Carmen characters and their 2026 World Cup teams
looking back I should’ve made a separate tier for those who don’t watch football cause mid through I changed this from what countries their from to who they’d support
(tiers with 2 flags support both nations)
a few things:
•I’d think Julia would root for Scotland as well, not just England. Roundabout and the Mechanic are specifically from London but Julia has only been labelled as British-Asian.
•Putting Mime Bomb for France only because he’s a mime (his nationality was never mentioned I think)
•Carmen’s mother (not on this tier list creator) would be for Mexico, I like to think she and Carmen would watch together :)
•Using the wiki was mad confusing (it states that Zari was Iranian but I don’t know where that was stated so I put her in the last tier)
Julia is specifically half British half Chinese—stated in "Who in the World is Carmen Sandiego" (the book)
As for Zari from what I've been told it was stated in an interview, though its understandable to be confused if it isnt properly cited
@confetti-smoker you would know more about that than me
I believe Zari is Iranian! (they say Persian in this interview which is the same thing) Oh and Zari is her last name- it’s like how Julia is called Agent Argent, sticking to the Agent [Last Name] format!
+ Julia’s voice actor said she's from Hong Kong! Which, due to british occupation, is why she has a British accent!
^ I'm unsure if that is retconned with Julia being half british half chinese as stated in the book- Just bringing that up since her VA makes it sound like she isn't wasian she's just from Hong Kong- when in the book she is wasian + recent convo with my Hong Konger friend about how if you're from Hong Kong you'd say Hong Kong rather than Chinese- usually.
I like to think she's from Hong Kong though because of this yay :)
