Josie O'Malley is an Irish girl living in Philidelphia during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, and working at a diner to help her family afford to live in their apartment. Her two favourite things are cipher puzzles (at which she's a total whiz), and {{Superhero}}es, particularly Zenobia, her personal favourite.
