Mariela Keating

== Background ==
Mariela was born in April 1970 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The exact date is not known, but when Niko and Sawyer are invited over for her birthday, Niko mentions it is April and she is an Aries ("Game Night"). Her father was a Mexican immigrant, who met her mother on a bus to somewhere in Vegas ("Normal People"). Mariela is a cynic for unknown reasons, but managed to meet and fall for Wendy Keating in the late 90s. The time spent hiding it has made her jaded ("Find a Rhythm"), but caring when need be. She's extremely protective of her wife and children, as proven by her threats to Sawyer Arlington throughout Season Three.
== Season Three ==
=== Normal People ===
Mariela is cooking dinner when Sawyer and Niko enter her and Wendy's home in Vegas. She rushes to hug Niko but is immediately wary of Sawyer because of Niko's romantic past. Gradually, she warms up to him, but continues to make jabs at his privileged upbringing until Wendy has to stop her. When she and Wendy are alone with him and Wendy tells him about Niko's past, she threatens him, saying that if he hurts her, she'll give him hell. 
=== Blessings ===
Mari is the person that opens the door when Sawyer goes to their home in Vegas to ask for their blessing. She is more welcoming to him than before, and sits down with him to talk until Wendy gets home. He produces the ring to her, and she is hesitant, making him swear multiple times that he'd never hurt her before finally giving him her blessing. 
=== Indecent Proposal ===
During the wedding, we see Mariela in the background, comforting her wife and smiling at Niko.
