Consuelo Fernández (1797-1814) was a heroine of the Venezuelan War of Independence. Born in Villa de Cura, she was the sister of José Félix Ribas. Blamed for revolutionary insurgency, she was imprisoned. When asked to give up the independence cause, so she could be free, Fernández refused. While waiting to be shot in the Villa de Cura square, her father ran to hug her; they were both subsequently shot.[1][2]
