NARRATED BY ANDREA (DÉIA) Hi, folks! My name is Andrea, but everyone knows me as Déia. I'm 20 years old and I've been living in Morro do Alemão (a favela in Rio de Janeiro) for a short time. I never knew my father; I only had my mother, and when she passed away, I ended up moving in with my godmother, who is the only person I have in the world. I hardly ever leave the house because I'm a bit apprehensive. I was from the countryside, and everything here is very new to me. I'm fair-skinned, with black, straight hair that goes down to my waist, cut in layers. My eyes are brown, and my body is well-defined. I've had two boyfriends in my life, and both cheated on me. So, you could say I'm not lucky in love. That's why I keep my distance from men, especially if they're criminals. My godmother
