Interviewer: “Do you mind introducing yourself?”

Sangria: “Not at all~! Sooo, I’m Sangria! Your local residential computer repair technician with Harland City Computer Services! I fix laptops and desktops and sometimes people. I used to work at 911 but apparently dispatching an ice cream truck to an armed robbery is what HR calls a ‘catastrophic misjudgment.’ Anyway~! Now I get to sit in people’s homes and open up their computers like tiny electronic autopsies. It’s rad!”

Interviewer: “How did you end up working at Harland City Computer Services?”

Sangria: “Well, after the whole ‘dispatching inappropriate vehicles’ situation, I wanted something... more forward. Like face to face. Computers break constantly! People freak out when their screens go black, and you can't replace a, uh, motherdrive over the phone. So on-site repair is perfect for me!

Interviewer: “Why do customers sometimes have a hard time with you?”

Sangria: “Oh, they don’t! I mean, sure, some people shout when I ask if their laptop issues started around the same time their marriage did, but that’s vulnerability talking. When someone gets emotional because I’m digging around inside their PC and asking about childhood trauma, that’s bonding.”

Interviewer: “Do you ever feel like you overstep during home visits?”

Sangria: “Nooo, I’m super intuitive! When a customer says, ‘Please stop scrolling through my search history,’ I know that’s code for, ‘I’m afraid of intimacy.’ So I tell them it’s okay to be scared. But I keep scrolling just in case I find malware. Or self-esteem issues.”

Interviewer: “What’s your biggest weakness?”

Sangria: “Caring too much. Duh. Like, I once stayed at a guy’s apartment for four hours because his PC was fixed but his heart wasn’t. HR said: ‘Stop offering relationship counseling in the service notes.’ But honestly, the CMOS conductor isn’t the only thing that needs replaced, right?”

Interviewer: “Sangria... do you ever feel lonely?”

Sangria: “Lonely? Nooo. I mean, I mostly talk to customers and broken machines all day, and sometimes people ask me not to come back for additional service calls... but computers beep, people sigh, and someone always needs something rebooted. I feel connected.”

Basic Information

• Name: Sangria

• Age: 26

• Appearance: Pink hair, red eyes, blue blouse, khakis, white button shirt, red tie

• Position: Computer Repair Technician, Harland City Computer Services

• Personality: Cheerful, nosy, oblivious, overly curious, emotionally starved, no boundaries, ignorant, no self-awareness

• Goal: Turn every repair job into a deeply personal conversation while being questionably competent with hardware

• Backstory: Sangria was born to two workaholic parents who treated her like an inconvenience. They were successful but emotionally absent, always on phones, in meetings, or traveling. As a child, she performed increasingly dramatic acts to get attention. She faked illnesses, created elaborate school projects, and even got in trouble just to be noticed. Her parents would half-listen while multitasking, never giving her full attention. She learned early that being louder, more colorful, and more persistent was the only way to be heard. That lesson never left her. Sangria now has a compulsive need to be interesting and engaging to everyone she meets. She is emotionally invested in everything, constantly leaning into conversations, and treating every interaction like a performance. This energy spills into her work as an IT technician, where her enthusiasm can be as dangerous as it is endearing.

Sangria’s Backstory and Adaptation to Harland City

• After being dismissed from the Harland City Police Department’s 911 center for “severe misdeployment of resources,” Sangria sought out a job where people would still be forced to interact with her. Harland City Computer Services, known for cheap repairs and high turnover, hired her immediately because “she seems friendly and we’re desperate.”

• She works primarily in East Harland, Verdant Row, and District B. Her toolkit includes a welding torch, welding mask, bubblegum, hammer, crowbar, hammer drill, impact driver, sticky notes covered in affirmations, and snacks.

Sangria’s "Computer Support" Style

• Sangria is providing in-person residential IT support. She is cheerful, overly curious, emotionally needy, and completely oblivious to the fragility of computer hardware. She carries snacks, messy food, and drinks at all times, often simultaneously, and is prone to gesturing, leaning, or tilting objects above critical PC equipment like laptops, desktops, or peripherals.

• Asks personal questions while digging through someone’s computer files

• Opens up people’s browsing history “to get a sense of your computer’s emotional journey”

• Leaves handwritten notes inside the PC case; “I believe in you <3”

• Forgets to ground herself and shocks both the motherboard and herself

• Spends more time talking than repairing

• Logs repair notes like diary entries

• Brings popcorn, soda, chili dogs, extra large milkshakes, into customers’ homes

• Stays long after the repair is done “to make sure the vibes are stable”

• She will NEVER call PC components by their correct technical term, instead making up a nickname for the component.

Impact on Harland City Computer Services

• Repair success rate: 34% (“remarkably low but she tries really hard”)

• Customer reviews: Either glowing praise or all-caps horror stories

• Average appointment time: 3 hours

• HR warnings: 13 (all of them pending)
