JINX JONES
female • midi mutt • temp to hire
"I can fix this! Oops...my bad! Let me fix this!"
Jinx was born in South Dakota in December of 1992. She may be the only child, but she comes from an extended family with her closest friends growing up being her cousins. Jinx lived a nice life before moving to NYC, not interested in going to college. Because of this, Jinx struggled to find work.
Through her struggles, she became employed as a temp at Gallart, mostly as a favor to temp agency owner from Imogen. The rest is history, as Jinx was eventually assigned, sarcastically, to be Vana's personal assistant.
Don't make me choose between you and my job.
Moving to NYC was not as amazing as Jinx hoped it would be. She struggled to find work and continuously was let go from jobs for a lifestyle that left Jinx always showing up late, not prepared, and too tired to work effectively. It took a few years before Jinx put the pieces together and figured out that she needed to be better. For two years, she bounced around the city, crashing on couches and subletting rooms for a month here and a month there. Any time Jinx got a new job, life was a party and drinks were on her! After years of this, everything changed when India moved in next door.
India moved in next door and Jinx was smitten right from the start, finding it difficult to talk to the beautiful girl. One evening, during yet another celebration of Jinx getting a job, India came over to ask them to quiet down. From there, Jinx and India talked frequently. With her help, Jinx got a temp job and was hired at Gallart. The two frequently spent most of their time together, never quite officially dating...yet pretty much dating.
And One Became Two: Vana meets Jinx
With years of successes under her belt, Vana felt as if she could do no wrong. Imogen was giving her assignment after assignment and everything felt easy. That was, until Vana got cocky and slipped up, exposing herself and foiling a mission completely. When she returned home, Imogen was livid.
Coincidentally at this same time, Jinx was two months into her temp job at Gallart and bombing terribly. She arrived early for a meeting with Imogen (where she was going to be fired) and walked in on the two fighting. As an act of passive aggressive punishment, Imogen tasks Jinx to be Vana's personal assistant. Ever since then, it's been a team of two. Jinx has had to change everything about her life to keep up with Vana's demands and needs, but she's eager to prove herself.
Vana has slowly learned to accept Jinx over time, and even finds that she misses her company on a quiet evening alone.
And One Became Three: Vana meets Ewan and Crinkle
Vana spent a majority of her life with no family connections, until one day a fluffy guy named Ewan found her. He was her cousin on her mom's side and with him, came another connection in Crinkle. Suddenly, Vana found herself connected to family and felt a piece of herself click in place.
Her "new" family comes with their own issues, of course. Imogen found her way into getting Crinkle to join the business. Ewan on the other hand can't keep a job to save his life. For as nice and friendly as the guy is, he just can't get out of his own way. Vana does her best to pick up the pieces when she's in town. She does whatever she can to not let her family mix too much with her other life though. Crinkle knows a little bit, but not the full extent of what Rana does. Ewan...has no clue.
You can see the resemblance, right? Vana sure can! Seeing herself in her cousins grounded her at a point in her life when Vana was being overly reckless and her will to live was wishy-washy at best. She's renewed with this sense of family.
