Eyes: Large, slightly wide-set, and golden brown.
Dress Style: Sensible, hard-wearing for work - there's not much point in having nice clothes if you're just going to get them floured and oily. When she's hosting or otherwise courting investors or guests, she cleans up very, very nicely.
Distinguishing Features:
Notable Possessions:
Manner of Speaking: A pleasant voice with a bit of the sweetness ground away. Accented spanish when speaking English. Her spanish is Caliche seseo.

Getting Things Done
What are your primary focuses, in terms of the four main stats?
Watchful primary, Marisol is very much focused on knowledge as a means to getting things done. Shadowy and Persuasive occupy her middle ground, enough of each that she can manage to keep some decently sized secrets and contacts, not enough to break into the Bazaar or charm Lilac.
What are your weaknesses? She's dangerous enough to lift a side of beef onto a chopping block, no more.
Allies & Associates:
Pets: You can't have pets in the kitchen.
Connections:
Highest Connection: The Widow - it's hard to run a bar in Spite without actually knowing of the woman. It's easier if you actually work for her.
Second highest connection: Criminals first, then society - contacts, contacts, contacts. All for specific reasons, of course.
Lowest Connection: Revolutionaries. The '44 hurt her family, and she'll give no help to anyone advancing any liberation. Also the Masters, because they're just as bad as any other oligarchs - and she might not be following all the rules all the time.
Enemies: Any member of the '44, anyone who thinks bombs and guns are a good way to bring change.
Ambition:
Other Goals: Keep Sea and Sun quiet, secure new patrons,
Finance: A few behind-the-scenes patrons, plus the money the Sea and Sun pulls in - comfortable, not too excessive. Does most of her trading in favours and concepts.
Residence: A suite of rooms above the Sea and Sun.
Notable Possessions:
Favoured Weapon: Frying pan. Shotgun behind the bar.
Combat Style: Bluster.

Background
Life Before London: She’s always been Marisol - nothing much changed on the surface besides her fool brother getting deadly involved in local politics, and her having to flee the country due to the unstable nature of the topside political climate. Three brothers, two parents, all ostensibly alive somewhere - they answer her letters, so there’s that. She did the usual growing-up things, apprenticed to the President’s chef at age eighteen.
How did you Fall?: Guatemala wasn’t safe enough, and London beckons.
A Brief History of Life in London: Three years of building up her own contacts and buying herself out of debt from the Widow - she’s gone from barrow-seller to her own restaurant.
Religion: Catholic
Occupation: Restaurateur, bartender
Hobbies & Interests: Cuisine, politics,
Talents: Can dismantle a fish in under twenty seconds, can arrange to have saffron delivered within two days.
Un-Talents: Can't leave things unfinished, a bit arrogant.
Education: Public schooling, self-taught for some other things, formal apprenticeship from 18-28 when she rightly became a master of her own.
Languages: Spanish (Caliche), Nahuatl, English.
Family: Mother, Father, Brother, Brother, Brother. Cousins (9?), Aunts (3), Uncles (5).
The Relationship Stuff
Relationship Status: Single, married to the stove.
Sexual Orientation:
Anything Else?:
How does your character feel about...
Sentient Nonhumans? The clay don’t seem to eat. This irritates her a bit, but they can bring the heavy new cabinets in, so they’s okay? Except Jasper and Frank, the bastards.
The rubbery eat, but they smell like lemons, and it throws off the dinner.
What about Tomb-Colonists? As long as they aren’t overly perfumed, they’re fine.
Devils and Hell? Some of her best customers, but she doesn’t trust them.
The Masters? She’s just hoping she keeps skating under their radar - especially Mr. Spices and Mr. Wines.
The Bazaar? Nothing at the moment.
Social Issues? A bit revolutionary in her own ideas, but she hates revolutionaries.
Religion? Catholic - God is lovely, and scary, and there for you.
Temperance? Can you all /not/ stop drinking please.
