8. Ylona Garcia

Despite her pretty face, Ylona faced bullying tons of times when she was a kid. She was being bullied because of being morena, and because of those discrimination, she experienced being desperate and cry for hours in her room because her efforts to whiten up her skin is not paying off. But as soon as she realized who she really is, Ylona started to love herself and embrace her skin color. She then understand that her skin color makes up who she is.
