Name :: Mariella Rosa Sanchez
Birthday :: July 4
Age :: 32
CALLSIGN :: Mariposa (butterfly)
HEIGHT :: 5'6
WEIGHT :: 112
EYE COLOR :: Hazel (Varies from brown to green depending on light and color)
HAIR COLOR :: Brown
Hometown :: Rio de Janiero
Occupation :: Police Officer
Notable Markings: mole on her left cheekbone, old gunshot scar on her right hip
Appearance: A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, hazel eyes, and full lips. She can vary her appearance widely--without any makeup, in ordinary clothing, she blends in completely, but if she dresses up and uses darker makeup, she appears to be nearly a different person.
Personality:
Mariella was very close with her parents; she's always been a rule follower and someone who seeks praise and approval. She got good grades growing up and tried to be a role model for her younger brother, Enrique. Because her parents were always working, she and her brother learned early on how to take care of themselves.
Mariella loves children, she dreams of someday being more settled down and having children of her own, but she feels that will never happen. She was born in a place where it is not safe to just be a child. She feels that children in Guatemala have their childhood taken from them by the conditions created by Lorenzo and others, and she wants to help give that back. She loves sneaking sweets and small gifts to children when she can, and making them laugh.
She's honestly a very soft, sweet person who gets easily attached to others. She has learned to be 'tougher' thanks to her time in the police and needing to survive among a very harsh crowd--only sheer determination and a need to avenge her father has made that possible. She still falls prey to her desire for approval, though, and will always take on more work or whatever her boss asks her to in order to prove she is good, useful, and worth having on the force.
Background:
- Daughter of a school teacher and a police officer
- BS in Social Work
- Was getting her MSW in the US on scholarship in TX
- In the middle of her first year, her father was killed on the job in an interaction with Lorenzo
- She had been planning to become a social worker back home and work with children/foster care until that point
- Dropped out of college, came home, immediately attended the police academy
- Took night classes after work when she was a 'rookie' to learn other useful skills (writing shorthand, additional psych classes)
- Jumped at the chance to go undercover with Lorenzo's org
- Met Dominic Garcia during a bust on a place she'd been working, wanted to be useful to him but not blow her cover, so it started small with her leaving notes, calling in tips, etc
- Eventually, she became his informant--letting him believe she was really with the criminal org and not telling the police she was doing something that could jeopardize her cover
- She genuinely trusts Dominic because she believes his intentions are good, although it took her a long time to do so
- tried to get out of the country with her brother like she was supposed to but was caught trying to leave near the border
Likes: plants, children, soft fabrics, tiger lilies, butterflies
Dislikes: swearing, arguments, failure
Skills:
- Emotional connection
- Psych background
- Basic firearms proficiency
- Addiction medicine/counseling knowledge
- Especially good with children (this was her area of study before she was forced to drop out)
- Speaks Portuguese, Spanish, and English
