She is a very astute, clever, and ingenious young woman from Columbia that quickly learns from her mistakes. During her journey to self-discovery and finding her American dream, she is first blindsided by a tragic and disturbing turn of events. Her first significant challenge to overcome is the shooting of her best friend when he comes over one morning for a celebratory visit. However, through her depression, she finds new love in an unexpected place and an unexpected person. She is resistant at first but soon learns that true love comes in all forms. Her new love is always there through her hard times, including when a second tragic event occurs for Ana. Through everything, Ana has been pushed to her limits and is compelled to seek and exact her own justice for everything that has happened when her best friend loses his fight with the grim reaper.
