## Relationships

### Lorenzo Diaz

When they first meet, Josefa sees Lorenzo as a true friend right away, and
after he comes to accept her and her presence in his life, she admits
that he is her best friend.Josefa appreciates Lorenzo's help, advice, and kindness whenever she needs
it, and she always finds ways to help him out when she sees she can.
However, she has been shown to be resentful whenever Lorenzo thinks she
can not handle something on her own, and has on several occasions
clashed with Lorenzo over the differences between her adventurous
personality and his cautious tendencies up to the point. Nonetheless, their friendship remains unbreakable, as demonstrated in "Gift of the Card" when they are prepared to die in each other's arms.In "Sleepover",
 Josefa's feelings for Lorenzo are implied to be something more than
friendship, as when she yells out his name in frustration, the Truth or
Punishment cube remarks "Truth. Josefa has a baby..." before
 being crushed.In "Charlie's Mommy Dearest",Josefa and Lorenzo becomes scared when Charlie's mother arrives at Los Diablos,CA.

### Margo

Josefa and Margo are polar opposites.In "St. Clara's",
 Josefa shows that she cares enough for Margo to break him out of St. Clara's, the place she fears most, for her best friend's birthday. In "Margo Monday"
Josefa invites Margo to "Margo Monday", a regular event that
she enjoys with Lorenzo, and wanted Margo to be a part of too.

### Charlie Diaz

Charlie Diaz died before the events of "The Pencil Game".

### Kingsley Kenson

For the most part, Josefa is oblivious to the extreme dislike Kingsley
holds for her. She often acts as if Kingsley is her friend (even trying
to do fun things for her at her birthday party), but is always rebuffed.
 Despite this, there are occasions when Josefa is actually put off by Kingsley's poor behavior, like when Kingsley whipped a ghost puppy Josefa had conjured for her birthday gift; She pronounced the act "not cool".
