casa Colorada (Spanish for the Red House) is the name of La Malinche's house.
There is no historical evidence to suggest that Hernan Cortes killed La Malinche (Malintzin). She served as his interpreter and advisor during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. After the conquest, La Malinche's role and legacy were a subject of controversy and debate.

The word "Malinche" is often associated with betrayal due to the historical figure La Malinche, an Indigenous woman who served as a translator and advisor to Hernán Cortés during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. She is perceived by some as having betrayed her own people by aiding the Spanish invaders. Over time, her name has become synonymous with treachery and disloyalty, especially in the context of colonialism and the impact of European conquest on Indigenous cultures. This negative connotation has persisted in Mexican culture and discourse.

He was using a Aztec woman named Malinche. Then Malinche led Cortes and his men to the Aztec City, Tenochtitlan. Cortes was determined to break the power of the Aztecs and took Moctezuma hostage. The Aztecs then called Malinche a traitor. Which then they battled, the Spanish had an advantage in battle because they had better weapons and horses. The Spanish had wiped out millions of Aztecs,which led to the end of the Aztecs.
The name of the little native girl who helped Hernán Cortés was Malinche, also known as Doña Marina or La Malinche. She served as an interpreter and advisor to Cortés, aiding in communication with native tribes during the Spanish conquest of Mexico.
