Zoe Muntaner
If getting in trouble was a lifestyle, this girl definitely is living large. Despite her best effort and intentions it seems to follow or anticipate her steps. From what she says, how she says it to her innate notion of what is fair in a free society "like ours", from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles and now New York to the travels in-between there is always a story in her life. No wonder she has landed in the borough with the most stories of all! In her free time, she sleeps.... alone.... just to stay out of trouble.
