]Older (but not oldest) sister of Kit, Carmela is the "middle child" of the Rodriguez family. Timeline issues yet to be resolved make it unclear exactly how much older than Kit she is (see the discussion area for this page): Carmela is at least two years older than Kit, but possibly more. The middle-name initial "E" stands for "Emeda", an unusual acronym made up of the initials of the first names of three of her aunts and two of her uncles.
Nothing much is seen of Carmela in the canon until TWD, where she first appears lying around in her bedroom, watching anime (in the original Japanese). This is the first indication of an aptitude for languages which becomes more marked as the series goes on, and becomes a serious cause of personal annoyance to Kit, and general astonishment to everyone else.
It must be assumed that Carmela found out that her brother was a wizard during (or shortly after) the events of DW, at which point Kit needed to reveal the fact to his parents. Whatever the exact timing of the revelation, Carmela's attitude to Kit's wizardry seems from the start to have been more casual than that of their oldest sister Helena, who apparently thought it likely that Kit had done some kind of deal with the Devil. Conversations reported in TWD make it plain that Carmela finds the concept of wizardry at least untroubling, if not actually cool. Her quick acquisition of a basic vocabulaty in the Speech suggests that the latter is more likely.
