Señora Zapata is the owner and caretaker of the San Lorenzo Orphanage. She is voiced by Carla Jimenez.
Appearance[]
She is a woman of average height and black hair. She wears a blue dress with a white undershirt and a tattered apron. Her hair is always up in a bun. And has blue eye shadow.
Personality[]
She hates outsiders and tends to be cranky, often being angry and screaming. However, deep down she does have a good heart considering San Lorenzo wouldn't let someone with a bad heart. She tends to be judgmental of people, especially outsiders. Part of her anger appears to be implied by the fact that she is lonely, since it is mentioned she once had a good date with a goblin but he never called her back (which left her with a prejudice towards goblins) and Toby mentions in episode 3 she cries of loneliness. In episode 8, she was shown holding a romance novel and cuddling it. She even kissed a thief in episode 23. She is particularly suspicious of Puss's actions, but nonetheless the two tolerate each other and work together. She can also, when necessary, admit she is wrong such as admitting she was wrong about Cleevil being bad, and was relived when Cleevil survived Duchess's attack.
Background[]
Had a bad experience with a goblin before the series takes place, which is why she is so distrustful of Cleevil when she first arrives. She doesn't like anyone new arriving at the place, and deeply cares about the orphans.
Relationships[]
Dulcinea[]
She does not exactly dislike Dulcinea. It is just that her method of taking care of the orphans is different. While Dulcinea is caring and patient with the orphans, Señora Zapata tends to have a more strict and stern caretaking style. She overall thinks that Dulcinea is okay but it is just they have opposite personalities and opposite views on how to raise children.
Puss in Boots[]
She hates him but loves him. At first, she sees him as not trustworthy and a filthy thief since he is from the outside world. She also proves her point about this opinion when Puss steals a coin from the town, causing the protective force field around San Lorenzo to vanish. However, throughout the series, she warms up to Puss but still, sorts of hates him.
Orphans[]
Although she is strict and more sterner with the children than Dulcinea, she cares very much about the children's well being. She used to dislike one particular orphan (Cleevil) because she is a goblin and assumed all goblins were bad (it also could be a biased opinion since it is hinted that she had romantic feelings for a goblin she dated but he never called her back). She did have a change heart when Cleevil ended up saving the town and Puss from the Duchess.
Trivia[]
