Jay says that Gloria likes to celebrate even little events he would consider insignificant (" Two Monkeys and a Panda"). A devout Catholic, Gloria is shown to value strong family ties and religion above all else.
GLORIA CHIMEX FULL
She is shown to be very proud of her Colombian roots and insists on carrying on several of her Colombian traditions with her new family, and encourages Manny to learn more Spanish (" Queer Eyes, Full Hearts"). She frequently uses her good looks and sexy features to her advantage, which is why she becomes frustrated when she tries to help Claire's campaign for office using the telephone, as people do not see her and respond as she wants (" Election Day").
Gloria also states that all friends of Jay have hit on her, except Shorty (" Fifteen Percent"). She is shown to enjoy the limelight, as she makes effort to be noticeable especially when it comes to her appearance and tends to get jealous when other women get more attention than her, as seen when she fires attractive female babysitters from her house so they don't outrank her (" The Help"). When angered or frustrated, she has a tendency to rant vociferously in Spanish. When two teens egged her house on Halloween, she charged after them screaming "You put egg on my house, I kill what you love!". She also has a considerable temper which is comparable to a volcano: sudden, destructive and with many casualties. She often feels that her race is a problem with people, such as failing to hail a cab which she immediately blames on her being a Latina only for Haley to point out that its just a yellow car. Due to her fiery nature, she often clashes with Claire, another strong female. She is shown to be very expressive in her speech often imitating the sounds of things when she does not know what to call it, and shouting loudly when she is upset.
GLORIA CHIMEX DRIVERS
Gloria is often characterized by her loud, outspoken attitude noticeable even from a distance that one neighbor once thought they own a parrot (" Unplugged") her voice is known for driving the next-door neighbor's dog mad, setting off car alarms and scaring several drivers into pulling over because it reached a pitch akin to a police or ambulance siren. Gloria later comes over to thank Jay thinking it was for her (" Fulgencio"). Jay (who could only see Sonia as Gloria's back is turned to him) sent a pie over to Sonia but she missed it as she went to the bathroom. Gloria met her husband Jay at a diner while she was with Sonia. Jay said he used to sweat a lot while visiting her apartment, having to climb three flights of stairs.
She was also formerly a spokesmodel, mover and a philosophy professor.
GLORIA CHIMEX DRIVER
She used to be a cab driver and a hairdresser at a salon near her apartment in the slums. It is also in Florida where she gave birth to Manny in 1999. Until the events in " Goodnight Gracie", she was wanted in Florida for subletting an apartment which her roommate turned into a brothel after she left. She also stayed in Texas and Florida for some time, both of which she became wanted by the police. Jay mentions that she had been deported twice (" Open House of Horrors"). This would later cause friction between the two (" Fulgencio"). She used the letter and ends up leaving instead of her sister. When she was younger, she received a letter addressed to her sister Sonia with an opportunity to leave for the US. Gloria was also very jealous of Sonia, who their father got on better with, and it appears that Gloria resented Sonia for this (“ A Tale of Three Cities”). Gloria also frequently mentions that she used to join (and win) beauty pageants where she showcased her ventriloquist dummy Uncle Grumpy, later seen to be strikingly similar to Jay (" Yard Sale"). Crazily traditional, Gloria firmly believes in superstitions and that her family is cursed because her great-great-grandfather made a deal with the devil, causing many of her relatives to end up in jail (" Larry's Wife"). She states that she had her own machete when she was young (" Fizbo"), and has considerable comfort in murdering animals due to relatives who are butchers (" Unplugged").
GLORIA CHIMEX MANUAL
Living in a poor village, she is evidently used to doing manual labor and frequently implies violence as a solution to problems. She has many siblings, including her younger sister Sonia and two unnamed brothers. Gloria was born in Colombia to Pilar and Fulgencio Ramirez.
