Line 7:
Latin women in media (particularly American media) are usually portrayed as sultry temptresses with fierce tempers. The old westerns and pulp fiction usually depicted them as raven-haired, olive-skinned, and [[Lady in Red|red-clad]], with an accent that can melt butter. Modern portrayals, however, are usually more urban.
This character is very [[Hot-Blooded
Important Note: just because a Latina character is attractive does ''not'' neccessarily make her a [[Spicy Latina]]. A Latina played as a down to earth [[Girl Next Door]] or a bubbly [[Brainless Beauty]] is not an example of this trope because such a character lacks the ''attitude'' and ''personality'' of the [[Spicy Latina]]. Please keep this in mind while adding examples.
Line 21:
== Anime & Manga ==
* Michiko and others from ''[[
* Nadie from ''[[El Cazador
** Basically every female character in the show other than Ellis (Canadian), Blue-Eyes (White American), and Lirio (not 'spicy') is this. Though Nadie may actually be [[Indian Maiden|Zuni]].
* Lara from ''[[School Rumble]]''. While the sexiness aspect isn't played up, she's certainly a [[Hot-Blooded]] amazon.
Line 32:
== Film - Animated ==
* Audrey in ''[[Atlantis:
Line 58:
* [[Mad TV]] parodied this with Debra Wilson and Nicole Sullivan [[Fake Nationality|playing latinas]] Melina and Lita in a recurring skit.
* Angie, George's wife on ''[[The George Lopez Show|George Lopez]]''. His mother Benny fits as well, not so much the attractiveness.
* Ria Torres from ''[[Lie to Me (TV series)|Lie to Me]]'' fits this trope to a T.
* Rosie Perez (sense a trend?) played one on ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'', in an episode where her son was molested by her husband (whom he actually met while she was homeless).
* ''[[Ugly Betty]]'' is a very intentional aversion of this trope, although her sister Hilda plays it straight, as did Salma Hayek when she guest-starred.
Line 74:
* Maritza Cruz on ''[[Third Watch]]''.
* Theresa Russo, the [[Hot Mom]] on ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]''.
* [[Salma Hayek]] in her guest appearances on ''[[
* Gloria on ''[[Modern Family]]''.
* Gabrielle, played by Eva Longoria Parker, on ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. The character is decidedly "spicy" even without the stereotypical accent.
Line 115:
== Video Games ==
* Marisol from ''[[SSX
** Being voiced by [[The Mummy Trilogy
* Cynthia from ''[[Silent Hill 4]]''
* Isabela from ''[[Dead Rising]]''. [[Tsundere|Confrontational]], [[Doomed Hometown|Rough background]], [[Action Girl|Good fighter]] and all the way around [[Hello, Nurse!|Hot]].
Line 140:
** A more literal example would be Fire, who also shares the same voice actress as Hawkgirl.
* Courtney from ''[[Total Drama]]'' is Latina according to [[Word of God]] and is a noticeable [[Tsundere]].
* Cheerleader Liz Allan on ''[[The Spectacular Spider
* Done literally in ''[[South Park]]'' season 7 episode 5 "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" with a parody of a parody (you read that right) of Jennifer Lopez, "played" by Cartman's hand, performing the song "Taco Flavored Kisses".
