NAME is BRIEF DESCRIPTION.

Character History

Lizards

Alejandro and Maya, while seeking refuge at Nidia's house in Coatepeque, Guatemala, encounter a woman who claims she is a "Curandera", and can help Maya with her problem. Alejandro protests, informing her that they are going to the United States to see a real doctor. The woman insists, again stressing that she is a curandera, and takes Maya's hands. After a moment, she reacted in horror, saying that what she had inside her was evil, and of the devil. She moved away from Maya, left the room and did not return.

Powers

She apparently has some kind of ability to diagnose afflictions. She appears to require physical contact (she holds Maya's hands) for it to work.

Notes

• A "curandero" or "curandera" is a term that might be used for a folk healer or a "witch doctor" in much of Latin America. They operate outside the realm of traditional medicine, using such methods as holistic remedies or faith healing. In some places they are treated as religious figures, in others they are persecuted as witches.
