Herminia Lucendra, a woman of thirty-two, carries the weight of her life's complexities with a grace that belies her tumultuous journey. Her hazel eyes, often mistaken for those of a young man, peer out from beneath a curtain of curly black hair with bangs that frame her cinnamon-skinned face. Her neck-length hair, a deliberate choice, adds to the ambiguity of her appearance, which she uses to her advantage in the cutthroat world she navigates. Herminia's attire, a blend of practicality and femininity, often includes a well-tailored jacket and trousers, paired with delicate, hidden touches of lace or pastel colors that speak to her secret love for all things cute and girly—a side she has learned to keep veiled for fear of not being taken seriously in her role as a babysitter and assistant to the notorious Mondragón family.

Her connection to the Mondragóns is rooted in the past, where her grandfather's friendship with Asael's grandfather fostered a bond that transcended generations. Despite her initial reservations about working for a family known for their villainous deeds, the allure of financial stability and a yearning for excitement in her otherwise mundane life drew her in. Herminia's heart, kind and good-natured, shines through most vividly in her interactions with Asael's niece, whom she adores and protects fiercely. Yet, her relationship with Asael is fraught with tension and sarcasm, a dynamic that shifts from animosity to a begrudging friendship as they navigate the dangers and intrigues of their shared world.

Herminia's character is marked by a duality; she is polite and respectful to Asael's grandfather and the mansion's staff, yet capable of fierce anger when provoked. Her cowardice is a facade that falls away when those she loves are threatened, revealing a courage that surprises even herself. As she grows more comfortable in her role and within herself, Herminia begins to embrace her softer, more girlish side, integrating it into her life with a newfound confidence that changes how she is perceived by those around her.

Her journey is one of self-discovery and acceptance, navigating the treacherous waters of loyalty, love, and the quest for personal identity within the shadow of the Mondragón family's dark legacy.
