## Events of Zorro Island

#### Slayyyyyyyed!

Dama Mama was flagged as a suspect when her fan was found at the salon, leading her to say that she'd asked Diego for a makeover a while earlier, and forgotten her fan there when she left. She was shocked to find out that Diego had died, but failed to comprehend the fact that *Amor* would be postponed until the killer was found, going into a blind rage about it.

Mid-investigation, Dama Mama had to be detained when she and Icónico (the latter reluctantly) started a riot in order to get the festival back in action, leading Axelle to force them to leave the festival square. Dama Mama was formally spoken to again, however, when Javier and the player found a picture of her dressed in a trash bag on Diego's Spinstagraph, leading Dama Mama to confess that when she had asked Diego for a makeover, he had given her a trash bag and told her to wear it, meaning that he was being transphobic towards her, and causing Dama Mama to punch him in the stomach, explaining the bruise that Rosa noticed during the autopsy. Dama Mama then said that she was defending herself and walked off.

Dama Mama was found to be innocent when Valentino Corazón was arrested for the murder, but supported a distraught Icónico in the trial.

## Murder Details

Dama Mama was found stabbed with fabric scissors in her dressing area, as Rosa said that due to the depth of the wound in her abdomen, she would've died quickly but painfully. She went on to say that the murder weapon was, obviously, the fabric scissors found in her abdomen, but she had examined an odd substance on them and figured out that it was a mix of guacamole, cheese and salsa, commonly found in tacitos, which were sold at the stand outside the centre. Since Dama Mama didn't have traces of tacitos in her stomach, this meant the killer ate tacitos.

Later on, the case in which the fabric scissors came from was found in the nightclub, as Ellis, Ignacio and the player sent the box to Jae-hyun, who seemed to find something quite interesting, as he informed the detectives that he had found two strands of fabrics, which had momentarily stumped him until he had seen Javier walking around in a "rather dashing" suit. He then said that, upon inspection, the two fabrics came from lapels, commonly found on suit jackets or blazers, meaning the killer had to be wearing one of some kind.

## Relationship With Suspects

Dama Mama was being guarded by Kenny Rogers, who had promised to prevent any transphobic attacks towards her, as Dama Mama later discovered that Kenny had a past of homophobia which he promised he had recovered from. Dama was also close with businesswoman Grace Lowe, who said that if Dama did well on the catwalk, she would be able to represent Lowe Industries in an advertising campaign, which led to Dama attempting to back out due to Eli Lowe's previous unethical relations. Dama didn't approve of Howard Emery and his shady tactics, as she had shunned him earlier in the night when he attempted to get an autograph for his wife, angering him significantly. Dama was also employed as a model by Reese Ford, who turned out to be the victim's sister, as Reese admitted she was mildly ashamed of how Dama Mama had ended up in life. Dama was also in a romantic relationship with Harlow Jacques, the event planner, as the pair argued over whether they should out their relationship or not at the after-party, as Dama dumped Harlow before the catwalk began.

## Killer And Motives

In the end, the killer turned out to be Howard.

Upon being apprehended, Howard admitted to killing Dama Mama because he felt it unnatural for *them* to be walking the runway, especially since they were a drag queen. Howard then said that he was all for being accepting and recognising LGBTQ+ people, but Dama Mama had been very flirtatious with him for no reason, and it angered him because he wanted to remain loyal to Fallon. Upon Dama Mama locking her dressing room door to seduce Howard, he took a pair of fabric scissors and stabbed her with them, killing him in self-defence. However, upon analysis from Bonita, it appeared that Howard had locked the door with scissors already in hand, as Judge Vargas realised that Howard had intentionally murdered Dama Mama and wiped the security, sentencing him to 30 years in prison.
