Well, of course you would vote for you little co-worker!! 😃 She got 36 out of 63, while I expected her to be at the last places. Funny thing is she got an exact even split: 53W 53L!!! So, except for you, other people voted for her against some hot mechanic babe> Good!

Loving the focused, serious and somewhat grumpy expression. Your characters often have so much personality and attitude to them!

I voted for you! I recognized Xenya immediately! and then of course was your line description.

Better not disturb her, or she'll use that heavy wrench on your head!

They were probably afraid of getting kicked if they didn't vote for her.

panos

Thank you very much! Well, I take care to provide elements of their personalities.
