Personality

Lupe is a very tough, assertive woman who is also hardworking, fierce, and strong. She's sassy and takes shit from no one. Lupe is very firm and unbending to the point of being hard-headed. She's incredibly loyal and faithful without question unless given reason. This makes her a great person to have as a companion once someone is able to get close enough to her. Lupe is short-tempered and getting on her bad side isn't advisable.

She always trusts her instincts and is very cynical when it comes to matters of the heart, preferring to not open up romantically and disregarding feelings. Basically Lupe has a "hit it and quit it" philosophy when it comes to dating and she's very blunt and straightforward about it so there'll be no confusion.

Lupe is secretive and doesn't speak about herself often, even to people that she considers close to her. She holds everything in because she doesn't trust anyone enough to confide in them. She is often moody and independent which makes approaching her even more difficult. Lupe often makes the first move and is very bold when doing so, not caring what others think of her.

Family:
Mother: Caroline Reyes (nee Garcia) | Chef | Alive
Father: Alejandro Reyes | U.S. Air Force | Deceased
Twin Sister: Lucy Morgan (nee Reyes) | Truck Driver | Alive
Younger Brother: Emilio Reyes | U.S. Marine | Alive
Ex-husband: Raphael Prescott | Unemployed | Incarcerated

Past: Lupe's parents were young and immigrated to the United States against their families' wishes, settling down in Texas where they eloped. Caroline went to culinary school while Alejandro enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. After graduating, Caroline gave birth to twin girls that she named Lupe and Lucy and had a boy named Emilio five years later.

The Reyes family's bliss was short-lived when Alejandro died during the 9/11 attacks. He was at the World Trade Center and was killed instantly when one of the planes crashed into the South Tower. The tragedy nearly destroyed the family and the grief was overwhelming for them. Lupe dealt with her pain by acting out and getting into trouble.

When she entered high school, Lupe got involved in JROTC and channeled all of her energy into it and engineering, a love that her father often shared with her. This lead to her enlisting in the Marines when she was 17 and after high school graduation, she went to boot camp. Her MOS was 1371 Combat Engineer.

Lupe graduated from boot camp with honors and was the top of her class when she started training for her MOS. This lead to her being highly revered and becoming First Sergeant rather quickly. Lupe also found love when she met Raphael Prescott who was a sniper in the Special Forces. They married after dating for a year.

Five years into their marriage, Lupe discovered that Raphael was having an affair with an underage girl and angrily reported it to his superiors. This lead to him being dishonorably discharged and jailed for statutory rape. Lupe promptly divorced Raphael and decided to leave the Marines to work for a respectable and large company as a senior engineer. She chose to forsake romantic relationships and completely devoted herself to her work, only having the occasional fling here and there.

Family, Friends, and Foes

Family:
Father: Richard Chang | Carpenter | Alive
Mother: Charlotte Chang | Lawyer | Alive
Twin Sister: Diana Ramirez (nee Chang) | Musician | Alive
Younger Brother: Castiel Chang | U.S. Air Force | Alive

Past: Daniel's mother was a solider in the North Korean military who defected to South Korea while guarding the DMZ. Despite having nothing to her name, she was determined to make the best of it and met Richard Chang who was a Korean-American visiting South Korea due to family issues. The pair hit it off rather quickly and thanks to Richard's family being wealthy, he was able to take the defector back to the U.S. so she could have a fresh start.

The woman changed her name to Charlotte and eventually married Richard, taking his last name. As their marriage flourished and their family grew, so did their careers. Charlotte became a lawyer while Richard became a carpenter. Daniel's childhood was mostly happy and filled with lots of hard work and activity because of his parents' expectations.

When he was 15, Charlotte introduced Daniel to a close friend of hers named Rouge who became his mentor and confidante. But the line between them became blurred when their relationship turned sexual. For Daniel, this was his first sexual experience and his first time experiencing feelings of love. But it was short-lived as his furious parents made him end the relationship or else they would press charges due to Daniel being underage.

He drowned himself in schoolwork to distract himself from his broken heart as he got older and had his sights set on becoming a lawyer just like his mother. As Daniel went through college, he began to date again but most of his relationships were casual flings as opposed to serious, long-term ones. He gained a reputation for being a ladies man which only got bigger and more prolific after he passed the bar exam and began his career.
