Other Characters

Ron Navarro

Played by: Francisco Bass

• Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Ron is implied to be against Ian wanting to become a famous youtuber with his amount of technological devices. His reaction when Ian playfully flies his drone all over him indicates that it isn't the first time Ian had done this before, telling him that he should make the most of his time by focusing on his school studies and making him stop by threatening to call off the upcoming purchase of a console he wants. Ron doesn't forbid him from achieving such wild dreams, though.
• Freudian Excuse: Ron's reason to not wanting Steffi to know the truth about her birth mother comes from the fact that when he met her back at Cielo Grande, Steffi's grandparents did not approve the relationship due to her coming from a poor background and when she gave birth to Steffi, and Luz as well, they forced him to kept both sisters separated from each other. Later on, Steffi's true mother turns out to be Luz's mother Cynthia, the very same woman Ron met years ago.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: It is one thing for Ron to take good care of Steffi but another serious one is to hide a family truth that she deserves to know. The fact that Steffi's grandparents disapproved of Ron's relationship with Cynthia and forcing him to separate both her and Luz from each other didn't give him the right to lie to his own daughter for years or even make up a story that he hoped would be enough for her to be kept at bay. Even if Ron's intentions were out caring, it still doesn't justify it.
• Liar Revealed
• Parents as People: Ron loves Steffi very much that he doesn't want to see her suffer. When the truth about him and Cynthia being Steffi and Luz's respective parents came out, Ron believed that Cynthia didn't love Steffi, which is obviously not true, causing him to try and stop her from investigating out of caring.
