Maricela Melena Gutierrez is the daughter of the mayor of Miradero, and a classmate of the PALs. She is stuck up, snooty, and ladylike at the beginning but eventually warms to Lucky and the PALs despite their differences.
She delights in refined clothing and singing and usually detests horses but soon she begins to like them after meeting Mystery. She lives in a large house directly across the street from the ramada.
