## Trivia

* The character comes from Lolita Pulido, who appears in the original novel, *The Curse of Capistrano*, and in the 1920 film, *The Mark of Zorro*.

* Purido ( プリド? ) , in Japanese (known as katakana), may in fact derive from the surname of a traditional character, Pulido , both from French and Spanish.

* Instead, Prideaux was chosen by the Italian production for the series. The original Lolita Pulido, however, is Diego's girlfriend, but on the contrary feels no interest in him, being in love instead of Zorro, which does not know the identity.
