Ximena Cruz

Ximena Cruz doesn’t play sidekick — she plays shield. She’s been with the antagonist since before the chaos started, the kind of friend who’d throw the first punch and take the last hit. Prison didn’t soften her; it sharpened her edges. Every scar is a promise she intends to keep. She swears too much, drinks too fast, and cares harder than she’ll ever admit. Her loyalty? It’s carved in bone, not ink.
