Crash Tag Team Racing[]
Pasadena is first seen with Ebenezer Von Clutch and Willie Wumpa Cheeks discussing where to find more racers. A little while later, she introduces herself to the bandicoots and Team Cortex, stating she's racing for Von Clutch and promises to beat Cortex. Over the course of the story, she has Crash find a crystal, a starter and coins in order to buy her cars and get them running. She also uses this time to openly flirt with him. Despite her feelings for him, she briefly believed, along with everyone else that Crash stole the park gems only for Willie to admit it. After Crash stopped Willie from escaping, Pasadena along with Coco and Crunch confronted Willie, only to witness his destruction to Cortex and celebrated after Crash and Crunch sent Team Cortex flying. Pasadena was devastated when Von Clutch died but instantly cheered up when Crash shot his black power gem into Von Clutch's open chest and brought him back to life. After Crash accidentally knocked out Von Clutch and left, Pasadena is left shocked along with Coco and Crunch.

Characteristics[]
Physical description[]
Pasadena is a female anthropomorphic opossum with light peach fur and a very pale muzzle. Her snout is somewhat pointed, resembling a mouse or rat and her nose is pink. Her eyes are green in color; she appears to wear pinkish eyeshadow and faint pink lipstick. Her hair is dirty blond in color and worn in tightly pulled back pigtails that stick out of her pink hat, which has a dark pair of goggles on them. She has a long tail, which she can use as a prehensile.
Pasadena wears a sky blue jacket with dark blue markings and noticeable shoulder pads. Around her neck, she wears a pink scarf/cloth, while her pants match her top. She also has dark gloves and boots, with lighter blue at the toes.
In Nitro-Fueled, Pasadena is now almost as tall as all the members of the Nitro Squad. She has visible fangs (befitting her species), larger eyes, longer and lighter hair, more detailing on her clothes, a longer scarf, and the back of her hat now has a large blue star while her jacket sleeves have bright yellow stars in place of her circles.
Personality[]
Pasadena is a bold, sassy, and fiercely competitive racecar driver with a Southern flair. She thrives in the no-holds-barred races of Von Clutch's MotorWorld, aiming to secure the park for its owner. She freely throws shade at opponents and teases Crash with playful flirtations, often evoking a flustered reaction from Crash. Despite this, she is clearly more focused on racing than romance. She is loyal to Von Clutch and deeply cares for him, being struck with grief when his fate appears sealed. She is keenly observant, being familiar enough with MotorWorld to spot irregularities such as Wumpa Whip residue at the scenes of stolen Power Gems. Resourcefully, she relies on Crash to gather items and funds to keep her vehicles competitive, all while delivering folksy humor and Southern charm.
