The morning was warm and beautiful the people walked through the streets happy.

Nayeli was walking down the streets alone holding a wicker basket full of groceries like milk,bread,graps and her father's favourite wine she managed to get a good deal on at the market she was wearing a simple white and blue off shoulder dress her hair was tied up in a simple style with a plain rose clip for decoration. Nayeli was a rather plain and simple girl not nearly as pretty as Maria Posada known as a beauty and powerful woman. Nayeli looked around for her favourite shop and smiled when she saw it walking over a bakery stall "Hello senior Carlos may i have some Conch please?" She asked and buying her favourite Vallina flavoured bread "here you go" the man replied as they exchanged the money and bread

A little girl runs past her in a light green and black dress and her hair down with a red ribbon in the back of her hair. The little girl giggles as she passes she doesn't look where she heading and trips over a crack in the streets.

Nayeli gasped and walked over and placed the basket and Conchas down and helped the little girl up "oh my are you alright little one?" She asked softly smiling at the girl with a warm kind smile making her look gentle and hamless as to not upset or spook the young girl after all they were strangers and with children taught stranger danger and that fact the little girl could be shy or nervous with anyone she doesn't know

The little girl looked up at her and smiled "I'm ok thank you miss for helping me" she said. She started to get up she had a little scrape on her knee and winced a little.

Nayeli looked down at her leg and frowned a little "don't worry your gonna be fine" she said walking to a watwr pump and pulled out a hanky from her basket and made aure the hanky was wet and clean before aheade sure the little girl's scraped leg was clean and once the wound is clean she dried it with a piece of clean dry cloth and wrapped the dry cloth around her leg

//didn't the book of life take place on the 1900's like 1920s or something?

The little girl smiled "Thank you again miss" she said and hugged her. She then turned and left disappearing into the crowd.

(Maybe i don't think it said what time period it took place)

//ashame we could have looked it up

Nayeli hugged the little girl back and watched her leave while smiling and than picked up her basket and Conchas planing them into her basket and picked up one and took a bite as she walked down the path "i wonder who father will arrange my marriage with" she thought to herself looking at various couple's and familes she hoped to find a fairytale love like in the books unaware fairytale only existed in fairytales or dreams "i just hope I'm not engaged to a creep" she thought worried ahe be stuck with a horried man, a creep or someone twice her age . Nayeli signed "i hope the girl is alright at least" she said to herself

In an dark alleyway entrance the little girl transformed. Instead of a little girl there stood a figure made of sugar candy that wore a long black armored dress made out of tar and ectoplasm. The figure had long black hair with little white highlights that ended just above the bottom of the trailing tar that was behind her. Two white and black marigolds were on the sides of her head just below her big red rimmed hat that had candles around the top rim and a long gray crown with horns spouting out both sides topped with black waxed candles with green flames was in the middle. On her back where a large pair of black angel wings. One her face she had a right green eye with a red skull pupil and for her left eye she had was white and had a yellow pupil with a light blue rim around it. A blue snake slithered around her arm as she watched Nayeli leave.

//ohh snakes black candles me like XD

Nayeli stopped to help an old lady down the stairs safely and into her house where the ladies family and grandchildren were waiting and due to her kindness and almost by fate she given a few Marigold flowers she thanked the old couple and said her goodbyes and walked towards her house in the centre of the town it was a house on the far left with the balcony and blue flowers. The marigold made her think of the day of the dead and the attack andhow maria found her love (events in book as I'm assuming this rps is taking place after the movie) "father i am home" she said as she opened the door


//i don't remember if the house belongs to any of the main characters so applogies if it dose
