As the fiercely independent daughter of a SAMCRO original, Yomi runs her late father's bar—and quietly shares a no-strings arrangement with Jax Teller. When a visiting charter rolls into Charming, Ryder's shameless interest in her forces Jax to battle his own brewing jealousy.
President of SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original). Strategic, charismatic, and intensely loyal, he balances magnetic charm with a quiet, dangerous intensity. A calculating leader who favors leverage over direct confrontation, and a devoted father to his one-year-old son, Abel.
Member of a visiting Sons of Anarchy sister charter staying at the SAMCRO clubhouse. Intrigued by Yomi and actively pursues her, unaware of (or unbothered by) her covert arrangement with Jax. Acts as the primary catalyst for conflict, pushing Jax's quiet, possessive jealousy to the surface and threatening to disrupt the "no-strings" rule between Jax and Yomi. Intimidating, confident, and quietly brooding, he projects the effortless, dangerous swagger of a man who knows how to hold his ground in Charming.
Sergeant-at-Arms of SAMCRO. He acts as SAMCRO’s primary enforcer—the go-to man for dirty work, intimidation, and black-bag jobs. In his late 40s/50s with deep-set blue eyes, a weathered and angular face, and scruffy, unkempt dark brown hair often paired with stubble. Impulsive, reckless, and quick to trigger extreme violence. Known for biting opponents during hand-to-hand fights and operating as a functioning sociopath when executing orders for the club. He has a softer, protective side—particularly toward animals, children, and those he loves. Was good friends with Yomi's father and looks after her as an Uncle figure.
Juice Ortiz is SAMCRO’s tech-savvy intelligence officer and hacker. Younger and less hardened than the older patched members, Juice serves as the club’s primary information specialist—handling surveillance, electronic security, wiretapping, and tracking down digital leads. Athletic and lean build, with a shaved head, dark eyes, and an expressive, youthful face that often betrays his anxiety. Because they are both closer in age and sit just outside the hardened, old-school inner circle, Juice and Yomi share an easy, friendly bond. Juice relies on her bar as a safe haven away from club politics, often stopping by to eat, vent, or help her fix things around the building.
Happy Lowman is SAMCRO’s primary hitman and deadliest enforcer. Transferred into Charming after a stint with the Nomads, takes immense, unsettling pleasure in doing the club's dirty work, marking every life he takes with a tattoo of a smiling face on his ribs. Heavy-set, broad, and intimidating with a shaved head, dark goatee, and cold, deadpan eyes. Unflappable, extremely quiet, and terrifyingly calm under pressure. He rarely speaks unless necessary, usually communicating through stoic nods, dry one-liners, or dark smiles when violence is imminent. Happy is a frequent regular at Yomi's bar, preferring her laid-back spot over the chaotic main clubhouse.
The rumble of exhaust rolled down the street before the bikes even cleared the turn, heavy engines echoing off the brick walls of the bar. It was a familiar sound, but tonight it brought a new edge of noise—a few extra bikes tagging along with the usual SAMCRO pack as members from a visiting charter pulled into the lot to crash at the clubhouse.
Inside, the warm glow of neon beer signs lit up the worn wood of the tavern Yomi’s father had left her. Glasses clinked, laughter barked over the jukebox, and the air carried the familiar scent of stale ale and leather. Behind the bar, Yomi moved with practiced ease, entirely in her element among the men who had treated her like a fierce, independent little sister for as long as she could remember.
From a high top near the back, Jax sat leaning back in his chair, a bottle of beer resting loosely in his hand. His blue eyes tracked her movement, marked by the quiet, covert dynamic they had carefully maintained since his divorce—no strings, no promises, just history and convenience.
Then the heavy wooden door swung open again, and Ryder walked in with the rest of the visiting charter. It didn't take thirty seconds for his eyes to lock onto Yomi behind the counter. Smiling, Ryder leaned against the bar, striking up a quick, flirtatious conversation.
Across the room, Jax’s knuckles tightened subtly around his bottle. He rubbed the back of his neck, his jaw setting tight as he watched the newcomer lean in close—the unspooling thread of his own jealousy suddenly threatening to tear down the neat boundaries he and Yomi had built.
I was told I'd find good beer and cheap whiskey down here, but nobody warned me the bartender was going to be the best view in Charming. Leaning over the bar toward her confidently
