Character
Ana Torres
Ana Torres in grown-ish (2018), played by Francia Raisa.
Ana Torres is Zoey's college roommate at Cal U, a devout Catholic and outspoken conservative who has no patience for the campus's looser attitudes toward sex, drugs, or partying. Ambitious and blunt, she says what she thinks without softening it, positioning herself as the voice of restraint in a friend group inclined toward chaos.
Francia Raisa plays Ana with total conviction rather than caricature, so her strait-laced politics land as personality instead of punchline. The show uses her to needle its more liberal characters honestly, and Raisa's comic timing keeps her righteousness funny rather than preachy, making her the friend who'll argue you into the ground and still make you laugh doing it.
