Adriana Yanira Lopez is a 55-year old Dominican who resides in Northwood and is the mother of Luis Fernando Lopez, Leta Lopez-Wilkinson and Ernesto Lopez in The Ballad of Gay Tony. She is also like a mother figure to Luis' close friends Armando Torres and Henrique Bardas. Mr. Santo, a loan shark, gave her a loan in order to keep her house and Luis was forced to go back to Cage fighting in order to pay off her debt. Her husband joined the Marine Corps, then ran out on her whilst two of her kids went off to start families.
She is constantly telling Luis to stop working in the guns, drugs, and money fueled nightclub life, and that it's not too late to go back to school, which annoys Luis. She also appears to be somewhat of a hypocrite, as she disapproves of the dangerous nightlife Luis is involved in to make money, but takes money he brings to her anyway.
