In Lagoa da Italianinha, it's often said that sisters Wéllia and Maria Luísa, better known as Malu, are identical only in appearance, but different in behavior.
Daughters of the devout Selma and granddaughters of the Italian immigrant Arthur, who arrived in Pernambuco at just one year old while his parents Jadiael and Lanie fled fascism, Wéllia and Malu stand out for the great antagonism between them.
They have different professions. While Wéllia is a successful advertising executive, Malu is a veterinarian, and very dedicated to animal welfare.
Wéllia has a daughter named Alice, with whom she has conflicts, since Alice's personality is much more like that of her aunt Malu.
In terms of character, Wéllia and Malu are also different: Wéllia is unpleasant, disliked in the city, and very dangerous. Some don't break advertising ties with her because Wéllia knows the "dirty secrets" of some merchants, and uses this to keep them tied to her agency. Furthermore, Wéllia hates Malu, harboring hatred for the poor and even animals.
Malu, on the other hand, is very humble, loving, and kind. Unpretentious, she enjoys nature, and as mentioned above, loves animals.
The two also have a much bigger conflict, especially because of three specific people: Valdenes, Rita de Cássia, and Vinícius. Valdenes was homeless and loved Wéllia in his adolescence, but she cruelly humiliated him, and nowadays, Valdenes often teams up with Malu to thwart Wéllia's plans. Rita de Cássia, who lives on the streets and has the mind of a child, is mistreated by Wéllia and protected by Malu. Vinicius is the most serious case, because he's dating Malu, but he used to date Wéllia, and she wants him back.
