Amalia Rivera

Amalia Miranda Rivera is Nicholás' and Héctor's younger sister and the daughter of Theresa and Diego Rivera (not the famous artist). Amalia entered a fight with Héctor when he left to play for the world with Ernesto and saying he was selfish for leaving his wife and daughter behind. When her brother did not return, Amalia began to get sick. Imelda could not help her as she lost the will to live. Imelda kept Amalia's picture on the ofrenda but told her daughter and descendants that Amalia was a cousin of hers.

When Amalia arrived in the Land of the Dead, Héctor apologized to not listening to her, but she remained forever estranged. She also was scared of facing Imelda and her other family in fear that Imelda hated her for not getting Héctor to come back home.

When Miguel is separated from his family, Amalia rescues the boy but doesn't reveal she is a Rivera.

Relationships
Amalia has a strained relationship with her older brother, Hector after a major fight and she hardly ever talked to her brother, Nicholas or her sister-in-law Imelda.

Amalia thought that Imelda wouldn't forgive her either.
