Gloria Sato is a supporting character of Big City Greens, who is portrayed by Anna Akana.
Background[]
She is a local café girl who becomes friends and co-workers with Cricket Green (and, to a certain extent, his sister, Tilly). After losing both her job and her money to pay rent, she is forced to stay with the Green family (as of "Chipocalypse Now") and she eventually manages to open the Gloria + Green Café in the Season 2 finale.
Personality[]
Gloria is a short tempered, overworked, and longing employee at Big Coffee. Much of her frustration stems from Cricket's (and by extension the rest of the Green family's) constant activities as they are situated next to her place of work. Gloria does not have time for fun and games and puts work before most other things that matter to her. Unlike Bill Green's more optimistic view of responsibility, Gloria is much more accepting of its harsher reality implying that she is something of a downer. Many unfortunate things befall her, and she apparently has a string of bad luck.
Physical appearance[]
Gloria is very young, presumably in her 20s. She is somewhat tall, thin, and slender, with light lilac skin and cerulean hair. She wears a pink T-shirt, purple pants, gray slip-on shoes, and wears her hair in a ponytail (which she gonna kept it down in Season 3).
When she works at Big Coffee, she dons a plain brown cap and apron, just like every other employee.
Trivia[]
- Gloria came from the suburbs, similar to how Cricket came from the country.
- Gloria has a parakeet that does not love her and has a habit of repeating very personal things she says such as the fact that she is always eating tubs of ice cream in one go due to stress.
- Concept art implied that Gloria was going to be more stuck up and conservative, based on her clothing (a long sleeve sweater and her hair done up in a bun). She also had a much more stick-like stance and figure which made her look older. This was most likely changed to make the character more relatable and likable.
- Gloria dreams about going to Paris due to its culture's fascination with art and love. Her obsession with it implies that she suffers from a form of Paris Syndrome, or is simply a Francophile.
- Gloria is well versed in Tae Kwon Do and is shown to be capable of handling herself as seen in "Coffee Quest". However, her Tae Kwon Do is shown to be ineffective when she is up against a much larger opponent as seen in "Chipocalypse Now".
- Gloria moved to Big City when she graduated from college, and she's lived there for three years. This would mean that she is at least 23 or 24 years old.
- Gloria's voice actress, Anna Akana, does the role of Sasha from another Disney Channel animated series Amphibia.
- Ironically Gloria's situation after "Chipocalypse Now" (having to live in the basement of the house of a family of farmers due to having nowhere else to go), is quite similar to that of Sasha's friend-turned-enemy, Anne Boonchuy.
- Gloria's personality is somewhat similar to that of Candace Flynn from another Disney Channel animated series Phineas and Ferb.
- Interestingly, in Portugal, both Candace and Gloria share the same voice actress: Carla Garcia.
