E, nonostante le cicatrici che ne deturpano il volto, è considerata uno splendore dai Lunari, anche più della regina Levana, la sua matrigna.

La storia è il classico triangolo amoroso: lui, lei, l’altra. Solo che lui (Venâncio) e lei (Dalva) si adorano. Tanto che lui è di una gelosia omicida e, quando vede lei allattare il primo frutto del loro grande amore, strappa il figlio alla madre e lo scaraventa via, uccidendolo – o così sembra. L’altra (Lucy), per converso, è la prostituta più bella e più desiderata della città, ma non da lui, che dopo la tragedia continua a vivere con la moglie, la quale però fa come se lui non esistesse obbligandolo perciò ad andare al bordello per sfogarsi, con la prima che capita.
