ᴇᴠᴀ ᴍᴜʀɪʟʟᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ꜱᴏ ꜰᴀʀ ... Eva's early years in Vespucci, like so many others, were marked by the challenges of a broken family structure, an unforgiving poverty line, and violent crime. Gabriel Moreno was doing dimes upstate before Eva was old enough to walk, and his wife Elena was more motivated by her addictions than the prospect of single parenthood. By the time Eva was seven the role of caretaker had been thrust onto her, and she shouldered that responsibility a little easier with every sibling her mother left behind in her drug-addled wake. Although their financial woes were exacerbated by Elena's erratic behavior, Eva was determined never to succumb to the criminal lifestyle so many of her peers were falling victim to; realizing the immediate needs of her brothers outweighed her own, she dropped out of high school at sixteen and from then on juggled multiple low-wage jobs to provide a semblance of stability and support for the household. She grew resilient, and more than that she learned how best to listen to the happenings around her and manipulate them for her own ends. Despite her efforts, the relentless grip of Vespucci's crime-riddled streets could not be held at bay forever; after a series of unfortunate events and tragedies struck, the lines between survival and street culture began to blend, and the boundaries of right and wrong blurred. By the time Eva turned eighteen, she and middle brother Miguel had been drawn into the orbit of Terror Town 13. While Miguel became a full-fledged member, Eva, content with the background but not with irrelevance, began quietly conspiring with and for the gang's leadership. While the shadows kept her safe, they did not save her loved ones; when her fiancé, brother, and cousin were cut down in the streets, she learned where half-measures led. Driven to protect her surviving peers, she stepped fully into the lifestyle and has become a shadow herself — purposefully and tactfully maintaining anonymity within the criminal justice system in order to carry out the work bestowed upon her by the upper echelon of the West Side. ᴀᴄᴛ ɪ. ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴜᴅ 0 — A Retrospective. 1 — Honing Grief & Rage.
