Background

Season 2

Very little is known about Diego’s background, although he appeared to be a very popular kid at his high-school, and Penny Carson had a crush on him. The two lived in the same neighborhood, and Penny claims they have a “thing,” when they say “hey” to each other.

Penny is able to overcome her shyness around him and asks him to senior prom, but he rejects her. He chooses to go to prom with Lyla K., a turtle girl, over her. He is the catalyst for Penny's disastrous prom night, leading her to ask BoJack to sleep with her, after being rejected.
