The off-camera development of La Piñata
I think La Piñata went through some character development off-screen.
At the beginning of the series, both the wrestling audience and even some of her classmates didn’t seem to like her very much. You can notice this in “Music Man.”
For example, Ricochet appears to have fans taking pictures of him, while the same doesn’t happen with La Piñata.
One possible—and perhaps the strongest—reason for this is her personality. She comes across as tough, a sore loser, and vengeful. In the same episode, after Ricochet defeated her, he gave her the mariachi band as a “prize,” but we all know how that ended.
In “Day of the Piñata,” she can also be quite bossy. It’s also possible that, much like Muscle Man from Regular Show, she simply has an unusual way of showing affection. She tends to joke around or make rather rough jokes at with of the people she cares about the most. it be called teasing or playful roasting. One example is when she grabbed Sumo Sonic’s belly in “Election Daze.”
However, by the time “Brains Meets Brawn” takes place, things seem very different. Besides making a grand entrance (she definitely understands the importance of making an impression and The presentation), the entire crowd cheers for her, applauds her, y la aclamaban.
In several background scenes, she can also be seen socializing with other characters, suggesting that she eventually became much more accepted by both her classmates and the fans of lucha libre.
