Peña The Enemy Within
Peña appeared as Anna Cruz, a junior CIA analyst who works as a mole for Tal in the American drama television series The Enemy Within. A recurrent antagonist from NBC’s first season of The Enemy Within was named Anna Cruz. Identified in the pilot episode as one of three victims of infamous terrorist Mikhail Tal, Anna Cruz worked as a financial analyst for the CIA. It is thought that Tal killed her to stop them from looking into his money and the stock market explosion. But by the middle of the episode, it was clear that Anna was truly alive and being held captive by Victor Nemec, one of Tal’s allies. FBI agent Will Keaton then spearheaded the effort to free Anna. The expedition was made possible with assistance from Erica Shepherd, a former CIA Director of Operations who was found guilty of treason for providing Tal with the identities of CIA agents operating against him. Tal had threatened to kill Erica’s daughter Hannah.
Traitors like Anna, who at first thanked Will for saving him, turned out to be a mole for Tal. To conceal her role, she seemed to be upset and lied about his plan. When Anna discovered that Victor was a captive, she used a wire to kill him, giving the impression that he had committed himself. Anna continued manipulating Will in “The Ambassador’s Wife” and “Confessions,” causing confrontation with Erica, who suspected her of being a mole for Tal. After Anna discovered Tal’s files, Will accused Erica of reading the documents. Erica, however, disclosed that Anna had deceived her into disclosing her involvement in “Havana.”

In 24: Legacy, Peña portrayed Mariana Stiles. Mariana is the cousin of the late Edgar Stiles and a gifted self-taught computer analyst at CTU. On Day 10, Mariana Stiles worked as an intelligence agent at CTU National Headquarters.
Edgar Stiles, a CTU Los Angeles analyst who was killed in action during a nerve gas attack on the facility, was Mariana’s cousin.

Two weeks prior to Day 10, she was appointed to replace Bashir at CTU’s National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. She attended Brooklyn College. Keith Mullins, the new director, hired her.
On Day 10, Mariana confronted Andy over his disparaging remarks to Rebecca Ingram concerning her credentials. She went up to Andy later and told him that Ingram was using CTU’s network without authorization. While covertly assisting Ingram in locating Ben Grimes, Andy attempted to calm her concerns; however, she promptly informed Director Mullins about the event.
Mariana informed Agent Locke an hour later that she had been looking for Mullins for 45 minutes without success. Locke learned that Rebecca Ingram had rendered him unable so she could operate an illicit business out of CTU.
