‣ Miami (By everyone else)

◦ AGE ◦
23

Heterosexual

◦ PERSONALITY ◦
Elia seems cute and approachable which has always given her the advantage to manipulate a person. She would prefer nothing more but to keep to herself, instead of talking to others and being open with them. She has a habit of using her looks and persuasion to get out of trouble most of the time. Much like Sergio, she takes calculated and careful steps before doing anything crazy. But if you push her enough, she is capable of making a rash decision. She cares deeply for her brothers and would do anything to protect them. Though Andres has revealed many times that Elia is known to be rebellious against him, it was always a contest of which will come out on top. She likes to be challenging and difficult.

‣ Chess. Elia likes to challenge Sergio to a chess match, it's just her way of bonding with him by playing this game. Also, it's probably the only time that she would deal with losing.

‣Animals

‣ Drawing

‣ Swimming

◦ FLAWS(s) ◦
‣ Hot-Headed. Elia is a hot-headed person something that she got from her father, at a young age she simply mimicked his behavior and soon enough grew up with his short temper. What really gets her upset is when people are constantly pushing her, that's when she gets upset.

‣Challenging. Elia is known for making some choices based on how she feels or if she feels like challenging Andres most of the time. Though she knows how to do things properly and carefully when it comes to him.

‣Drinking. Due to the lack of authority in Elia's early life, she's been drinking since she was 12 but it was never really an addiction. She doesn't drink all the time but if she does, she tends to go all the way instead of taking it slow as she should do.

◦ BACKGROUND ◦
Elia is the daughter of a veteran drunk that gave up on life when her mother left them. What truly happened was, that her mother got pregnant and left, only to return with Elia and leave her there to deal with a violent drunk. She learned a lot from the man that suffered from PTSD and would make him relive his days in the military or his black ops missions up to the point that Elia felt like she was a trained soldier. Later as growing up she ran into Andres, around the age of fourteen, and revealed that they were siblings, from there he took her from the home, and raised her instead. Of course, that included getting involved in robberies and such. A little after she met her other brother, Sergio who revealed the heist plan. Years of working together to figure this out, and boom there they were. Elia has a long criminal record of assault and battery, accessory to robbery with Andres, and more.

◦ LOVE INTEREST ◦ (Let me know whether or not they're together)
Rio (Aníbal Cortés) The two met when they were stuck learning about how this heist would work, let's just say the two hit it off and immediately started to hook up. Even though Sergio specifically said 'no relationships between others' she never bothered to listen. The two continued their relationship the entire time with their ups and downs. During the heist, it was learned that Miami was pregnant, and things had suddenly changed.
