Meet the La Cucaracha Characters

Eddie

Eddie is a happy-go-lucky, optimistic young Mexican-American who sometimes doesn't quite pay attention to the little details of life. Eddie doesn't really think there's much wrong with the world, not that he thinks too much about it either way. (That's what his roommate Cuco is there to lecture him about!) He is just an average blue-collar guy heading into a white-collar world rife with possibilities.


La Cucaracha (aka Cuco Rocha, his human name)
La Cucaracha is Eddie's roommate and politically radical alter ego. He is a super-cool Chicano hipster, but he occasionally goes off the deep end when pointing out other people's faults. Although Cuco rages on and on about politics and the injustices of the world, he could use a little more initiative when it comes to actually doing something about them. Oh, and by the way, he is a man-sized, anthropomorphic cucaracha!

Neto

Neto
Eddie's little brother is the short attention span, Net generation kid who absorbs the world through media, music and the Internet. He is a quiet bicultural teenager who bounces effortlessly between the worlds of roc en Español, hip-hop, mariachi rap and Amish grunge. Technologically savvy, Neto still lacks good human interaction skills -- he'd rather stay home downloading files and creating Web animation than be out at a park or a concert.


Vero (aka Veronica)
Vero is Eddie's exasperated girlfriend. She is a strong-willed young Latina who doesn't take any guff from the world and is 100 times more practical than the rest of the cast. Like anyone, she is susceptible to the occasional emotional rant, especially when her patience is stretched thin by the "dumb guys" around her.
