Carmen Elizabeth Juanita Echo Sky Brava Cortez is a fictional character in the Spy Kids films whom is played by Alexa Vega.

For most of her life Carmen had no idea her parents were secretly spies. Carmen's main concern was with her little brother Juni, whom she felt she was unfairly being forced to be babysit. "Look out for Juni, take care of Juni, make sure Juni knows right from wrong." Carmen responded by treating Juni like dirt and calling him names.

In the first Spy Kids film, a bomb shell was dropped when she and her brother discovered the truth about their parents when they were kidnapped due to their spying activites. Though Carmen and Juni fought with each other throughout their adventure, Carmen told Juni he wasn't worthless and pointed out all his accomplishments when Juni was being tormented by Carmen's robot double. Carmen also developed a sense of family, and insisted that if any Cortezs become involved in espionage, then of all of them should.

By Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams, Carmen has stopped calling her brother names, and they are able to work better as team. Problems still arise from a romantic interest Carmen develops in Gary Giggles. Juni tries to convince Carmen that Gary is trouble, but to no avail. Carmen, after a conversation with Gary's sister Gerti Giggles, changes her mind about Gary and convinces Gerti to turn aganist her father, who has an evil plan for world domination.

In Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over Carmen, an experienced hacker, goes on a quest to shut down the Toymaker's evil video game Game Over, which possesses its users. However, she makes it only as far as Level Four, before being kidnapped. Juni comes to her rescue and they continue on her quest to shut down the game.
