Frida Suarez

**Frida Suárez** is the second main character of the show *El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera*. She is Manny's best friend and the third daughter of police chief Emiliano Suárez and judge Carmela Suárez. She tends to have a crazy and random attitude to several situations, even when it's serious.

## Biography

Normally, Frida shows up as a wild child; bordering the stereotype of an aspiring rock girl. She is also a tomboy, given the acts that she and Manny are prone to commit. However, Frida can also show different sides of her personality at times: She has the lack of thinking ideas or improvising in a flash (such as her Sartana Ballad in "Ballad of Frida Suarez").

Her most caring side of her personality is saved for Manny, puppies, small animals or Chui (in "Chupacabros!"). She is also capable of expressing great anger in many situations, usually driving her to revenge. Her anger usually gets her to want revenge; nevertheless, most of her anger and vengeful intentions target Zoe Aves for past reasons. Lastly, Frida also has a kind of romantic side, such as the very end of "Oso Sole Mio", where she exclaims sighing: "Isn't love *lovely?*" in a girly manner reminiscing to a girl with a crush.

She first appears in Back to Nickelodeon where she runs into Eddy Sampson who is looking for Mike and soon finds Frida and falls in love with her. The two then begin dating, but recently, Frida's father has disapproved of Eddy and refuses to let them see each other, though she secretly keeps in touch with him, she is unaware of Eddy obviously hitting on other girls whenever she isn't around. In the future, the two get married and have a daughter.
