Character's Name: Consuela Rosaria Ramirez.
Occupation: Maid to the Rosenstein family.
Gender: Female.
Age: Fifty.
Height: 5' 4".
Hair Color: Black, with scattered streaks and strands of gray. Rather frizzy.
Eye Color: Dark brown.
Physical Description: Consuela is a fairly stout, middle-aged Hispanic woman, with nothing remarkable about her appearance. Except in church, she tends to wear the plain housedresses and aprons she makes herself.
Country/Hometown: The outskirts of Mexico City, Mexico.
Immediate Family: Six siblings and twenty-three cousins, with all of their attendant satellites, scattered across Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Personality: Consuela is paradoxically motherly yet tough-as-nails. As a housekeeper and pseudo-nanny, she is extremely proficient, although she won't hesitate to draw the line about what is and isn't her job. She tends to regard everyone around her as mildly insane, and bears their consternating behavior with the patience of Job (and a few acerbic thoughts that might, on occasion, slip out aloud in Spanish). Nevertheless, she has a fierce devotion to and affection for the Rosenstein family. She has devout Catholic beliefs, mixed in with a few rather superstitious flourishes from the local culture she grew up with.
Weaknesses: She is generally suspicious of mutants, although she is ultimately willing to judge them on their individual merits as people.
Additional Skills: A proficient seamstress, and a more than adequate cook (although not as skilled as Alex Malone, and having a native tendency toward spicy dishes that sometimes make his "experiments" an attractive alternative). She has an inherited knowledge of how to concoct all manner of cleansers and polishes from natural ingredients.
Hobbies/Interests: When not keeping house, Consuela usually reads her Bible or sews. Besides making clothes for herself, she often makes clothes and dolls to send as gifts to the children of her relatives.
Personal History: Consuela's history is quite unremarkable. She left Mexico for America (legally) at the age of seventeen, and has served as a maid ever since, starting in hotels and eventually moving on to private homes. She has never married or had children; caring for other people's families is more than enough for her. She began working for the Rosensteins when oldest daughter Tara was born, and has since become very much a member of the family, sharing their joys and sorrows.
Anything else:
Not at present.
