Josefina Reynoso

Josefina was born a princess of the Neptune Court. She is the younger sister of the late Queen Luisana Leal.

She is the grandmother of Luz and one of the most influential individuals in the Solar Courts. While she is skilled at weaving through minds, Josefina is also a master political manipulator. She does not need to always use her powers to achieve her goals.

Appearance
Unlike the rest of her family, Josefina stands out for her strawberry blonde hair and fair skin. The Leal family can trace their ancestry with the Medici family, having had a strong allegiance for centuries. Josefina was considered to be very beautiful in her youth and can still claim a great beauty even in her most recent years. She does not look a day over forty.

Personality
A spoiled, entitled girl, Josefina was a precocious child. She only associated with fellow royals and spent her time scheming. There was never a challenge Josefina could refuse. She was very competitive in comparison to the passive Luisana. Even when she grew older, Josefina always found a way to win. She proved to be a supportive wife, helping her husband rule the Sun Court. She was enamored with the idea of him becoming High King of the Solar Courts and pushed for him to remain his father's heir, even after their dispute.

Biography
As a princess, Josefina and her older sister were given many luxuries by their doting father. Being the spare, Josefina did not have much pressure, if at all, growing up. She spent most of her time shopping and gossiping with the other royal ladies. As she grew older, she developed a strong crush on the crown prince Alejandro and declared to her family that she would one day become his wife. She refused any potential match, waiting for her chance to snag the most eligible bachelor. She proved to be quite capable at manipulation and trickery while fighting for his heart.

Regardless of the superficial reasons why she wanted to marry him, Josefina did love her husband, like every other girl in the Solar Courts. They led a happy life together and raised their sons in accordance to their values. Josefina was more protective of her younger son, seeing more of herself in him than in her firstborn. The heirs were trained and overseen by so many others, it was hard for her to become close to Nico. Since Alejandro was the spare, she was allowed to spend more time with him.

When Nico came to his parents for their blessing to marry Ariel, Josefina was not happy with the idea. She had secretly been plotting for her son to marry Marianna Mikhelson to create an allegiance with the Russians. After her husband's insistence, she gave her blessing and went to the wedding. She never quite got along with Ariel, as she was not the daughter in law she could control.

Ariel and Josefina's relationship was strained, even after the birth of her first grandchild, Olivia. Josefina loved visiting her grandchildren and shared a special bond with Olivia. She constantly was trying to match her younger son, first with Drusilla Medici, Jaslene Santos, and Victoria Healy.

After the death of her firstborn and grandchildren, Josefina was devastated. She became a widow shortly after, choosing to wear black for the rest of her life. With the assistance of her nephew, Santiago Leal, Josefina was tasked with finding the witches responsible for the deaths of the Reynoso Royal family. She was given the job after manipulating the High King himself during his grief. Josefina became a sadistic killer, often killing the majority of the witches she tried or leaving them incapacitated. Her nephew was much more benevolent, allowing some of them to go free and clearing them of any wrong doing. Santiago was later murdered by a group of witches, believing he had been the one to give the order to exterminate the powerful Korean, Lee Coven. This action further enraged the celestials against the witches for killings one of their kings.
