Girl/She/Her(s) | 18yrs | 5'7" | 130lbs
Timeline 2 | Senior | Lesbian | FC: Vanessa Alexis
~Appearance:
Body Mods/Scars: Tattoos, pierced ears, septum, navel and hood.
Clothing Style:
It is the 80s and Michael Jackson hit the scene. Couple that with her love for the Ska band Selector, Kiki loves to wear hats, overalls, tight white halters and high-waisted, black dress slacks. And yes, black shiny shoes, white socks and big dangly earrings to accessorize. But she is a grease monkey and so she will be seen wearing coveralls of all kinds. But of course, its her acid washed (not on purpose) set she wears most. It has patches of bands, names of family members and of course, the big yellow winking happy face on it. She will normally have a bandanna tying her hair up and a cloth hanging out her back pocket. Wears steeltoes or white sneaks given the situation. Normally you'll see her with a smoke out the corner of her mouth or behind an ear. And she's not embarrassed that she just wears underwear beneath the coveralls. In fact, when she's taking a break from working at the garage, she will just unbutton to waist level and tie off the arms at her hips. Her eldest brother who runs the shop, Marlon, haaaaates it. But she's proud of her tight bod, bellybutton piercing and wicked tattoos done up by her 2nd eldest brother, Miguel.
KiKi is the loud-mouthed, yet friendly not-so-secret lesbian chick; I mean obviously, what girl willingly works on cars under the hood?! Yet it's hard to believe she so open and welcoming especially with the reputation of the Del Rios family and their criminal associations. There is a 'you love her or just hate her' polarizing view that many who don't really know her stand by. A lot of people are scared of her because her protective and scary older brothers are her brothers and others just don't like her because she is inked, pierced and open about who she is and what she's about: running with the Hellraiser Crew living fast, loose and having a hell of time doing it.
(Fun fact: the reason they took on the name: Hellraiser Crew is because they've been chased away from drinking/partying in the park and other parking lots multiple times and local news called these troublemaking kids 'Hellraisers.')~Hobbies:
~ Working on her own car - aka the 'Other Woman.' Kiki has a '66 Chevy Malibu convertible that she constantly tinkers with. Her name is Magia cuz the backseat is where it's at...!!~ Graffiti - she does tagging a bit here and there, mostly because Miguel is into it and yeah... marking territory too.~ Modelling - she does some pin up work now that she's 18. Not only does she get paid to work on cars, she works it on the cars too...!~ Modding her brothers' car - she may not partake in the street races in the driver seat but she will sure as hell help win them. Especially with her brother Monty's car, Preciosa. That muscle car's street cred is astronomical! She has been stolen several times now and sabotaged even more times.~ Jelly Bracelet Collection!! - Cuz hell yeah! Orale!!
~Personality:
+ Friendly and Welcoming | No, she is not the most popular nor well received, but she is however, genuinely friendly and outgoing. She has been raised to be such a way. Her mother always said: "Those who are proud of how they live will greet the day with a smile and invite the devil inside; the devil cannot corrupt what it cannot shame."+ Hardworking | Hey, if she loves what she is doing, you best bet she does her best at it. Even though she lets other things slide, when she is working, know that you will literally see the blood, sweat and tears pour out from her.+ Clever | Yes, she is witty and sharp-tongued but it is those thoughts outside the box that help her excel in all she does. She loves to bounce ideas off of her bestie Dee and together they come up with some strange yet remarkably sound builds for cars, especially with 3rd eldest bro, Monito's racing baby, Preciosa.+ Family-Oriented | Is there any doubt as to what family she belongs to? It is tattooed on her body afterall. She was raised by a strong female figure and that figure's sisters too. All her siblings have her back and no doubt she has theirs. She even makes it a point to help raise her baby sister to be better than she can be.+ Strong | Yes, physically she is stronger than she looks but she is also mentally tougher than her smiling face and shiny dark eyes show. She is confident in her abilities, desires and body. Yes, it does help with who her family is but regardless of that she will stand up for herself and her friends.- Talks too much | Sometimes she just does not know when to shut up. Whether it be because of lack of filter or whether it be because she has a motor mouth, KiKi just gets bouts of verbal diarrhea a little to often.- Tunnel Vision | Once she sets her mind on her mechanical work, she seems to get lost in it and things begin to fall by the wayside. Whether it be school work or relationships, it does not matter, they get neglected.- Short-Sighted| The girl lives wild and hard and as such, does not prep well for the future. She has so much money she has earned at a young age, but a lot of it is spent or wasted on trivial or messed up things.- Family-Oriented | A double edged sword. Her family is there for her, but she will always be there for them no matter the detriment. Her siblings problems are her problems and her mom's problems sadly are hers too. Aaaaaand her mom is involved with criminal activities with their uncle Ricardo.- Drinking Problem | Yes, she only drinks socially, but no, she does NOT drink in moderation. She is responsible as a driver though and will not endanger her friends and will not drive while intoxicated. But lately, she's been partying a little to hard and perhaps may or may not be sneaking around with a flask at her hip.
~Habits:
~ Hand-talker - She talks a lot and will become too comfy with others and so she will constantly touch a hand or shoulder, sometimes smack it, or invade personal space while talking.~ Smoker - of course she is. She works in a garage... Duh.~ Doodles while on the phone - hard to hand talk when you've got one had holding the phone, so she'll pick up a pen and draw on the nearest thing~ Calling random things "You little pucker!" or "that pucker-doodle' instead of whachamacallsit.
~Problem(s):
Marlon's gambling problem. Her eldest bro has borrowed waaaaaay too much money off his siblings and she's scared one day he will bet the shop and lose it. He's also invested/losing money on something else he's hiding. That and she is starting to drink a little to much too often now...
~Drive:
Yes, she is a Mama's girl and she will most likely stay in Boulder even after she graduates. But she loves her friends too. And so keeping her friends together is huge for her. Yes, she loves her car, Magia, but she will also borrow the shop van so that she can pile all her buds, aka Hellraiser Crew, in so they can go party or hang out at the ridge to enjoy the view and some booze.
~Background:
KiKi has lived in Boulder all her life. Her two eldest brothers: Marlon and Miguel are from the same father. Her third eldest brother and younger sister: Montillo and Milinda are from another father. But they all grew up together with their mother Maria-Michelle, aka EmEM as a single mother. But they never had issues with money nor enough help to take care of the 5 kids. EmEm had her 3 sisters to help out with the household. That and their brother, Ricardo aka El Guapo helped out with paying for groceries too. He had his ways of earning money. And lots of it too. Let's just say he never became his own best customer.Life in highschool actually came easy to her. Mostly because her brothers paved the way for her as a near untouchable. She may not have been the most popular nor have the most friends but the crew she ran with has pretty much stayed the same since she started here. Yes, she was only interested in what she was interested in so, shop class and actually math she excelled in. Everything else she skipped. Literally. And even though she was a natural mechanic, her academic probation held her back from participating in extracurricular activities. But that was all good with her, because it meant more time in Marlon's shop and getting paid as a model too! Cha-ching...!And then Marlon's gambling problem reared its ugly head. He started to accumulate severe debt to the point where his mother said; 'A man makes his bed and if he shits in it he either sleeps with it or he eats it. Change the bed.' She loved her son, but to EmEm this was the way of the jungle. But of course KiKi, Miggy, Monito would never let their brother drown and so they lent him out money. A lot of it. And to this day he has not paid them back and KiKi has no savings even with her modelling side work. And rumour is that Marlon may be losing the shop to pay it off even more debt that has nothing to do with gambling... or so the rumour goes.KiKi is now in her final year of highschool. Most likely she will not graduate, as much as that will disappoint her mother, both of them know that she does have a bright future as a mechanic or even a model. But little does EmEm know that her daughter's drinking problem has gotten a bit out of hand now that the relationship between KiKi and her longtime girlfriend, Veronica has been on the rocks. And KiKi has been partying a little to hard recently and has missed a shift at the shop once this week. Next two weeks there is a modelling shoot and if she knocks it out of the park, she may have a shot at a contract to pose in Las Vegas for the huge National Carshow exhibition there. Hopefully things settle down by then.

~Inter-character Relationships:
Bookworm - Jesse
Jesse - Alright so KiKi is a motormouth right? And Jesse is a great listener right? So put them together, make them friends and... oh poor Jesse. KiKi was forced to get peer tutoring for flunking out for her classes and so she was paired with Jesse. At first she's like: dude is L-7; SQUARE. And he may or may not be annoyed by her, but then as time went on as she was tutored by Jesse (didn't turn out well, she still skipped class so no fixing that) she kept blabbing away to him and she was floored by his honest responses. Good or bad, she would argue/debate back but take his responses to heart as advice. So even when the tutoring ended, she still called him up to blab at him... and surprisingly he did NOT hang up on her!
She calls him "Stitches" because when she first saw him, she commented that his sweater looked like an alley cat her brother had adopted. That and later it stuck for her because of his style of artwork. Also it is the rhyming word of what she says after she blabs at him about her problems "Ey Stitches, no snitches, right...?"
Now the other thing she's trying to get him to go to the Ridge to party with the "Hellraiser Crew". Yes, she loves blabbing away to him about partying and how he needs to climb out of his shell more, but ulterior motive to get him to go: she wants Jesse to get a sense in person, in a party scene as to what is going on with her gf Veronica. But regardless of that, she will stick up for Jesse if the others give her grief for inviting him because yeah, even though she probably annoys the hell out of him... she considers him a friend.
Party Animal - Tommy
Tommy - No, they do not run in the same circles but they still tight: High fives and hugs in the hallways, no doubt! She doesn't go to every single party he throws together (like with any good high school drama, there is always some friction between Hellraiser Crew and other cliques) but she will happily hook him up for substances should he need. And yes, she'd have to get him to go do the transaction because Tio Ricardo's iron fisted ruling!! Okay so even though it does bother him that she ghosts when invited to parties with certain types there, he's still sweet about it. For example, there are those times when she kidnaps him and shoves him in the van when they head on out to the ridge too for a smaller yet just as lit scene. He still makes sure he and everyone around him has a good time.
KiKi calls him 'Cheshire' like the cat because he's always smiling. That and Alice in Wonderland drug references and all...
She always gives him a sly look and says: 'Man, if I was into dudes...' whenever he let's her know about a party. She just thinks it's a cute thing to say and he sees it as harmless. And if it reeeeally does offend him, she'll stop if he says so. He's found her cruisin' a bathtub or two and talked her down already. But then there are those times he just calls her cringey pet names... she has to correct him. Again. Instead, he should be saying: "Si, mi Reina.''Yes, my Queen...'" But other than that, she actually and truly looks out for him since he is such a one-of-a-kind great guy. Each time she sees him care for another human being gives her a bit more faith in humanity.
Trouble Maker- Kai
Kai -Yeah this is a case of KiKi liking someone more than they like her. Yet again. She calls Kai her 'Avecita,' her little chickadee, for the most part, but also changes it up with a second part to it too. When she sings nicely, she thinks of Kai as; Ave Cantora. Songbird. But when Kai plays her punk music, she thinks of Kai as Ave Ruidosa: Noisybird. For the most part they do get along: bumming cigarettes off each other in the smoke pit at school, trading/lending out spray cans if they see each other doing graffiti, inviting her to the Del Rios shop to have work done on her bro's bike.
They're not close by any stretch of the imagination; Kai is younger grade, quiet and pretty standoffish. KiKi is just opposite that. But one thing they do have in common is the love for parties. KiKi would love to kidnap Kai and take her to the ridge to party but it seems like Kai is more of the spur of the moment crashing the party type. KiKi does not get the punk scene, she's more of a ska/reggae/latin vibe girl who is swept up by Michael Jackson, but she would definitely check out the concerts especially for the afterparty is she's allowed.
Computer Geek - Amber
Amber - Yeah, she's seen the redhead rollerskate around but her ears perked up when Keaton mentioned that she too takes apart engines. Another chica who gets under the hood wut? They just had to meet! ...buuuuuut it is as oil and water goes; Kiki and Amber would not mix well. KiKi is not the quiet reserved type and the only thing loud and boisterous about Amber is her checkered outfits... well, that and when she just haaaaas to correct people because Amber. Argh. But if El Gatico says she cool, man, entonces ella es buena onda...
Trouble Maker - Jace
Jace - She knows of him, yeah, but she just shrugs if anyone asks her if she does know him. First off, she sees him as jock material. Basketball? Boooooo...! Second, he's in a younger grade barely older than her little sis. And Third, rumours are rumours but Jace's rep is a backstabber... Hell naw...! You just can't do that around KiKi, she tries to keep people together. But okay, so yeah he does deal so there's that. Still when asked about 'Jace' she has no idea. Cuz in her head she knows him as "Poff. "When she was a little kid she always thought that was the name of La Comadreja. "Poff goes the Weasel."
Computer Geek - Hal - TBD: mmmmkay thinking KiKi and Hal aren't from the same social scene nor do I think they would interact? But like maybe they have Math class together so at least they'd know who each other are? I mean like other than shop class this is one class that KiKi actually shows up for consistently lol
Motorhead - KeatonKeaton - This is her Hellraiser amigo right here, man! She calls him "Gatico" because when they first met she thought he said his name was "Kitten." They kick it off great. Their younger siblings get along great, even though the Del Rios boys make it known that they are keeping an eye out for the both baby girls of the family. But other than that, regardless of both families shady dealings, they've both know about each other for a while. In fact, they have gotten closer since Gatico's daddy hit the clink.
So yeah, they've been friends since even before the Del Rios moved out of the 'hood. He's more robots and video games and she's more pretty cars and modelling but they gel regardless... well that is they gel until they hit the dragstrip. Then it is trashtalking smacktown. Put your damn money where your damn mouth is, boy!! But KiKi doesn't take it personally but she is in her bro Monito's corner since she works on his car and her bud Keaton is just a stray kitten to her. Kick it to the curb!
Every so often she will sneak into the shop and 'borrow' her eldest brother's van and go collect everyone to party out on the ridge. These would be all the local Hellraiser Crew homies: all the detention kids, juvies, losers and outsiders. Underage drinking and smoking? Ummm yup. And she knows dealers but they won't sell to her b/c she is the niece of a major drugtrafficker in Boulder (her uncle has this 'we will never be our own best customer' honour thingie). So yes, she gets Keaton or others to buy it for them.
Jock - LeviLevi - Honestly, KiKi hates sports and jocks. She does a drive by booing and honking at the football field when she has the chance... you know that jocks and cheerleaders rule the social hierarchy in highschool, right? Even though KiKi is quite friendly and welcoming, she is from the 'wrong side of the tracks' and has already identified rich, pretty and popular people as the enemy. And the enemy is getting too close for comfort.
Yes, Veronica is the highschool photographer so yeah... jocks doing jock things and cheerleaders doing pretty things are great photo ops, but KiKi has been seeing her and Levi talking a lot more lately and is starting to think that there is something going on between them. KiKi has been suspecting something is up with her gf; Veronica has been less affectionate and aloof more recently and she thinks that Veronica is cheating on her with Señior Tiña Inguina over there./COLOR]
Okay so KiKi's girlfriend (Veronica) is struggling with her sexuality like Levi and has defo NOT come out of the closet to her folks. This is the major source of KiKi's drinking problem; she thinks her gf is cheating on her since Veronica is becoming more and more unaffectionate and aloof... but dammit that's not really it at all. Veronica is making a decision and may choose her conservative family over her open and bold gf KiKi and break it off with her.
Veronica has confided in Levi about NOT coming out to her folks and how she too struggles with being gay. He knows the hidden truth about why Veronica is acting the way she does around KiKi recently. And so the pair have become close but NOT like that. They know each other’s secret but he still doesn’t really interact with l KiKi because he knows she doesn’t like him and he doesn't wanna make her uncomfortable. But this just leads to her hating him more for ignoring her.
