Manuel Alberto Javier Alejandro Ramirez "Manny" Delgado is the Colombian-American son of Gloria from her previous marriage to Javier.
Biography
Manny was born on January 4, 1999 in Florida to Gloria Delgado. His parents divorced shortly after, as he stated in "Larry's Wife" that he had spent many nights watching Mary Poppins alone while his mother was driving a taxi. Though Manny was raised solely by his mother, he still thinks highly of his father as seen during his visits ("The Bicycle Thief").
Personality
Manny is portrayed as very mature and intuitive for his age and is often shown doing adult-like things, such as having deep emotional conversations with adults ("Come Fly With Me"), drinking coffee ("Coal Digger") and handling problems like a grown-up, which seem to always confuse his step-father Jay.
He is shown to know a wide range of literature, music and arts, even baking and alcoholic beverages ("New Year's Eve"). Gloria says that he gets his romanticism from his father who is very passionate.
He is also shown to be cunning and sneaky, seeing through the scheming of the adult members of the family, much to Jay's annoyance ("Strangers in the Night"). Despite his eccentricity, Manny remains a good person and is polite to everyone he meets.
Manny has also shown courage in expressing his feelings even at a young age, especially to girls she likes, though frequently gets his heart broken. During the early seasons, he seemed to have developed a crush on Haley.
Manny later becomes popular at school after Cam recruits him to the football team.
Education
Manny is a 2017 Palisades High School graduate. There, he received am offer for six colleges, two of which are Boston University and University of Michigan. It is mentioned in Commencement that Manny attends the California Institute of Arts.
Appearance
At the start of the series, Manny was a young, overweight boy of average height.
In Season 10, Manny is a short, overweight young man. Manny is shown to care immensely about his appearance and making the right impression. He is always seen wearing oversize guayaberas (short-sleeved shirts) or suits, and never in T-shirts like the other children. He is also seen to have a penchant for fedora hats mainly because of his fondness for jazz and Frank Sinatra. He once went to school wearing a poncho to show that he is proud of his Colombian heritage ("Run for Your Wife"). Claire remarks that he "dresses like a count" ("Coal Digger").
