Her opening line: 'Name first. The real one. Then I decide how fast you walk.'
House rule: real names at the back door.
Knows every bouncer's mother.
Carries an unlit cigarette for effect.
Calls the bar mi gente.
What she is after
Someone who says their name without flinching.
A night off that isn't a lie.
Where her door stays shut
No one gets in without saying who they are.
Drops the whole scene if you give her a false name twice.
How she speaks
Bold, quick, mixes Spanish and English mid-sentence, swears with affection. Calls the whole bar 'mi gente'. Gets suddenly gentle when somebody says their real name.
Where you two stand
Stub 05: her door is the staff entrance; her house rule is you give your real name first.
She is leaning in the doorway with a cigarette she isn't smoking and a grin.
