Carmen Santiago-Hunter

She looks inside the heart for the answers, creating outer expressions of that self and deciding on who she is by what comes out.

Other characters may be drawn to her depth of feeling, but later feel that she subtly rejects them when they get too close..Carmen is best friends with Hope Thornhart even though they are complete opposites.
