Background Ana-Lucia was a Los Angeles cop whose life changed abruptly when she was shot 4 times by a perp. She was saved by her bullet-proof vest, but her unborn child was lost. After taking some time off, and spending some of that time in therapy, Ana-Lucia rejoined the force. Her mother, who is also her police captain, was skeptical, but placed Ana back on patrol per Ana's request.
As circumstance would have it, the same day that Ana-Lucia returned to the force, her fellow officers found and arrested the man who shot her. He confessed to the crime, and all that was left to do was have Ana-Lucia identify him. But she doesn't. And he goes free.
Ana-Lucia follows the perp to a bar where he is celebrating his newly-found freedom. As he leaves, she follows, and shoots him dead in a back alley. Upon identification of the body, her mother knows immediately who killed the man, and calls her daughter in to confront her. Captain Cortez offers Ana her help, but Ana-Lucia refuses, and quits the force. She finds a new job as a security officer at the Los Angeles International Airport. A job she hates.
After work one day, Ana-Lucia goes to
the airport bar, and a stranger strikes up a conversation with her.
Without giving his name, Christian Shepherd explains that he's on his
way to Australia, and needs a body-guard. Ana-Lucia, as a former cop,
fits the bill. He offers to pay her way to Sydney, and Ana, running
from everything else in her life, accepts. Once in Australia, Ana
realizes the depths of Christian's problems, and regrets leaving home.
After dragging him away from a fight with a woman in the middle of the
night, Ana's had enough, and decides to go home. She calls her mother
to tell her she's made a mistake, and she's coming home...on flight 815.
She is the leader of the Tail-section survivors. She is hard and tough, but that probably has something to do with the fact that the tail section survivors have been reduced from 23 to 5. She was tossed into the prison-pit as a ruse to try and find out who Michael, Sawyer and Jin were. She was surprised to discover that they were on a Sydney-Los Angeles plane. She asked “Flight 815?," and Michael, Sawyer and Jin were surprised to learn that she was on the plane too. When she learned that Sawyer had a gun, she questioned him about it. When he got suspicious, she hit him and took the gun, and asked to be hauled out of the hole. After discussing it with the other tail survivors, she released the raft people from the pit and took them to their base, an old and non-operational DHARMA Initiative station, "The Arrow." She decided that the tailers would go and try to find the rest of the crash survivors on the other side of the island. When Michael ran off into the jungle looking for Walt, Ana-Lucia immediately prepared to leave before the Others could find him and come for the rest of the tail survivors. Jin and Eko left to look for Michael, even though Ana-Lucia said she was not going to wait for them. She believed that Eko would catch up with them, which he did. Ana-Lucia didn't want to go inland for the sake of Sawyer. She considered him a dead man walking, but Eko insisted so she went, warning him that any more deaths or kidnappings were on his head. She also didn't like stopping while a stretcher was fabricated for Sawyer, but they waited. When Cindy vanished just after the survivors struggled to get the unconscious Sawyer up a steep hill, the whispers started. Ana-Lucia told everyone to run. In the midst of some loud whispering, Ana-Lucia shot a moving figure. It was Shannon. Realizing that she had made yet another mistake, Ana-Lucia snapped under the stress of the previous 48 days. She had Sayid tied up to give her time to think. But that meant dismantling Sawyer's stretcher, so Eko abandoned her to carry him to the fuselage camp. When Libby and Bernard wanted her to let Sayid go, Ana-Lucia made a plan - she would get supplies from the fuselage camp, and then go off into the jungle to live by herself. She sent Michael to give her demands. Libby and Bernard refused to be a part of that any longer and left her, taking Jin with them. Ana-Lucia asked Sayid if she should kill him. He told her that he is still haunted by the terrible things he's done in his life. Ana-Lucia told Sayid that once she hesitated to use her weapon and she got shot four times. She said that she feels dead. She didn't make excuses, or ask Sayid not to kill her. She didn't try and make him feel sympathy to her, she didn't run away into the jungle. She let Sayid go, gave him the weapons and told him he could kill her. Ana-Lucia took responsibility for her actions. Sayid said that there was no point in killing her since they were both already dead inside. They headed back to camp. Ana-Lucia met Jack and Eko in the jungle. She is staying on the beach and mostly keeping to herself. She didn't attend Shannon's funeral for fairly obvious reasons. After Jack encountered the Others in the jungle, he came to her and asked her how long she thought it would take to train an army. Unfortunately, Sawyer was able to use Kate's distrust of Ana-Lucia in his con to steal the weapons from the Swan's armory, effectively putting an end to Jack and Ana-Lucia's "army." After Henry Gale was caught and brought to the Swan, Locke asked Ana-Lucia to interrogate Henry as she was a cop and has experience. She was able to talk Henry into drawing a map to his balloon, and she, Sayid and Charlie found the balloon and the truth about Henry Gale. After being overpowered by Henry when she let her guard down, Ana-Lucia was able to steal a gun from Sawyer after having sex with him in the jungle. She planned to kill Henry, giving him the knife she got from one of the Others she killed and ordering him to cut himself free, but Henry told her how Goodwin thought she was misunderstood and how he believed he could change her. Ana-Lucia couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger and locked Henry back inside the armory. As she sat outside the door and contemplated things, the recently returned Michael asked her for the gun and combination to the armory, telling her that he'll shoot Henry. Ana-Lucia gave him the gun and combination, but Michael shot and killed her.
