## Biography

### Background

When she was a kid, she ran away from home. Her mother and her brother, Patrick, got out at night and searched for her by car, but got into an accident that killed their mother and left Patrick into coma, from which he woke up, but still needed years to recover from. Since this event, she was considered the black sheep of the family.

## Throughout the Series

### Season 4

Mencía shows up at Las Encinas and is immediately drawn to Rebeka because of her cool individualistic style. They become friends until Rebe realizes Mencía is daughter to the strict principal at the school and she immediately distances herself. Mencía tries to prove to Rebe and the others that she also disproves of her father and she tries to help the students with a plan to get him to change his mind about a placement exam for Samuel and Omar to stay in school.

Eventually, Mencía goes to drinks with Rebe and kisses her. Rebe seems confused but Mencía is persistent and messages her a lot until Rebe gives in and starts to date her. They seem in love and Mencía even meets Rebe's mom, who recognized her immediately as a prostitute at the nightclub she works at. Mencía was cut off from her father and met a man, Armando, who bought her drinks and gave her a hotel room. Mencía slept with him and he left her money, which led her to sleep with him again many times so she could earn cash. Armando even referred one of his friends to her so she could expand her clientele.

Mencía's father found the cash and demanded to know where she got it from. Frustrated, Mencía didn't tell her father and continued to sleep with men for money. Eventually, Rebe found out and it almost cost them their relationship but they stayed together.

### Season 5

Trying to move on from New Years Eve, Mencia tries to stay in Bejiman's graces. She breaks up with Rebekah and decides to keep a low profile for the rest of the school year as there was no major plotline shown this season.

### Season 6

Forced to repeat the year after leaving during the Spring to handle her father's legal issues after killing Samuel, Mencia comes back as a new woman who is trying to forge her path as a helper when she encounters new student, Sara, who is trapped in a abusive relationship with her older boyfriend, Raúl. Mencia becomes a friend of the abused women, but it does more harm than good as Sara's relationship becomes more dangerous. She and Sara develop feelings for each other as the season progresses, but soon finds out that Sara isn't a lesbian, and was confusing Mencia's feelings for help as love. Although Mencia is upset, she decides that Sara and her should be friends. In the end of the season, Mencia finds herself in the middle of a crime as she was unknowingly falsely accused of Ivan's hit and run and asks Ari for help to cover it up by lighting the car on fire to get rid of the evidence. Ari warns Mencia to not say anything to Patrick as it was his car that caused the accident, and the fact that Mencia was driving drunk without a license. Mencia was last seen leaving Madrid with her family.

## Physical Appearance

Mencía is a beautiful girl with long, brown hair and bangs. Her style and occasional makeup are rather hipster, she likes to stand out and differ herself from her classy sister, Ari. She is often seen wearing Dr. Martens' shoes.

## Personality

Quite the opposite of her older sister, Ari. If she is the absolute order, Mencía is chaotic, belligerent, self-destructive, reckless and is at odds with the rest of her family. But this is within the walls of her home, because outside of the house she has a sweetness and a light that is saved to give it to the people that she considers most special.

## Relationships

### Rebeka Parrilla

They start to date in the fourth season. Mencía gets attracted to Rebeka in the first episode of the fourth season and kisses her. While she was dating Rebeka, she gets herself in the messy world of drugs, money and prostitution through her abuser Armando which Rebeka helps her get out of. Mencía also butts heads with Rebe's mom, who sees her with Armando and blackmails her to stop dating her daughter but she still continues to date her and later she tells Rebeka about Sandra's drug-dealing business which Rebe thought she stopped doing which causes her to leave her house and go live with Mencía.

In the last episode of the fourth season, on Phillipe's New Years Eve party, Rebeka sees Armando and Mencía arguing, punches Armando and rescues Mencía after which they kiss.
