a dependent + private writing blog for luciana del bosque, affiliated with onecoronado, as written by meg.
full name: luciana del bosque, née arrazola. nicknames: none if you want to remain on her good side. rafael will sometimes be able to get away with one, but only sometimes. age: fifty-nine. born: 5 november (making her a scorpio). occupation: director of the del bosque arts foundation. hometown + residence: coronado on both counts. identity: female, she/her, heterosexual (?). height: 5'9", never seen without a pair of heels that give her several extra inches. affiliation: del bosque. inspirations: peggy guggenheim, catherine de medici (reign), miranda priestly (dwp), madeline usher (tfothou), more tba. aesthetics: the perfectly manicured nails of an iron grip, pristine smiles and perfumed barbs, and the staggering weight of a legacy left squarely on your shoulders.
INFO:
she may not have been born into the sphere of power and influence that she currently occupies, but she certainly is not going to let it crumble to the ground anytime soon–not on her watch.
though she has not been an arrazola since her very early twenties, theirs is still a legacy that she keeps lit in her heart—among the wealthiest in coronado, they operate one of the most elite businesses on the island, and have done for decades, building it up from the modest boutique it once was many (many) moons ago.
the current matriarch of the del bosque family, she funds experimental artists and unconventional projects. her galleries display works that challenge traditional tastes. she hosts exhibitions mixing established masters with unknown creators, forcing old money to notice new ideas.
luciana watches her husband’s dismantling of their family legacy with swelling horror. each calculated retreat of rafael's represents the betrayal of eight generations, the work that his family so painstakingly made.
while maintaining the same public façade of perfection that they have always adopted, behind the scenes she exerts power in the one domain that is entirely under her control; the cultural institutions throughout coronado. she promotes controversial artists and art forms; these provocative exhibitions and funding decisions hide a methodical campaign to maintain and exert del bosque influence through more alternative channels.
the dinner parties she throws are intended to gather traditionalist family members and like-minded allies, planning counter-strategies against rafael’s reforms.
