Mariana Flores

**Mariana Flores** is a character in Beacon Hills. She has been dubbed a party girl by some of her classmates for her wild ways. In reality, she just likes to have a good time and what's the harm in that? Life is just one big party anyway.

## Personality

Mariana is a little bit of everything and you quickly find that out upon meeting her. A little jealous and vengeful, a little outgoing and adventurous. She's a beautiful mess, so to speak. Although Mari is typically friendly, this doesn't mean she can't be quite ruthless or sometimes vengeful when needed. Her bitchy side typically comes out when she feels threatened or attacked. She has never been one to back down from a fight and anyone who knows her is well aware that she can handle her own. She's also very ambitious, always set on getting what she wants. Mari loves to be the life of a party, mostly because she likes the attention. Who doesn't? She isn't easily intimidated or scared which can be good and bad since sometimes she should learn when to walk away. She often lands herself in trouble due to this along with her wild and flirtatious nature. The most important thing to know about Mariana is that she is fiercely loyal to those who she considers her family/friends and will protect them at any cost. Always and forever.

## Appearance

Mariana has long chocolatey brown hair that cascade down her back. It is naturally thick and wavy. Her eyes are a very deep green color. When her wolf abilities are active they are more of a golden color. Mariana has tanned skin, described often as a beautiful sun kissed color that pairs perfectly with her eyes.

## Relationships

**Cyrus Jackson:** He is someone who Mari considers a best friend. They were at one point dating but after realizing they could really handle each other and that their relationship was a bit toxic they decided to end things. They remained very close after the split and though some might think it's weird, it works for them. She'd do most anything for him and trusts him with her life. It's also no secret that these two occasionally hook up still but it's all strictly sexual without all the romantic strings attached.

**Johannes Thorpe:** She actually likes him a lot. They have just sorta clicked and became pretty good friends. They typically plan parties/events together but they often find themselves taking long walks or just sitting and talking (sometimes deeply) about life. He's someone she trusts to open up to for the most part and she likes that she doesn't really need to filter herself around him. Not that she does with most people but he doesn't usually take what she says the wrong way.

**Tyler Shaw:** They have a pretty casual friendship. You probably wouldn't catch these two going out of their way to hangout but they do get along for the most part. Mariana definitely thinks he needs to loosen up a little.

**Lowell Shaw:** Out of the Shaw brothers, Lowell is more her speed. He matches her party attitude and they both share a sense of loyalty to family and friends. She finds him to be a good time and when they do link up they can sometimes get into a little trouble. But what fun is life without that, right?

**Sasha Robinson:** They aren't super close yet but Mariana hopes they can grow closer. She knows that Sasha is just weary of girls due to her experience with them mostly faking to be her friend and so she's tried to make Sasha see that she isn't like that. She's also tried to convince Sasha to give Cyrus a chance, in which case she'd most definitely cut off her own hookups with him because she liked Sasha a lot.

**Juniper Beaumont:** The pair have always been friends despite her being Jade's sister because Mariana respects that she doesn't just follow in her sister's footsteps or hide in her shadows. Mariana likes Juniper a lot and the rebellious persona that is about to come out is sure to only make them closer. These two might also get into some trouble together but at the same time, Juniper seems to ground her. It's a somewhat balanced friendship, maybe?

**Jade Beaumont:** There is obvious tension between these two. TO BE CONTINUED...

**Addison Swan:** Mariana isn't really a fan of Addie. She knows that Jade and Addie are close and that alone rubs her the wrong way. She feels like the duo think they are better than anyone else and so the doesn't trust of get along with Addison...for now.
