Barrio Luminaria is a protective spirit who lives in a tiny deserted church he is currently refurbishing as his home. He makes a good living as a male model, but his neighbors just believe he sustains himself by doing odd jobs in the city because they see him routinely taking the bus into town for a few hours at a time. He watches over the deserving people of his neighborhood, always showing up quite innocently at the perfect time whenever they're in need.
