personality
Vain; Rey cares so much for her appearance. No one but her family has ever seen her without makeup on, and even THEY haven't seen that since she turned 14. She likes to be told how pretty she is, since that's all she heard growing up. She was the loveliest little girl, with an angel's voice.
Bossy; She doesn't take it well when people don't listen to her. As the oldest daughter, she often bossed her siblings around. She thinks that she should run the show the way that she likes it. Her father probably shouldn't have stressed the fact that her name means "the Queen."
Social; Despite her sometimes rude behavior, Rey loves being around people. Talking, laughing, being admired. She's always been part of the popular crowd. She can be very sweet, provided you're the right person.
Bitchy; She's not afraid to say what she's thinking and honestly, that's a problem. She quickly offends people, much to her delight and she can easily evade those that she doesn't want to be around.
Needy; Rey needs constant assurance of her awesomeness. Compliments, adoration, she loves suck ups. She can come across as whiny. Really, all she wants is attention and love.
Magnetic; She's intimidating, but people are drawn to her. Her beauty and her voice make a powerful combination. She can lure in who she wants, and avoid who she doesn't.
past
Ernesto Otero met Clory Escoria when he was fifteen years old. Clory’s parents didn’t have the money to support her, so they tried to put her in a convent, so she would be safe and well. Ernesto quickly fell in love with the girl and begged her parents not to send her away. They were married two years later, in a tiny Catholic church, just outside of Santa Rosalia, Mexico.
Ernesto worked hard in the factories in the city, just to get by. Before the year was up, the pair had a little boy, who they named Acilino. Ernesto worked himself up at his job and before long, they had another son, Toro. A year passed and the couple was blessed with twins, a boy and a girl. The girl was first and she was her father’s princess. She was named Lareina. Her brother came a painful thirty minutes after her. They weren’t certain he would make it, but he pulled through and they named him Mariano for his strength. Only a year later, Ines was born. Three more children and another pair of twins made them a family of twelve.
One might think it a burden, but Clory and Ernesto were the proudest parents in Santa Rosalia. Acilino excelled in his academics. Toro was the best football player on his team. Lareina and Mariano’s singing voices could leave even the strongest of men in tears. Ines had a tender heart, and cared for all the children. Mora and Lola painted spectacular pieces that both the locals and tourists loved. Charro had a gift with animals and he tamed horses and stray dogs in the area. Naolin and Nita were the babies of the family and easily the funniest.
When Lareina and Mariano were twelve, their parents told the family that they were moving to America. Excitedly, everyone packed up their things and they moved to the busy New York suburbs.
present
Ernesto is now managing a factory in the city and Clory is finally free to start working. Some of the family liked the bustling of the city life. Others missed their lives back in Mexico. As soon as he turned 18, Toro left and went back, presumably to Santa Rosalia. The family hasn’t heard from him since he left. Acilino is studying at Yale and the other siblings are doing well in various public schools in the area.
Rey positively adores New York. She likes the lights and the sound and the change in climate. As much as she enjoyed the heat of Mexico, it could get to be too much. And she was free to NOT swim. No one had to look at her like she was a pariah anymore. She is a people person and will be out making friends (and enemies) ASAP.
