Maria Casagrande-Santiago is Bobby and Ronnie Anne's mother on The Loud House and its spin-off The Casagrandes. Prior to the events of The Casagrandes, Maria raised her kids as a single parent following her divorce (though she does still get along well with her ex-husband, Arturo), but disliked the fact that her job as a nurse meant she couldn't spend much time with her kids. Eventually, she transferred to the Great Lakes City hospital and, along with her kids, moved to the apartment building run by her parents, Rosa and Hector Casagrande.
Biography[]
The Loud House[]
Maria made her first appearance in "Shell Shock", where she came home in a fluster, having done a lot of work at the hospital. She kindly greeted Lincoln when she came home and was delighted to see that Ronnie Anne had done all her chores and kindled congratulated her.
In "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", Maria took Ronnie Anne and Bobby and moved them back to The Casagrande Apartment to live with them, thinking it was the right decision to make. When she heard that Ronnie Anne didn't want to move, she agreed to take her back home. However, the street cats came by and destroyed the apartment, so they had no choice other than to stay in The Casagrande Apartment, which Ronnie Anne was forced against her own will to get used to but thanks to Maria, she helped her get adjusted to her new life.
In "The Loudest Thanksgiving", Maria returned home, covered in blood after saving someone's life by doing a horrific surgery on them. However, it was revealed that this was actually just a ketchup packet that exploded on her in the hospital cafeteria. She and Ronnie Anne teamed up to try and get Bobby to stay with them for Thanksgiving.
