Ana was raised by her single mother, Sasha, who encountered Wilson Jeffers out-of-uniform, and wasn’t supposed to know of his identity as the Black Avenger (this sort of secret life is fairly hard to keep from someone who shares your bed, however...). She returned to her native Puerto Rico when her father grew ill, and she ended up remaining there for several years, taking care of both her father, and her own younger siblings, only discovering in the months after her abrupt departure that she was pregnant. She made the choice not to address the issue of her child’s father, feeling that her baby would be better off not having a father forced to keep secrets from her, and living a risky life of crimefighting.

Her daughter Analucia was born seven months later, and her father lived long enough to see his granddaughter, before cancer took his life. Sasha remained in Puerto Rico for a dozen more years, tending at first to her siblings and establishing her own life. She skimped on the details, but did tell her daughter that her father was a hero in America, someone to be proud of, as it quickly became apparent that the child shared her fathers’ physical enhancements. Terrified that the young girl would become a bully, Sasha raised her very strictly, counseling her to never abuse her gifts, never to dishonor this heroic father of hers. In a way, the hidden identity of her father helped to keep Ana on an even keel, since she really had no true benchmark against which to compare herself, and she slowly began to reveal hints of her strength in school, dealing with local bullies. Seeing that Ana wasn’t able to fully conceal her gifts, Sasha briefly considered putting her into a more strict Catholic school, or even home-schooling her, in an attempt to avoid these confrontations, but quickly realized that her daughter was indeed using her physical advantages only to protect those not so gifted, a tendency that she couldn’t bring herself to quash.

Instead she instructed Ana to begin taking self-defense courses, and to make sure that she learned enough to be able to disguise her true strength and speed, behind a façade of dedication, advanced training and skill. Ana quickly got ‘a reputation’ among those in her local school as someone not to be messed with, and developed a cadre of grateful losers and outcasts, who had previously been the picked-upon underclass of the school. Through these newfound friends, she discovered an aptitude for art, turning the landscaping and construction work she’d been doing for money into the beginnings of a serious interest in architectural design. When she isn’t in the gym, exercising or practicing martial arts moves, she can be seen, sketchpad in hand, drawing surrounding buildings and ‘deconstructing’ them to reveal the framework underneath.

In the final year of high school, her mother revealed to her the identity of her father (quite by accident, she had been sighing over an old picture of her former lover when Ana walked into the kitchen). Ana was caught halfway between outrage, interest and disappointment. She had built up her imaginary father to be someone still active and prominent in the super-hero community, a builder of things, like she wanted to be, such as Daedalus. To her generation, the ‘Black Avenger’ was a has-been, or, more accurately, a ‘never-was.’

She has traveled to Freedom City on a scholarship program to study architecture at Freedom College (which has a few special programs for students from US territories, such as Puerto Rico) with a conflicting desire to meet her father, and to prove that someone with his powers could actually be a better ‘hero’ than he ever was. She really has no idea what she would do if face to face with the man, and it’s quite likely that she might actually avoid an encounter with him, since she’s not sure she’s really ready to put a face to the myth that she’s grown up with, fearing that he will come up horribly short of her expectations.

In Freedom, she has quickly found that some of the ‘old rules’ apply here as well, and that there will always be those willing to use their strength to bully the weak, and so she is already getting a ‘reputation’ in the streets around her off-campus quarters (shared with several other roommates who also couldn’t secure on-campus housing, due to over-recruitment). She has taken to wearing a bandito-style scarf over her lower-face to conceal her identity, but otherwise wears dark pants and a jean-jacket when walking the streets at night, taking advantage of her overactive metabolism to remain active doing *something* (whether it be study, sketching, exercising, dancing the night away or ‘patrolling’) 24/7.

Ana is about 5' 9," and hides considerable muscle mass under her soft curves. She often keeps her long wavy black hair pulled back and out of the way while exercising, patrolling or studying, but lets it all hang out when she goes dancing, whipping around her in a frenzy of motion. She has prominent Hispanic features, and little sign of her African-American ancestry, other than being slightly darker of skin than average.
