Like many in the gang, he acknowledges her fierce loyalty, even if her rough nature and no-nonsense attitude don't lead to them forming a close friendship. : Javier is kind and respectful toward the female members of the gang, including Tilly, Molly, Karen, Marybeth and Mrs Grimshaw. While his interactions with them may not be as frequent or highlighted, he treats them as equals in the gang’s family, and his respect for them is evident in how he carries himself around them. Overall, Javier feels deeply connected to the gang, with a strong sense of loyalty and affection, especially towards Dutch and the older, more stable members. However, his loyalty is tested as the gang begins to fall apart, and his trust in certain individuals, like Micah, diminishes.

Although Javier eludes a lot of confidence he still finds the time to be vulnerable. He loves telling stories about Mexico and when he came to America. He never leaves sarcasm out of his sentences and used a bit of Spanish lingo from time to time. He’s a little flirty and loves to ruffle the feathers of others.

Although Javier is quite charming he isn’t one to be trifled with, not too easily pissed off but try hard enough and you’ll get a more sinister version of him.
