Enedina Arellano Félix was a Mexican accountant and narcotrafficker of the Tijuana cartel, and is often said to be the brains behind her brothers' organization.
Enedina wanted her brother Benjamín Arellano Félix to take their organization out of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo's shadow by securing their own supply of cocaine in order to sell it in the form of crack. However, all her ideas were turned down by Benjamín who didn't want to get on the wrong side of Félix Gallardo.
Enedina insisted her brother to talk to Félix Gallardo about Héctor Palma Salazar moving 30% of his cocaine using the infrastructure constructed by the Arellano Félix family. Félix imposed a tax on Sinaloan shipments through, forcing Palma to withdraw his cocaine from Tijuana. Palma covertly began moving cocaine into San Diego through a tunnel constructed by Chapo Guzmán. The DEA leaked evidence of the tunnel to the Arellano Félix family, and her brother Ramón destroyed the tunnel, nearly killing Chapo. This led to a bitter war between the Sinaloa and the Tijuana plazas. The conflict was brought to an end after Benjamín, under Enedina's advice, had veteran Sinaloan smuggler Cochiloco killed when the latter arrived in Tijuana to make amends with the brothers.
Meanwhile, Enedina and socialite Isabella Bautista started their own drug smuggling operation using female Mexican workers in the United States as drug mules. Bautista introduced her to cocaine source: Orlando Henao Montoya, the leader of the Norte del Valle cartel in Colombia. Despite their partnership being a major success, Enedina terminated the alliance saying that her loyalty would always be with her family.
After the Sylmar warehouse bust, Enedina convinced her brothers to undercut Félix Gallardo and the Guadalajara cartel by directly sourcing their cocaine from the Cali cartel. Soon, Benjamín informed that he would be leaving the Guadalajara cartel.
