Lola Martinez (Zoey 101, season 2)

Lola Martinez is one of the main characters in the Nickelodeon TV series Zoey 101 for seasons 2-4. Lola is the best friend and roommate of Zoey Brooks, Nicole Bristow and Quinn Pensky. Her other best friends are Chase Matthews, Logan Reese, and Michael Barret. Lola is a great actress and aspires to one day be a famous actress.

Background
Lola is an aspiring movie star who came to PCA after Dana moved out in season 2 Lola became the new roommate of Zoey, Nicole. Extremely dedicated to her acting aspirations, Lola can come across as an extremely driven and passionate individual. Despite her many talents and skills, she is often portrayed as rather lazy (such as deciding to nap instead of standing up and picking up the television remote, getting bored halfway through giving Quinn a makeover, or having Stacey Dillsen organize the prom for her) but always rises to the task when the situation calls for it. She is a highly flirtatious individual, having enjoyed the company of many boys over the course of the series and can sometimes be rather conceited.

Why She's Aspiring And Not Bratty In A Good Way

 * 1) Her acting skills are very unique and she also a great disguiser in some episodes. For example, in the Season 2 episode "Girls Will Be Boys", Zoey, Nicole, and Michael disguised Lola as a boy in order to stay in the boys' dorm and find out what's going on.
 * 2) A lot of male characters bring up how "hot" and "beautiful" she is, including Michael (in the episode "Lola Likes Chase") and Logan. Also, according to Dustin, all the guys in his year have a crush on Lola and think she is hot.
 * 3) She has pretty good outfits that she wears.
 * 4) Her hair colors in season 2 were very beautiful.
 * 5) She is another memorable character in the series.
 * 6) Like Zoey and Ed she is good-natured, passionate, and a driven individual.
 * 7) The actress Victoria Justice is portrayed very well in the series as the main role.
 * 8) Her relationship with Vince Blake is decent or good in season 4.
 * 9) Her goth outfit at the beginning of the episode of Season 2 "Back to P.C.A.", is very nice.
 * 10) *Speaking of that episode Zoey and Nicole thought she was, but she was only acting that way as an acting exercise to see if she could pretend to be someone completely different from herself and have people believe it.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) While she was still likeable in the last 2 seasons of Zoey 101 she got flanderized. In her early appearances, Lola could be a bit rude and snarky with her attitude, similar to Dana. From season 3 onwards, Lola becomes more friendly, funny, cheerful, and likable, getting more of a Butt-Monkey, and having more of her own personality. She also starts dressing more normal, and becoming more boy crazy.
 * 2) She becomes out of character in season 3 and becoming a punching bag.
 * 3) Her character steals most of Nicole's traits, and this was after Nicole became absent in the show. Though she kept most of her charm.
 * 4) She never met Dana Cruz.
 * 5) She can be unlikable, as seen in "Anger Management" and "The Radio."
 * 6) She also often shows hostility toward Zoey's little brother Dustin as seen in Favor chain when Zoey told her she wanted her to be Dustin's talent show assistant, Lola said she didn't want to, and added Eww.
