3
4	[[folder: Salvador "Chava" Iglesias, Jr.]]
5	->'''Played by:''' Luis Gerardo Mendez
6	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chava.jpg]]
7	[[caption-width-right:350:"No Mames, Güey..."]]
8	The heir to the presidency of the Cuervos F.C. soccer team, following the untimely death of his father, Salvador Iglesias. Rather sheltered and ditzy, and obsessed with making his father's team the "Real Madrid of Latin America".
9	----
10	* AmbitiousButLazy: Chava is an icredibly smart, charismatic, and creative man. However, he does not like to put in the work towards success and would rather use his name and money to get what he wants. [[CharacterDevelopment At least at the beginning of the series.]]
11	* AttentionWhore: His fatal flaw.
12	* BadBoss: Towards the players, the staff and Felix during season 1. Even Hugo Sánchez isn't safe from this.
13	* BerserkButton: Do NOT call him "Chava" or insult his ideas.
14	* BitchInSheepsClothing: During season 2. He comes back to Los Cuervos and pretends to be happy with Isabel taking the presidency from him and the club's success, but he's actually [[spoiler: leaking the team's plans to the rivals and working from within to ruin Isabel's plans.]]
15	* CampStraight: Displays some very flamboyant mannerisms, but is explicitly straight.
16	* {{Catchphrase}}: "¡No mames, güey!" Though commonly heard throughout Mexico, Chava is particularly fond of this phrase.
17	* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a childish, ignorant jerk to a thoughtful, supportive man with the confidence to follow his dreams.
18	* DenyingTheDeadParentsSins: When he hears the news that his father, Salvador, [[spoiler: murdered someone decades prior]], he denies it at first.
19	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Aitor Cardoné makes a pass at him and Hugo Sanchez is probably in love with him. [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]] somewhat as Aitor is actually [[spoiler: pansexual]].
20	* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimeLight: Chava does NOT like football at all, and would rather run away than manage the club. However, he likes the attention it brings him, especially with the girls.
21	* ItsAllAboutMe: And how. Most of his problems stem from the fact that he can't stand others taking his spotlight.
22	* {{Jerkass}}: Selfish, self-centered, manipulative, and arrogant [[spoiler: at least at the beginning]].
23	* KarmaHoudini: Although he gets his comeuppance for ruining Los Cuervos during season 1, Chava also [[spoiler: kidnaps, and tries to kill, a reporter that is looking to expose his father's crimes.]] and he gets to live happily ever after without doing any jail time.
24	* {{Manchild}}: At the beginning of the series. Mellows throughout, but maintains some of his more childish tendencies regardless.
25	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Chava displays more typically feminine interests and traits than Isabel. He's very concerned with his image, hates sports and has flamboyan mannerisms.
26	* ParentalIssues: Most of his insecurities and desires to take over Los Cuervos are born out of worry to not live up to his father's expectations.
27	* {{Schemer}}: He and Isabel regularly work to manipulate and undermine each other in their fight for power over the Cuervos. His actions during season 2 especially.
28	* TookALevelInCynic: After Isabel [[spoiler: effectively ruins his presidency and takes over at the end of season 1]], he becomes much more cynical.
29	* TookALevelInKindness: Especially with Isabel.
30	* WasItAllALie: Asks Mary Luz this after he finds out [[spoiler: Valentin, her son, isn't his half brother.]]
31	[[/folder]]

33	[[folder: Isabel Iglesias-Reina]]
34	->'''Played by:''' Mariana Treviño
35	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1126235.jpeg]]
36	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
37	Chava's older half sister, and new co-owner of the Cuervos F.C. team, along with Chava (but ''not'' the president, a position she was not allowed to take explicitly because of her gender). [[WomenAreWiser Much smarter and mature than Chava]], she struggles to keep the team afloat in any way she can.
38	----
39	* AbusiveParents: Implied that her mother was emotionally abusive growing up (and continues to be so).
40	* ControlFreak: Her fatal flaw.
41	* EarnYourHappyEnding: After going through and losing so much throughout the series, from her father to [[spoiler: her marriage, potentially her last chance to have a baby, and eventually the team]], she is eventually [[spoiler: unanimously elected as Cuervos president by its new owners]].
42	* LonelyAtTheTop: A running theme in the show and especially with Isabel. This is actually deconstructed as she's the one that ends up pushing away her allies, be it because they betrayed her or they don't bend down to her will.
43	* ManipulativeBastard: Especially her actions during season 1.
44	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: More brash and agressive than Chava, who displays more flamboyant traits and typically considered feminine interests.
45	* MarriedToTheJob: Absolutely. Her actual marriage suffers [[spoiler: and eventually ends]] in part due to this.
46	* RunningGag: Isabel's stress-eating, especially elotes.
47	* {{Schemer}}: Constantly, especially during the earlier seasons.
48	* TookALevelInKindness: Especially with Chava.
49	* WomenAreWiser: She is by far much, MUCH more sensible and grounded than Chava. She is also more business and industry savvy than him, and is much harder to manipulate [[spoiler: (yet not impossible, as seen when she was tricked into selling up Nuevo Toledo as the new site of a team that becomes the direct competition of the Cuervos)]] than most other characters. This is, however, [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] since she is not perfect, with a few personal flaws that trip her up every now and then.

52
53	!Cuervos F.C. Management and Administrative Staff
54
55	[[folder: Salvador Iglesias, Sr.]]
56
57	Chava and Isabel's father, and the former owner of Cuervos F.C., who bought the team and built it up from the ground up into a local economic powerhouse. He passes away in the first few minutes of the series.
58	----
59	* PosthumousCharacter: Dies early in the first episode, but his legacy is a very strong element of the series, and his actions, for better or worse, heavily influence what happens throughout the story.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder: Félix Domingo]]
63	->'''Played by:''' Daniel Giménez Cacho
64	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felix_4.jpg]]
65	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
66	Vice President of Cuervos F.C., and Mr. Iglesias' long time right hand man. The most experienced member of the staff and board following Salvador's passing, he tries to act as an advisor for Chava and Isabel (the key word being "tries").
67	----
68	* JadedProfessional: As much as he loves Los Cuervos and football in general, Félix [[spoiler: loses his love for the sport after realizing it has become a business full of arrogant and greedy people.]]
69	* OnlySaneMan: Especially when he tries to bring reason to some of Chava's wilder (and frankly stupider) schemes that will likely hurt the team.
70	* PutOnABus: Eventually realizes that he wants to [[spoiler: quit the soccer world all together]] at the end of season 2.
71	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Conspicuously absent from the WhereAreTheyNow segment at the end of the series.
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder: Rafa Reina]]
75	->'''Played by:''' Antonio de la Vega
76	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chivo.jpg]]
77	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
78	Isabel's husband, goalkeeper for the Cuervos who retires early in season 1.
79	----
80	* OnlySaneMan: Along with Félix, Rafa is one of the few people who can (and does) try to mediate between Chava and Isabel and mitigate some of the worse outcomes of their conflicts.
81	* YourCheatingHeart: Rafa ends up [[spoiler: cheating on Isabel with a barista he met]]
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder: Hugo Sánchez]]
85	->'''Played by:''' Jesús Zavala
86	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hugo_sanchez_cuervos.jpg]]
87	[[caption-width-right:350:"¡No mame, señor!"]]
88	Chava's personal assistant and loyal lackey through thick and thin. No relation to the legendary Mexican soccer player of the same name.
89	----
90	* AmbiguouslyBi: Appears to be a little ''too'' fond with Chava, doing pretty much anything at his boss's whim, and [[spoiler: looking non-stop for him after he goes missing during the first few episodes of season 2.]] He is shown flirting with [[spoiler: Laura, a girl he met at Ricky Lamas' party while looking for Chava. Also, by his own account, he had an explicitly sexual relationship with his female roommate (now deceased)...Back when he was 14 and ''she was [[{{Squick}} 80 years old]]''.]]
91	* FullNameBasis: ALWAYS called by his full name, Hugo Sánchez.
92	* HyperCompetentSidekick: He is this to Chava. He makes most of his calls and reservations, and [[spoiler: in season 2, he looked all over Nuevo Toledo, and then travelled to Mexico City and Acapulco when Chava went missing.]]
93	* {{Leitmotif}}: A temporary, situational one. [[spoiler: When Chava goes missing in the first few episodes of season two, Hugo is shown going all over town looking for him.]] In those scenes, the traditional Mexican song ''La Llorona''[[labelnote:Translation]]"The Crying Woman"[[/labelnote]] is playing on a xylophone in the background.
94	* RunningGag: ''His name'' being the same as that of a very famous soccer star is squeezed for all it's worth. Every single time someone addresses him, it's not as "Hugo" or "Sanchez", ''they call him by his full name, every time''. Newcomer characters are, understandably, very confused at first.

99	->'''Played by:''' Aldo Escalante
100	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lanzan_imagenes_de_la_temporada_5.jpg]]
101	[[caption-width-right:350:(Right)]]
102	Isabel's own personal assistant. He's pretty much her own version of Hugo Sánchez, but far less competent and loyal.
103	----
104	* TheStoner: Revealed to grow and use his own pot in season 3.
105
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder: Fede]]
109	->'''Played by:''' Mauro Mauad
110	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fede.jpg]]
111	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
112	The Argentine coach of the Cuervos.
113	----
114	* SecretOtherFamily: Has MULTIPLE secret families. [[spoiler: They eventually find out in the Ballad of Hugo Sánchez]].

117	!Cuervos F.C. Team
118
119	[[folder: Moisés Suárez]]
120	->'''Played by:''' Iannis Guerrero
121	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unknown_591.jpeg]]
122	[[caption-width-right:225:]]
123	Cuervos team captain and Chava's best friend at the start of the series.
124	----
125	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Moises starts the series as a devote christian and a humble man. However, after playing in Greece and coming back to Mexico, Moises becomes arrogant, gets into fights with his teammates and threatens to leave the club if they don't bend down to his will. [[TookALevelInKindness He gets better, though.]]
126	* TheBusCameBack: After being sent to Greece at the end of season 1, returns during season 3 to captain the Cuervos.
127	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: At the beginning of season 1, he's the only one who turns down Eliseo's bribes. [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished And look where that got him]].
128	* TheLeader: Team captain at the start of the show. [[spoiler: Chava gives the captaincy to Aitor once he joins the team, and after Moi returns from Greece, he is made captain again, though reluctantly at first]].
129	* NormalFishInATinyPond: Moises isn't better than [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Aitor or Javier Pizarro]]. However, compared to the rest of Los Cuervos, he's definitely better than them.
130	* PutOnABus: After so much scandal during season 1, [[spoiler: due in no small part to the machinations of Isabel Iglesias]], he moves to Greece to play soccer in Europe and is gone for all of season 2.
131	* TookALevelInCynic: After being screwed over by the Iglesias siblings, being forced to leave the country, and then being screwed over by them (again!) when he finally comes back to Mexico makes him a lot more cynical than he was in season 1.
132

138	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
139	Spanish "crack" player, a new arrival known for his skill on the field and antics off the field.
140	----
141	* TheAce: [[TeamPrimadonna And]] [[ThePrimadonna doesn't]] [[{{Narcissist}} he]] [[AwesomeEgo know]] [[ItsAllAboutMe it]]. One of the best strikers in the world and unbelievably attractive to boot.
142	* TheBusCameBack: After leaving the Cuervos to play in the United States at the end of season 1 [[spoiler: due to the homophobic backlash in Mexico when his sexuality becomes public]], appearing a couple of times in season 2, and not at all in season 3, he returns to the Cuervos in season 4.
143	* ChivalrousPervert: Flirts with everyone, but after he [[spoiler: makes a pass at Chava and is rejected]], he doesn't push things further.
144	* {{Expy}}: Of the more flamboyant, showy soccer stars (think Cristiano Ronaldo.)
145	* MrFanservice: Incredibly good-looking and often almost completely naked.
146	* PutOnABus: At the end of season 1.
147	* ThirdPersonPerson: Often refers to himself in the third person.
148	* TookALevelInKindness: When Aitor comes back, he is more of a team player and nicer overall.
149

153	->'''Played by:''' Joaquín Ferreira
154	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1366_2000.jpg]]
155	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
156	Cuervos player from Argentina.
157	----
158	* BrainlessBeauty: With his oft-remarked good looks and poor reasoning skills, he fits this trope to a T.
159	* TheBusCameBack: After being sold to another team at the beginning of season 3, he returns to the Cuervos in season 4.
160	* CareerEndingInjury: When Tony's gun [[spoiler: accidentally goes off after the semifinal and Potro gets shot in the leg]].
161	* TheDitz: Definitely not one of the Cuervos most powerful minds.
162	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Aitor Cardoné admits that he'd have sex with Potro, after telling the rest of the team that he wouldn't touch any of them [[spoiler: when they react poorly to his sexual relationships with men]]. [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]] somewhat, as Aitor [[spoiler: is pansexual]].
163	* MrFanservice: His cut physique [[spoiler: and massive genitalia]] are frequently on display. Eventually, he puts this to good use [[spoiler: by getting into the porn industry after he can no longer play soccer.]]
164	* [[CitizenshipMarriage Green Card Marriage]]: After Chava tries to get him deported to get revenge on Isabel.
165	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone calls him El Potro.
166	* [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Porn Star]]: Becomes this for a little while to pay the bills [[spoiler: after he is shot by Tony and fired from his team]].
167	* PutOnABus: In the beginning of season 3.
168	* ShipperOnDeck: Tries to get [[spoiler: Rafa and Isabel]] back together in season 4.

174	->'''Played by:''' Said Sandoval
175	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cuau.jpg]]
176	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
177	Mexican member of the Cuervos who is eventually [[spoiler: kicked off the team for protesting a rule that hurts Mexican soccer players who want to play in their own national league.]] He then [[spoiler: runs for governor, and wins]].
178	----
179	* AffectionateNickname: Cuau and "El Azteca" (more often when someone is angry with him.)
180	* TheCorruptible: Sells out to Eliseo Canales in season 1.
181	* CorruptPolitician: Eventually becomes this [[spoiler: after becoming the governor of Nuevo Toledo at the end of season 3]].
182	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he's constantly fighting with Chava and Isabel (for good reason), he genuinely cares for his teammates and even joins the campaign against the corruption inside the Mexican League.
183	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: His campaign against the corruption of the Mexican League and their preference for foreign players [[spoiler: results in him getting fired from the team.]]

194	* PutOnABus: At the beginning of season 3 he is sold to another team. We never hear from him again.
195	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: For a character who is prominently featured for the first half of the series, he is conspicuously absent from the WhereAreTheyNow epilogue.

199	[[folder: Rio]]

204	* LanguageBarrier: Speaks almost exclusively in Portuguese.
205	* PutOnABus: Part of the Cuervos purge at the beginning of season 2, he leaves the team and is never heard from again.
206

208
209	[[folder: Benito "El Zombie" Guerrero]]
210	->'''Played by:''' Markin López
211	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hqdefault_490.jpg]]
212	[[caption-width-right:350:Si tu corazón no está contigo corriendo en el campo, algo estás haciendo mal.]]
213	New addition to the Cuervos in season 3, a Mexican player with a heart condition [[spoiler: that eventually kills him.]]
214	----
215	* TheCutie: One of the nicest characters in the series, and a looker to boot.
216	* DeadpanSnarker: Though usually sincere, he has his snarky moments.
217	* TheDeterminator: The absolute definition of. Despite his heart condition, he is one of the best players on the [[spoiler: new]] Cuervos [[spoiler: Negros Salvajes de Nuevo Toledo en Puebla]], and it is implied, if not outright stated, that he would be considered one of the top Mexican prospects if not for the fact that he's likely to drop dead on the field.
218	* [[spoiler: DyingMomentOfAwesome]]: [[spoiler: Scores the winning goal that the Cuervos need to go to the final, which will save the team from ruin. However, he scores by taking a ball to the chest and this is what ultimately kills him.]]
219	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Is a vegan who hates cruelty to animals.
220	* {{Hallucinations}}: In The Ballad of Hugo Sanchez, he begins to experience hallucinations of a terrifying black crow who talks to (and taunts) him. [[spoiler: While he experiences an out-of-body experience as he dies, he sees the crow for the final time when it tells him it's over and takes him away.]]
221	* [[spoiler: KillTheCutie]]: The determined heart and soul of the Cuervos, it's a real GutPunch when he [[spoiler: dies scoring the winning goal that the Cuervos need to get to the final]].
222	* LivingOnBorrowedTime: With his terminal heart condition that is only exacerbated by vigorous exercise, absolutely.
223	* MeaningfulName: Zombie, an InUniverse reference to his heart condition, and Guerrero, meaning "fighter."
224	* MemorialStatue: They erect a statue and rename the Cuervos stadium after him.
225	* NearDeathClairvoyance: After [[spoiler: scoring the winning goal in the semifinal match]], Zombie experiences this. At first confused about why his teammates [[spoiler: aren't running to him to celebrate his winning goal]] and instead have gathered around someone lying on the field. Zombie eventually sees that they have gathered around [[spoiler: his own body, and realizes that he is dead.]]
226	* NiceGuy: One of the nicest characters in the entire series.
227	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Almost always referred to as "Zombie".

236	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
237	New addition to the Cuervos in season 3, the son of a famous soccer player.
238	----
239	* {{Jerkass}}: Certainly at the beginning. He mellows out eventually.
240	* TookALevelInKindness: Becomes less of an arrogant jerk and more of a team player as the series progresses.
241

243
244	[[folder: El Pepenador]]
245	->'''Played by:''' Raúl Briones
246	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cuervos2_780x439.png]]
247	[[caption-width-right:350:Translation: So we have to get 17 points in the next game?]]
248	Quirky Cuervos goalie added in season 3.
249	----
250	* TheAce: Despite not understanding a lot of how the world works, he is an excellent goalie and all-around player.
251	* AsTheGoodBookSays: Pepe starts reading the Bible after [[TokenReligiousTeammate Email]] joins the team and quotes some passages from the book to bond with him.
252	* SmarterThanYouLook: Manages to commit passages of the Bible and Quran to memory his first time reading them, and is the only one of the Cuervos who [[spoiler: suspects Emaíl of being a traitor]], despite being a bit of an oddball.
253
254	[[/folder]]
255
256	[[folder: Julito]]
257	->'''Played by:''' Memo Dorantes
258	Young player who is recruited to Felix's [[spoiler: new]] team, and eventually joins the Cuervos in season 3.
259	----
260	* TheCutie: Is cute-looking with a sweet, earnest personality.
261	* DisappearedDad: Doesn't know who his dad is, as revealed in a therapy session with the other Cuervos.
262	* TheDitz: Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
263	* GeniusDitz: Within a week or two of being told he is Serbian [[spoiler: (which is an obvious lie)]] he manages to learn a decent amount of the language.
264	* PutOnABus: At the beginning of season 4.
265	* RagsToRiches: Somewhat. Julito is shown to live in a poor neighborhood, though he is able to make a better living than before by playing soccer professionally.
266	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Similar in character to Tony, though unusually, he is introduced at the beginning of season 2 while Tony is still a recurring character. It works out because most of his interactions in season 2 are with Felix, and he and Tony never meet.
267	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: We never find out what happened to him during the "WhereAreTheyNow?" segment at the end of season 4.
268

271	[[folder: Emaíl Trujillo]]
272	->'''Played by:''' Pablo Astiazarán
273	Deeply religious new addition to the Cuervos at the end of season 4.
274	----
275	* TokenReligiousTeammate: Even more so than Moises. Emaíl's religiousness is a cause of conflict with his teammates and within himself as well
276	* TheMole: Emaíl joins Los Cuervos at the beginning of season 4 and soon we find out he's [[spoiler: working for Gaspar to destroy Los Cuervos from within.]]
277	[[/folder]]
278
279	[[folder: Goyo]]
280	->'''Played by:''' Emilio Guerrero
281	Cuervos F.C.'s strict, heavy-handed coach [[spoiler: before Chava fires him during season one]]. His morals and methods are, let's say, ''questionable'', but he is a very competent coach, and a valuable asset to the team.
282	----
283	* DepravedBisexual: Holy hell, ''[[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged]] without mercy. [[spoiler: The "depraved" part comes from him accepting sexual favors from his players' moms as bribes to allow them to play in proper matches. For this purpose, Tony (unknowingly) hires Susanita, a transexual/crossdressing prostitute to pass as his mom. It actually works, and Goyo allows Tony to debut as a main player in the team, apparently playing the trope straight. Subverted since, as it turns out, whatever Susanita did was a) apparently really amazing and b) not enough for Goyo to catch on about what he/she actually has between his/her legs, which causes him to pursue him/her further. Then, he eventually [[UnsettlingGenderReveal finds out Susanita has male genitals]], and he is furious, going as far as to physically beat Tony. However, eventually, a few months later, he is shown having an ongoing relationship with Susanita, effectively double-subverting the bisexual part, and averting the depraved bit (their relationship is clearly serious and long-term).]]

294	->'''Played by:''' Arap Bethke
295	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/juanpabloiglesias.jpg]]
296	[[caption-width-right:350:]]
297	Philanthropist cousin to Isabel and Chava, with whom he has somewhat of a rivalry
298	----
299	* TheAce: Handsome, smart, generous, and good at everything.
300	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he not stop the influx of checks that Manny's family was getting, [[spoiler: the truth about Salvador Iglesias being a murdered wouldn't have come out.]]
301	* OnlySaneMan: Not for Isabel and Chava, but to the whole Iglesias family.

307	[[caption-width-right:320:]]
308	->'''Played by:''' Oscar Olivares
309	A street walker that Tony hires to pass as his mom to bribe Goyo (since his own mother is... not quite attractive). She also happens to be transexual/crossdressing (it's never explicitly said which, but he/she/they is all but said to have male reproductive organs).
310	----
311	* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: All in all, a very nice, caring person. She seems to have a particularly soft spot for Tony, being very reassuring and supportive when they first meet, and ever since then being more than willing of helping him out as much as she can.
312	* TransEqualsGay: Apparently Averted. We are never really told what exactly her gender identity and sexual orientation is, but since we always see her dressing and referring to herself as female (even when not at "work"), she's most likely a trangender woman, as opposed to a cross-dressing gay man.

319	Girlfriend of the late Salvador Iglesias who is pregnant at the beginning of the series.
320	----
321	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Constantly talks about how dangerous her family is, which is part of the reason why she [[spoiler: ran away from her country and changed her name]]
322	* ManipulativeBastard: Played straight during the first season. Mary Luz is constantly scheming and plotting her way into the Iglesias' money.
323	* MayDecemberRomance: With Salvador Iglesias Sr.
324	* PutOnABus: Completely absent (though mentioned) during season 3 after [[spoiler: leaving with Ricky Lamas]] at the end of season 2

332	A reporter who Chava takes interest in.
333
334	* BrainlessBeauty: Deconstructed. Although Paty is presented as this during season 1, she comes back during season 2 and shows a lot more of smarts and emotional intelligence.
335	* SmarmyHost: Played with. Paty accepts to tarnish the reputation of others on live TV as long as she can get something out of it. She usually feels bad about it and [[spoiler: quits her job.]]
336	* TalkShow: Gets her own during season 3.

343	The daughter of the wealthy Armando Cantú who starts dating Chava.
344	----
345	* SpoiledBrat: More subtly than Chava at the beginning of the series, but is definitely used to having her own way because of who her father is. Shows little care for the impact her actions have on others, such as [[spoiler: when she decides she wants the Cuervos to move to Puebla, despite Chava, Isabel, and the team explicitly not wanting to do so, and convinces her father to help her]].

358	* {{Jerkass}}: There's not a single person he isn't rude to. Except Hugo Sanchez.
