Joséfina Reyes (Remake-verse)

**Joséfina Reyes** is the daughter of Marisa and Unknown Father, the second cousin of Mel, Maggie Vera and the late Macy Vaughn, the granddaughter of Fabiola and the great-niece of Julie. She is a witch born without any active powers, due to being born male and her family in Puerto Rico was unwilling to help her gain her power. In hopes of finally being able to manifest her power and prove herself as a witch, she came to Seattle in 2021 searching for her family's Book of Shadows, which had been stolen many years prior by Marisol Vera. However, unbeknownst to her, the book had been destroyed two years beforehand.

Joséfina briefly moved in with the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones at Vera Manor, and was able to assist Mel in fully recreating the book with entries from the original and filling it with new pages. She soon was able to manifest her witchly power, gaining the ability to create and manipulate plants. She has since returned to Puerto Rico to begin college, but maintains contact with her cousins.

## History

### Early Life

Joséfina was born a male in her family, but she always knew she was really female. Although her family accepted her gender identity and eventual transition, they did not encourage her to pursue witchcraft because they believe only biological women could have magical powers. Joséfina was not discouraged and learned witchcraft through spells and potions. Eventually, her family kicked her out when they realized she was insistent on developing active powers, prompting her to travel to America to search for her family's Book of Shadows in hopes of achieving her goal.

## Personality

Joséfina is described as a strong, opinionated young woman who shows up on the sisters' doorstep with surprises and secrets.

Joséfina is a self-taught witch who wants to strike out on her own and thrive at her magic. She is an expert on Brujeria. Deep down, though, Joséfina was initially insecure and determined to prove herself, going through great lengths to achieve her goals, including using magic to steal a book from a university library when she was denied access. She even once used her powers on her cousins when she believed they were going to reverse what gave her those powers, but let them go when Mel talked her down and explained her powers are not the only thing that makes her a witch.

When believing she's been wronged, Joséfina can come across as rude and standoffish, but if amends have been made, or if she trusts someone, she is shown to be very kind and caring. She loves her cousins, and will willingly help them when asked, even coming back to Seattle from Puerto Rico when Mel needed help with a Brujeria spell to prevent her baby from the future from being born in the present.

Due to her upbringing in Puerto Rico, Joséfina occasionally speaks in Spanish, even while talking to others in regular English.
