Viviana is a beautiful young woman with whom Luis Rodriguez has a passionate but confusing relationship. Luis first meets Viviana at a parade, where he’s dismayed to learn that she’s affiliated with a rival gang. Nevertheless, Luis and Viviana strike up a relatively secret romance. Though Viviana breaks off their relationship, Luis and Viviana get back together two years later, albeit briefly. Viviana is shown to be a calming influence on Luis’s life, and the simple fact that Luis pursues a relationship with her shows that he’s beginning to question the artificial barriers caused by gang warfare.
