As high school drama escalates in the iWant Original series “Miss Behave,” five female students of State Omni-Standard High School (S.O.S.H.) face betrayal when their private photos are leaked across campus. As suspicion turns into a fight for justice, they band together to seek revenge and unmask the culprit responsible for their downfall.
One of the victims is Nyx Rodriguez, portrayed by Xyriel Manabat. While the series thrives on mystery and suspense, Nyx stands out with her wit, charm, and geek-loving spirit—qualities that define her character. It’s no surprise that yellow is the perfect color for her, as its vibrant hue reflects her lively personality.
This endearing side of Nyx also makes the role a fitting one for Xyriel, who exudes the same positive energy in real life. Just like her character, Xyriel brings that same spark behind the camera. Her genuine interactions with the cast turn the filming days of “Miss Behave” into memorable behind-the-scenes moments that viewers love to see.
It wouldn’t be a fun set without Xyriel’s quirkiest and most charming selfies. Bringing a lighthearted vibe to the set through her self-portraits, she posed in her school uniform and a yellow dress that perfectly matches Nyx’s vibrant persona in “Miss Behave.”
She also shared a sweet moment with DJ Durano, who plays Victor, Nyx’s supportive adoptive father. Their photo gave viewers a glimpse of his appearance in the second episode.
While Nyx is known for her kikay and bubbly fashion sense, Xyriel teased fans with a fresh look as she sported a boy-cut hairstyle. In one of the behind-the-scenes stills, she is seen with “Miss Behave” director Ivan Andrew Payawal, receiving instructions before shooting a scene for the second episode.
The bond between Nyx and the other “Miss Behave” girls also radiated off-screen as Xyriel shared candid moments with Alexa Ilacad (Marla) and Rans Rifol (Daphne). Their selfies captured the cast’s genuine friendship and camaraderie, giving viewers a glimpse of the fun and connection that happen behind the drama.
Apart from this tight-knit friendship, the kilig continues between Xyriel and her onscreen partner, Raven Rigor, who plays Ant, Nyx’s boyfriend. Raven and Xyriel mirrored Nyx and Ant’s sweet exchanges in the series, staying just as close even off-script. Their photos left fans swooning over their beloved ship, “AntNyx.”
Though we’ve witnessed the ups and downs Nyx has faced throughout the series, Xyriel delivered a nuanced portrayal that captured both the character’s chaotic side and lighter moments. Her chemistry with Raven, both on and off camera, was a delight to watch, while her effortless comedic timing, paired with gut-wrenching dramatic scenes, added depth to Nyx’s arc—leaving us eager to see more of her as the story heads toward its final episode.
