Character Biography
Cristela is a law school student who also takes care of her family. And her sister’s family. And her brother-in-law’s family... she’s busy. But she’s not going to let anything stop her from becoming the next Sonia Sotomayor. Even if that means going against her traditional Mexican family’s dreams for her and taking an internship – or as her mother, Natalia, calls it “a job where you make no money.” Cristela’s sister, Daniela, loves having Cris at her house because she takes care of Daniela’s kids, Henry and Isabella. But Daniela’s husband, Felix, impatiently awaits the day Cristela will move out. When Cristela has free time she spends it ranking her favorite Dr. Who doctors and following the Enterprise through deep space. She’s a nerd; a real nerd. But most importantly, Cristela is committed to her career she has worked so hard for and will become one of the greatest lawyers Texas has ever seen.
