Araseli should have had an easy life. Her father was a wealthy man, more Spanish than Mexican. But he was also corrupt. Most of his money was tied up into drugs and most of his influence into the cartels responsible. Naturally, when the power dynamics changed he was killed along with her mother and older brothers. Araseli, then just a baby, was spared in an uncharacteristic act of kindness by Jose Masanto, the man who intended to fill the vacuum left by Araseli's new family. He sent her away, to be raised outside of Veracruz by his grandmother. The woman taught Araseli many things, and raised her in the superstitions of the Brujeria, witchcraft.

For her part, Araseli was always a relatively modern girl. She loved cars and was fascinated by computers. She loved fashion and she loved attention. Her surrogate abuela was relatively kind to her, but she didn't understand her. She also contributed to the loneliness and general feeling of being an outsider Araseli had. She ended up leaving to Mexico City when she was only thirteen, and got caught up with a gang of car thieves. She took to it quickly, and being a pretty girl, they took to her.

Soon she found herself dating the leader, a young man named Enrique Salvator. He was ambitious and spoiled her. He also stifled her. She was to be his arm piece; an accessory like his numerous tattoos and expensive jewelry. As much as she'd deny it, Araseli loved it for a time. But again she felt like there was more. And Enrique's ambition was quickly becoming a liability for both of them and he was becoming more than just emotionally abusive. A rival gang offered her a way out. If she set Enrique and his boys up, they would give her a new life in the US. She took it.

There weren't really many regrets as she watched the monitors on the screen in the airport. Enrique and everyone he knew was dead. She'd never given him her real name and now she had a passport and "legal" papers as a citizen of the United States. Of course, being sixteen years old in a country that speaks a very different language than your own is not easy. Araseli managed to survive, bartering her various skills to the local Latino communities and their criminal elements as needed. She eventually made her way to Atlanta and hooked up with the Lobos Feroz cartel. They were small time, mostly selling stolen cell phones, fencing tech and cars when they could. There had been a power vacuum since a major snowstorm hit a couple years before.

Rumors of her being a witch that practiced black magic swirled among the gang and the Latin community, but her generally pleasant demeanor and party girl attitude made it hard for them to distrust her too much. They had no idea her powers were real. They had no idea that shortly after settling in Atlanta she'd found herself trapped in a nightmare world taunted by the images of her dead family and former allies. They had no idea that her disgust for her betrayals of herself and others had caused her to Awaken. And Araseli had no idea what being a Mastigos would really mean. But she did know once she had signed her name, there was a new conviction in her.
