**Gloria Gomez** is the mother of Jasleiney and Jaime, the middle sister between Maruchi and Flor, and the second child of Abuela. She is a pathological liar, and creates fictitious stories that are usually about her husband and/or daughter's imaginary accomplishments. Like Abuela, she also tends to throw shade at others whom she views as lesser. She is also a bit more "whitewashed" than the other members of the family, and has less of an accent than her sisters and mother.

She is also an inexperienced cook, like Maruchi, and relies on pre-packaged meals as shown in "Sangiving With Your Fancy Tía | Thanksgiving With Hispanics."

## Appearance

Gloria is a middle-aged woman with blonde, chin-length hair, and U-shaped bangs, similar to Maruchi. She often wears a small amount of makeup, with cherry-red lipstick and a little bit of eyeliner. She also wears matching earrings with a pearl necklace most of the time. Gloria has smooth skin, like all characters played by Jenny Lorenzo.

Although Gloria initially debuted in "The Different Types of Tías You Encounter During The Holidays," she made her first main appearance in the episode titled, "When your shady LATINA AUNT pays you a SURPRISE VISIT."

## Character

Gloria Gomez portrays the typical judgmental (and fancy) aunt in a Hispanic family. She is a haughty, self-absorbed, "holier-than-thou" individual who tends to throw shade on those around her, including family members. Gloria considers herself to be better than other people and even crosses the line at times. Her personality is somewhat similar to those of Abuela and Maruchi, except to a higher degree. In the episode titled "Sangiving With Your Fancy Tía | Thanksgiving With Hispanics," she claimed to Maruchi that she had spent "the entire year studying Julia Child and Rachael Ray" so that she would make a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner for the rest of her family. The ensuing prayer was unusually extended with unnecessary words, upsetting everyone at the table. This further shows her arrogance and conceited behavior.

Although Gloria is disliked by most of the other members of her family, particularly Maruchi, she has an unusual relationship with her daughter, Jasleiney. She appears to go with the flow most of the time when her mother does something mischievous or spiteful ("Sangiving With Your Fancy Tía | Thanksgiving With Hispanics"). And, she usually calls her mother "Gloria" or "mother." ("The Misu Queen (A Tiger King Parody)")

Oftentimes, Gloria invents stories to other people and family members about her daughter Jasleiney and sometimes her husband to make herself seem superior to those around her. One story invented by Gloria was when she told Maruchi (and several other people) about Jasleiney going to Japan teaching them English. After this, Jasleiney appeared next to her, contradicting her story ("Laritza Survives a CUBAN SANGIVING"). Other stories include her husband, such as when he went to Tahiti on a business trip. According to Gloria, her husband has since returned ("Abuela's Family and the CORONAVIRUS"), but it's revealed later that she and her husband are separated.

It was revealed in "Mother's Day With Your Judgy Latina Mom" that Gloria apparently has a son named Jaime, and that she hoped to see him again in Thanksgiving after previously being 5 years apart, which she successfully did ("When You Host Your First Sangiving").

## Trivia

* Gloria tends to wear high-class and elegant clothing in comparison to the clothing that her family wears, usually to show off her haughty personality. In "Sangiving With Your Fancy Tía | Thanksgiving With Hispanics," Gloria claimed to the other family members that she was going to change into her "mid-dinner attire."
* Although Gloria sports blonde hair, it is actually an open secret that she bleaches it blonde - and for which she is constantly teased at - and her natural hair is black like Flor and Jasleiney's hair ("Mother's Day Blast from the Past │Abuela's Family").
	+ It’s also revealed that much like her daughter, she had a rebellious phase growing up.
* Gloria is shown to be wealthy due to her expensive clothing and large home and resides in Coral Gables, Florida.
	+ This is exemplified in the episode, "There's Some Chores in this House (WAP Parody)," where she appears at the end of the episode mentioning that cleaning your own house "is not very classy." This implies that she might have a maid.
* Gloria has her own "theme song." ("You're a Metida, Tía Gloria (Mr. Grinch Song Parody)")
* Gloria likes cats because she claims that they are proper and are the "epitome of the optimal household pet" ("The Misu Queen (A Tiger King Parody)"). She even went as far as to say that cats are better than children, with the reason being that they "don't embarrass you in front of all your friends."
	+ Unlike Maruchi, however, she would only take in cats that are not from the street since they would otherwise be known as "rats."
	+ In the same episode, Jasleiney debunks Gloria by saying that she doesn't really own a cat, as she uses it to "impress her guests every time they come over." She also said that Gloria doesn't even notice that it isn't the same cat every time.
