History Characters / SinSenosNoHayParaiso

* AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs: Averted. Her services go in quite the opposite direction. She prefers to service her men as though they were kings ie: taking off their shoes, giving them massages etc.

* MyBelovedSmother: She always worried about Valentina's wellbeing and safety but this goes UpToEleven in the third season after finding out about a curse put on her that would take her daughter's life. After that, she straight up follows Valentina around and is suspicious of every new face around her.

%% * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jota, especially in the second series

%% * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With el Titi.

%% * EntitledToHaveYou: The way Titi views her after she gets her breast implants.

%% * BadBoss: Not as bad as La Diabla but he can be quite cruel, especially when things don't go his way.

** Another reason why this backfired on her spectacularly was because, by being declared dead, it gave the DEA more room to capture her without having to deal with the extradition laws and speeding up the process.

* TraumaCongaLine: Well, to start, at the very first party she was brought to, she was raped by 3 henchmen who took advantage of her naivete and insecurity regarding her body. As a result of this, she got pregnant and had to go through a painful abortion, due to not having enough money to pay for the anaesthetic. Later on, she would get the implants she desperately wanted, but because of a mishap, she went to the surgeon that was helping the drug lords put their merch in implants for transportation, resulting in her developing an infection and having to have them removed and leaving her unable to have another surgery due to the severity of it. When she thought she finally caught a break after marrying the wealthiest drug lord in the area, her brother is killed, her mother and ex-boyfriend (who she claimed was the love of her life) fell in love with each other and her mom was expecting his child. Finally, her best friend betrayed her, stealing her husband and wealth from her, leaving Catalina poor, without protection and humiliated. After all of this, is no wonder why she wished to take her life.

%% * BelligerentSexualTension: With Albeiro. It has to be noted that this was shown to exist in a small degree even ''before'' he truly broke up with Catalina.

* SuicideByAssassin: She told Pelambre that she wanted to eliminate Yésica and prepared everything to have a meeting with her ex-best friend in an open air restaurant. When it was nearly time for the reunion, Catalina called Pelambre to tell him that Yésica was waiting at a table reading a bible, and that it was the moment to strike. The two assassins that Pelambre hired did the job without incident but when he called Catalina to tell her the news, he noticed that the phone near the corpse was also ringing and, upon closer inspection, he realised that the victim was actually Catalina and that she had used his affections as a way to secure her own death.

%% * AllWomenArePrudes: Before she became a prepaid girl.

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Subverted. Though she is not as corrupt as the majority of the characters she is not unwilling to use and abuse those that care about her to get what she wants.

When it was nearly time for the reunion, Catalina called Pelambre to tell him that Yésica was waiting at a table reading a bible, and that it was the moment to strike. The two assassins that Pelambre hired did the job without incident but when he called Catalina to tell her the news, once he approached the scene when the police and paramedics arrived, she wasn't answering, it was then that he noticed that the phone near the corpse was ringing too and upon closer inspection he realised that the victim was actually Catalina and that she had used his affections as a way to secure her death.
* TraumaCongaLine: Well, to start, she was raped by 3 guys who took advantage of her naiveté and the fact that she felt hurt that the boss wasn't interested in her because she had small breasts, something she felt real self-conscious about.

Later on, she would have her implants, but without the knowledge that she was being used as a mule to transport drug in them, it resulted in her developing an infection and having to have them removed leaving her unable to have another pair implanted. Her brother is killed, her mother and ex-boyfriend (who she claimed was the love of her life) fell in love with each other and her mom was expecting his child. Her best friend betrayed her and stole her husband from her, leaving Catalina poor, without protection and humiliated. After all of this, is no wonder why she wished to take her life.
