Jacinta is Penélope’s devoted governess. She had a deep spiritual and emotional connection to her charge, believing her to be the daughter she could never have. After the discovery of Penélope’s affair, the Aldayas throw Jacinta out of the house and she never sees her again. Later Jacinta gives Daniel many details on Penélope and Carax’s youth. She’s convinced that the events of their lives, including Penélope’s tragic death, are dictated by a predetermined destiny, which manifests itself to her as the spirit Zacarías.
