Chantelle is the daughter of gangster father Rafael "Bestia" Méndez and hairstylist mother Deidra Murray.  Her father was a notorious gangbanger whose family had previously been involved with R13, which ultimately led to his criminal activities being uncovered and police encircling the unit where he lived with his girlfriend and daughter. Chantelle was just six months old when a swarm of cops raided her apartment and abducted her father, who was convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in a federal prison in central San Andreas. She spent her first few years of life in Rancho, often visiting her father and her mother, who became increasingly distant from him.

Deidra was renowned for being a big spender and a drug addict, and she preferred to lean on Rafael rather than working for herself as a hairstylist. Her bubble was burst when her boyfriend abruptly left the scene, and she was forced to face the reality of being alone with a daughter. Deidra tried to resume her activities at the local hair salon as her opioid addiction grew, but she quickly became overwhelmed. Deidra was constantly awakened by her daughter poking her shoulder and demanding to be fed. Because of Deidra's dwindling affection for Rafael, trips to prison became more rare as she grew up. They only occurred when Deidra needed money or security from the consequences of her bad decisions and enemies.

 

Deidra ultimately agreed to move to Houston, Texas, with a man she had only met a few weeks before, in the hopes of finding love and money away from the streets of South Los Santos. Rafael continued to make an effort to be there for her daughter, writing letters and making phone calls, as well as sending her crafted presents and photos of himself. Chantelle grew up wishing for her father to come out and pick her up so they could return to Los Santos; the memories of seeing his smile and feeling his hugs faded as she entered her teenage years. Deidra's plan for a wonderful life in Texas was clearly poorly thought out, and the two ended up in a neighborhood not dissimilar to Rancho, where Chantelle juggled her studies with caring for her mother, whose mind seemed to become increasingly poisoned by the drugs as the days passed.

She heard all the threats and spiteful things Deidra bombarded Rafael with every time he couldn't give her money for the fourth time in the month, and she witnessed her mother and father fighting on the phone far too many times for her to keep track of. Despite seeing her mother's once beautiful face deteriorate and her world fall apart in front of her, Chantelle remained present and caring to her, even though she didn't feel the same way. She was the only member of her family who cared for her, and she couldn't bear losing her mother after spending her childhood apart from the person who seemed to love her the most.

 

Chantelle's fourteenth birthday signaled the end of the last semblance of carefreeness in her life. Her mother's addictions seemed to grow and consume her, and she would call Rafael several times a week begging for money, which she would normally spend on her fix. Deidra wanted to cut off all interaction with Rafael for both herself and Chantelle when she understood that using the excuse of loans, expenses, and feeding her daughter was no longer working.
Chantelle's new desires seemed to call for a waltz around the many faces of adolescent rebellion. She went from being a quiet student to being obnoxious and arrogant, skipping as many classes as she could. She began to think more about receiving likes and DMs on social media than good grades as her image shifted from that of a child to that of a woman in the making. Chantelle gradually followed in her father and mother's footsteps, developing a taste for light drugs and liquor, as well as fighting, shoplifting, car jacking, and other petty crimes to spice up her life. She pictured herself dying in a shootout or overdosing after a night out; it was almost as if she had embraced the reality that there was nothing better in store for her, that she could only go lower from there. It didn't matter to her; her resentment for her mother and the loneliness of such a mundane existence had sapped her of all happiness. That is, until her phone rang one day, and she heard her father's voice calling out to her.
Rafael's voice was the only thing on the line that day, not the automated message from the federal prison collect call. The line didn't fall after fifteen minutes, the call didn't end with a sigh. That day, it ended with a deep breath that tasted like renewed intent.
