Glória Ribeiro

**Glória** is a hopeful candidate of the 105th Process. Her birthday is 4 days before the Process date.

## Personality

Gloria likes to drink water to keep calm during stress. She is a firm believer of the Process and is excited for her chance to compete, although this faith is questioned due to her loyalty to Fernando. Glória is also an really selfish person, as we can see everytime Fernando was with Joana she was trying to make him decide between them.

Gloria is a complex character, capable of both extreme kindness (taking care of Fernando and the Shell's residents) and extreme violence (invading the Shell and later burning it down).

## Background

Gloria is a lifelong friend and neighbor to Fernando Carvalho, even being present when Fernando's fall off of a wall caused him to become paralyzed below the waist. Fernando and Gloria often communicate by radios that Fernando has made.

Gloria was extremely upset about Fernando’s death and can be seen crying heaps as during a flashback of a funeral with Michele.

## Season Two

### "Chapter 02: Toaster"

Glória and her friend, Ariel, went to Fernando to ask him to coach the for their Process. He initially declined, but ultimately agreed to coach them. He started by simulating the interview. He taunted her in the way the Process agents would, but ultimately passed her to the next round. He then set up the cube puzzle. When Ariel sabotaged Glória, he said she was eliminated. When Glória confronted him about that, believing he did it to convince her not to enter the Process, but he assured her that that's how the Process really worked.

### "Chapter 03: Static"

When the time came, Glória updated her registration for the Process. Fernando then tried to talk Glória out of entering the Process, knowing that the Cause was planning to bomb it, but she refused, saying she'd rather die than quit.

When Glória found out that Fernando was helping Joana, she was upset, believing that Fernando was with the Cause. He told her he wasn't, but he had to help Joana. Even so, she broke the radio they used to communicate and left.

### "Chapter 06: Bottles"

When Marcela announced that anyone who turned in someone who was working with the Cause would be rewarded in their Process, she thought of Fernando, but didn't turn him in. Glória and Ariel continued to practice for their Process. Fernando was later arrested as Glória approached. He believed she'd turned him in, though she denied it.

### "Chapter 09: Necklace"

The day before the Process started, Glória started to prepare herself. She went to the Process building to take medicine to Fernando whom she said was her cousin. She convinced the guard to let her see Fernando, but Fernando refused to see her, believing she'd betrayed him. She then begged for him to be released. It worked, but Fernando picked a fight in order to stay in, because their plan required him to be in the cell.

### "Chapter 10: Blood"

The next day, Glória and the others went to the Process building only to find it locked up. She and the other candidates were upset and used brute force to open the door and enter the building. The candidates then all sat down and waited, saying they wouldn't leave until the Process was started. Finally, Michele released the Process data and the Process was able to begin.

 Season Three

### "Chapter 01: Sand"

After failing her Process, Glória ended up in the Shell, which Michele and Fernando had founded with the technology the Offshore provided. Things were going well there until a storm destroyed their water source. When resources became scarce, Glória suggested that Michele start a process to decide who would stay and who would have to leave. Michele refused at first, but eventually announced the start of a Selection to reduce the population temporarily as they got back on their feet. The first test was to remove their implants, which she did.

### "Chapter 02: Scalpel"

Glória passed her next test, which involved having to cooperate with a team.

### "Chapter 03: Medicine"

Another test involved Glória, on a team with Joana and Artur, going against Rafael, Marco, and Natália. Each team had to create an elimination criterion for the other team. Glória, Joana, and Artur made their criterion being a murderer, targeting Marco for elimination while the other team chose being the youngest, targeting Artur. However, Michele then announced their criteria would instead be applied to their own teams, eliminating Joana and Natália instead. Glória was glad to learn that Marco had passed along with herself.

### "Chapter 04: Duck"

With the population at 100, Michele still needed to eliminate half. The final test for each person was a head-to-head. Glória and Xavier were the final two people to be tested. Each of them had to create a test for themselves and Michele said she'd choose the fairer test and it would be used to eliminate one of them. Glória suggested a test of knowledge of the Shell's inner workings while Xavier suggested using two puzzles Fernando had made, and Michele chose to use the puzzles. When they finished at virtually the same time, Michele declared Xavier the winner, angering Glória.

Once she was back in the Inland, Glória met with Joana and Natália, where she learned that the Offshore offered their help after the storm, but Michele refused it. Glória was angry and met with Marcela and André to see if the offer was still good. They said it is, so Glória decided to invade the Shell. Marcela was glad, saying they could turn the Shell into a place that respects the Process. Glória then went to the eliminated Shell candidates and told them what Michele did, rallying them to fight back.

### "Chapter 05: Lever"

Glória tried to recruit Marco for her coup, but he refused. So she led the crowd toward the Shell alone. Joana and Natália tried to stop them, distrusting the Offshore's involvement, but the crowd marched on. When they arrived, they started ramming the door, trying to force their way in. Michele decided to activate the security system, so Glória warned everyone else to get back. Marco then arrived and marched forward despite the security system. It shocked him and threw him backward. But then the security system was disabled. The crowd entered the Shell as Michele and Rafael fled out the back. Glória and Marco announced the Offshore's imminent arrival and help.

### "Chapter 06: Trapdoor"

Glória was upset with how many people were still loyal to Michele after their takeover.

### "Chapter 07: Gardrone"

Details of Gloria's time in the Process are revealed. Marcela tricked her into leaving by claiming she could save Fernando from dying if she did so.

Glória led the imprisoned Michele out in front of the crowd and said they needed to decide what to do with Michele before the Offshore arrived. After an accounting of her crimes, Glória declared Michele guilty with no objections and decided her punishment would be to be sent to the Offshore where she'd have her memory erased.

### "Chapter 08: Wave"

Marcela and her team arrived at the Shell and Glória welcomed them. Rafael and Joana then turned themselves in to Marco and Glória and presented them with proof that the Offshore had sabotaged the Shell, knowing the news had to go through one of them or the crowd wouldn't believe it. Marco took the proof and told Glória he'd destroyed it, but secretly returned it to Joana. The recording was later played for everyone and in the ensuing fight, Marcela was captured. Glória then joined Michele, Joana, Natália, Xavier, Marco, Rafael, and Elisa to make a plan to destroy the Offshore forever.

## Season Four

### "Chapter 01: Moon"

Glória stayed behind while five members of their group went to the Offshore for a diplomatic visit. Michele remained wary of Glória, especially after Xavier reported that she may have sabotaged their chance to get the part the other group needed to the Offshore to destroy it.

### "Chapter 02: Shock"

Michele called both Glória and Xavier to her and asked them both to explain what had happened in the Inland. When Glória was able to explain herself but not Xavier, Michele excused Glória, leading Glória to believe Xavier had left the Shell. She later saw Michele leave the Shell with the turbine. Then she went to Marcela, asking what she'd get if she helped Marcela. Marcela said she could give Glória one more test, meaning her Process wasn't totally over.

### "Chapter 03: Fire"

Gloria remembers her and Marco together. Glória took Mauricio to visit Marcela as a gesture of good faith. After the visit, Marcela agreed to give Glória two spots in the Offshore, one for her and one for Marco, though she wished Glória would choose someone more worthy. Glória told Marcela about the pulse. She later told André about Michele infiltrating the Process building.

While Michele was gone, Glória freed Marcela and the other guards. On their way out, Marcela told Glória her final test was to destroy the Shell, which she did, setting it on fire after confessing that the second spot wasn't for Marco, but for her child. She went around telling everyone about the fire so they could get it. Then they all watched as the Shell burned. After they arrived at the Process building, Marcela told Glória that she could go to the Offshore after she gave birth and her child could join her after passing the Process, going back on her deal.

### "Chapter 04: Submarine"

Glória was reunited with Ariel in the Process building. She told Ariel she passed the Process and confessed to everything else that had happened.

### "Chapter 05: Painting"

After the others set off the pulse, Glória told Ariel that the Offshore had been destroyed.

### "Chapter 06: Buttons"

Glória watched as Marcela was arrested upon arrival at the Process building. She asked about Marco, but Marcela told her Marco wasn't coming.

After learned about the radiation leak in the Offshore, she realized she was on the wrong side and always had been. Secretly, she helped Xavier by lowering the electrical pulse that was hooked up to Elisa, Natália, Joana, and Rafael to kill them at the hands of the final four candidates looking to pass their Process, including Xavier. After they survived, Glória came in to check on them.

### "Chapter 07: Sun"

As the factions started to prepare for battle, Glória ended up at the church with Antônio. After Joana, Rafael, Marcela, Verônica, Xavier, and André competed for control over their new society, which was cut short when one of André's men fired on the crowd as he was about to lose, causing chaos.

Antônio tried to calm people and said they must bow to the worthy, the displaced Offshore residents. Glória then spoke to the crowd, asking if they believed the world they lived in was fair. She talked about her experience with the Process and discovering that it was all a lie. The crowd turned on her, so she fled. The next morning, everyone gathered peacefully at the Process building to star their new society.
