“ | It's all buena! | ” |
— Buena Girl's Catchphrase
|
Buena Girl is the deuteragonist of the “¡Mucha Lucha!” series. She is Rikochet and The Flea’s classmate and best friend. She is the most knowledgeable of The Three Mascaritas and usually helps Rikochet and The Flea with various situations. She also claims to be a descendant of a Slamazonian warrior. She closely follows The Code of Masked Wrestling and will always chastise anyone who doesn’t follow the rules, even if she has to shout it out.
She is voiced by Kimberly Brooks, who also voiced Snow Pea and Cindy Slam in the first two seasons.
Description[]
"Buena Girl is a machine. She's focused, diligent and practical. She's got confidence to spare and a winning smile. However, Buena Girl's seeming perfection is also the cause of her deepest insecurities. She loves making an entrance and needs little or no excuse to bellow out her catch cry, "It's all buena!" Buena Girl knows The Code of Masked Wrestling by heart — chapter, paragraph and sub-paragraph. If it's not done by The Code, then it's not right! And that's just "not buena" with Buena Girl."
Appearance[]
Buena Girl is a short girl who is almost as tall as Rikochet, with orange-ish skin and long, purple hair styled into a large ponytail. Her mask is mostly white with two dark bluish purple streaks that have green outlines around them and dark bluish purple eye pieces. Though Buena Girl appears to be wearing a leotard, a couple of episodes reveal that her costume is actually a two-piece outfit with tights in the same color as her skin. Her shirt is white with short, close-fitting sleeves that have green and bluish-purple stripes at the edges. The bottom half of her outfit appears to combine green briefs with tights in the same color as her skin. She also wears short bluish-purple boots with green laces.
Personality[]
Buena Girl is an intelligent, confident, hard-working girl. She follows the Code of Masked Wrestling so closely that she is not afraid to call out rule-breaking. Buena Girl is also known to take cleanliness and personal hygiene very seriously, having little tolerance for filth and disorder. However, in the episode "Lucha, Rinse and Repeat", she ends up having fun with mud, after she and Rikochet were defeated by The Flea and Masked Dog in a match. In the third season, it appears that Buena Girl has gained more tolerance for trash, as in the episode "Smarticus", she did not complain or express disgust upon landing in a dumpster, after losing a gladiator match. As virtuous as she tries to be, she can be quite the perfectionist with a competitive streak and has been shown to let power and wealth get to her head.

Trivia[]
- She is the only members of The Three Mascaritas to not remove any part of their mask in any point of the series.
- She was close to taking it off in "Not So Buena Girl" but ultimately decides to keep it on.
- Buena Girl was originally known as Super Niña (meaning Super Girl in Spanish) in the pilot, but her name was changed to Buena Girl in the main series due to a name taken from Supergirl from DC Comics.[1]
- Although, her design from the original pilot remained along with the white part of her mask and costume, but the colored designs were changed in the main series.
- In Spanish and Portuguese dub, her name is translated to Buena Niña, in which her translation name is nearly similar to her original name from the pilot.
- In the early days before the show was pitched, she also originally had a cape.
- She brushes her teeth eight times a day and flosses every hour to maintain her hygiene.
- She had sharp teeth in the pilot, opening theme, and several episodes of the first season until the second season where her teeth were no longer sharp due to her character development.
- Just like Buena Dad, her mask and outfit is very similar to Mascarita Sagrada along with Máscara Sagrada.
- Buena Girl's favorite food is maple log donuts.[2]
- As Buena Girl is one of the main protagonists of the series, she was absent in a couple of episodes in Season 2, such as: "Pig Out", "Los Fabulosos", "Late Night Lucha", "Poocha Lucha", "Hot, Hot, Hot", and "Getting His Goat".
- In the third season, she was only absent for 2 episodes: "A Whole Lotta El Reys" and "Niko Sushi's Happy Battle Funtime Dome 3000!".
