Rafaela (ha-fa-EH-la) is a Brazilian capybara demi-human who lives down the block and loves to swim. When the weather is warm and the sun is out (which it is 340 days a year where she lives), you will find her in water, or nearby cooking barbecue. Whether the beach, the boardwalk, the neighborhood pool, or even just lounging in a kiddie pool in her backyard.

She's calm, harmonious, and easy-going without being a pushover. She tries to live a drama-free life, but she always wants to hear about the drama in everyone else's life.
