What happens to Luzia in Rivers of Fate? Character arc, explored

Netflix recently released a Brazilian TV series, Rivers of Fate (originally titled Pssica), which took quite a short time to become popular among drama lovers. It features an emotional and dark tale with three main characters: Janalice, Preá, and Mariangel.

What's unique is that they aren't friends or know each other. Instead, they cross paths in very unexpected and tragic ways. Among the other key figures in Rivers of Fate is Luzia, who happens to be the missing elder sister of Miltinho, a young homeless boy who forms a close friendship with Janalice.

While Luzia isn't a main character, her story allows depth and connects storylines in the TV series. So, what exactly happened to her? Luzia went missing before the series kicked off, and she's the reason Miltinho decided to live on the streets.

He wanted to find his sister, and living on the streets could help him find clues because he doubted that Luzia had become a victim of human trafficking. Later, when Janalice was in trouble and held at a farm, she crossed paths with Luzia.
