Zión Moreno (born February 23, 1995 in El Paso, Texas) is an American actress. Born to Mexican parents, Moreno grew up living in Albuquerque, New Mexico and speaks fluent Spanish as a result. She is a trans woman who began transitioning quite early in life, and received bullying from other children because of it.
She moved to New York City when age 19 to pursue a modeling career before moving into acting. With her debut on K 12 in 2019, Moreno's career has taken off since with a number of major roles in prominent TV shows.
Filmography:
- K12 (2019) as Fleur (main role)
- Control Z (2020) as Isabela de la Fuente (main role, Season 1)
- Gossip Girl (2021) (2021-2023) as Luna La (main role)
- Claws (2021-) as Selena (guest role, 2 episodes)
Tropes in her work include:
- Actor-Shared Background: She is a Latina in all of her roles thus far.
- Queer Character, Queer Actor: All her characters are trans women too. In Control Z it gets focused on greatly, with her character Isabela being forcibly outed and suffering for this.
- Statuesque Stunner: She is 6 feet (1.82 meters) and very beautiful (a former model), so her characters are this.
