welcome to marina, KYLE RIVERA ( cisfemale, she/her ) ! they are a THIRTY-ONE year old WITCH who resides in TOWER HILL. They work as a STRIPPER AT PINK PARADISE STRIP CLUB and are said to look a lot like MELISSA BARRERA. People around the island find them to be RESOURCEFUL and CHARMING, but also VINDICTIVE and EVASIVE. what do you think?

kyle and her two siblings were raised by a single mom after their father left them when kyle was ten. she did her best, but was rarely present given her hours working as a nurse.

magic was present in every aspect of kyle's life. her mother tried to instill responsibility in her daughter when it came to witchcraft, but kyle has always been a bit reckless when it came to her craft. she doesn't see the arm of using it for her own gain when the need arises and she often resents her mother for not doing it more often.

the three siblings started getting jobs as early as they could to help out and, in kyle's case, schoolwork suffered. she eventually ended up dropping out and got a job at pink paradise as a stripper as soon as she turned twenty-one. the tips were great and she was finally able to pitch in at home substantially. of course, her mother still thinks she gets the big tips from waitressing, but kyle figures what she doesn't know can't hurt her.

the biggest help she gave her mother, however, came in the form of helping her two younger siblings make it through school and to college. in many ways, kyle sacrificed her own future so her siblings could have one.

she's not unhappy with the way her life is going, but she's certainly a little bit lost. she covers it well with her free-spirited persona, and her love of partying and exploring, but she does wonder how long she'll be able to give lap dances at the pink paradise.

"Okay, okay, so give me an idea if mine are really so tragic." Benito asked, putting down his pen and staring at the empty list before him. He didn't normally care to work through what happens at the strip club. His manager and event organizers usually did the work before he could even think to, but for the sake of playing a part he invited the other out for drinks while the place was closed. "Anything but a masquerade, please. That's overly done, and honestly just a pain for security reasons." Benny bit the pen in his hand, before tapping it on the table. "Playboy Bunny? Disco?"

[riveraky]

"Playboy bunny? Doesn't get more cliché than that," Kyle said with a scoff, mostly because she hated the thought of herself in a fucking bunny costume. "How about an event where we all keep our clothes on? Now, that would be original. It's all about what's underneath the clothes. Sometimes a little mystery is even more arousing than us walking around with our tits out." @demidevildiva

"You know I can't fix it without knowing details?" Javier leans against the counter, keeping his gaze solely on her. He waits a few seconds before pulling his gaze away from her, drifting it to his computer screen. "It's going to be a two hour wiating period."

[riveraky]

"What do the details change? You have eyes, you can see what needs to be fixed," Kyle said stubbornly, glaring at him from across the room. She scolded herself for not bringing the car to the next town over. "Two hours? You've got to be kidding me. I'm just supposed to sit here for that long?" @oculiaperticlausi

"Listen, not trying to make any waves here, but your bartender tonight kinda... sucks," Kyle said playfully, just poking a little fun at the rivalry between their two workplaces. "I happen to know a way better one and she just so happens to have some free time lately."

javier's auto and body shop — open

Walking around the car, the mechanic exhales as he raises his hand up toward his face. He runs it down his jawline, raising his eyes up to the person in front of him. "What the fuck did you do to this thing?"

[riveraky]

"None of your fucking business," Kyle spat back, arms crossed over her chest as she stared at Javier with what could only be described as pure, unadulterated loathing. The truth was, she was a shitty driver and had backed up in a concrete block, but Javi didn't need to know that. "I just need it fixed. Quickly." @oculiaperticlausi

Juno stood on the side with the sheets of music in her hand. Having had already offered a smile she didn't know how else to respond so she nodded her head in acknowledgement instead. "What, not a fan of putting little numbers on papers?" she asked incredulously with a raised brow, "I swear it's like the most therapeutic thing you could do. Until the numbers begin writing themselves. Then you've fallen into a delusion." She pulled her phone out to begin ordering them a pizza.

[riveraky]

"Yeah, let's just say you can't hold me accountable if I skip or repeat one," Kyle replied with a chuckle, grabbing some music sheets herself and sitting down to get started. Tedious tasks were not her cup of tea and she could already feel herself zoning out as she wrote a little one in the first corner. "Falling into delusion does sound like exactly what might happen here. Excited for pizza, though!"

"Thank you for helping me move all the instruments, or whatever." Juno said, pressing her lips in what she could only hope looked like an okay smile. "You didn't have too." The help did however make it easier on her the later that it got. She would have spent a good two hours just moving them alone on her own. She didn't always mind it normally which is how she always ended up as the last to leave practice, but for some reason tonight she couldn't stand the deafening silence. "All that's really left is organizing and numbering the music. I'll order us some pizza if you wanna stay a little longer."

[riveraky]

"I didn't, but I wanted to. It looked like a two-person job, so I took pity on you," Kyle said with a chuckle, arranging the last instrument left to put away. It also felt good to have something to do that wasn't bleak and slightly terrifying. "How could I say no to pizza? Even if it does involve the two most boring tasks I've ever of." @demidevildiva
