When you’re only eight years old and your entire life have been series of cross country trips meeting new people and things. Life, as she sees it, is normal. This is all she knows. Even thus, there are often times dangerous encounters with humanity and the supernatural alike. Living life on the edge you grow up not knowing what to expect. You become callous at an early age. Weeping and depression at the first signs of stress isn’t a luxury one can afford. Social definition of ‘Normalcy’ isn’t a part of your vocabulary. She knows she’s unlike any girl she has met in more ways than conceived at first glance. But in her eyes she’s just a normal eight-year-old girl.

Her mother’s that will to live and keep her alive is something she can always depend up. Her mother, Ana, has proven countless times there’s no greater love than a Mother for her child.

She dreams one day it will happen and that she and her mother will finally be happy and safe. That this life of constant danger and fright will someday be a faded memory.
