  1. Reyes de la Fuente is a 23 year-old native of the Brixton neighborhood of London. Born into a family of mixed ethnicities, Reyes’ father was of mixed Spanish and Italian descent, while her mother was predominantly Palestinian and Scottish. Already an odd combination on their own, Reyes ironically fit in in the largely mixed race neighborhood she grew up in. For most of her childhood, the family lived in one of the numerous low income housing estates in Brixton. When Reyes was eleven, her mother left – after a messy divorce, Reyes’ father ended up claiming primary custody of their one child. Her father remarried two years later and proceeded to have two children with his new wife, while Reyes’ mother was briefly engaged to a younger, wealthy politician before she succumbed to opioid abuse and overdosed when Reyes was eighteen.
  2. For her part, Reyes was a troublemaker from the start. While she was a good-natured child, with two working parents who often argued she often found herself bereft of attention. This created a foundation for behavioral problems later on, as well as a deep resistance to authority that was only reinforced by a childhood in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Reyes learned how to fend for herself at a young age, and as she grew up and was subjected to her parents’ bitter divorce, her father’s new marriage, new siblings, and her mother’s eventual overdose, Reyes more and more turned toward outside entertainments to distract from her turbulent home life.
  3. When she was twelve, Reyes started shoplifting. Initially, it was only small, cheap things – gum from the convenience store, beer from the grocer’s, a bracelet from the cheap, run-down boutique on the corner. Perhaps it was the thrill of it or the fact that she was never caught, but Reyes eventually graduated from petty shoplifting to pickpocketing and shoplifting from higher end stores.
  4. By the time she was sixteen, she had fallen in with a group of school friends who spent much of their time skipping class, experimenting with drugs, and sneaking into raves at night. With a father who barely ever noticed if she was home, Reyes was free to do as she pleased, and she did so with abandon. Though she was undeniably intelligent, she refused to apply herself in school, nor did she show any interest in holding down a steady job. Instead, she pawned off stolen items to the network of fences who operated throughout London.
  5. Eventually, after she’d graduated primary school and had moved out of her father’s house to a dingy flat shared with four other girls, Reyes finally fell in with the Braylock family. She was only twenty when she met Connor Braylock, the scion of the Braylock family and the head of their “enterprises.” She was summarily recruited and dove headfirst into a world of organized crime with the same reckless abandon that she approached everything with. In the three years since, Reyes had demonstrated time and again that she has no qualms with the darker aspects of the life she’s chosen – indeed, she seems to relish in them.
  6. Now 23 years old, Reyes has made something of a name for herself in the Braylock’s organization. She has her own apartment in Southwark, and while it’s dirty and cramped, it puts her in close proximity to her workplaces, both the Black Star Arms bar where she serves drinks three days a week and the back room, where the Braylocks true business takes place.
