Description

She is a veterinarian, who is the widow of Manny Noceda and the mother of Luz Noceda. ## Personality AppearanceBody Camila, similar to Luz, is a Dominican-American woman with tan skin and a medium body frame and brown eyes. She originally wore her hair up in a bun with two bangs tufted outward but as time went by, she had cut her hair short, and wore it more jagged, similar in appearance to Luz. As months went by, her hair has grown out, become curlier and a streak of gray has appeared on the side. While at work, she keeps it in a ponytail.In the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming", Camila's hair is shown to have kept the same style but gained more gray streaks.ClothingWhen at working as a vet, Camila wears a set of cyan scrubs with darker, blue-rimmed sleeves, white shoes, glasses with red and black frames, and blue earrings. From "Yesterday's Lie" onward, her civilian attire is shown as a green overshirt, dark blue capri-style jeans, pink sneakers, and black earrings. In "King's Tide", she is seen wearing light pink earrings.As of "Thanks to Them", when not wearing her scrubs, she wears an orange and red sweater, a gold necklace, a badge shaped like a heart with the rainbow pride flag, large, blue earrings, blue jeans, two-tone brown boots, and glasses with golden-yellow frames. At the end of the episode, she switches to a brown flannel shirt over a black shirt with a pumpkin symbol on it while keeping her jeans and boots.When traveling through the Demon Realm, she wears her flannel shirt at a sash which doubles as a makeshift holster for her bat.In the epilogue, her glasses now have thick brown and black frames, and she wears dangling green earrings, a necklace with a lavender gem matching the jacket she wears with a white shirt underneath, khakis, and maroon heels with dark brownish-green seccions.PersonalityCamila is a very caring and protective mother who deeply loves her daughter, Luz, and always has her best interest at heart, trying her best to be there for her and to support her with good intentions in mind. Despite this, she can sometimes have difficulty understanding Luz due to her daughter's quirks. Prior to Luz’s arrival on the Boiling Isles, Camila was shown to be a very patient yet grounded parent and was often worried when Luz’s fixations with fantasy often got her into trouble at school. This eventually culminated in her sending her (Luz) away to Reality Check Camp, despite doing so hurting Luz emotionally, showing that she is capable of being hard on her daughter if she feels it’s necessary for Luz’s own good.Despite this, Camila is by no means a domineering nor closed-minded parent. Despite seemingly having to punish Luz for her behavior, Camila still did her best to support and encourage her and attempted to make the process for her as easy and comfortable as possible. Additionally, Camila, in truth, loves Luz’s eccentricities and sense of creativity, with her actions having not been to hamper these traits, but to temper them to safer levels in the hopes that doing so would allow her to finally fit in with other kids and keep her out of trouble in school. When Vee was masquerading as Luz, Camila was shown to be deeply saddened when it seemed that her time at camp had removed her creative personality and interests, while later showing relief when she joyfully mistook the real Luz’s confession about the Demon Realm as an imaginative game. This shows that Camila values Luz’s quirkiness and simply wants to ensure her daughter’s happiness, but not at the expense of everything that makes her unique.Camila is also an extremely kind and compassionate individual. Befitting her profession as a veterinarian, she possesses a strong fondness for animals and won’t tolerate any kind of cruelty shown to them. As shown in “Keeping up A-fear-ances”, Camila also has a tendency of crying while watching animal documentaries, finding them to be very moving. A key aspect of her compassion is her strong sense of acceptance and understanding. Much like Luz, Camila tends to see the best in others, judging them based on their character rather than their differences or because of societal norms. This level of acceptance has also made Camila very forgiving, as she bore no ill-will towards Vee for having taken her daughter’s identity for months, instead recognizing that she was simply a scared child looking for a place to belong and took her in without hesitation after her true identity was revealed.
