Summary
Dulciemiena had been a hard luck child from her conception. Her mother who was raped and conceived her, lost her mind, and died giving birth to her. For the first six years or her life, she was seriously ill at the orphanage. She recovered from her illness, but because of her sick past, no one would adopt her until she was ten, when her identity was exchanged to that of a healthy child. Her adoptive family treated her as Cinderella, and worst; to the point of abuse; physical and sexual. She developed a tight bond with the female helper who tutored her in the do's and don'ts of life. In the meantime she had grown into a body that won the local teen-aged girl beauty contest. That exposure gave her bit parts into movies. She did some stints in modelling ladies dresses for her designer mother when the contracted models reneged, and surprised everyone how well she did on the catwalk just by watching the professionals.
