Ms. Alvarez

Amelia Alvarez, known to her students simply as Ms. Alvarez, is an English teacher at Mangrove Cove High School.

Personality
Ms. Alvarez is somewhat inept as a teacher, since she tends to go off on tangents about her personal life quite frequently, especially about her husband and kids. She is 36 years old as of Book 1, and has been married for eight years with two children, aged five and three. Her life has been fairly interesting, judging from her inane anecdotes: she was born in Colombia but studied in the US and married a Mexican-American man, had a French boyfriend at one time, and has visited Russia, India, and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. She is talkative and kind of selfish.

Appearance
Ms. Alvarez is of Hispanic descent with tan skin, black hair tied into a ponytail, and brown eyes. She is usually seen wearing a puffy-sleeved blouse with a pencil skirt and black heels.

Trivia

 * Her name is a bit ironic, since she is an English teacher but does not come from an English-speaking country.
