==Personality and Facts==<br />
Gabriela is a ten-year-old African American Girl. She is a dancer and poet who lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; she is an only child and lives with her parents, along with her cousin Red who is staying with them while his mom is overseas serving in the military. <br />
<br />
She has a stutter, and is using spoken word poetry to help with the situation along with speech therapy. She dances tap, hip-hop, and ballet at her community center, Liberty Arts. She loves poetry, and is very good at writing. She later becomes a member of her school's student council in ''[[Gabriela Speaks Out]]''. Gabriela often tries to work hard and impress others, though she can be insecure about her stutter. She doesn't like backing down from her beliefs, and tries to speak from the heart.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Gabriela (book)]]'', she is in fifth grade at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School; in both ''[[Gabriela Speaks Out]]'' and ''[[Gabriela: Time for Change]]'', she is in sixth grade at Kelly Middle School.<br />
<br />
Her best friend is Teagan, a computer coder, and she is also friends with Isaiah, a Shakespeare lover. She was frequently antagonized by a fellow classmate named Aaliyah, but eventually befriended her by reaching out and telling her that she liked her confidence; the two of them become co-councilors for the sixth grade at school.<br />
