Mirabella has brown hair that is very frizzy and curly due to her mother's Puerto Rican heritage she rarely ever straightens, but rather embraces. She likes to either wear her hair out or tie it in a simple ponytail which is always classy and chic. She also added light blonde/ brown high lights which she actually likes a lot. She likes wearing simple clothing, nothing too fancy or extravagant because she's used to that kind if lifestyle. She is not very tall because she gets that from her mom since her dad is a bit over 6' 0 feet. Based on her heights and looks a lot of people mistake her or either a freshman or sophomore in high school much to her dismay. Mirabella’s skin tone is very light and sometimes she can be mistaken for a Caucasian person. Over the years her skin has actually lightened because it had been darker when she was younger and plus her makeup makes it lighter as well.

Mirabella had never been one of those popular girls in high school. She’s been more the nerdy type and somehow that’s the only thing that’s been actually satisfactory for her. She’s always been the one to hide behind corners and fit into the crowd rather than stand out. However in her own home and community she’s always find some way to shine. She also believes everything rather happens for a reason and doesn’t believe in luck or proximity. She’s the girl whose obedient to her parents’ every wish and never caused trouble. She was teased for being a goody two shoes but she didn’t mind it. What kept her going was the fact that after high school there was a high probability that she would never see any of her classmates ever again.

Vanessa Romero was a young college student in Puerto Rico when she met Tomás Iglesias, who happened to be traveling abroad in Puerto Rico, after a year of dating each other, Tomás brought Vanessa to the United States. Tomás and Vanessa moved into a small apartment that was too small for their liking however they couldn't complain. Tomás worked two jobs while Vanessa stayed at home. A few months later, Tomás won the lottery for a few million dollars. However he did not spend all the money like most lottery winners did. He even received random calls from people saying they were long lost family members. Eventually he got sick of all the calks so he purchased a one family home for him and his girlfriend, and put the rest in a bank account.

Around three years later in early 1994, Vanessa found out she had been pregnant with their child. As soon as she told Tomás this, he proposed and they were quickly married in a small ceremony that consisted of Tomas’s parents and aunts and uncles and at least two family members of Vanessa's who were living in the United States at the time. Vanessa changed her surnamed to Romero-Iglesias. Soon in the spring of 1994, their daughter, Mirabella on November 4, 1994. The first few years had been bliss but soon marital problems had begun. Vanessa and Tomás kept arguing and Tomás threatened to leave. Mirabella feared her parents no longer loved each other. Being a very inquisitive young girl at the time, she thought about how this would tear her family apart. Her parents saw how this was affecting Mirabella and instead filing divorce or choosing separation from each other, they decided to work their relationship out.

Everything soon returned to normal and Mirabella was happy again. In school, Mirabella's teachers were impressed by her smart mind. They could tell she was way more advanced than her classmates bad exceeded expectations. Her teachers told her parents that she should be placed in a high class. Her parents contemplated that but they decide that they did not want to deprive their daughter of a childhood so they declined it. So even until middle school and even in high school, she continued to excel in her classes but struggled with social life. She sat alone at lunch tables and she considered herself friendless until a boy who was half Puerto Rican like her newly transferred in to Miduna Beach High School named Nick. He became her friend and her only friend.

People teased them about being love with each other but they kept on denying their feeling. At age 18, she graduated high school as the valedictorian and received in fact many scholarships to University of Miduna Beach, Barfield Institute of Science and Technology, and many other colleges too. This freaked her out and she decided to take a gap year to get her applications together. A year later she enrolled in University of Miduna Beach and is working on getting her teacher degree because she wants to be an elementary school teacher. Even though she is currently unemployed her parents are paying her college loans even though it is a small amount because most of it were covered and already paid by her scholarship.
