Personality:
Basic Personality: Maricruz is a smart, tough woman and police officer. She's also very sweet and loves children, but having worked with enough cops can hang with the guys and tolerate their sexist jokes making her own witty remarks. She has put up a wall recently after having been raped and doesnt want anyone to get closed to her. She's afraid of getting hurt again and when getting scared often lashes out.

Occupation: Police Officer working Vice – currently undercover posing as a hooker after Deborah Morgan’s position opened up when she was transferred to homicide.
History
Birthplace: Puerto Rico
Family: Mother, 2 older sisters, Aunt and cousins living at home
History:
Maricruz was born in Puerto Rico. Her family moved to the United States (more specifically Miami) when she was 7 years old. Because of this Maricruz is bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English fluently and she also retains a slight accent but is easy to understand. She was raised by her mother along with 2 older sisters. They also lived with Maricruz’s aunt and a few cousins. When she was just starting high school one of her male cousins got shot and killed by a local gang. After that Maricruz became interested in law enforcement, wanting to make the streets she grew up in a safer place so that once she had children she could feel safe about them being outside.
Maricruz joined the Miami Metro Police Department and after working 2 years on the streets as a beat cop (handing out the usual traffic tickets and such) a spot opened up in Vice after Officer Morgan was transferred to Homicide. Maricruz applied for the transfer and was given the spot. She now works in Vice and is currently working an undercover job as a hooker hoping to continue to find leads and arrest Johns.
During her second week undercover, there was a problem with one of her arrests. When she flashed her badge to the man she was trying to arrest for soliciting a prostitute, he didnt take no for an answer. She was raped as he called her a whore. Ashamed of what had happened and of having not been able to protect herself despite being a cop, Maricruz wasnt able to report what happened. She also knew that if she reported it they would take her off this assignment so she kept quiet about things. She had always been tough before, but after the rape she became a lot more guarded and willing to fight back at the first sign of things going wrong.
