## Other versions

### Chiquititas Brasil

#### Fábio

Even though there are no versions of Flor in the Brazilian version, we can say that Fábio is an adaptation of Flor as Thiago is of Tamara. Since the Brazilian version was already implementing changes faster to include more boys in the story, those two new characters were replaced by boys. Fábio is Japanese, like Flor is jewish, a way for the show to explore those cultural narratives.
