Youngest of nine and the only girl in a house full of rowdy brothers, Conny grew up dodging pranks, throwing punches when needed, and knowing at least one sibling would always have her back. Her Spanish parents fled Franco’s regime for a better life in America; her father’s grit turned a construction job into his own company, moving the family to an upscale Los Diego neighborhood with good schools.

​

That’s where Conny met Helkena Mo in elementary school — two kids who clicked instantly and have been inseparable ever since. Conny brings the grounded chaos; Helkena brings the genius spark. They tease, challenge, and protect each other with a shared secret language and unbreakable loyalty.

​

Now working in accounting at the same mega-corporation as Helkena, Conny balances numbers with the same toughness she honed surviving eight brothers. Fiercely protective, quick with a laugh, and never one to back down, she’s the friend who’ll show up at 3 a.m. with snacks, sarcasm, and a baseball bat if needed.
