Ana Liz Ruiz

=Personality=

=Background= Ana Liz was born and spent most of her early childhood in Tijuana, Mexico. She's from a medium sized close-knit family that happily fits into traditional gender roles. Despite the environmental circumstances she had quite a pleasant early childhood. They lived in a run down two bedroom one bath apartment. Rosa stayed at home with her four daughters while the men worked to support the family. Jesus and Alejandro both work for and have strong ties to a notorious drug cartel. Jesus built a reputation for his skills in commiting and getting away murders. While Alejandro focused on transportation on illegal substances.

Eventually the father son duo felt it would be best to send their more vulnerable members of the family to Texas while they tried to sever their ties with the cartel. When Ana Liz was seven Rosa and her four daughters relocated to San Juan, Texas where they struggled to survive. Their savings dwindled quickly after purchasing an old RV that they parked in a truck yard. The girls had a hard time adjusting to their new home. However Rosa made the best of it scrubbing the RV clean from floor to ceiling. Cooking the girls meals that gave them nostalgia of home.

The girls all attended school and started to learn English which they all became fluent in over time. Though they struggled to settle into their new environment. Sticking together as a family unit while they waited for the day Jesus and Alejandro could rejoin them. A few years later the men made their escape from the cartel. The family was reunited for a couple months but they lived in fear of retaliation that came far too soon.

Ana Liz and her sisters woke up to the sound of gunshots. Finding their parents both shot and lifeless. Jesús was allowed to live knowing he caused his son's death and now had the burden of raising four girls on his own. Ana Liz remembered everything from that night in great detail. While her sisters were able to mentally block the event. Due to this she became the black sheep in her family. She had very few friends throughout highschool while her sisters flourished. She failed to follow in her sister's footsteps. Choosing not to attend college or work towards a career. Ana Liz relocated to Los Santo’s when her sisters started to marry and have children of their own.
