## Biography

Prior to the episode, Griselda finds the so called "lucky" ring while doing construction work. She put it on and rubbed it get some dust off, which suddenly cause incredible lucky outcomes for her like winning money and receiving gifts. But suddenly the luck changed and bad things began to happen to her to the point it started to become harmful. She tried to take the ring off, but found it would just tighten around her finger if she tried. She had nearly given into despair when she heard Nate and Malika walking by and the former complaining about needing luck to get through a poem recital at school. Jumping at the chance, Griselda introduced herself and offered Nate the ring to help him out. Nate was instantly taken with it, but Malika was suspicious she would give something that valuable away. Regardless, Nate accepted and pulled the ring off her finger. Now free from its power, she quickly ran off, though did wish Nate luck as she did, which only added to Malika's suspicions.

Griselda then tried her natural luck and brought some lottery tickets from Cosmo's, leaving the ones that were duds on the ground. This gave Nate and Malika a trail to follow after the former starts having his own string of ever increasing and harmful bad luck. The duo found her, which prompted her to flee from the two, scared the ring's power will affect her again. But once Malika caught up, she reveals it only targeted Nate. After which Griselda revealed what happened with her and the ring, apologizing for tricking Nate. Deciding the ring is too dangerous to give to anyone else, Malika comes up with the idea to have Griselda use a steam roller at the construction site to destroy it. While worried about what they're dealing with, she agreed and they put the plan into action, Malika getting the ring off Nate and (after having to be snapped out of it's hypnotic power by Nate) throwing it to the steam roller. The ring however rolled away from it and used it power to trap the duo in cement and rope, then causing the wheel on the stream roller to be broken off and forcing it toward the duo.

Griselda tried desperately to get it back on to save them. Only managing to do so when Malika realized the ring caused good luck to go bad, so the reverse could be true as well and had Nate jump at the steam roller. The gamble works and once the wheel is stuck back on, Griselda drove the steamroller over the ring, ending it's threat. She celebrated with the duo and tried to give a speech about having good friends is better then good luck, which is interrupted by the duo realizing they're late for school and running off, wishing her good-bye.
