Ernesto Estrella

Character

Ernesto Estrella is a minor character in The Casagrandes and The Loud House, who made his first appearance in "The Horror-Scope" and "Great Lakes Freakout!", respectively.

History[]

Ernesto Estrella first appeared in "The Horror-Scope" where he was the host of a TV show that Rosa watches. He made predictions that caused Ronnie Anne to think that Lincoln Loud was in love with her.

Personality[]

Ernesto Estrella holds himself in high regard because of his status as a famous fortune-teller. As such, he was willing to cancel his appearances in several cities because of a single pimple on his forehead, lying that said cities were "cursed". Despite this, he is capable of showing sympathy and regret, as upon realizing how he made Rosa force her family to leave Great Lakes City because of his false pretense, he was willing to fix it.

Appearance[]

He is a tanned man with short blond hair, a black eyelash on each eye, and dark pink lips. He wears a male fortune teller robe with a shiny diamond in the center, and wears rings on his fingers.

Trivia[]

According to Lalo Alcaraz, Ernesto is based on the late Walter Mercado.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

- Of all the characters who debut within The Casagrandes to later appear within The Loud House, he is currently the only one to not be shown with different attire.
