Your father, a rich planter, favored you with a good education (for a Brazilian woman), and left you a fair-sized fortune after his death. You have supported progressive causes in Brazil, such as the women's vote and emancipation of slaves. The newspaper "Sol" of Rio de Janeiro hired you as kind of a stunt, to build circulation. You reported on steamboat rides, interviewed the wives of famous men, and acted as a token woman. All the while you pushed for better stories, and bullied the editors into giving you more serious jobs. The publisher recently made you the paper's European correspondent -- this may or may have not been mostly to get rid of you.
Your youth included summers at the family plantation, where you sometimes carried a gun for protection.
Your native language is Brazilian-accented Portuguese; you speak fluent (but accented) English and French, and can read Latin. Remember that Brazil is an empire, ruled by Dom Pedro II.
You own a small revolver, and could easily afford any sort of firearm (though you've never used anything larger than a carbine or small shotgun).
