Gwennifer Malfeo is an antagonist in the animated series Primos. She is the older sister of The Skid and is Tater Ramirez Humphrey's worst enemy.
Background[]
Gwennifer is the embodiment of malice wrapped in a Pigeon Scout uniform—or at least, that's what she wants everyone to believe. With a reputation for being tough, calculating, and utterly ruthless, she's made it her mission to terrorize our protagonist, Tater, from the moment they could toddle. Her Resting Sneer Face is legendary, always ready to curl into a smirk with the perfect biting comeback to put anyone in their place. Flanked by her two loyal Pigeon Scout minions, who are ever at her beck and call, Gwennifer reigns supreme, orchestrating every cruel prank and plot with the precision of a general.
But beneath that ironclad exterior lies a secret—Gwennifer harbors a deep, all-consuming crush on Tater's cousin, Bud. Bud, with his laid-back, granola-loving vibes, is the only person who can make Gwennifer's icy façade melt. In his presence, she becomes a bundle of nerves, stumbling over her words and turning into an awkward goofball who can barely manage a coherent sentence. Her usual swagger vanishes, replaced by a shy, almost endearing clumsiness that she'd die before letting anyone else see.
As soon as Bud leaves the room, though, the mask snaps back into place. Gwennifer regains her composure, slipping effortlessly back into her role as the queen of mean, barking orders at her minions and ensuring that Tater remains firmly under her thumb. She's cunning, sly, and knows she's in charge—at least until Bud walks back into the room.
Personality[]
Like her brother, Gwennifer is very obnoxious and disrespectful towards other people, including the Ramirez-Humphrey family. In "Summer of Super No Entiendo 64" and "Summer of Gwenship", she is shown to take pleasure in bullying and tormenting other kids, especially Tater. Also similar to the Skid, she has a knack for playing cruel and harmful pranks.
However, another side to Gwennifer is shown whenever she is around Cousin Bud, whom she developed a crush on. Her usual nasty behavior is instantly replaced with a shy and awkward demeanor, while also blushing and fawning over the older boy.
Physical appearance[]
Gwennifer is a short pre-teen girl of Latina descent who is possibly a year older than the Skid and Tater. She has brown skin and darker brown hair that takes up most of her head with two pigtails. Her eyes are deeply shadowed, and she has a sharp tooth that sticks out of her mouth. She is usually in her Pigeon Scout uniform which consists of a black beret with a green patch and a feather, a light grey shirt with a dark grey collar and trim, dark grey shorts, white ruffle socks and black Mary Janes. She also wears a sash which contains an assortment of patches.
