Cuca the Alligator became an international internet sensation in mid-2017, though her origins lie deep in Brazilian folklore and the children's television series 'Sítio do Picapau Amarelo.' Depicted as a humanoid alligator witch with long blonde hair and a sassy attitude, Cuca transitioned from a local legend to a global symbol of confidence and 'unbothered' energy. Internet users, particularly on Twitter, adopted her as a reaction meme to represent being a diva, being shady, or simply feeling fabulous while causing a little trouble. The meme's longevity stems from her expressive gestures and the sheer absurdity of a fashionable crocodile, making her the perfect choice for high-drama reactions and campy humor.
