Carnicera

# Backstory

*Born into a somewhat poor but big and loving family. She was mute since birth so had difficulties making friends, though her older brother was always there for her when she needed someone. She came to live with her brother in America, where he was eventually killed. Antonia was filled with more rage rather than sorrow, and has sworn to avenge her beloved brother. She goes by Carnicera now, and swears to protect her girlfriend on the way to eliminate the killer. Also can communicate with the dead.*

## Childhood

Antonia was born into a family of poor wealth, with three older brothers; two of them being twins. Her parents began growing a concern for her as she grew however, as she didn’t seem to be able to speak. Turns out that was the case, and since the family barely had any money, they were unable to pay for speech therapy. Antonia was a very calm child overall, but had slight temper problems. She was homeschooled by her relatives along with her brothers, and eventually learned some sign language and writing. Her oldest brother, Xavier would take time out of his day to help her out with the studying, following along to learn sign language as well so he could communicate better with his sister. Antonia grew very close to her brother, more so than she had with anyone. He would make up stories to tell her, of which she loved listening to. He brought her back to earth when she’d get upset, and seemed to always know exactly what to say to do so. Antonia was especially fond of the more scary stories he’d tell her. One of the stories was about a tall, bone-like creature with two horns, a wide sharp-toothed grin and a pair of wings covered in blood on it’s back. The people would call the demon *El* *Carnicero*, which was Spanish for *the butcher*. While Antonia absolutely loved hearing these stories, their parents did not find it appropriate for Xavier to tell her these stories.

## Teen Years

Antonia started working as an older teenager, running errands for her relatives and eventually got a job at the local café. She didn’t make a whole lot of money but the little she got was given to her family to support them. Antonia’s family was of course very thankful for it, although they would’ve liked it to go into a speech therapy fund. She didn’t feel the need to learn to speak though, seeing as there were more important things she was worrying about. Besides, as long as the people around her could read or knew sign language, that was just enough for her. Antonia also began practicing fencing along with her brother under guidance of their uncle.

Soon enough, on a whole different page, Antonia’s brother Xavier had saved up enough to move to the USA. This broke Antonia in a way, as she didn’t really feel as much comfort around anyone else there. She begged to get to come with and live with him, of which he only happily obliged to. Antonia worked even harder to raise enough money to come with, as well as studying the English language.

It ended up working out, and the two left Spain for America, keeping in contact with their family and relatives mostly through letters. Antonia’s brother soon got a job, and despite a bunch of ups and downs, they got through living in their low end apartment.

## Adult Years

Antonia wrote many letters back to their family in Spain and promised she and her brother would come to visit as soon as they’d get enough money for it. She joined a baseball team and got herself a job as a janitor for a while. Antonia would still keep herself fairly active and go outside as much as she could, taking walks, jogging and running. When she turned 23 she and her brother got matching tattoos (*simplistic bird*).

A few years later, Xavier never got back from work, which worried Antonia tremendously. Soon enough, she had two officers at her door, pronouncing her brother to have been killed at work. Antonia was uncertain how to react to all of this. She felt a great amount of sorrow, but even more so, she felt the anger that her brother had held back on her piercing through her. She went into a rage by it, her temper immediately dropping. Antonia felt the need to avenge her brother. She went under the name Carnicera, having lost her real self completely. She went digging for every piece of information she could find on whoever had killed her brother.

She felt heartbroken, that the one person who had been there for her all her life was now gone. A hand reached out though; a guild that told her they’d help out. Cera was extremely hesitant at first, not really wanting anyone’s help. However, she proved to fit right in, despite not really communicating or meeting her fellow members a lot. They respected her. At this point, Cera was experiencing odd things, such as hearing voices and seeing things. After looking further into it, she realizes she can communicate with ghosts and spirits, which frightens her at first.

She soon met Elizabeth, who was also a member of the guild and had gone through a similar type of loss. Cera was slightly doubtful towards wanting to make any form of connection to anyone, worried she’d lose them too and be hurt once again. Though, as Beth taught herself to understand Cera, she couldn’t help but feel happiness inside. Her love for Beth grew, and quite honestly, it scared her, but never before had she felt such a comfort.

Cera’s ultimate goal was still to eliminate whoever killed her brother, and she’s onto him.
