CAST & CHARACTERS

Xylia

The heart of Pretty Mafia, Xylia is quiet but fierce — a young girl forced to grow up overnight after witnessing tragedy. Haunted by her mother’s death and guided by her grandmother’s strength, she becomes the emotional core of the group. Xylia learns that survival in Brooklyn isn’t just about staying alive — it’s about protecting her soul.

Unique

Sharp-tongued, stylish, and street-smart, Unique masks her pain behind attitude and ambition. Raised by a tough mother and a father entangled in danger, she walks the line between innocence and the street life that keeps calling her back. Her loyalty runs deep — but so does her temper.

Thalia

Quietly determined, Thalia is the dreamer of the crew. With immigrant parents and constant pressure to succeed, she fights to find her place between two worlds — home and the streets. Her compassion often makes her the peacemaker, but when pushed, Thalia shows a strength no one expects.

Signa

Bold, fearless, and impulsive, Signa doesn’t back down from anyone. She’s the protector of her friends and the one who hits back first when the world hits them. Beneath her hard exterior lies a girl who craves safety and love — two things the streets rarely give.

Malayna

The creative mind of the group, Malayna escapes her chaotic home life through art and imagination. She sees beauty where others see pain, documenting the girls’ lives through sketches and photos. Her sensitivity grounds the group, reminding them of who they are beyond the struggle.

Serenity

Soft-spoken but observant, Serenity is often underestimated. Living with an unstable family, she finds her voice through her friends, who become the sisters she never had. Her calm presence balances the group, but beneath it lies quiet rage and resilience.

Regina

Xylia’s mother, Regina, is a tragic figure — a woman consumed by addiction and survival. Her choices ripple through the series, shaping Xylia’s path and the show’s emotional backbone. Despite her flaws, Regina’s love for her daughter is raw and unforgettable.

Shirley

Xylia’s grandmother and the matriarchal anchor of Pretty Mafia. Strong-willed, wise, and no-nonsense, Shirley carries the weight of generations on her shoulders. She represents both the pain and pride of the community — a reminder that discipline and love can coexist.

Marcos

A street-level dealer with a ruthless streak, Marcos embodies the danger lurking around the girls’ world. His presence is a constant reminder of how fragile safety is in their neighborhood. To Xylia, he becomes the face of everything she must rise above.
