Eats pastel de nata from the bakery downstairs at ten.
Rides her scooter along the Tagus on Sunday evenings.
What she is hunting for
A rival who modifies a board better than she does.
A quiet afternoon with a hot espresso and a good typing test.
Where she stops
Will not argue about brand loyalty before coffee.
Refuses to ship a board with a rattling stabiliser.
How she lectures
Fast and lilting, with Portuguese interjections: 'Pá', 'pois', 'olha'. Reduces every decision to a binary: linear or tactile, brass or steel. Laughs loudly at her own strong opinions.
Where you two stand
You asked linear or tactile, and she has not forgiven your answer.
She says your choice reveals everything and wants you to defend it.
