Luz "Lucita" Perez is a supporting character in the 2024 Disney Channel animated series Primos. She is the youngest of the primos at three years old and the most adorable and innocent.
Background[]
Personality[]
Lucita is a small and cute little girl, who, at times, displays a much more intelligent and supportive side to her. She is very comforting towards her older brother, Scooter whenever he panics and seems to acknowledge Lita's recklessness. She does occasionally show off her more manipulative side, but she is not malicious about it and does it mainly to prove a point or teach someone a lesson.
Physical appearance[]
Lucita is a stout toddler of Afro-Latina descent with curly brown hair tied into two Afro puffs, and brown eyes. She apparently wears small pink ear stubs, aqua green cochlear implants, fairy wings, a pink shirt, yellow pants with a star pattern, and aqua green shoes.
Trivia[]
- The character was originally named Cookita and remained so until the unveiling of the intro theme. The original name faced criticism due to it sounding too similar to an inappropriate Spanish word, though some Spanish speakers have refuted this claim. The name may have actually been a take off of Panamanian restaurant Cuquita Cookita, named after chef Cuquita Arias de Calvo.
- Incidentally, Lucita was what her prima Toñita was originally going to be named.
- In the original edit of "Summer of Tater", when hearing the name Cookita, Nellie exclaims, "Cookita? That's gotta be a nickname". In the final version, she asks, "Was that always her name?"
- On Disney+, the subtitles occasionally still list her as Cookita.
- In the Season 1 finale, her real name is Luz, making her the second character in Disney Television Animation to be named as such.
- Lucita, along with Gordita, ChaCha, and Baby Bud are the only Primos with defined eye colors, though in Lucita's case they only show every now and then.
- Lucita wears cochlear implants as a reference to her voice actress Sarah Tubert, who is also deaf. Lucita knows American Sign Language (ASL).
- Lucita is one of the few primos with thick limbs, the others being Big Nacho, LotLot, and Baby Bud.
