Senhora do Destino (Portuguese for Lady of the Destiny) was a Brazilian soap opera broadcast by TV Globo from June 28, 2004, to March 11, 2005, in 221 chapters.
In the second act, set twenty-five years later, it is revealed that Nazaré and José Carlos have lost their fortune and had to mortgage their home in order to pay various late bills.
After watching a news broadcast on Maria do Carmo, who had become a wealthy woman, talking about her missing daughter and showing a picture of young Nazaré; José Carlos finds out the truth about the daughter him and Nazaré raised and threatens to call the police on her, who in response, pushes him down a staircase, throws away his medication, leading to him suffering a cardiac arrest and passing away.
After the incident, Nazaré ends up without money, leading her to start living her life out of scams, including extorting Maria do Carmo in exchange for information about her lost daughter.
Nazaré's situation only kept getting more complicated as the story went, with her making another victim later in the drama by electrocuting Gilmar (portrayed by Roberto Bomtempo), a former accomplice of her, in a bathtub.
For many years after the airing of Senhora do Destino, Nazaré still kept being remembered by the public, and went on to become Renata Sorrah's most iconic role, with several pop culture references, the most notable one happening in the 2011 soap opera Fina Estampa, where the main antagonist, Tereza Cristina (portrayed by Christiane Torloni), after killing another character by electrocuting him in a bathtub, proceeds to say "Obrigada, Nazaré Tedesco."
[12] Throughout the 2010s, many memes were birthed onto the Brazilian internet thanks to the character, some of the most notable ones include several Top Text Bottom Text templates; a still from her final scene, showing Nazaré running with Isabel's daughter on her lap, with a crowd running after her;[13] as well as a scene where Nazaré spots two female characters talking about potentially marrying someday and thinks the line "Sapatonas... Eu sinto longe o cheiro de couro!"
The original gif, without the math problems, started to circulate on Brazilian internet around 2013, stemming from a scene where Nazaré is in jail and reflects on a conversation she had with another character.
