Oscar is the epitome of nerdiness: overweight, funny bushy hair, obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, into role playing games.  Coincidentally, he is the polar opposite of what Dominican man should be.  He can't dance and he hasn't had a real girlfriend since the age of seven, and consequently becomes infatuated with every girl he ever sees, desperate to find someone who will reciprocate his love.  His sister, Lola, is a bit of wild child.  She's had many boyfriends, ran away from home, and run with a bad crowd, although she has been trying to clean up her life.  Lola loves her brother Oscar more than anything else in the world.  They are the product of their upbringing by a mother who has led a difficult life herself.  Beli was orphaned at a young age and abused by distant relatives until being rescued by her father's cousin, who goes by the name La Inca.  La Inca, who feels great remorse over not helping her cousin when the dictatorship turned against him, tried her best with Beli, and later does everything in her power to help Lola and Oscar with their respective troubles.
