dulce lives up to her name, being the sweetest of her sisters. she has an endearing disposition and has rarely failed to charm others. her sweetness, however, is only a facade to appear lovely in front of other people. in actuality she is very sly and cunning, especially when she comes with an agenda. in addition to this, she's very clever & intelligent, and has the ability to see through people's lies.PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
of all the four sisters, dulce is the one who looks least european, and takes after her mother in looks. nevertheless, she's as pretty as the rest of her sisters, having attracted many boys with her beauty. she has wavy ebony hair, brown eyes, and a fair complexion.BACKGROUND INFO
dulce was born at home in forbes park, makati, due to her family still being quarantined at the time. she's the third daughter of simon zobel de ayala & victorina villaluna, and a member of the aristocratic zobel de ayala family. through her father's side, she has spanish, german, and colombian ancestry.from nursery up til college, she was schooled in de la salle university along with her younger sister, valentia, while the two eldest were educated in ateneo de manila (their father was lasallian and their mother atenean). dulce is also quite well-known even outside of the philippines, seeing as she has dated a few privileged boys, including the famous alek plisetsky.
