Graciela Aguirre

Graciela Aguirre was a second cousin of Molly Hernandez. She welcomed Molly into her house when her adoptive parents Dale and Stacey Yorkes attempted to keep her away from Los Angeles, and gave her an envelope left to Hernandez by her birth parents, Gene and Alice Hernandez. Aguirre was trusted with the VHS tape retrieved by Molly thanks to the envelope, which contained a video message warning against PRIDE's activities. However, she destroyed it when visited by PRIDE. As a result, Aguirre was killed by Tina Minoru so she would not stand in PRIDE's path.
==Biography==
===Mysterious Letter===
Shortly before their death, Gene and Alice Hernandez gave Aguirre a letter meant for their daughter Molly. Aguirre was told to keep the letter in case Molly would come one day and reclaim it. As she deeply respected them, Aguirre preciously kept the letter in her home.
===Welcoming Molly Hernandez===
Aguirre was contacted by Dale and Stacey Yorkes, who wanted to send Molly Hernandez away from Los Angeles for her own protection. Aguirre agreed to welcome Hernandez into her house. When Hernandez and the Yorkeses arrived, Aguirre remained silent as they argued over the Yorkeses' decision to leave Hernandez in Montebello. As the Yorkeses left, Aguirre told Hernandez to come with her to enjoy a meal.
As Hernandez had calmed down, Aguirre gave her her parents' letter, which only had a key and a single note telling Hernandez to find her elephant plush. As they did not understand what that meant, Aguirre told Hernandez that they would figure it out on the next day. She helped Hernandez to prepare her bed while Hernandez told her about the time she had lost Elian. When asked whether there was a train station nearby, Aguirre answered that there was and that she would take Hernandez there on the next day.
However, on the morning, Aguirre realized that Hernandez had left the house through the window. Aguirre chose not to warn the Yorkeses, who called her in the evening to have some news of Hernandez. Aguirre told the Yorkeses that Hernandez was gone and that she had not informed them because she did not trust them, just like she though Gene and Alice Hernandez did not trust them either since they had never mentioned the letter. Aguirre then abruptly ended the call, ordering the Yorkeses to leave Hernandez alone.
===Death===
Aguirre was approached by the news outside of her home. They asked for a comment on Molly Hernandez's abduction, but Aguirre said she was not abducted, but framed by PRIDE. Aguirre explained how bad PRIDE was. Later, Dale and Stacey Yorkes arrived asking for the evidence against PRIDE. Aguirre "happily" gave them it, but instead threw the file into the air and shot it with a shotgun. She then asked Dale if he wanted to be shot too. He took a serum and tried to stab her, but Aguirre shot again. As she reloaded, Tina Minoru arrived and told the Staff of One to choke her. Aguirre promptly choked to death.
