KJ met her on the first day she volunteered to work at the Burger Shot. While he initially was trying to set her up with Bike Guy, there has been a noticeable amount of tension between the two of them developing. While she knows that he is part of the Vagos gang she is in the dark about the specifics of his position and responsibilities. She has shared a bit about her past with him when the two went skydiving together. After a bit of flirting and prodding from the people around them (Raymond and Cece) the pair officially began dating exclusively.

 First Meeting at BS (May 6, 2021)
The first time they formally meet, Mina is volunteering at the Burger Shot alongside Jimmy. Uncertain, but curious, about their relationship, KJ asks Mina if Jimmy is her boyfriend. This results in Mina awkwardly denying any romantic connection with Jimmy. However, KJ misinterprets her behavior, and he pulls Jimmy aside to tell him Mina likes him. 
Before their talk can go any further, Mina interrupts them to give Jimmy her work receipts. Again KJ observes them closely, openly teasing while roping Kyle into joining him in his blatant staring.
They end up working another shift together, at the main location, Mina diligently assisting KJ. As the shift comes to an end, he walks Mina through the closing procedures, offering to drive her to Dean’s World after.
The subject of Jimmy is raised again. KJ tries his hand at playing matchmaker, telling Mina that Jimmy is into her. Though she again adamantly denies even the slightest possibility. While she seems certain on the matter, KJ compliments her, honestly telling her that she is a “good-looking woman”.
KJ experiences her capacity for kindness first hand when she offers him her work receipts, showing her desire for friendship rather than money. Unable to simply take the receipts, as she worked hard for them, he insists on buying them. Mina reiterates that she could care less about the money, the amount he gives her not mattering much, and that she is just happy to help.
After the night shift, KJ tries yet again to push Mina and Jimmy together, suggesting she ask the man if he needs a ride to the main Burger Shot location. He ends up leaving them at Dean’s World, forcing them to head back together.
 Skydiving to the Barrio (May 7, 2021)
Benny instructs KJ to make a quick stop by Pillbox before making their way to the airport for a skydiving trip.
 So who are we picking up at the...?
Mina.
Oohhh, Mina
Chino questions KJ about the way he responds to learning Mina is the person they will be picking up, though KJ simply brushes it off.
The truck pulls up at the entrance of the hospital while Mina is speaking with Dr. Blake. KJ and Jimmy rush in, telling her to come with them. She is visibly confused by the other Burger Shot employees squeezing into the truck bed.
Mina is stunned by the turn of events, uncertain about what they have planned, though drawing the conclusion they might not be going to rob houses as she initially thought.
 Oh, KJ's not single?
Yeah, I'm single. I'm single.
On the drive to the airport, Kiki poses a question to the guys in the group about their relationship status. Kitty calls KJ about and he announces that he is in fact single.
At the airport, Mina approaches KJ with questions about what they will be doing, still uncertain as the details were left unexplained to her. He explains they will be jumping from a helicopter. 
When they are instructed to group up for the first jump KJ asks Kitty who she will be jumping with. Though she offers him a spot in her group with Ash, KJ turns his attention toward Mina and Benny. 
 Who are you guys going with?
I--I don't have a pair. I was just going to go with whoever remains.
Let's f-- go.
KJ groups with Mina and Benny in an effort to avoid jumping with an overly eager Kiki. He admits to them that he's scared and Mina tries to help by framing the experience in a fun way.
They fall into a conversation, after the jump, about her quest for her missing bike, which resulted in her jumping off a few building and winding up in the hospital, where she received free surgery from Dr. Blake.
 So what do you actually do, Mina? Like--I see you helping out at the Burger Shot, but yeah, what else do you do? Do you like--help out people or like--what's your thing?
KJ wonders if people are as equally nice to her as she is to them, or if they are simply using her. Mina maintains a positive outlook, choosing to see the best in people and their intentions.
 I can be honest with you, you know. I'm not a nice person, you know?
No way!
Mina refuses to believe that he isn't a nice person, though he insists that everyone has a dark side. She opens up that she has already run into a few dangerous people in Los Santos, which is why Benny invited her along.
He warns her to be careful, that people can change persona, like the Burger Shot employees outside of work.
Curious, KJ tries to learn more about her story, questioning her about her hopes and dreams. She shares her interest in art, though it doesn't support her financially. She closes herself off to any discussion about her life before Los Santos when he asks, something KJ points out should be faced head on.
 You know, like you met me, like you know who I am. Like, one part of me is Burger Shot security. Other part of me--I'm a part of a gang in the Southside. 
He opens up about how the Vagos are family to him, something that visibly strikes a nerve for Mina, who reveals she has no living family of her own.
 Having a family sounds really wonderful...
As Mina begins to cry at his words of comfort--that the Burger Shot could be a family for her--he offers her his shoulder.
KJ gives her his number in case anything happens, telling her to call him. He encourages her to face the pain of her past, though he doesn't know the details, and notes that to move on she must overcome it.
 If you smile to the world, the world smiles back.
The talk effects them both unexpectedly, KJ becoming more curious about Mina. He questions Benny about how well he knows her before being interrupted by Scruffy. 
They discuss how she has been volunteering at the Burger Shot lately. Benny and Scruffy complete her work ethic, though KJ points out it seems her motivation isn't the money.
 She's so nice to everybody. I think it would be gucci to, you know, show her that people are nice back to her, you know? Show her some love.
Still curious about the new girl, KJ brings up the talk he had with Mina. He reveals that she opened up a bit about her past before suddenly becoming sad at the topic of family. Kitty suggests giving her a hug as that always help and he admits he already did.
He notes that Mina worked the entire day at the Burger Shot as a volunteer, even giving away her receipts to the other employees, showing her desire to simply be nice to people. 
During preparation for the final jump, KJ is given a parachute and Kitty explains to him it should be shared between two people, the tandem jump to the Barrio.
He cheekily suggests Kitty jump with Ash before approaching Mina, who is standing by herself as everyone else is pairing up.
 Hey, Mina! You wanna go tandem?
Oh, sure. With--with who?
With me...
Not wanting to make her uncomfortable, KJ clarifies that she doesn't have to tandem with him if she doesn't want to. Mina expresses her belief in him, commenting that if she jumps with him he won't drop her.
The jump over the Barrio is a moment the touches Mina deeply, taking in the sights of the lights across the city while they both sing to themselves. 
 Oh my god, KJ. This is beautiful.
Their parachute unfortunately snags on a palm tree, sending them free falling to the ground. KJ somehow manages to break Mina's fall, just as she mentioned he would, incapacitating himself.
Mina can only laugh at how the situation turned out, and she does her best to carry KJ back to the Barrio where the rest of the Burger Shot employees are waiting for them.
Kitty and Ash tease him about losing against a tree, though he declares proudly that he saved Mina. Chino joins in on the teasing.
 I still saved the girl. I'm still gucci.
Leo asks KJ about what happened before briefly being introduced to Mina. After the ambulance takes him away, Leo lends Mina keys to a car to pick up KJ and Jimmy, who was also incapacitated during the jump.

 Robbery at the BS (May 11, 2021)
Mina is left to work alongside Bobby when three homeless men, armed with hammers, enter through the unlocked door and rob her. 
Bench Guy jumps into action, drawing his gun and incapacitating them before the police even arrive.
Obviously distressed by the incident, Mina tries phoning multiple people for help, including KJ, who is busy dealing with Leo. 
 I can't talk now.
A masked man later kidnaps Mina, robbing her for the second time that day before leaving her stranded at the airport to find her way back.
Devon accompanies Mina to MRPD where she speaks with a dispatcher about her most recent kidnapping and robbery. She crosses paths with KJ, who is looking for Benji.
 What's gucci, Mina?
She finally reaches the tipping point when he greets her casually, snapping back about the day she has just gone through, including two robberies and a successful kidnapping.
When she reveals that the first robbery occurred in the back of the Burger Shot while she was working, KJ is not surprised. He comments that the issue is that people aren't locking the doors behind themselves, which is how her three assailants gained access. 
 I'm sorry I yelled at you.
After a talk with the boys about Leo, KJ take a moment to call Mina. She immediately apologizes for yelling at him, though he shows understanding for her feelings dealing with that situation.
 You needed someone to yell at. I can be the one.
 
KJ brings up that her kidnapper might not have been targeting her, and instead mistaken her for 
Ash, the two sharing some resemblance. He even questions Ash about it, though she is equally confused by the situation.
He apologizes to Mina for not being able to respond to her calls or messages, reaffirming that he has not been avoiding her intentionally.

 The Right Guy (May 12, 2021) 
Mina spots KJ on the pier while in the middle of a conversation with Benny about the day before. Not wanting to explain the details of the story twice, she runs over to tell him to clock in and come join them.
Once he joins them, Mina recounts the events that transpired, bringing up the issue of the doors being left unlocked, again, which resulted in her being robbed in the back of the Burger Shot.
She expresses her disappointment and frustration in the way that the police handled the situation. KJ offers his own idea of how to deal with the people who robbed her.
 I will tell you this much, you know. If you find them, we kidnap them. We chop their fingers off, you know. That's what they do to people who are stealing.
As they recount events, they come to a mutual conclusion that the one leaving the doors unlocked must be Bobby, as he was there during the robbery.
 People rob people just to rob people. You know, greed. Greed.
But, I don't care about the money...
Mina tries to give KJ a band of notes, though she admits to having more that were taken when she was robbed, which he is hesitant to accept at first. Although she tries to simply give the band to KJ, he insists on paying her, not wanting to be one of the people taking advantage of her kindness. He warns her not to run around with so much money as anyone could rob her.
Hoping to take her mind off of it, he offers take her to Rooster’s Rest for a meal. Mina accepts his offer. 
 Your bandana reminds me of this pretty lady I met in the Barrio.
His yellow bandana reminds Mina of the encounter she had with Vero in the Barrio, which left her with a strong impression of the woman. She informs him of the disagreement she had with her friends regarding safety, though KJ declares she doesn't need to worry.
 As long as you're under my wing, nobody will touch you down there.
Sparkle and another woman interrupt their talk. She directs her flirty comments at KJ, while Mina observes silently. He goes along with the back-and-forth banter, even managing to reject her advances smoothly.
Once they are left alone again, Mina laughs it off, apologizing to KJ for yelling at him before. She shared the hopelessness she felt after the police failed to help her. He urges her to call him next time, promising to make it up to her.
KJ brings up his plans for a new business, which would provide more opportunities for artists around Los Santos. He extends an invitation to Mina to be a part of it, clarifying that though he won't be the CEO on paper he would be the one financing it.
She is able to draw her own conclusion as to why that may be the case, asking him if it had something to do with him being a part of the Vagos. He isn't afraid to admit that his past is not entirely squeaky clean. Undeterred, Mina tells him she is willing to help him out.
 I don't mind doing anything to help you out KJ. I won't--I won't let them do anything to you either.
After a man is attacked on the pier, police arrive to question the Burger Shot employees. Mina steps in, after KJ feigns cluelessness, commenting they were all too busy preparing food to hear anything.
KJ brings up his business again, attempting to introduce Jasmine to Mina, unaware that the two have meet before. He expresses his intention of bringing the artists in the city together, inviting Jasmine to join them for dinner. The next evening, KJ picks Mina and Jasmine up for Rooster's.
While the drive is initially awkward, Mina helps break the ice, engaging in a conversation with Jasmine about their favorite foods while KJ is depositing his work receipts in the Vault.
The three enjoy a meal at Rooster’s, Mina opening up about her time in Los Santos and her experience working at BS. KJ apologizes again for not being able to respond to her messages.

 Órale (May 13, 2021)
When Kitty suggests to Mina that she start wearing a uniform, JJ volunteers to go with her. After working a few shifts side-by-side, her positive impression of the Vagos increases.
KJ arrives for work in a bad mood, dealing with Chino, who has been acting strangely. His spirits are lifted after Mina fulfills his request of saying Órale. The interaction makes him smile and he calls Kitty over to hear it as well.
 I like it. Never change it, ay. Be you. 
He approaches her while she is busy grabbing ingredients from the fridge, suggesting they go to Rooster's for food after work. When she comments that he must be busy, worrying about being an inconvenience, KJ clarifies that his schedule is clear for the rest of the day.
 Hey, Mina let's do something you want to do today.
When he persists, she reveals that she hasn’t been able to visit Boe, something she really wants to do. KJ immediately agrees to the idea, adding that they should also grab some food and look at the stars after work.
 What?
Hey, you like Mina, right?
Yeah, she's a--yeah.
Kitty approaches KJ about the date she and Dawn are trying to set up for Cece and JJ. She asks if he would like to make it a double with Mina, which he agrees to.
A few moments later, KJ asks Mina about JJ, leading into a conversation about the upcoming date between JJ and Cece. He fumbles his words, informing Mina he was asked to ask her on the date. She misunderstands his intention, interpreting it instead as them playing wingmen to JJ and Cece on their date.

 The Interview (May 16, 2021)
 Cece?
Yeah?
I heard you are going to be going on a double date soon...
Mina accidentally reveals the plans for the double date to Cece, unaware that JJ has yet to officially ask her. When she clarifies that the date is supposed to be between them, JJ and KJ, Cece is shocked.
 I didn't know you and KJ liked each other. 
Cece freaks out at the news, feigning passing out across the countertop, while Mina worries about Kitty finding out she ruined the surprise. 
After a brief meeting, Cece drags Mina and Ash into the Burger Shot break room to discuss the double date Mina unintentionally spilled the beans about. She makes it worse by revealing that Kitty is the one who set it up, and Cece worries that the surprise won't be special.
 Wait, do you like KJ then?
When Cece asks Mina about her feelings for KJ, she does not immediately deny it, simply pointing out that from her observations that he seems to like more than one girl. Cece tries to clear up her doubts, informing her that once KJ is interested in someone he won't flirt around as much.
KJ arrives for a shift at the BS and Cece takes the opportunity to further tease Mina about exposing the surprise. He instructs Cece to pretend she doesn’t know about the date.
 I want to go on a date with Mina, but when I was asking her out it was more like we were wingmaning you guys.
Cece tells KJ to meet in the the back office where she questions him about the double date and the fact that he chickened out when he asked Mina out. She wonders how he would about about making it a "real date", instead of them just playing wingmen. He responds confidently that he can ask her himself.
Taking matters into her own hands, she brings Mina to the back office where KJ is waiting. He brings up the other day, when he asked her on the double date, informing her that it is a "real date". 
 I had a feeling...you were just a little weird about it.
Although she already says yes, KJ stands up to ask her once again, formally, this time around.
As she done with Mina, Cece looks over KJ's wardrobe, helping him prepare an appropriate outfit for the date. After a visit to the clothing shops, KJ shows off his outfit to Mina, earning her sincere compliments.
KJ drives Mina to the apartments at the end of their shift, before heading over to the Vault to cash in her work receipts. His surprise is displayed at how much money she has managed to accumulate. 
 Does a bird born in a cage know how to spread its wings?
During the night shift, they share another heart to heart, under the Ferris wheel. She finally opens up to him about her past, the first time she really does so, although it’s a bit hard for her. 
Mina tells him about her parents, the fact that growing up she could never say no, and that she was raised to be a perfect doll. After they passed away, she fell in with a bad crowd, who used her talents to hurt people.
She reveals that during that time she made a friend, who basically whisked her away from that life. Their friendship helped her realize that before then she lacked a desire or want for anything. 
 Hey, let nobody change who you are. You are you. If you don't want something, that's you. If you want something, that's you as well.
Mina admits that during their skydiving adventure, she experienced the sensation of “wanting” for the first time in her life, something completely new for her. 
KJ hugs her, letting her know that he’s there for her whenever she needs him, regardless of how their date turns out.
At the end of the shift, KJ invites Mina to meet his friends and they drive to Pillbox to pickup Cece before heading down to the Barrio where Benji and Chino are there to greet them. 
 So, Mina you have to answer a few questions, because, you see, KJ is a very eligible bachelor. Okay? We can't just let him date whoever he wants. 
A protective Benji begins his interview with Mina to make sure she is a good fit for his friend. He notes that she giggles and runs around a lot, then questions her about her age. When he finds out just how young she is, he cracks jokes with Chino about the awkward age gap.
Benji drags KJ and Chino away for a quick sidebar where the two note that Mina might be on drugs from the way she is behaving. KJ denies that possibility, defending her by saying she is simply high on the drug of love.
 He's done. That's it.
It's over. It's over. This is a lock. This is on lock.
Despite his earlier comments when they were alone, Benji gives her his approval with the stipulation that she watches “Cars 3” with KJ later, to which she agrees in confusion.

 Fight to the Death (May 18, 2021)
After witnessing Glue Guy getting kidnapped down at the pier, Mina hastily calls KJ, who is none too interested in saving him. Hours later, Jasmine is also kidnapped, by a clown guy and a lemonhead lady who force her to call her friends to come to a pinged location. 
Mina is the only one who answers and when she arrives at the crypt, they are forced to fight to the death. When KJ stops by the pier, Jasmine explains to him what happened, though he later leaves for a Vagos meeting before being able to talk to Mina about it.
| Jasmine Tells KJ What Happened
 A Sunrise in the Barrio (May 19, 2021)
A few days later, Mina sends KJ a text about someone asking her out on a date, which left her feeling uncertain of what to do or where she even stood with him.
KJ shows up into the night shift, offering to help take care of orders. Tension builds between them, KJ not mentioning the text she sent him earlier and Mina unable to chat with him like normal. 
Mina finally approaches KJ at the end of the shift to ask if he has a car. He responds that he does and even offers to help her carry stuff. She tells him that she has about 400 work receipts, asking if he can take her to cash them in. She admits that she’d feel better if he is the one to take her, giving a glimpse of the level of trust she had in him.
On the walk to the car, KJ finally broaches the matter of the text she sent him, wondering who asked her on a date. Mina explains how it happened but doesn't appear enthusiastic about it.
 Yeah, I just--I rather it was you.
Mina is working on the pier when KJ stops by the Burger Shot to order some food. They talk about how her paintball date went, Mina revealing that she surprised the others with her shooting ability. He asks her what her plans are for the rest of the night and when she says nothing he promises to come back after dropping Raymundo off.
After catching a house robbery, KJ calls Mina to ask if she is willing to come down to the Barrio with him.
 My boys need me, but I don't want to let you hang, you know? So how about I come pick you up?
A few minutes later, he arrives at the pier to pick her up for Mina and KJ time. He showers her with compliments and when they head back down to the Barrio they talk about the car she has been looking into. 
They make a pit stop by the apartments to pick up more receipts before heading to the Vault to cash them in. Again KJ is left shocked by how many receipts Mina has managed to accumulate. 
 Yeah, you should take the interest. You have more money than me.
He jokes about collecting the taxes in exchange for cashing in her receipts, which manages to make Mina laugh. She counters, expressing her certainty that KJ would not do anything to hurt her. KJ agrees as she is too nice to hurt. 
Down in the Barrio, KJ briefly introduces Mina to Raymundo and Arturo. When the three begin discussing business, Mina steps away, giving them space to have a private conversation. 
Although he isn’t able to reveal much about his business with the Vagos, they both admit to enjoying each other’s company. KJ shows Mina how to climb on top of a rooftop in the Barrio and the two enjoy the sunrise together. 
 Oh, I like it.
It's quiet down here.
Afterwards, KJ gives Mina a tour around Jamestown, telling her about the people they protect in the neighborhood from robberies. He explains to her that they give out free food through the taco truck before going on to show her the docks. Realizing she hasn’t seen much of Los Santos, KJ decides to show her around.
 I try to take care of her the best I can.
They visit Boe and smoke a joint together, sharing stories about their most recent experiences. KJ declares that he enjoys listening to her voice and joins in the conversation. This sparks Mina’s decision to buy a special car for KJ.

 Ingredients (May 20, 2021)
When KJ pulls into the Burger Shot parking lot, Mina quickly runs up to his car and boards the passenger. She requests him to drive to down to the pier, nervous Sasuke is about to do something.
 I'm not busy when it comes to you.
He asks if he should hang out at work for a bit, though she comments that he might be busy. They work the shift together but as the night continues they run low on ingredients. Mina volunteers to pick some up, and KJ offers to take her.
 I'm notorious about worrying about everything. 
Mina reveals she has bought the ingredients six times already, something that surprises KJ as she has to buy them with her own money.
Though she is unbothered by the prospect of spending her hard earned money, KJ voices that other people should be stepping up to pay as well. 
Once they return, KJ approaches Sherry about the situation, who is equally surprised to hear how much money she has spent.

 Your place or my place? (May 22, 2021)
Mina realizes she was been hired at Burger Shot for the first time after arriving for another shift. When she learns that it is Ash's birthday, she contemplates what gift to get her as they are not particularly close. At the suggestion of a fellow employee, she prepares some fries for her. 
After the party at the skatepark, for which Mina ran back and forth making fries for the other guests, KJ shows up at the Burger Shot. He greets Mina warmly, asking if she is aware that today is Ash's birthday. Mina excitedly answers that she knows. 
 I guess I want to say don't...be shy taking me along sometime.
They have a short but private fashion show in the breakroom, Mina revealing the new "Barrio patrol" outfit she prepared for him. To her delight, the black cowgirl outfit, which matches his own, earns his strong approval.
A few hours later, Mina is brought to Pillbox by Rhodes after what she describes as a "force of nature" flings her across Dean's World, effectively incapacitating her. She calls Tee to pick her up. 
 Somebody harmed you?
She runs into KJ and Harry just as they pull into the parking lot of the hospital. Taking in her injured state, KJ asks if someone hurt her. She tells him about Wingman throwing her off the pier, though reveals it was being flung across Dean's World that sent her to the Pillbox. Hearing this, he threatens to call Wingman and kill him.
He invites her to a party at Hayes and they hitch a ride with Law Gang. Once they arrive, Pez informs the group of a party that he is hosting for Ash over at the Gallery. Mina squeezes KJ's hand before heading to the party in separate cars.
 How are things going with KJ?
Mina unexpectedly runs into Raymond at the party, though she is only able to recognize him by his voice. They talk about KJ and Raymond expresses surprise when he hears the flirtatious man has yet to make a move. At her uncertainty, he informs her that if things don't work out, Jay is a good man.
Benji shoots Pez down, effectively ending the party, before dipping before the police can show up. While Mina and Raymond are talking outside, KJ joins them and is immediately called out.
 Why aren't you making a move on this beautiful lady?
An embarrassed Mina runs away as Raymond prods KJ about making his move. KJ insists that he has he has slowly been making his move not yet ready to settle in a new relationship. Raymond warns him that if he doesn't do something soon, someone else will swoop in.
 Who's Kendra?
Kendra is Kendra. Like, we had something going on for like eight months.
To his surprise, Raymond learns that KJ was in a long-term relationship in the past, which is part of the reason he hasn't been in a rush and instead enjoying the single life.
Raymond informs him that another man is hitting on Mina, though it is Raymond who has been hinting to her about giving Jay a chance.
 Maybe I should make a move? See how it goes.
Not one to beat around the bush, KJ finally confronts Mina about their relationship, simply asking her to choose between her place or his. An embarrassed, but very happy Mina suggests his place. Before they head down to the Barrio, he clarifies that she won't be dating any other men. 
After the shower episode, which Benji walks-in on, much to Mina's embarrassment and KJ's frustration, she is left to hang out with Arturo while KJ has a quick meeting. Benji teases him about the incident, commenting that Mina must have enjoyed it by the way she is dancing.
Mina hears Ash calling out for help and finds her incapacitated after having fallen off of a roof. She asks her not to tell Benji what happen, which Mina obliges when KJ joins them. Aware that the city is shorthanded on EMS workers after the incident at Dean's World, they decide to drive Ash to Pillbox, arguing along the way about the Barrio chickens.

 No More Glass (May 23, 2021)
 When were you going to tell me that you and Mina were finally official now?
Cece corners KJ when he is clocking in for work about the recent progression of his relationship with Mina. Though he plays it cool, he confirms that they are now officially dating, including explicit details.
Hours later Mina is working at Burger Shot with Cece when she mentions the influence KJ has had on her decision to purchase a car. She reveals that the car she has decided on is very expensive and sought after by many, making it that much harder to acquire.
 Whatcha doing after Mina?
Deputy Glass stops by for a meal and tries his luck with Mina after their first date. She awkwardly informs him about her relationship with KJ,. Glass does his best to deter her from him. When he calls KJ a "filthy criminal", Mina denies that he is, though Cece chimes in that he is a member of the Vagos. 
While working the taco truck down in the Barrio, KJ receives a call from Cece about the incident with Glass. He is none too bothered hearing that Glass has been hitting on Mina, simply saying that between the two of them there is no competition. 
 Let's see how Mina handles it.
Instead of stepping in as Cece suggests he do, he instead calls her out for trying to instigate something. He goes on to say he will have a talk with Mina about Glass.
At the same time, Glass calls Mina and expresses him concern for her safety, divulging information about the various crimes KJ has committed which include the attempted murder of government officials.
 I mean literally if you ask KJ what he's done in his past, he'll literally tell you.
Cece and Mina talk in the breakroom about Glass, Mina explaining the call they had earlier. Wanting to know more, they drive down to city hall at Cece's suggestion, where they look up KJ's criminal record.

 A Fair Trade (May 24, 2021)
 That's good! Finally, he's committing. 
Before heading out for a fishing trip, Mina pulls Kitty aside to update her on what happened after the birthday party for Ash. She credits Raymond for getting KJ to make his move, though she is not sure what he said to the man. Kitty offers Mina her congratulations and adds that he better treat her well.
The group, including Mina, Cece, Nini and Kitty, stop by the PDM to purchase NoPixel Cards, the latest obsession for many people in Los Santos. Mina manages to pull a JJ card and Cece immediately demands she exchange it for her KJ card. The two happily agree on the trade.

 Mina The Angel (May 25, 2021)
 Are you taken? 
Yeah, my--my boyfriend is KJ.
Mina is working the Burger Shot counter when JB and Pablo show up for a meal. She asks JB if he has seen KJ, before Pablo interrupts reminding him about needing bandages. Mina suggests he eat the fries from his meal and he calls her an angel.
Before going any further with his flirting, Pablo asks Mina about her relationship status. JB is visibly surprised to hear that KJ is her boyfriend, jokingly warning Pablo that he is walking on fine ice.
 
KJ stops by for some food with Benji and Rudi waiting for him by the truck. Mina greets him warmly, gifting him joints to share with the boys. Jimmy, who is preparing burgers nearby, overhears their conversation and witnesses the kiss they share. He asks to speak with KJ outside.
 You were all about Mina since the beginning.
Outside Jimmy reveals he is impressed by KJ, who had originally tried setting him up with Mina when she first started volunteering at Burger Shot. KJ offers a brief but explicit explanation, before returning to the truck to an impatient Benji. Jimmy heads back to the kitchen, teasing Mina about Cars 3 .
 Now I know who's competition now.
Mina and Chino are working the counter at Burger Shot when Devon appears with the lunch rush. She calls him over to her register, by name, which catches Chino's curiosity.
When Devon introduces himself, Chino comments that now he knows who KJ's competition is, implying a possible romantic rival for Mina. Though she adamantly denies any possibility while Devon simply laughs it off, Chino tells her not to hit on other dudes.
Chino prepares to head back down to the Barrio and Mina asks him to deliver a meal to KJ, worried he is too busy to eat. 
 Me and KJ are now dating.
Later that night, while everyone is standing around in the Burger Shot parking lot Mina runs into Jasmine. She tells Jasmine the news about her relationship with KJ, earning her congratulations.

 A Surprise for Mina (May 26, 2021)
 You were telling me you were making something for her...
KJ makes a call to Jasmine who messaged him about a drawing she had done, intending to gift it to Mina for injuring her. He offers to pay her for the drawing so that the gift can also be from him. 
Mina is in the middle of being questioned by Sherry, Kyle and Burger Shot Bot about her past when KJ arrives with a surprise for her. Confused by the situation, he asks Mina to follow him outside to where Jasmine is waiting. They present the portrait to Mina, though she is still feeling the intense emotions from revisiting her past trauma.
 Just wanted to surprise you and cheer you up.
KJ surprises Mina while she is working again down at the pier. He asks her about her day and she has been unable to contact anyone for help, the rest of their coworkers seemingly busy with other things, leaving her to deal with customers alone. He listens as she recounts how Sherry and the others joked about her having a Plankton boyfriend, which KJ misinterprets as them poking fun at him. Hoping to relieve some of her stress, KJ offers to stay with her. 
Her good friend Devon stops by to grab some food and Mina formally introduces him to KJ for the first time. She explains to KJ how Devon saved her from the lemonhead lady that kidnapped Jasmine a few days before. KJ expresses his gratitude.

 You’re getting married? (May 27, 2021)
Mina is working down at the pier with Cece when Chico reaches the front of the order line. She recognizes the yellow bandanna hiding his face and returns his greeting in Spanish. He offers her a compliment, causing her to slink away in a fit of embarrassed giggles and leaving Cece to take care of his order.
Harry, who is standing behind Chico in line, encourages him to continue talking to her in Spanish. Cece hastily steps in to let them know Mina is in a relationship. 
 She has a boyfriend. It’s KJ.
Before he can leave, Mina asks if he knows whether or not KJ is around. He voices his uncertainty about that and Cece mischievously declares she will simply call him herself to find out. Mina protests the idea, worried that he might be busy. When KJ picks up, Cece is surprised that he is awake. 
Hours later, while working at the main location, Mina notices Benji as left his car unattended in the Burger Shot parking lot. She contacts KJ, explaining that people have been blowing up cars more frequently these days. She adds that Benji's car might end up being targeted if it isn't moved to a safer spot. KJ shoots her a message that he will contact Benji about it.
 Mina! Yes, she always says órale!
He makes a stop by Rooster's for toys, his latest interest , exchanging innuendos with Betch before making a remark about having a girlfriend now. Aware that he is dating Mina, Betch makes one more explicit joke that earns her a laugh. 
After opening the toys, KJ heads over to the Burger Shot. Mina goes out to greet him while he is taking a phone call and suggests she drive the car back down to the Barrio herself. On the way there, she makes a pit stop at the gas station to fill up the tank. KJ calls her when he realizes she isn't following behind him.
 You’re too nice. You’re too sweet, you know? You’re too much of a sweetheart.
 
Mina explains her plan to take the car over to Benny's next. KJ comments that Benji has money of his own to pay for those things, though Mina simply wants to do something nice. He expresses his concern that someone might take advantage of her kindness, mentioning how the boys continuously to ask for money.
She finally manages to find the Barrio on her own, almost passing KJ and Benji as they are about to leave. Not recognizing her at first, Benji questions KJ about who is driving his car. KJ tells him that it's his girlfriend Mina.
 What a nice girlfriend you have!
KJ brags to Benji about Mina topping off the gas and repairing the car for him, referring to her as his sugar mama. They drop Mina off at Burger Shot before returning to the Barrio to work in the taco truck. 
Down at the pier Mina tells Regina about her relationship with KJ. The Ikea Gang misunderstand their conversation and help spread the rumor about Mina’s engagement on Twatter. Cece joins in on the fun, joking that Mina will be her sister-in-law. 
 Please everyone congratulate Mina Rocket for her upcoming wedding!! ÓRALE!
KJ sees that a twat from Regina is trending and re-twats it, only further convincing those who know them that the rumor is true. People bombard Mina with calls and even stop by the Burger Shot to congratulate her. Arturo gives KJ a call after seeing the twat.
After a series of text messages teasing him about marriage, KJ calls Cece to make his stance on marriage perfectly clear. He adds that he has only been dating Mina for three days and still isn’t sure if she is the right one for him yet. 
 What are you wearing?
Working the “sexy alien” event down at the pier, KJ’s unexpected arrival horrifies Mina, who explicitly asked him not to come. Her costume surprises him and they play a game of chicken, Mina trying to hide behind the counter while he tries to get a better look at her. 
He invites her to tag along for a meeting at a gas station, neutral territory in the south side. During their conversation, she maintains her distance, instead keeping a watchful eye out. A few people stop by, including Benji, who ends up breaking the glass of the entrance doors with his bike. 
 She’s a keeper. 
They go to the Vault to cash their work receipts and run into Raymundo, Arturo and Bodhi. Not recognizing her at first, the boys question KJ. He formally introduces her as his girlfriend, which earns a shy response from Mina. 
When the boys begin to talk about a bank job, Arturo notices Mina walk away and points it out. KJ explains that she does so because she doesn’t want to listen in on his business conversation. The boys are impressed by the action, offering their compliments.

 The Honeymoon Phase (May 28, 2021)
While KJ heads to Burger Shot to see Mina, she tries to surprise him with some goodies down in the Barrio. She runs into JB, Chico and Santi who suggest she leave them in one of the stashes. 
Hugs and kisses to you, thank you so much!
He gives Mina a call after finding the gifts in the stash, thanking her for the sweet gesture. He promises to try to make it up to her.
During the second “sexy alien” event, Mina is rushed by ambulance to Pillbox to receive medical attention after an accident. KJ receives calls from Benny and Sherry about what happened and he heads to the hospital to pick her up. 
 Oh, so looks like KJ and Mina are a thing now...
Her outfit for the event leaves him pleasantly surprised, his compliments making her embarrassed. Mina apologizes to him for being pulled from business to come get her, though KJ doesn’t appear to mind much.
 If something that happens to you—I will be—I will be first guy who comes, you know? I’ll drop everything. It doesn’t matter. Money, whatever, you know? You’re my girl. 
At the end of her shift on the pier, Devon drops Mina off near the Barrio. She joins KJ on the rooftop, who showers her with more compliments.

 Pranked (May 29, 2021)
 Isn’t Mina your girlfriend?
KJ is speaking with Benji and Reggie when he receives a call from Raymond about a guy who beat up Mina and threatened to kill her boyfriend. KJ instructs him to bring the guy down to the Barrio. 
 Is this your friend Mina?
Chad sends Mina a message about there being bodies in the Barrio and when she arrives to find the Vagos absent, she holds him up at gun point. 
Benji, Mike and Chico witness the entire debacle, voicing surprise when Mina punches Chad in the face while KJ tries to mediate between them. 
Mina informs KJ about the car she has been looking into and reveals it will be next to impossible to get it. They head to PDM to speak with Harry about the 2015 Mustang, the car they’ve both been trying to get.
 I don’t know if someone’s trying to prank me or perhaps kidnap me, or get me into trouble or something...
Someone claiming to be Stanton contacts Mina from an unknown number about a raid that will take place of her apartment and she calls KJ, clearly confused and suspicious. 
He offers to go with her, picking her up from the apartments to take her to city hall. She informs him that whoever it is is also messing with her license plate. The culprit turns out to be Judge Russell playing a prank on Mina. 
Mina, on impulse, purchases the Double T, and prepares a new riding outfit with the help of Harry. She heads down to the Barrio afterwards to surprise KJ, who almost doesn't recognize her at first. 
They head to the casino to gamble.

===Past before Los Santos===
Mina states that while she didn't date anyone before Los Santos she lived a life where she was forced to participate in dates. She then hurriedly states that KJ was her first time and then covers her face in embarrassment.
* Note: If a Yakuza took an interest in a girl, they would make her their girlfriend, and the girl had no say in the matter. If the girl tried to leave, she would be dealt with.

Mina first meets Lil Cap while working a shift at the BS with Ash, Cece and Posy. He leaks his newest record for them, Mina going on the reveal that she is a big fan of his music.
He gives her his number and the two have more run-ins, Mina even delivering food to him and his newest artist.
Lil Cap believes that Mina is too nice after hearing some of the incidents she has experienced and tries to coach her on being a bit tougher, which fails miserably.
Lil Cap ended up listening to her sing with little to no preparation and was impressed by her rap. He advised that she should try to work on some bars and send it to him for a possibility of signing her later to Down Bad Records.
When Mina informs Lil Cap about the Lang incident he expresses his concern for her and offers her his protection while he is in the city, even stopping by the BS to see her.

== Factions ==
Pegasus
<tabber>
Overview=
Brandon Valentino
600x600px
You're a good worker Mina. I like you a lot.
Brandon is Mina's partner in the material business for Nino and Pegasus. During a meeting, he refers to them as a power couple and often calls to praise her for the amount of materials she brings in, playing up a rivalry between them for the top spot.
Mina teaches Brandon how to treasure hunt more effectively and during a talk, he reveals what he thinks is her life story: that she lived a sheltered life and went to an all-girls school, which she does not correct. She notes that he is a very blunt person, though she does not necessarily see it as a bad thing.
When Brandon spots Mina outside the Vault, he pulls up beside her and kidnaps the woman she is talking to. She suggests to the woman that she listen to him, as he has a gun, and when he calls her later, she feigns ignorance, claiming she was working all day at Rooster's.
Mina receives a call from Brandon after he is taken hostage for a 24/7. He confides that he feels he is losing his touch and that his kidnapper swiped his gun and silencer. Mina tries to reassure him that he was simply caught off guard and takes him to her house where she has stashed guns and silencers, replacing the ones that he lost.
Unnamed Crew
<tabber>
Overview=
Goals:
(1) Make life better for everyone.
(2) Make everyone happy.
Mina's Crew, currently unnamed, is a group of friends who begin running sanitation together and buying up materials for Pegasus. Mina starts recruiting members for a crew after a phone call with her boss, Nino Chavez, in which he offers her work collecting materials for him when an incident involving OTT results in the Vanilla Unicorn being shut down for weeks.
Since moving to Los Santos, Mina has been looking for someone who is capable of understanding her, someone who shows loyalty, but most importantly, someone who is unaffiliated.
 
Marcus Grail, a mysterious man with whom she shares a similar history, is the first person she recruits and names as her Second-in-Command. While she is the clean front of the group, Grail is her criminal counterpart, tasked with dealing with the things Mina can't attach her name to. He is extremely protective of Mina, almost disobeying direct orders whenever she is in danger or needs help. Vicente Diaz is recruited after running sanitation with Grail and Mina. He is also a member of Grail's personal Crew. Mina finds him to be trustworthy and a fun person to be around. She tasks him with collecting materials for her with Grail.Dirk Whistler is a friend of Grail and an ideal pick for the group. He shares similar views as Mina and has worked with Grail in the past.
Marcus Grail "AKUMA"
600x600px 
I'm yours.
*second-in-command
Mina first meets Grail as she is leaving her mansion and spots him running around blacked-out. When she pulls up to him, he explains he had been in the middle of a bike race. She offers him a ride and the two hit it off almost immediately.
She begins spending more time with him after her breakup, often going fishing and hunting together, and he frequently expresses his interest in her. Grail shows great understanding, bringing up giri in a discussion with Mina about Butterfly and the sense of obligation she feels to fulfill her dreams. She hints about her past involvement with the hostess club and shares with him her birth name, something nobody else in the city knows. 
When she tells him that Hunter is the only person to ever take her on a real date, Grail decides he will take her on one.
The Dark Army	
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table"	Gheto Kaiba [Friend]
600x600px 
Kaiba is the founder of the Dark Army, which Mina is inducted into. He seems to have some interest in her. Mina is kind to him, offering him bandages when she sees him covered in blood.	
Yakuza
*Depending on the view point, Mina was either a victim or an accomplice to the Yakuza.
When Mina was ten, the Yakuza killed her parents and kidnapped her, effectively taking complete control of her life for the next decade. They kept her locked away in a dark room, where they would utilize her natural talents in art to produce counterfeits for them. They also had her forge documents. This went on for the next six years.
When Mina turned sixteen, they moved her from the dark room to the bright lights of a Hostess Bar. There, she entertained customers for the club, who offered her expensive gifts that she would later hand over to the Yakuza. During her time with them, they trained her to walk away whenever they took a phone call, using beatings as a method to hammer the lesson. Mina is currently on the run from them.
During her time at the hostess club, they kept a watchful eye on the women who approached her with questions, torturing and even killing them on most occasions.
==Family==
Biological
Unnamed Mother † and Unnamed Father †
Not much is known about Mina's parents, other than the very restrictive life she had while living with them until the age of ten. They raised her to be a perfect doll, limiting her choices and maintaining control of every aspect of her life.
Adoptive	
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed article-table"	James-Kamea Brown "JB" †
When they first meet, JB notes that her nickname of Giggles is very befitting and not entirely a bad thing. On a car ride to Dean’ World, Mina reveals what happened to her that day, including the robbery and kidnapping incidents, surprising JB enough to offer helping her deal with the people involved, even though it is only their first time meeting.
Mina expresses early on that she trusts JB, going so far to say that she has his back when he calls her about Bench Guy, who Mina greatly admires after being saved by him.
After finding out Mina is dating his boss, KJ, their friendship develops further with JB taking on an almost “protective older brother” position in her life, warning guys not to hit on her whenever he’s around.
The two have been mistakenly paired up by outside observes, most recently a BS customer implying JB could take Mina for a drive, resulting in them quickly squashing the suggestion.
Whenever JB is involved in an accident or incident, Mina shows a strong emotional reaction. When she finds out he is in prison, she rushes to go see him and after being shot in front of her, she expresses her shock.
