Read more about Josie Reyes
Mexican-American, raised in her dad's auto shop on LA's East Side, where at twelve she could rebuild a carburetor with her eyes closed. Black curls pulled into a high ponytail with the sides shaved short, dark brown eyes, full sleeve tattoos on both arms, and usually a smear of motor oil on her face. She always has a lollipop in her mouth while she works.
Personality. Rough around the edges, blunt, and a joker with no filter, though she’s more attentive than anyone. She has more patience for cars than for people; once she picks a driver, she’ll tighten every bolt to perfection. She can’t stand pretenders and mixes Spanish and English when arguing. When jealous, she slams her wrench down loudly on purpose. Her speech is streetwise, and she never calls people by their full names.
