Description
Juanita would be attractive but her bizarre appearance... she seems to relish the mixing of conflicting colors and styles of clothes. She is of mixed race and has short dread-locks and coffee colored skin and big brown eyes. She wears combat boots and various Santeria and occult paraphanlia. She is openly bisexual and has a repuation for getting into fights, although she's toned down her behavior a bit since her stint with the Benendanti. When it comes to magic, she exudes a confidence that she can only partially back up.

My So-Called Life
Juanita was moved to Solomon after her parents divorced. Her father won custody after her mother got arrested for a violent protest. He saw Solomon as a place his daughter could be raised without negative influences. We will pause here for the laughter to subside.

Okay, then. Juanita's mother kept in touch and gave her daughter a book on Santeria, as well as contacts in Martense's activist community. As a result, Juanita is a little hell-raising mamba, ready to take on the town's silver spoon crowd. There aren't too many kids-of-color on Solomon, so when she arrived in her sophomore year of high school, Juantia had to find friends among the school's misfit crowd. She was especially fond of Cora Hicks, with whom she shared an interest in the occult and an ambiguous sexuality, although they drifted apart in later years as Juanita followed a darker path.

When We Were Kids
She was in New York raising hell, albeit not quite so literally as she would later in life.

Family
Her father is a successful black lawyer and her mother was an inner city activist who is, unfortunately, doing time after getting arrested during a violent protest.
