Caren : Valeria's guardian.
Valeria" Caren's teenage ward
Riquelme: Villainess
Caren's parents came to the South American country as children from Europe following WWII. She was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was 13 years old, leaving her on her own. She joined a gang and was involved in some criminal activity. She was arrested at age 14. The judge felt she had some good qualities and referred her to Valeria's parents.
Valeria, age 9, needed someone to stay with her and keep her safe. Caren was sent over to her new place. Caren shared a bedroom with Valeria. Sometimes Valeria would crawl into Caren's bed at night and sleep with her. Valeria was desperate for love. Unfortunately Caren was vulnerable, and needed love but kept her feelings hidden. She would pretend to be asleep so Valeria could stay in her bed.
Caren went to school with the servant's children while Valeria was at school. They both did well. One night Valeria asked Caren which she would prefer crawling on her bare chest, earthworms or slugs.
Caren: What a terrible question! I don't want anything crawling on me!
Valeria: That's what makes it fun! Its just a question.
Caren: (Sighs) Okay, I would prefer earthworms!
Valeria: Why earthworms?
Caren: They are just cold and wet. Slugs are slimy.
Valeria: So let it be writen, so let it be done!
(Caren gasps and puts her hand on her chest)
Valeria: Don't be so serious. Its just a game!
When Valeria was age 16 her parents were murdered at Riquelme's orders. Their will designated Caren as Valeria's guardian. Caren, age 21 was tasked with raising Valeria. Riquelme announced that she wanted Valeria killed too. She was desperate for love and reassurance from Caren. Caren felt a heavy responsibility for Valeria and tried to discipline her.
Valeria tested Caren many times and could be bratty. She ran away from home and Caren tracked her down. They had an angry confrontation. Caren insisted that she didn't hate Valeria and wanted her to come home. Soon both were in tears when Caren confessed her love for Valeria. Valeria said she loved Caren too. They hugged and wept.
Enroute to their new home Valeria said: "Now we can get breast implants!"
Caren: I'm satisfied with my body. Besides you have to be at least 18 to get breast implants!
Valeria: I'm flat chested. Wouldn't you like to be bigger?
Caren: I've never thought about it. You're beautiful as you are!
Valeria: You like the way I look?
Caren: Definately! I would'nt change a hair on your head! Wait until you're 18 and maybe you could talk me into it!
Valeria: (Sighs) That's two whole years!
