Narcilina "Narci" Aracely Montoya is a fictional supporting character appearing in comic books published by Azteca Productions. Created by Richard Dominguez, the character made her first appearance in El Gato Negro #1 (October 1993).
Daughter to José Villar Uribe Montoya, the Minister of Finance at the Banco de la Republica de Colombia in Bogotá, Narcilina was born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth. Wanting to help those less fortunate than herself, she studied to become a lawyer, eventually graduating from Harvard Law. She currently works as an attorney in her new home of Edinburg, Texas. Since her introduction, Narcilina has been the primary romantic interest of Francisco Guerrero, the modern-day El Gato Negro.[1]
Fictional character history
Originally from Colombia, Narcilina was raised in a life of wealth and privilege. The one-time Miss Colombia wanted to pursue a more meaningful purpose in life, Narcilina dedicated her life to helping others. She began her law studies at the University of Bogotá, where she met exchange student Armando Ochoa. Establishing a romantic relationship, the two later studied at Harvard Law. After completing law school, the couple lost contact with one another and Narcilina moved to Texas, where her work would bring her close to social worker Francisco Guerrero.
In the "Unknown Passing, Unforgettable Return" story-arc from El Gato Negro #1-3, Narcilina's former flame returned as the criminal El Graduado. Armando had planned to replace his father as drug lord of South Texas by earning a seat in the criminal syndicate known as The Annulus. Failing to make a promised drug-trafficking deal after the interference of El Gato Negro, Armando was fearful of his own incarceration and attempted to bribe Narcilina to become both his attorney and future wife. Angrily denying both of his requests, Ochoa and took her hostage along with local produce magnate Agustin Guerrero. Fortunately, El Gato Negro and the Texas Rangers arrived in time to apprehend the criminal. In the ongoing "Legacy" storyline from El Gato Negro: Nocturnal Warrior #1-4 El Graduado is released from police custody and is assassinating rival mob bosses who refuse to join the Ochoa crime family. It is still unknown how this may affect Narcilina.
