LaCienega Boulevardez
LaCienega Boulevardez is a recurring character of the Proud Family, she is Penny Proud's nemisis turned frenemy..
History[]
She is the Hispanic frenemy of Penny Proud. She is wealthy, beautiful and was once voted by her peers as the most popular girl in school. She once spread a rumor about Penny and nerdy boy Myron Lewinski because she was mad that Penny didn't invite her to a party she threw.
Personality[]
LaCienega is overtly conceited, but deep down, she's sensitive, insecure and a jealous of Penny because she's a grounded individual. She and Penny constantly antagonize each other and Penny is usually stuck with her. In the show, LaCienega is able to convince her parents and the Prouds that she is a very sweet and moral young lady, while in the fact, she is arrogant, vain, selfish, snobbish, and obnoxious. In later episodes, Penny's mother seem to have caught onto LaCienega's good girl façade and she gradually shows her true colors more freely. Penny and LaCienega mainly hang out with each other because their parents and grandparents are best friends and they share the same social circle. However, deep down she likes Penny quite a bit, but is too arrogant to outright admit it. She is also a founding member of the R&B girl group called L.P.D.Z.
Unlike most Disney villains, LaCienega is not truly evil; however, she's certainly gotten her fair share making Penny's life a living hell.
