Gloria Sato is a supporting character from the Disney Channel animated series Big City Greens. She is a local cafe girl who becomes friends and co-workers with Cricket Green (and, to a certain extent, his sister Tilly).
Background
Personality
Gloria is a short tempered, overworked and longing employee at Big Coffee. Much of her frustration stems from Cricket's (and by extension the rest of the Green family's) constant activities as they are situated next to her place of work. Gloria does not have time for fun and games and puts work before most other things that matter to her. Unlike Bill Green's more optimistic view of responsibility, Gloria is much more accepting of its harsher reality implying that she is something of a downer. Many unfortunate things befall her and she apparently has a string of bad luck.
On the upside, Gloria does possess an artistic side as shown in "Paint Misbehavin" and tends to take her negative aspects and express them on canvas. Over time, she has also shown to appreciate Cricket's company and seems to act like a big sister to him at times. Deep down she simply wants people to understand and respect her as it is implied that she does not have very many friends.
Physical appearance
Gloria is somewhat thin and slender, with light lilac skin and indigo hair. She wears a pink T-shirt, purple pants, gray slip-on shoes, and wears her hair in a ponytail.
When she works at Big Coffee, she dons a plain brown cap and apron, just like every other employee.
Relationships
Cricket Green
When Gloria first met Cricket Green, she immediately despised him due to his rambunctious nature. She viewed him as a nuisance and a hindrance to her work and her future goals. However, upon seeing Cricket take responsibility for his actions, and even suggesting that he work at Big Coffee to help her out, Gloria became more accepting of him. She has since shown a warmer side and has even become slightly saddened at the prospect of not having him around. She has developed an older sister like attitude towards him; annoyed at many of his antics, but willing to stick up for him.
Trivia

- Gloria apparently has a crush on a boy named Kevin, but he is with someone named Shelby who she clearly does not like.
