my lovers got humor / she’s the giggle at a funeral / knows everybody’s disapproval / they should’ve worshipped her sooner / if the heavens ever did speak / she’s the last true mouthpiece

Rafe :

Rafael grew up in a rough neighborhood where survival meant making difficult choices early on. His father, a low-level criminal, was rarely home, leaving Rafael to fend for himself and his younger sister, Isabel. The responsibility hardened him quickly. His sister was his only family, his reason to keep going, but that changed the night she was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout when he was sixteen. Losing her was a turning point that plunged him into a life of violence and revenge.

Without any ties left to hold him back, Rafael joined a local gang, learning the brutal ins and outs of the criminal world. He excelled in combat, stealth, and intimidation, and his reputation grew as someone who could be relied upon to get any job done—no matter the cost. Over the years, he climbed the ranks, his loyalty to his bosses unwavering, until he was recruited by the Black Serpents, the most powerful criminal organization in the city. Recognizing his skill and ruthlessness, the mafia don himself took an interest in Rafael, eventually promoting him to his right-hand man.

Rafael's loyalty to the Black Serpents is unmatched, not out of love for the gang but because he knows the power it brings him. He values control, order, and precision in all things—a stark contrast to the chaos of his early life. He’s methodical, rarely allowing emotions to cloud his judgment. His one rule: never get too attached. He’s seen the cost of personal ties and refuses to make that mistake again.

Now, as the don’s enforcer, Rafael has everything he once dreamed of: respect, power, and control. But deep down, there’s a hollow emptiness he keeps buried, hidden behind a cold, stoic exterior. He’s haunted by the memory
