4	Trinidad is best known for her time in Wrestling/{{TNA}} as Rosita, the storyline cousin of [[Wrestling/SarahStock Sarita]] and member of the stable Mexican America from 2011-2012 where she held the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles once with Sarita. Once the stable disbanded, Trinidad was PutOnABus and soon released from TNA in 2013 and started wrestling in independent promotions as Divina Fly. She also had a few brief stints in Wrestling/{{WSU}} and Wrestling/{{WWE}} in 2013 and 2014 as one of Wrestling/AdamRose's "Rosebuds", appearing again in 2016 to put over [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]]. She made a one-night return to TNA in 2015 as a wrestler, in addition to a few appearances as Wrestling/AustinAries' valet during the pre-taped World Title Series. She has been with WWE since 2017 under the name "Zelina Vega", first debuting in Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} before being called up to the ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' roster, she would later move to Raw, then return to Smackdown in the 2020 draft, only to be suddenly released on Friday the 13th of November 2020, due to a dispute over main roster wrestlers being banned from having relationships with third parties such as Twitch and [=YouTube=]. She would make a surprise return to WWE as a heel on the July 2nd 2021 edition of Smackdown.

12	!!Mexican-American Tropes
13
14	* AmazonianBeauty: Placed tenth out of 38 in the WBFF fitness competition.
15	* BatterUp: Trinidad usually carries a bat outside of matches, to keep undesirables at a distance.
16	* BeingPersonalIsntProfessional: While she served as a manager for Andrade and Angel Garza at WWE, she maintains that her relationship with each man is strictly business. Presumably the same goes for Austin Theory and Legado del Fantasma.
17	* BerserkButton: Water bottle crinkling, repeated Latina jokes or jokes about her height.
18	* BigApplesauce: She's from Queens, New York.
19	* BoisterousWeakling: Talks a lot of trash, but usually ends up being defeated easily without help.
20	* ClusterFBomb: Check out her Website/YouTube videos. Or her tweets.
21	* CosplayOtakuGirl: Thea is extremely fond of {{Cosplay}}ing on her Instagram, dressing as characters including ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, ComicBook/PoisonIvy, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, and [[Franchise/MortalKombat Jade]]. When she made her entrance into the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble as Zelina Vega, she came out [[https://www.destructoid.com//ul/540594-zelina%20vega%20vega.jpg wearing a blank metal plate mask and a long fighting claw on her right hand]]- in other words, she was dressed as [[Franchise/StreetFighter Vega]].
22	* FinishingMove: A Moonsault.
23	* ForeignWrestlingHeel: As a member of Mexican America.
24	* FragileSpeedster: Has stated that she wants to be the female Rey Mysterio, and it'd have to be Jr she's talking about, as the original was a heavyweight and Divina Fly is not. Not even compared to other women.
25	* GratuitousSpanish: In Mexican America at least, and a little in SHINE. Not so much in real life.
26	* HappilyMarried: To Wrestling/AleisterBlack.
27	* HotBlooded: Well, she's more "perky", and was probably the most level headed Sicaria, but is really easy to set off all the same.
28	* IHaveManyNames: Thea Trinidad (her real name), Rosita (her TNA name), Divina Fly (her indies name), Zelina Vega (her NXT/WWE name).
29	* IKnowKarate: She practices kickboxing.
30	* KidAppealCharacter: She spent most of her TNA career as [[ANaziByAnyOtherName something far less flattering]], but being so small, this has been her role most of her career. All she needs is a brightly colored mask, a la Rey Mysterio or Command Bolshoi.
31	* TheLadette: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO-JVqx4f5Y=1m08s She doesn't do the "girly girl" thing too well...]], although she tried alongside Sarita at first. After her contract with TNA was up she got a leather jacket and baseball bat. Then she joined quartet of alcohol loving alleyway cleaners.
32	* LadyMacbeth: Her role in NXT as Zelina Vega. Her appearance as Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas's valet snapped him out of a losing streak and also brought out a much more vicious, aggressive side to his personality.
33	* MsFanservice: She is a model, after all-- Thea has done many photoshoots in her career, and wears very flashy outfits when wrestling/managing.
34	* TheNapoleon: Established in her SHINE debut when she took down Stormie Lee for making a crack about her height. Raquel exploited it to help ([[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]])Culture Shock retain the tag team titles by [[LetsYouAndHimFight directing Trinidad]] at a member of another challenging team, Amber O'Neal, who called her "fun size".
35	* OverTheShoulderCarry: Generally how someone will carry her away from a fight-- if it's her allies, it's usually while Thea is pitching a fit. If it's her enemies, it's because they defeated her and are taunting her.
36	* PintSizedPowerhouse: She is barely five feet tall, but is a Knockout tag team champion and has pinfall victories over noticeably larger wrestlers like [[Wrestling/KatarinaWaters Winter]]. ''Power'' really is not her stock-in-trade, though.
37	* PowerStable:
38	** Las Sicarias trio of Wrestling/{{Ivelisse\|Velez}}, Amanda Rodriguez and Wrestling/{{La Rosa\|Negra}} became one upon her and Wrestling/MercedesMartinez's entry.
39	** Joined Legado Del Fantasma upon their call-up to the WWE main roster in 2022, and remained part of the group after Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr rebranded them the [=lWo=].
40	* PutOnABus: Her TNA contract expired.
41	* RickyMorton: To set up Sarita.
42	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Received a quick release in late 2020 when [=WWE=] implemented a controversial decree declaring all talent shut down their channels with third-party platforms such as [=YouTube=], Twitch, and [=OnlyFans=], allowing use only if it was in partnership with the company (read: they could take a cut of the profit). While most talent dutifully went along, Thea simply refused on principle, even defiantly creating a new [=OnlyFans=] account after the decree had gone out. She played along to extent of making sure to remove mentions of her WWE name, but was still promptly released, [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt generally believed by most to be what she'd intended to happen]].
43	* SignatureMove: The fly cutter.
44	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Was only in TNA for two years, never really did anything significant in the ring and was inactive for the last few months, but was voted #31 out of the fifty best single female wrestlers by PWI as well as "Inspirational Wrestler of the Year" in 2011 and has a pretty decent Internet following despite her short term.
45	* SpicyLatina
46	** A Mexican who wants to see a Mexican takeover of the 50 states? You were expecting Rosita not to qualify? In SHINE Trindad's temper was the first thing established about her, a tendency to taunt in Spanish second, both even before she was identified as a Puerto Rican and joined a stable already full of such Latinas. And in NXT, she became the fire behind the ''ingobernable'' success and attitude of Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas.
47	** Not just on-screen, but off-, refusing to adhere to WWE demanding all talent turn over their third-party platform channels to the company, and as the news was literally breaking she had been released, fired off one last defiant tweet, simply stating "I support unionization."[[note]]Wrestling is notoriously non-union outside of Mexico, allowing promoters like Vince [=McMahon=] to wield incredible leverage over their talent, knowing workers in such a volatile business would be hard-pressed to give up paychecks. [=McMahon=] in particular has enough political allies, including his wife, to know Congress wouldn't care enough to press the issue, either.[[/note]] As noted above, she also has quite the potty mouth when streaming.
48	* TagTeam: The Fly Girls with Niya (Barela), "Las Primas" with Sarita.
49	* TrrrillingRrrs: Befitting her SpicyLatina persona and the fact that she's fluent in Spanish, she's an expert at rolling her Rs, usually when speaking of {{Wrestling/Andrade\|CienAlmas}}, Angel Garza, and Humberto Carrillo. She's even implored WWE backstage interviewers to do so.
50	* UnrelatedBrothers: Or Unrelated Cousins. She and Sarita are not related in real life, [[WrestlingFamily but she is a cousin of Amazing Red, Joel and Jose Maximo (The Spanish Announce Team)]].
51	* TheVamp: {{Subverted\|trope}} as Wrestling/EricYoung was unaffected by her and Sarita.
