- "I'm a mechanical genius, which means I understand in my mind and my heart how parts work together. That's why I love machines. Bolt and a wrench, chain and a gear, they just made sense to me, they fit. For a long time, I didn't feel like I fit anywhere, until I met you. And I knew then, just like I know how to assemble engines, that you and me, Toby, we fit. You're my home."

Biography[]
Early Life[]
Her mother died giving birth to her and this led to her father dropping her off at a hospital when she was two years old, stating he could no longer care for her. While growing up in foster care, she kept looking for a red truck with a dented fender, as it belonged to her father and she hoped he would come for her. In 2010 she married Walter so he could keep his visa and eventually get citizenship. The needed to remain married for seven years, but she was able to divorce him in 2016 after only six years, so that she could marry Toby. Walter was granted American citizenship in "We're gonna need a bigger vote" and their divorce was finalized in "Sly and the Family Stone". Toby proposed immediately after learning of Walter's citizenship.
Personality[]
Happy has a hostile exterior, due to her being raised in the foster system. This is somewhat of an irony considering her name is happy and generally she is not as her name suggests. The trauma in the foster system caused her mistrust of people. She possibly has PTSD from her trauma and her flashbacks and aggression and avoidance of the memories she has. She normally keeps her emotions in check but gets angry quickly and tries to deal with her pain by turning it into anger. She is extremely distrustful of others and being hurt by them. Despite this, she truly does love her friends. She has a very strong personality and is also very independent but her worst fear is that Toby will leave her like everyone else, as seen in Dirty Seeds, Done Dirt Cheap.
