* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Most notably to [[WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst Cedric]], as Mateo fills the role of Sofia's wizard/sorcerer aide in the "Secret of Avalor" special. Both hail from families of respectable magic lineage, but while Cedric received formal schooling for his abilities, Mateo had no choice but to teach himself. And whereas Cedric was rather jaded and bitter from years of being told he could never live up to his predecessors, Mateo's main motivation is to become as great a wizard as his grandfather. Aside from their occupations, they share many traits in common, such as doting (if at times overbearing) mothers, grade school-age apprentices, and funnily enough, a subplot where they were both enamored with a villainess in disguise.

[[spoiler:It isn't until season 3 that Elena discovers that Esteban did indeed sell them out to Shuriki. While Victor was right about it, the fact remains that he ''still'' left out ''his'' own involvement in it, showing that he’s willing to omit certain facts just to save his own skin]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He betrayed the Royal Family (and by extension, all of Avalor), he betrays Elena and her family while trying to steal Lucia's tiara, and intended to betray [[spoiler:Shuriki until Elena did her in]]. Though given that [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves he's been on the opposite end of this]], [[IgnoredEpiphany it's a wonder that he hasn't learned his lesson]]. Fittingly, his AnimalMotif is a scorpion, a nasty insect known for having a stinger on its tail that faces forward.
* CoDragons: He and Carla are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole [[TheDragon dragon]]. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on]].
* CreepyCrossdresser: He disguises as an old woman in "Science Unfair", and thinks he looks rather fetching.
* CryingWolf: Victor constantly deceives others and lies his way out of every situation, not to mention pulling a fast one on others. Since he’s shown himself to be a liar, Elena just doesn’t believe him about Esteban helping Shuriki invade Avalor.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears a dark suit, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In "Snow Place Like Home", he magically conjures a snowstorm that was merely intended to distract Gabe and the Royal Guard, [[GoneHorriblyRight but it winds up becoming far bigger than intended]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard to his and Carla's detriment]].
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The ending of "The Lightning Warrior" averts this, and indicates he isn't to expect Elena to forgive him anytime soon for all his crimes against Avalor, which he accepts and understands. But, his and Carla's overly sympathetic portrayal in Marlena's song in "Coronation Day" suggests otherwise]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** For whatever kind of person he was in his youth, he really did seem to care about Esteban and was hurt when he did nothing to stop him from getting exiled by Shuriki.
** He loves his daughter dearly. The best example is "Snow Place Like Home", with Victor carrying Carla through a blizzard when she can no longer walk, and her snuggling her head against him happily. Her almost getting injured in "The Magic Within" [[spoiler:is also enough for him to have the two of them quit their evil careers.]]
** Victor does seem to care about his father, considering he calls out Esteban for letting Shuriki banish him ''and'' his family.
** Despite the lover's quarrel between them, he does love his wife. [[spoiler:But as Ash no longer reciprocates those feelings and is willing to put Carla in danger, he no longer loves her either.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, he was already evil, [[spoiler:but his transformation into a malvago also transforms his clothes, giving him a dark cloak with scorpion motifs]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Victor was a good friend of Elena, and they've known each other since childhood, until he betrayed her at Carnaval. [[spoiler:Then Elena finds out he and Esteban betrayed her and her family for Shuriki]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he refuses to have him and Carla continue with Ash on the quest for power. Well, now that he's been petrified, he won't be going ''anywhere''.]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Esteban both felt like {{No Respect Guy}}s, feeling as if they'd never nearly amount to how appreciated their family and colleagues were, leading to them betraying them to Shuriki. Neither of them were happy when Shuriki didn't follow through with some parts of her end of the deal, but Esteban regrets his decision yet wants to hide from it while Victor doesn't seemed to have learned anything, is letting [[HistoryRepeats history repeat]], and would rather blame Esteban for not sticking up for him. Additionally, Victor has no partner or family besides his daughter Carla while his relationship with his father after their exile is unknown, while Esteban has no family of his own but is surrounded by his cousins and grandparents. Even their roles in season 3 become different: [[spoiler:while Esteban pulled a FaceHeelTurn as he become a wanted criminal siding with Ash and their group of villains, Victor pulled a HeelFaceTurn as he chooses to make amends to Elena for all he has done to her and Avalor. Additionally, Avalor's history completely demonizes Esteban and disregards anything good he did prior to his betrayal being discovered, whereas Victor's previous villainy is completely ignored and he's treated as if he were the victim]].
* FreudianExcuse: [[UnreliableExpositor Supposedly]], according to Victor, he was never treated with respect, even as a child.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* GoodParents: "Good" might not describe his parenting, but [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he loves his daughter Carla deeply]] and treats her kindly, though he seems to spoil her a lot unlike Shuriki who bosses her around. [[spoiler:He even [[PapaWolf carries her through a blizzard when she can no longer walk]], and Carla nearly dying on the way to Takaina is enough to have him declare he's done with the dark pursuits. Unfortunately, [[AbusiveParents Ash]] doesn't share the same feeling.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He appears to be jealous of Esteban since, as a technical member of the royal family, he was able to get away with more of his trouble-making antics as a kid than Victor could. That Esteban, in Victor's view anyway, suffered no consequences for helping Shuriki rise to power while he got banished afterward was the final straw for him. Fittingly, his eyes are colored green.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:along with Carla, he solidifies his turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue. He even makes amends with Elena, with him and Carla helping to cook when she can't as well as him and Elena reminiscing over the times they played together with Esteban.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he realizes that all these evil schemes aren't worth it if Carla's safety is endangered. Unfortunately, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Ash doesn't agree]].]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, he and Carla just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths: In their debut episode, it is established that Victor and his father were family friends of the royal family, and despite Victor practically being raised at the palace as Esteban's best friend, "A Spy In the Palace" reveals that he always felt that people put him down and treated him like a joke. He likely [[SpoiledBrat spoils his daughter]] because he doesn't want her to have a similar experience growing up.
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Gets one when he becomes a malvago.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:InUniverse. Avalor's history completely ignores his villainy prior to his HeelFaceTurn and he and Carla are treated as the victims]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki didn't reward them or turned on them.
** He's betrayed by two people he loved, [[WeUsedToBeFriends Esteban]] and [[spoiler:Ash]], both people who have trouble [[NeverMyFault taking responsibility for their actions and how they've affected other people, though he has it out more for the former]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: When he admonishes Esteban for doing nothing when Shuriki banished him, Esteban tells him that he had no choice. Victor shoots back "you always have a choice". He conveniently overlooks the fact that he ''chose'' to ally himself with Shuriki, and that his banishment was a consequence of that choice.
* IgnoredEpiphany: He's bitter over his betrayals by Esteban and [[spoiler:Ash]], but [[spoiler:trusts Shuriki enough again to believe that she'll make him and Carla into malvagos once her evil plan succeeds, even though she's shown in the past that she doesn't follow up with her deals. Granted, he and Carla planned to betray ''her'' once her scheme succeeded, but who knows if that would've worked out.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He [[spoiler:doesn't care how much pain he caused by helping Shuriki take over Avalor. All he cares about is that Shuriki banished him while rewarding Esteban, and Esteban did nothing to stop it. When Esteban insists he had no choice after Shuriki killed Elena's parents, Victor blows him off. Victor doesn't even stop to consider that maybe he was ''lucky'' for being banished rather than having to live in fear and misery under Shuriki's oppression like Esteban was.]]
** Subverted in regards to anything regarding [[MoralityPet Carla]]. [[spoiler:In fact, her almost dying in "The Magic Within" while escaping with Ash is what causes his HeelRealization, while Ash remains firm about being selfish.]]
* ItsPersonal: No matter what his goals are, his hatred for Esteban is ''very'' personal, and he wants to see him lose.
* LargeHam: Not as much as Carla, but he has his moments, like in their VillainSong.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He gets imprisoned for his actions in "Naomi Knows Best", which is fitting.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Eventually Carla's antics rub off on him, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LethalChef: Subverted. He and Carla know how to make delicious food--his only flaw with this is that he adds more pepper than necessary.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe himself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to his family]]). [[spoiler:Until his HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
%%* ManipulativeBastard:
* MeanBoss: [[spoiler:Him repeatedly insulting Cruz leads to him and Vestia ditching Victor and Carla.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Victor]] was considered to be the more capable between him and [[AlwaysSecondBest Esteban]], and he also has an ego [[BadassBoast ("I put the Victor in victory!")]]. Doubles as an IronicName, because he feels like the NoRespectGuy.
* MilesGloriosus: "The Jewel of Maru" shows that for all his bluster, he is scared easily by ghosts. "The Lightning Warrior" also has him scared easily by a creature he saw in the ocean, panicking in the process.
* MissingMom: Victor's mother and Carla's paternal grandmother is never mentioned.
* NoRespectGuy: He feels this way, which is what motivates his villainy.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Like his daughter, he's no slouch, as he can be pretty effective as well. For example, the plan to free Marimonda to obtain the jewel Shuriki needed to regain her youth while the heroes focused on trying to stop Marimonda so Victor and Carla could easily get away goes off perfectly and without a hitch. And despite having no magic, he manages to hold his own as [[TheRival a rival]] to Fiero in "The Scepter of Night".
* OlderThanHeLooks: Victor is around his early 60s, but he still doesn't look that much different from when he was younger.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Snow Place Like Home", he carries Carla in his arms to their house ''through a blizzard'' when she strains her leg and can no longer walk.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Downplayed. His disguise as an old woman looks suspicious enough that Naomi can at least recognize that it's a man, not a woman.
* PercussivePickpocket: Elena's grandparents comment that he and Esteban were quite masterful at pulling pranks using this as kids, usually in the form of hugs or bumping into people. Now that he really is a thief, he's passed this skill on to his daughter, Carla.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple.
* {{Revenge}}: What Victor hopes to accomplish is revenge against Esteban for abandoning him when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor. Victor won’t stop until one way or another, he sticks it to Esteban.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Ironically enough, Shuriki betrayed ''him'' when she banished him instead of holding up her end of the bargain (unless [[UnreliableExpositor Victor]] was stretching or leaving out some details) and [[spoiler:in truth, she wasn't going to turn him and Carla into malvagos, even if she succeeded to defeating Elena]]. Not to mention that he's rather bitter about Esteban not standing up for him against Shuriki when he got banished. Of course, [[IgnoredEpiphany all of this goes over Victor's head]], though instead he had to resort to old-fashioned trickery and persuasion to get what he wants from someone who won’t honor their end of the bargain, showing at least he hasn’t forgotten what Shuriki did to him previously.
* ResurrectedForAJob: Somewhat. In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he gets de-petrified so he and Carla can help Elena and Naomi free Princess Ixlan, and Elena tells him he'll merely be sentenced to Soledad island if he acts accordingly. [[HeelFaceTurn He genuinely proves his worth, though.]]]]
* ShutUpKirk: When [[spoiler:Esteban tries to defend himself for not stopping Shuriki from banishing him, insisting [[NeverMyFault he had no choice]] after Elena's parents were killed. Victor is unmoved, retorting that Esteban ''[[VillainHasAPoint always]]'' [[VillainHasAPoint had a choice]].]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both him and Carla, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* StickyFingers: Frequently did this with Esteban towards Abuela and Abuelo when they were kids. When he returns to the palace, he does it to Abuelo once more for old time's sake.
* SupremeChef: [[HiddenDepths He's a very good cook]], though he tends to "over-pepper".
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Ash petrifies him after he refuses to have him and Carla continue doing evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety. His petrified body is kept in the garden of Avalor Palace afterwards, and he's not freed from his stone prison until "The Lightning Warrior".]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** He's also this with Ash, who has come to despise him for supposedly taking Carla away from her and wants nothing to do with him, but initially tries to work with him only for [[MoralityPet Carla's sake]]. It doesn't work.
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, he and Carla are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In his debut episode, Elena and her grandparents fondly reminisce Victor and Esteban playing together, such as pranking them by pickpocketing their jewelry or running through the palace halls. However, as an adult, he's become genuinely greedy. According to himself in Season 2, he felt like a NoRespectGuy as a kid and seeking out power is his way at getting back at the world. Whether or not he's just using SelfServingMemory or the royal family was InnocentlyInsensitive to him isn't currently known.
* VillainDecay: Downplayed, and an inversion to Carla's CharacterDevelopment. He technically never stops being capable and even becomes more threatening when [[spoiler: he is turned into a malvago]], but he was portrayed as a much more straight-up sinister villain in his debut episode, "King of the Carnival", whereas afterwards he just got [[LaughablyEvil goofier and more bumbling]] with each passing appearance.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** [[spoiler:He is correct that his wife Ash could've come back to him and Carla anytime instead of continue with her malvago training, and that she exhibits ItsAllAboutMe and NeverMyFault.]]
** [[spoiler:Victor telling Esteban that he always has a choice, and how he did nothing when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor becomes ''very'' important in Season 3; all those years Esteban lied to his whole family and never told them that he let Shuriki in. Once Elena finds out the truth in the most ''visceral'' way possible, Esteban got what was coming for him. The fact that he didn't tell his family the truth sooner and that he refused to take his punishment with dignity proves Victor being right about how Esteban's choices were to his own benefit and no one else's]].
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Victor revealing that he's felt like a NoRespectGuy since his youth.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: As his father was royal treasurer, Victor practically grew up at the palace and was known among the royal family for being Esteban's best friend. "The Lightning Warrior" takes it a step further and reveals he was good friends with Elena as well. They both lament those lost days.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Victor's father and Carla's grandfather is mentioned in their debut episode, but he presumably [[PosthumousCharacter passed away]] after he and his family were exiled.
* WouldHitAGirl: He knocks Elena down in "Realm of the Jaquins" and tries to blast Naomi in "Naomi Knows Best", as well as [[spoiler:Ash]] in "Coronation Day".
* WouldHurtAChild: Victor is willing to hurt teens and the preteen Isabel.
* TheAtoner: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he owns up for his past actions instead of making excuses and shows that he wants to help fix things, apologizing to Elena for his and Carla's actions in hurting her family and saying that they both want to stay to help fight Team Ash.]]
* AwfulWeddedLife: Him and Ash, [[ExaggeratedTrope in spades]]. Not only do they constantly bicker, Ash couldn't care less about Victor and whatever relationship they had ends with [[spoiler:Ash [[TakenForGranite petrifying him]] with a TilMurderDoUsPart sort of intention when he refuses to go to Takaina with her due to fearing for their daughter's safety.]]
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: After Shuriki and Fiero are dealt with in "Song of the Sirenas", Victor Became the de-facto leader of her alliance of evil-doers. He didn’t inspire the same fear or respect and ended up alienating Cruz and Vestia. "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that his wife Ash looks down on him and considers Carla to be more powerful than him.

* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:he and Carla intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: He forces Esteban to help him steal the crown by threatening to tell his family that he helped Shuriki take over Avalor, and he's the only one who knew about this.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, he and Carla let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]

* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* GoodParents: "Good" might not describe his parenting, but [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he loves his daughter Carla deeply]] and treats her kindly, though he seems to spoil her a lot unlike Shuriki who bosses her around. [[spoiler:He even [[PapaWolf carries her through a blizzard when she can no longer walk]], and Carla nearly dying on the way to Takaina is enough to have him declare he's done with the dark pursuits. Unfortunately, [[AbusiveParents Ash]] doesn't share the same feeling.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He appears to be jealous of Esteban since, as a technical member of the royal family, he was able to get away with more of his trouble-making antics as a kid than Victor could. That Esteban, in Victor's view anyway, suffered no consequences for helping Shuriki rise to power while he got banished afterward was the final straw for him. Fittingly, his eyes are colored green.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:along with Carla, he solidifies his turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue. He even makes amends with Elena, with him and Carla helping to cook when she can't as well as him and Elena reminiscing over the times they played together with Esteban.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he realizes that all these evil schemes aren't worth it if Carla's safety is endangered. Unfortunately, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Ash doesn't agree]].]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, he and Carla just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths: In their debut episode, it is established that Victor and his father were family friends of the royal family, and despite Victor practically being raised at the palace as Esteban's best friend, "A Spy In the Palace" reveals that he always felt that people put him down and treated him like a joke. He likely [[SpoiledBrat spoils his daughter]] because he doesn't want her to have a similar experience growing up.
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Gets one when he becomes a malvago.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:InUniverse. Avalor's history completely ignores his villainy prior to his HeelFaceTurn and he and Carla are treated as the victims]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki didn't reward them or turned on them.
** He's betrayed by two people he loved, [[WeUsedToBeFriends Esteban]] and [[spoiler:Ash]], both people who have trouble [[NeverMyFault taking responsibility for their actions and how they've affected other people, though he has it out more for the former]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: When he admonishes Esteban for doing nothing when Shuriki banished him, Esteban tells him that he had no choice. Victor shoots back "you always have a choice". He conveniently overlooks the fact that he ''chose'' to ally himself with Shuriki, and that his banishment was a consequence of that choice.
* IgnoredEpiphany: He's bitter over his betrayals by Esteban and [[spoiler:Ash]], but [[spoiler:trusts Shuriki enough again to believe that she'll make him and Carla into malvagos once her evil plan succeeds, even though she's shown in the past that she doesn't follow up with her deals. Granted, he and Carla planned to betray ''her'' once her scheme succeeded, but who knows if that would've worked out.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He [[spoiler:doesn't care how much pain he caused by helping Shuriki take over Avalor. All he cares about is that Shuriki banished him while rewarding Esteban, and Esteban did nothing to stop it. When Esteban insists he had no choice after Shuriki killed Elena's parents, Victor blows him off. Victor doesn't even stop to consider that maybe he was ''lucky'' for being banished rather than having to live in fear and misery under Shuriki's oppression like Esteban was.]]
** Subverted in regards to anything regarding [[MoralityPet Carla]]. [[spoiler:In fact, her almost dying in "The Magic Within" while escaping with Ash is what causes his HeelRealization, while Ash remains firm about being selfish.]]
* ItsPersonal: No matter what his goals are, his hatred for Esteban is ''very'' personal, and he wants to see him lose.
* LargeHam: Not as much as Carla, but he has his moments, like in their VillainSong.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He gets imprisoned for his actions in "Naomi Knows Best", which is fitting.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Eventually Carla's antics rub off on him, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LethalChef: Subverted. He and Carla know how to make delicious food--his only flaw with this is that he adds more pepper than necessary.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe himself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to his family]]). [[spoiler:Until his HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
%%* ManipulativeBastard:
* MeanBoss: [[spoiler:Him repeatedly insulting Cruz leads to him and Vestia ditching Victor and Carla.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Victor]] was considered to be the more capable between him and [[AlwaysSecondBest Esteban]], and he also has an ego [[BadassBoast ("I put the Victor in victory!")]]. Doubles as an IronicName, because he feels like the NoRespectGuy.
* MilesGloriosus: "The Jewel of Maru" shows that for all his bluster, he is scared easily by ghosts. "The Lightning Warrior" also has him scared easily by a creature he saw in the ocean, panicking in the process.
* MissingMom: Victor's mother and Carla's paternal grandmother is never mentioned.
* NoRespectGuy: He feels this way, which is what motivates his villainy.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Like his daughter, he's no slouch, as he can be pretty effective as well. For example, the plan to free Marimonda to obtain the jewel Shuriki needed to regain her youth while the heroes focused on trying to stop Marimonda so Victor and Carla could easily get away goes off perfectly and without a hitch. And despite having no magic, he manages to hold his own as [[TheRival a rival]] to Fiero in "The Scepter of Night".
* OlderThanHeLooks: Victor is around his early 60s, but he still doesn't look that much different from when he was younger.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Snow Place Like Home", he carries Carla in his arms to their house ''through a blizzard'' when she strains her leg and can no longer walk.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Downplayed. His disguise as an old woman looks suspicious enough that Naomi can at least recognize that it's a man, not a woman.
* PercussivePickpocket: Elena's grandparents comment that he and Esteban were quite masterful at pulling pranks using this as kids, usually in the form of hugs or bumping into people. Now that he really is a thief, he's passed this skill on to his daughter, Carla.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple.
* {{Revenge}}: What Victor hopes to accomplish is revenge against Esteban for abandoning him when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor. Victor won’t stop until one way or another, he sticks it to Esteban.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Ironically enough, Shuriki betrayed ''him'' when she banished him instead of holding up her end of the bargain (unless [[UnreliableExpositor Victor]] was stretching or leaving out some details) and [[spoiler:in truth, she wasn't going to turn him and Carla into malvagos, even if she succeeded to defeating Elena]]. Not to mention that he's rather bitter about Esteban not standing up for him against Shuriki when he got banished. Of course, [[IgnoredEpiphany all of this goes over Victor's head]], though instead he had to resort to old-fashioned trickery and persuasion to get what he wants from someone who won’t honor their end of the bargain, showing at least he hasn’t forgotten what Shuriki did to him previously.
* ResurrectedForAJob: Somewhat. In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he gets de-petrified so he and Carla can help Elena and Naomi free Princess Ixlan, and Elena tells him he'll merely be sentenced to Soledad island if he acts accordingly. [[HeelFaceTurn He genuinely proves his worth, though.]]]]
* ShutUpKirk: When [[spoiler:Esteban tries to defend himself for not stopping Shuriki from banishing him, insisting [[NeverMyFault he had no choice]] after Elena's parents were killed. Victor is unmoved, retorting that Esteban ''[[VillainHasAPoint always]]'' [[VillainHasAPoint had a choice]].]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both him and Carla, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* StickyFingers: Frequently did this with Esteban towards Abuela and Abuelo when they were kids. When he returns to the palace, he does it to Abuelo once more for old time's sake.
* SupremeChef: [[HiddenDepths He's a very good cook]], though he tends to "over-pepper".
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Ash petrifies him after he refuses to have him and Carla continue doing evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety. His petrified body is kept in the garden of Avalor Palace afterwards, and he's not freed from his stone prison until "The Lightning Warrior".]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** He's also this with Ash, who has come to despise him for supposedly taking Carla away from her and wants nothing to do with him, but initially tries to work with him only for [[MoralityPet Carla's sake]]. It doesn't work.
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, he and Carla are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In his debut episode, Elena and her grandparents fondly reminisce Victor and Esteban playing together, such as pranking them by pickpocketing their jewelry or running through the palace halls. However, as an adult, he's become genuinely greedy. According to himself in Season 2, he felt like a NoRespectGuy as a kid and seeking out power is his way at getting back at the world. Whether or not he's just using SelfServingMemory or the royal family was InnocentlyInsensitive to him isn't currently known.
* VillainDecay: Downplayed, and an inversion to Carla's CharacterDevelopment. He technically never stops being capable and even becomes more threatening when [[spoiler: he is turned into a malvago]], but he was portrayed as a much more straight-up sinister villain in his debut episode, "King of the Carnival", whereas afterwards he just got [[LaughablyEvil goofier and more bumbling]] with each passing appearance.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** [[spoiler:He is correct that his wife Ash could've come back to him and Carla anytime instead of continue with her malvago training, and that she exhibits ItsAllAboutMe and NeverMyFault.]]
** [[spoiler:Victor telling Esteban that he always has a choice, and how he did nothing when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor becomes ''very'' important in Season 3; all those years Esteban lied to his whole family and never told them that he let Shuriki in. Once Elena finds out the truth in the most ''visceral'' way possible, Esteban got what was coming for him. The fact that he didn't tell his family the truth sooner and that he refused to take his punishment with dignity proves Victor being right about how Esteban's choices were to his own benefit and no one else's]].
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Victor revealing that he's felt like a NoRespectGuy since his youth.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: As his father was royal treasurer, Victor practically grew up at the palace and was known among the royal family for being Esteban's best friend. "The Lightning Warrior" takes it a step further and reveals he was good friends with Elena as well. They both lament those lost days.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Victor's father and Carla's grandfather is mentioned in their debut episode, but he presumably [[PosthumousCharacter passed away]] after he and his family were exiled.
* WouldHitAGirl: He knocks Elena down in "Realm of the Jaquins" and tries to blast Naomi in "Naomi Knows Best", as well as [[spoiler:Ash]] in "Coronation Day".
* WouldHurtAChild: Victor is willing to hurt teens and the preteen Isabel.

* AnimalMotif: After [[spoiler:being turned into a malvago]], his animal motif is a [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder scorpion]].
* TheAtoner: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he owns up for his past actions instead of making excuses and shows that he wants to help fix things, apologizing to Elena for his and Carla's actions in hurtingActionGirl: She's an exceptional fencer, having learned by watching her family and saying that they both want to stay to help fight Team Ash.]]
* AwfulWeddedLife: Him and Ash, [[ExaggeratedTrope in spades]]. Not only do they constantly bicker, Ash couldn't care less about Victor and whatever relationship they had endsfather practice fencing with [[spoiler:Ash [[TakenForGranite petrifying him]] his fellow guardsmen and then copying them. She's good enough to best Rocco (who has been trained his whole life by his family) and pirates in fencing combat.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gets ShipTease witha TilMurderDoUsPart sort of intention when he refuses to go to Takaina with her due to fearing for their daughter's safety.]]
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: After Shuriki and Fiero are dealt with in "Song ofIxlan at the Sirenas", Victor Became the de-facto leader end of her alliance of evil-doers. He didn’t inspire the same fear or respect and ended up alienating Cruz and Vestia. "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that his wife Ash looks down on him and considers Carla to be more powerful than him. Ash ends up EvilerThanThou and turns him to stone after an argument over her endangering Carla.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: In"Coronation Day", [[spoiler:he and Carla intervene ''just'' as Ash is about Day".
* ArtisticAge: It's not known how old she is, but she seems toblast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In "King ofbe around Elena's age. She's presumably at least 18 if she can join the Carnaval", Royal Guard.
* ChekhovsGun: After Elena shows her a fencing move wherehe pretends to still be caring towards Elena you leap behind your opponent and her family just so that he can steal Lucia's tiara from strike them while their guard is down.
* {{Blackmail}}: He forces Esteban to help him steal the crown by threatening to tell his family that he helped Shuriki take over Avalor, and he's the only one who knew about this.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, he and Carla let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: He loses his tamborita and gets arrested in "Naomi Knows Best". He gets it back temporarily in "The Magic Within", but it gets destroyed soon after. [[spoiler:Not like [[TakenForGranite he'll need it]]...]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: He and Carla are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio whenthey're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: His and Carla's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CassandraTruth: At one point, he tells Elena point blank that Esteban willingly helped Shuriki take over. Elena doesn't believe him, knowing that Esteban would never want to hurt his own family; Esteban [[SureLetsGoWithThat goes with it]] because [[ExactWords that part was true]]. [[spoiler:It isn't until season 3 that Elena discovers that Esteban did indeed sell them out to Shuriki. While Victor was right about it, the fact remains that he ''still'' left out ''his'' own involvement in it, showing that he’s willing to omit certain facts just to save his own skin]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He betrayed the Royal Family (andcaught by extension, all of Avalor), he betrays Elena and her family while trying to steal Lucia's tiara, and intended to betray [[spoiler:Shuriki until Elena did her in]]. Though given that [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves he's been on the opposite end of this]], [[IgnoredEpiphany it's a wonder that he hasn't surprise (which she had learned his lesson]]. Fittingly, his AnimalMotif is a scorpion, a nasty insect known for having a stinger on its tail that faces forward.
* CoDragons: He and Carla arefrom Gabe herself), Antonia uses this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole [[TheDragon dragon]]. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on]].
* CreepyCrossdresser: He disguises as an old womandefeat Rocco in "Science Unfair", and thinks he looks rather fetching.
fencing practice.
*CryingWolf: Victor constantly deceives others and lies his way out of every situation, not to mention pulling a fast one on others. Since he’s shown himself to be a liar, Elena just doesn’t believe him about Esteban helping Shuriki invade Avalor.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears a dark suit, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In "Snow Place Like Home", he magically conjures a snowstorm that was merely intended to distract Gabe and the Royal Guard, [[GoneHorriblyRight but it winds up becoming far biggerConsummateProfessional: Even more so than intended]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard to his and Carla's detriment]].
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The ending of "The Lightning Warrior" averts this, and indicates he isn't to expect Elena to forgive him anytime soon for all his crimes against Avalor, which he accepts and understands. But, his and Carla's overly sympathetic portrayal in Marlena's song in "Coronation Day" suggests otherwise]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** For whatever kind of person he was in his youth, he really did seem to care about Esteban and was hurt when he did nothing to stop him from getting exiled by Shuriki.
** He loves his daughter dearly. The best example is "Snow Place Like Home", with Victor carrying Carla through a blizzard when she can no longer walk, and her snuggling her head against him happily. Her almost getting injured in "The Magic Within" [[spoiler:is also enough for him to have the two of them quit their evil careers.]]
** Victor does seem to care about his father, considering he calls out Esteban for letting Shuriki banish him ''and'' his family.
** Despite the lover's quarrel between them, he does love his wife. [[spoiler:But as Ash no longer reciprocates those feelings and is willing to put Carla in danger, he no longer loves her either.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, he was already evil, [[spoiler:but his transformation into a malvago also transforms his clothes, giving him a dark cloak with scorpion motifs]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Victor was a good friend of Elena, and they've known each other since childhood, until he betrayed her at Carnaval. [[spoiler:Then Elena finds out he and Esteban betrayed her and her family for Shuriki]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he refuses to have him and Carla continue with Ash on the quest for power. Well, now that he's been petrified, he won't be going ''anywhere''.]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Esteban both felt like {{No Respect Guy}}s, feeling as if they'd never nearly amount to how appreciated their family and colleagues were, leading to them betraying them to Shuriki. Neither of them were happy when Shuriki didn't follow through with some parts of her end of the deal, but Esteban regrets his decision yet wants to hide from it while Victor doesn't seemed to have learned anything, is letting [[HistoryRepeats history repeat]], and would rather blame Esteban for not sticking up for him. Additionally, Victor has no partner or family besides his daughter Carla while his relationship with his father after their exile is unknown, while Esteban has no family of his own but is surrounded by his cousins and grandparents. Even their roles in season 3 become different: [[spoiler:while Esteban pulled a FaceHeelTurn as he become a wanted criminal siding with Ash and their group of villains, Victor pulled a HeelFaceTurn as he chooses to make amends to Elena for all he has done to her and Avalor. Additionally, Avalor's history completely demonizes Esteban and disregards anything good he did prior to his betrayal being discovered, whereas Victor's previous villainy is completely ignored and he's treated as if he were the victim]].

** He's also this with Ash, who has come to despise him for supposedly taking Carla away from her and wants nothing to do with him, but initially tries to work with him only for [[MoralityPet Carla's sake]]. It doesn't work.
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, he and Carla are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In his debut episode, Elena and her grandparents fondly reminisce Victor and Esteban playing together, such as pranking them by pickpocketing their jewelry or running through the palace halls. However, as an adult, he's become genuinely greedy. According to himself in Season 2, he felt like a NoRespectGuy as a kid and seeking out power is his way at getting back at the world. Whether or not he's just using SelfServingMemory or the royal family was InnocentlyInsensitive to him isn'tcurrently known.
* VillainDecay: Downplayed, and an inversion to Carla's CharacterDevelopment. He technically never stops being capable and even becomes more threatening when [[spoiler: he is turned into a malvago]], but he was portrayed as a much more straight-up sinister villain in his debut episode, "King ofthe Carnival", whereas afterwards he just got [[LaughablyEvil goofier and more bumbling]] with each passing appearance.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** [[spoiler:He is correct that his wife Ash could've come back to him and Carla anytime instead of continue with her malvago training, and that she exhibits ItsAllAboutMe and NeverMyFault.]]
** [[spoiler:Victor telling Esteban that he always has a choice, and how he did nothing when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor becomes ''very'' important in Season 3; all those years Esteban lied to his whole family and never told them that he let Shuriki in. Once Elena finds out the truth in the most ''visceral'' way possible, Esteban got what was coming for him. The fact that he didn't tell his family the truth sooner and that he refused to take his punishment with dignity proves Victor being right about how Esteban's choices were to his own benefit and no one else's]].
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Victor revealing that he's felt like a NoRespectGuy since his youth.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: As his father was royal treasurer, Victor practically grew up at the palace and was known among the royal family for being Esteban's best friend. "The Lightning Warrior" takes it a step further and reveals he was good friends with Elena as well. They both lament those lost days.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Victor's father and Carla's grandfather is mentioned in their debut episode, but he presumably [[PosthumousCharacter passed away]] after he and his family were exiled.
* WouldHitAGirl: He knocks Elena down in "Realm of the Jaquins" and tries to blast Naomi in "Naomi Knows Best", as well as [[spoiler:Ash]] in "Coronation Day".
* WouldHurtAChild: Victor is willing to hurt teens and the preteen Isabel.only Avaloran Royal Guardswoman.
* TheAtoner: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he owns up for his past actions instead of making excuses and shows that he wants to help fix things, apologizing to Elena for his and Carla's actions in hurting
* AwfulWeddedLife: Him and Ash, [[ExaggeratedTrope in spades]]. Not only do they constantly bicker, Ash couldn't care less about Victor and whatever relationship they had ends
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gets ShipTease with
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: After Shuriki and Fiero are dealt with in "Song of
* BigDamnHeroes: In
* ArtisticAge: It's not known how old she is, but she seems to
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In "King of
* ChekhovsGun: After Elena shows her a fencing move where
* {{Blackmail}}: He forces Esteban to help him steal the crown by threatening to tell his family that he helped Shuriki take over Avalor, and he's the only one who knew about this.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, he and Carla let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: He loses his tamborita and gets arrested in "Naomi Knows Best". He gets it back temporarily in "The Magic Within", but it gets destroyed soon after. [[spoiler:Not like [[TakenForGranite he'll need it]]...]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: He and Carla are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when
* CardCarryingVillain: His and Carla's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CassandraTruth: At one point, he tells Elena point blank that Esteban willingly helped Shuriki take over. Elena doesn't believe him, knowing that Esteban would never want to hurt his own family; Esteban [[SureLetsGoWithThat goes with it]] because [[ExactWords that part was true]]. [[spoiler:It isn't until season 3 that Elena discovers that Esteban did indeed sell them out to Shuriki. While Victor was right about it, the fact remains that he ''still'' left out ''his'' own involvement in it, showing that he’s willing to omit certain facts just to save his own skin]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He betrayed the Royal Family (and
* CoDragons: He and Carla are
* CreepyCrossdresser: He disguises as an old woman
*
* DarkIsEvil: He wears a dark suit, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In "Snow Place Like Home", he magically conjures a snowstorm that was merely intended to distract Gabe and the Royal Guard, [[GoneHorriblyRight but it winds up becoming far bigger
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The ending of "The Lightning Warrior" averts this, and indicates he isn't to expect Elena to forgive him anytime soon for all his crimes against Avalor, which he accepts and understands. But, his and Carla's overly sympathetic portrayal in Marlena's song in "Coronation Day" suggests otherwise]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** For whatever kind of person he was in his youth, he really did seem to care about Esteban and was hurt when he did nothing to stop him from getting exiled by Shuriki.
** He loves his daughter dearly. The best example is "Snow Place Like Home", with Victor carrying Carla through a blizzard when she can no longer walk, and her snuggling her head against him happily. Her almost getting injured in "The Magic Within" [[spoiler:is also enough for him to have the two of them quit their evil careers.]]
** Victor does seem to care about his father, considering he calls out Esteban for letting Shuriki banish him ''and'' his family.
** Despite the lover's quarrel between them, he does love his wife. [[spoiler:But as Ash no longer reciprocates those feelings and is willing to put Carla in danger, he no longer loves her either.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, he was already evil, [[spoiler:but his transformation into a malvago also transforms his clothes, giving him a dark cloak with scorpion motifs]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Victor was a good friend of Elena, and they've known each other since childhood, until he betrayed her at Carnaval. [[spoiler:Then Elena finds out he and Esteban betrayed her and her family for Shuriki]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he refuses to have him and Carla continue with Ash on the quest for power. Well, now that he's been petrified, he won't be going ''anywhere''.]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Esteban both felt like {{No Respect Guy}}s, feeling as if they'd never nearly amount to how appreciated their family and colleagues were, leading to them betraying them to Shuriki. Neither of them were happy when Shuriki didn't follow through with some parts of her end of the deal, but Esteban regrets his decision yet wants to hide from it while Victor doesn't seemed to have learned anything, is letting [[HistoryRepeats history repeat]], and would rather blame Esteban for not sticking up for him. Additionally, Victor has no partner or family besides his daughter Carla while his relationship with his father after their exile is unknown, while Esteban has no family of his own but is surrounded by his cousins and grandparents. Even their roles in season 3 become different: [[spoiler:while Esteban pulled a FaceHeelTurn as he become a wanted criminal siding with Ash and their group of villains, Victor pulled a HeelFaceTurn as he chooses to make amends to Elena for all he has done to her and Avalor. Additionally, Avalor's history completely demonizes Esteban and disregards anything good he did prior to his betrayal being discovered, whereas Victor's previous villainy is completely ignored and he's treated as if he were the victim]].
* FreudianExcuse: [[UnreliableExpositor Supposedly]], according to Victor, he was never treated with respect, even as a child.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* GoodParents: "Good" might not describe his parenting, but [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he loves his daughter Carla deeply]] and treats her kindly, though he seems to spoil her a lot unlike Shuriki who bosses her around. [[spoiler:He even [[PapaWolf carries her through a blizzard when she can no longer walk]], and Carla nearly dying on the way to Takaina is enough to have him declare he's done with the dark pursuits. Unfortunately, [[AbusiveParents Ash]] doesn't share the same feeling.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He appears to be jealous of Esteban since, as a technical member of the royal family, he was able to get away with more of his trouble-making antics as a kid than Victor could. That Esteban, in Victor's view anyway, suffered no consequences for helping Shuriki rise to power while he got banished afterward was the final straw for him. Fittingly, his eyes are colored green.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:along with Carla, he solidifies his turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue. He even makes amends with Elena, with him and Carla helping to cook when she can't as well as him and Elena reminiscing over the times they played together with Esteban.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he realizes that all these evil schemes aren't worth it if Carla's safety is endangered. Unfortunately, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Ash doesn't agree]].]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, he and Carla just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths: In their debut episode, it is established that Victor and his father were family friends of the royal family, and despite Victor practically being raised at the palace as Esteban's best friend, "A Spy In the Palace" reveals that he always felt that people put him down and treated him like a joke. He likely [[SpoiledBrat spoils his daughter]] because he doesn't want her to have a similar experience growing up.
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Gets one when he becomes a malvago.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:InUniverse. Avalor's history completely ignores his villainy prior to his HeelFaceTurn and he and Carla are treated as the victims]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki didn't reward them or turned on them.
** He's betrayed by two people he loved, [[WeUsedToBeFriends Esteban]] and [[spoiler:Ash]], both people who have trouble [[NeverMyFault taking responsibility for their actions and how they've affected other people, though he has it out more for the former]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: When he admonishes Esteban for doing nothing when Shuriki banished him, Esteban tells him that he had no choice. Victor shoots back "you always have a choice". He conveniently overlooks the fact that he ''chose'' to ally himself with Shuriki, and that his banishment was a consequence of that choice.
* IgnoredEpiphany: He's bitter over his betrayals by Esteban and [[spoiler:Ash]], but [[spoiler:trusts Shuriki enough again to believe that she'll make him and Carla into malvagos once her evil plan succeeds, even though she's shown in the past that she doesn't follow up with her deals. Granted, he and Carla planned to betray ''her'' once her scheme succeeded, but who knows if that would've worked out.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He [[spoiler:doesn't care how much pain he caused by helping Shuriki take over Avalor. All he cares about is that Shuriki banished him while rewarding Esteban, and Esteban did nothing to stop it. When Esteban insists he had no choice after Shuriki killed Elena's parents, Victor blows him off. Victor doesn't even stop to consider that maybe he was ''lucky'' for being banished rather than having to live in fear and misery under Shuriki's oppression like Esteban was.]]
** Subverted in regards to anything regarding [[MoralityPet Carla]]. [[spoiler:In fact, her almost dying in "The Magic Within" while escaping with Ash is what causes his HeelRealization, while Ash remains firm about being selfish.]]
* ItsPersonal: No matter what his goals are, his hatred for Esteban
* LargeHam: Not as much as Carla, but he has his moments, like in their VillainSong.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He gets imprisoned for his actions in "Naomi Knows Best", which is fitting.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Eventually Carla's antics rub off on him, best shown
* LethalChef: Subverted. He
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe himself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to his family]]). [[spoiler:Until his HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
%%* ManipulativeBastard:
* MeanBoss: [[spoiler:Him repeatedly insulting Cruz leads to him and Vestia ditching Victor and Carla.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Victor]] was considered to be the more capable between him and [[AlwaysSecondBest Esteban]], and he also has an ego [[BadassBoast ("I put the Victor in victory!")]]. Doubles as an IronicName, because he feels like the NoRespectGuy.
* MilesGloriosus: "The Jewel of Maru" shows that for all his bluster, he is scared easily by ghosts. "The Lightning Warrior" also has him scared easily by a creature he saw in the ocean, panicking in the process.
* MissingMom: Victor's mother and Carla's paternal grandmother is never mentioned.
* NoRespectGuy: He feels this way, which is what motivates his villainy.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Like his daughter, he's no slouch, as he can be pretty effective as well. For example, the plan to free Marimonda to obtain the jewel Shuriki needed to regain her youth while the heroes focused on trying to stop Marimonda so Victor and Carla could easily get away goes off perfectly and without a hitch. And despite having no magic, he manages to hold his own as [[TheRival a rival]] to Fiero in "The Scepter of Night".
* OlderThanHeLooks: Victor is
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Snow Place Like Home", he carries Carla in his arms to their house ''through a blizzard'' when
* PaperThinDisguise: Downplayed. His disguise as an old woman looks suspicious enough that Naomi can at least recognize
*
* PurpleIsPowerful: His [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple.
* {{Revenge}}: What Victor hopes to accomplish is revenge against Esteban for abandoning him when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor. Victor won’t stop until one way or another, he sticks it to Esteban.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Ironically enough, Shuriki betrayed ''him'' when she banished him instead of holding up her end of the bargain (unless [[UnreliableExpositor Victor]] was stretching or leaving out some details) and [[spoiler:in truth, she wasn't going to turn him and Carla into malvagos, even if she succeeded to defeating Elena]]. Not to mention
* HeroicBSOD: She becomes discouraged when
* HeroicLineage: Her father Rodrigo was a member of the
* ResurrectedForAJob: Somewhat. In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he gets de-petrified so he and Carla can help Elena and Naomi free Princess Ixlan, and Elena tells him he'll merely be sentenced to Soledad island if he acts accordingly. [[HeelFaceTurn He genuinely proves his worth, though.]]]]
* ShutUpKirk: When [[spoiler:Esteban tries to defend himself for not stopping Shuriki from banishing him, insisting [[NeverMyFault he had no choice]] after Elena's parents were killed. Victor is unmoved, retorting that Esteban ''[[VillainHasAPoint always]]'' [[VillainHasAPoint had a choice]].]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both him and Carla, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains,
*
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the
* SupremeChef: [[HiddenDepths He's a very good cook]], though he tends to "over-pepper".
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Ash petrifies him after he refuses to have him
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.

* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, he and Carla are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In his debut episode, Elena and her grandparents fondly reminisce Victor and Esteban playing together, such as pranking them by pickpocketing their jewelry or running through the palace halls. However, as an adult, he's become genuinely greedy. According to himself in Season 2, he felt like a NoRespectGuy as a kid and seeking out power is his way at getting back at the world.

-->''"You mess with the jaquin, you get the claw!"''
--->'''-- Luna'''
Three Jaquins, magical flying creatures who befriend Elena and help her on her adventures. Migs is the sensible one, Luna is the sassy one, and Skylar is the fun-loving one.
-----
* AllThereInTheManual: The Essential Guide and WordOfGod state that Skylar and Luna are cousins.
* ButtMonkey: Migs. If something bad happens, it's usually he in the receiving end of it.
* CoolBigBro: Skylar has a great relationship with his younger brother, Nico.
* DaChief: Migs is made the new leader of the Avalor Guardians by the end of "Father-in-Chief".
* FreudianTrio: Skylar is the Id, Luna is the Ego, and Migs is the Superego.
* FurryReminder: They snarl every now and then.
* GoodParents: Migs dotes on his children, worrying about them, getting them food, and even telling Elena that a national festival is less important than making sure his kids are happy.
* HappilyMarried: Migs has a mate named Dulce, and in Season 2, their three kids are born.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath that fun-loving personality, Skylar is aware of his royal duties, afraid of letting people down, and capable of standing up for himself when needed.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: All of them to Elena, although Skylar is usually the one who accompanies her on adventures.
* MeaningfulName:
** Migs is presumably derived from "Miguel", which is the Spanish version of [[ArchangelMichael "Michael", like the archangel]]--and he is associated with the sun, to fill out the trio's celestial theme.
** Luna is Spanish for "the moon".
** Skylar contains "sky" in his name.
* OddNameOut: Played with; initially Migs seems to be the only one without a name associated with the sky, until you consider the derivation mentioned under MeaningfulName. At which point Skylar becomes the odd name out, since his is then the only one without a Spanish origin.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: As revealed in his DayInTheLimelight, Skylar's the crown prince of the jaquins. This is presumably why he only allows Elena and Sofia to ride him.
* SapientSteed: The trio often allow the heroes to ride on their backs whenever they need a flying ride or a boost of speed that traveling overland wouldn't give them. People didn't ride jaquins before the ''Secret of Avalor''; it started because Skyler allows Sofia to ride on his back to help her out on her mission to save Elena.
* SassyBlackWoman: Luna acts like one.
* StopHavingFunGuy: Migs is viewed this way by Skylar and the production notes even compare him to [[Series/{{Cheers}} Frasier Crane]]. Amusingly, in "Flight of the Jaquins", the shoe is on the other...paw?...when being chosen as the cubs' trainer causes Skylar to have to be more responsible, so his little brother Nico views him this way in turn.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In contrast with Migs who rarely deviates from jaquin laws and Skylar who will follow them if reluctantly, Luna will happily defy them if she feels they're unfair.
* TalkingAnimal: Since they're magic and all.
* {{Troll}}: During Shuriki's reign, they often sung very loudly around her (knowing full well that she hates music) and stole her food whenever she ate outside as a form of rebellion.
---> '''Skyler:''' [Shuriki] outlawed music.\\
'''Sofia:''' Why?\\
'''Migs:''' Because she wanted everyone to forget the old Avalor.\\
'''Skyler:''' That's why we jaquins still sing; to remind everyone that the spirit of Avalor lives on.\\
'''Luna:''' And because it really bugs Shuriki.
* VagueAge: Apparently, they're all old enough to have known Elena since before Shuriki came, implying that jaquins age differently from humans.
* VegetarianCarnivore: They're seen fighting over a bunch of coconuts in one episode. This could, however, be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by their bird side making them omnivores instead of strict carnivores. ''Elena and The Secret of Avalor'' shows them stealing chicken, which means they do also eat meat.

A Carnaval parade float model of a alpacamundi, brought to life by Elena using her new powers from the Well of Crystals.
Changed line(s) 448,540 (click to see context) from:
* AdorableEvilMinions: She tends to be endearingly excitable whenever she has the opportunity to join in and [[IJustWantToBeSpecial be a big part]] of either or both of her parents' {{Evil Plan}}s.
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** When Elena exiles her and Victor from Avalor after they get caught during the ''carnaval'', she appears shocked and begins to approach Elena as if to ask for her not to do this, but Victor holds her back, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm acknowledging that they've lost]].
** [[spoiler:She lets herself be turned in when her mother abandons her and turns her father to stone, and only asks Elena to find a way to free him. Elena can't make any promises, but appears to sympathize with her plight.]]
* AnimalMotif: After [[spoiler:being turned into a malvago]], her animal motif is a [[ManipulativeBitch spider]].
* TheAtoner: Like her father, [[spoiler:she gains a desire to make up for her past crimes and misdeeds in "The Lightning Warrior", deciding to help Elena and her friends against her mother Ash and her allies.]]
* BeautyIsBad: She is so cute, but so evil. Her disguise as Rita invokes this even more.
* BecomingTheMask: Averted. While undercover in the palace as Rita for weeks, she never warms up to Elena and co. and remains loyal to her father [[spoiler:[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Shuriki)]]]]. On the other hand, their antics have rubbed off on her to the point that she does gain her own sense of independence and starts to step up in earning what she wants.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's often immature, impatient, ineffectual and incredibly spoiled. Nevertheless, she was incredibly competent when disguising herself as Rita to serve as TheMole, where she had everyone fooled for weeks. Naomi is the only one to begin suspecting her eventually, but it's too late by then, as Carla successfully achieved her mission, much to the astonishment of Shuriki, who gives Carla genuine praise on a job well done, though no one is more surprised than Elena herself.
-->'''Elena''' (after she's in shock at seeing Shuriki): Fiero? Victor? And Carla?! You were Rita?!
-->'''[[SmugSnake Carla]]''': And you were clueless.
** This is shown again in "The Scepter of Night", where she comes up with the idea to take the first piece of the Scepter of Night from Elena when she comes for the second one. An ''impressed'' [[BadBoss Shuriki]] tells her there may be hope for her yet.
** In "Naomi Knows Best", she outright proves to be a ''formidable'' villain when she fights the heroes.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:she and Victor intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: One of her defining traits. In "King of the Carnaval", she acts like a normal teen who is just curious about her father's past while actually helping him in trying to steal Queen Lucia's tiara. It's also why [[spoiler:Shuriki]] and Victor believe sending her undercover as a spy in the Avalor Palace in Season 2 will work out smoothly, and it does.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Often, especially in her interactions with Victor and Shuriki.
* BreakTheHaughty: The arrogant, self-centered Carla suffers this in "The Magic Within", in which she is [[spoiler:brought to tears by her father's petrification and is forced to admit she was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrong]] about her mother. This is a major factor that causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn open her eyes]].]]
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following her [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, she and Victor let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She loses her tamborita in "Naomi Knows Best".]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: She and Victor are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Her and Victor's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially starts out as LaughablyEvil DaddysLittleVillain, but Season 2 seems to be building up to her becoming less dependent on her father, spending a three-episode arc undercover and later earning [[spoiler:Shuriki]]'s respect while Victor argues with [[spoiler:Fiero]] over their TheDragon statuses. She proves her worth in the Season 2 finale.
** A tragic example occurs in "The Magic Within". [[spoiler:After her mother petrifies her father, Carla sees what a horrible person she truly is and refuses to go anywhere with her. She also remorsefully turns herself in to Elena and Team Avalor.]]
** "The Lightning Warrior" reveals that she [[spoiler:reflected on her errors and wrongs during her time locked up in the dungeon, [[HeelFaceTurn and it shows.]]]]
* CoDragons: She and Victor are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole [[TheDragon dragon]]. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Given how evil her parents are, it's no surprise that they raised Carla to be evil as well.
** She willingly and gleefully joins in on her father's criminal activities.
** Later it turns out that [[spoiler: her mother is ''also'' villainous, making Carla a case of Mommy's Little Villain too. In "Naomi Knows Best", they... attempt to kill Elena together.]]
* DarkIsEvil: She wears a dress that uses a lot of black, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. She even manages to snark at ''Shuriki''.
* TheDeterminator: When she wants something, she rather impressively refuses to let anything stop her from getting it.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: There is a clear earnestness in her voice when she says she wishes "mama" could see her and Victor now [[spoiler: when they become malvagos]], showing that she clearly misses her MissingMom. [[spoiler:And when said MissingMom returns in "Snow Place Like Home", she and Carla immediately share a heartfelt embrace.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of the EvenEvilHasLovedOnes variety. [[spoiler:After their defeat, she tells Ash that they need to go back for Victor when he's arrested, and is horrified when Ash implies she wants to leave him behind, before groaning in frustration.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She looks up to her parents and loves them dearly. She laments the absence of her mother and [[spoiler:is delighted when she finally returns]], and is ''very'' upset with her mother's mistreatment of her father, [[spoiler:especially when she [[TakenForGranite turns him into stone]]. By "The Lightning Warrior", she is willing to fight her own mother, even if it clearly hurts her. Sadly, she does not have the heart to hurt her mother]].
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, she was already evil, [[spoiler:but her transformation into a malvago also transforms her clothes, giving her a dark cloak with spider motifs.]]
* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: [[spoiler:Unlike her mother, who is solely focused on [[ItsAllAboutMe gaining power]], she becomes primarily focused on freeing her father following the events of "Naomi Knows Best", making an attempt to do so personally in "To Save a Sunbird".]]
* FreudianExcuse: Having to travel the road with her dad all her life has left her without a real sense of home or any friends and is why she's so loyal to her parents.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* FriendlessBackground: She never had a friend in her life because she and her father were always on the move and she never had a stable environment to live in. Not that this bothers her.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After spending months alone in Avalor Palace's dungeon, in "The Lightning Warrior", along with Victor, she solidifies her turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", she realizes that her mother is a horrible person when she petrifies her father all because he wanted to stop with the evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety, so she decides to stop following her. Afterwards, she willing turns herself in, becomes sympathetic to Elena over being betrayed by family, and only asks her to find a way to free her father.]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, she and Victor just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** For her part, Carla says in "A Spy in the Palace" that, regardless of how much her father dotes on her, she's grown up always feeling alone due to never having a stable home or any friends, and she desires power to alleviate these feelings.
** "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that Carla is a more dangerous and powerful malvago than Victor.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla [[spoiler:take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki doesn't reward them or turns on them]].
** She's put [[ItsAllAboutMe her mother]] on a high pedestal that [[spoiler:it becomes a BrokenPedestal when her mother decides to petrify her father after an argument and doesn't bat an eye when Carla refuses to leave with her.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Like her father, she's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe herself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to her family]]). [[spoiler:Until her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: She wasn't wrong when she said that [[spoiler:Fiero acts like he's so above them, but if it wasn't for her and Victor, he'd still be a statue.]] Likewise, it's easy to sympathize with her and Victor feeling upset when [[spoiler:Shuriki immediately declares him her Royal Malvago when he has done much less for her than they have and yet she still has yet to reward them for their services.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: After becoming a malvago, her coloring becomes black.
* LargeHam: "AND CARLA DELGADO!"
* LaughablyEvil: Carla seems to get more and more goofy moments with each passing appearance due to her immaturity, which eventually rubs off on Victor, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LikeParentLikeChild: Both Victor and Ash passed their [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitiousness]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] onto her. In particular, Carla has her father's [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes tendency to put family first]] and [[SupremeChef talent for cooking]], as well as her mother's [[DeadpanSnarker snarky attitude]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Victor doesn't appear to share much of the finer details of his plans with her, much to her annoyance.
* MaliciousMisnaming: She ''loves'' misnaming Mateo.
-->'''Carla:''' Ha! Take ''that,'' Matato!\\
'''Mateo:''' [[LampshadedTrope Now you're not even trying!]]
* ManipulativeBitch: She does a ''good'' job manipulating Elena and the others as Rita.
* MeaningfulName: A carl is an archaic term for a peasant or a low-class citizen, which is what the duo are, [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen despite the family formerly having ties with the royal family.]]
* MirrorCharacter: She is this to ''Elena'', of all people. Both are teenagers seeking to prove themselves, both have mothers who are absent from their lives but come back to them in one way or another, and both seek to unlock a magical potential. This is taken to another level in "The Magic Within", in which [[spoiler:just like Elena, Carla is betrayed by a family member, watches at least one parent sustain a fatal magical blast right before her eyes, ''and'' she gets imprisoned almost immediately after.]]
* TheMole: She disguises herself as the cute, innocent Rita to pose as Armando's long-lost cousin and gain Elena's and Naomi's trust while she finds a way to get [[spoiler:the tiara containing the magical jewel]] before her deception is revealed.
* MoralityPet:
** She is this to Victor, being the only person he treats with kindness and respect. "Snow Place Like Home" and "The Magic Within" show just how much he cares about her.
** She is also this to her mother Ash, as "Not Without My Magic" shows that she and Victor pretend to ''not'' be having a martial spat whenever Carla is present, and Ash is distraught that she missed her daughter growing up. That being said, "The Magic Within" has Ash performing a ''big'' KickTheMoralityPet moment towards Carla.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Carla is usually loud, disrespectful, and rude, not to mention she has displayed an open willingness to kill Elena in "Sister of Invention". [[spoiler:So when she somberly explains what happened after the avalanche in "The Magic Within" and ''begs'' Elena to restore her father, you know her life's been turned upside down.]]
* OperationBlank: As Rita, she calls her mission to sabotage Naomi "Operation: Bye Bye Naomi".
* PetTheDog: In "Rise of the Sorceress", [[SympathyForTheHero she has a sad look on her face]] when Elena brings up her murdered parents, suggesting that even her LackOfEmpathy can only go so far. But she treats it as more of an uncomfortable moment for her, which ''does'' make sense given how awkward it must be to be present in the moment where someone's lamenting a murder committed by ''[[TheMole your current secret employer.]]'' This is likely since she can relate to Elena, considering her own mother has been absent for most of her life, and such a moment happens again in "The Magic Within".
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple, which goes well with her eyes.
* ShipTease: While she was Rita, her interactions with Mateo went into this territory, acting somewhat playful around him even while she’s manipulating him, and Mateo seemed to have some sort of crush on her (or was within a hair's breadth of having one), until he found out she was really Carla. [[spoiler:Becomes genuine in "Coronation Day", where she ''finally'' gets his name right upon checking if he's alright, to his delight. And at Elena's coronation, they exchange sheepish smiles after bumping heads.]]
* SkewedPriorities: In "Royal Rivalry", she is upset at the [[WantedPoster Wanted Posters]] featuring her and Victor, because her face appears smaller than his. [[spoiler:It becomes a BrickJoke when she sees new posters at the end of the episode and is glad her face has the same size as his on them.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both she and Victor, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: She is either this or BrilliantButLazy, as she never struck as the type to apply herself. Her brilliance shows in "The Scepter of Night" when she understood what the first riddle meant; with Shuriki already having a low opinion of her, Carla resolves to be more proactive and give her 100%, hoping it pays off.
* SpoiledBrat: She is so obsessed with getting what she wants, that she will not let anyone stop her from doing so, and loses her patience and rants whenever she doesn't. Victor likely raised her like this because, as their dual VillainSong suggests, it was quite the opposite for him in his childhood.
* SupremeChef: "Not Without My Magic" and "The Lightning Warrior" reveal that [[HiddenDepths she's a very good cook.]]
* TheTease: As Rita, she is able to play Mateo like a violin this way.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are a very dark violet, representing her arrogance [[spoiler:and {{foreshadowing}} her transformation into a malvago]].
* TeensAreMonsters: She could be considered this, displaying all of the negative attributes commonly associated with teenagers in addition to being a villain.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** During their EnemyMine in "The Lightning Warrior", she becomes this with [[spoiler:Elena, growing [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech very aggravated]] with her refusal to give her and Victor even half a chance, which resulted in ''all of them'', not just her, getting eaten by a Moyacu. In a moment of CharacterDevelopment for both of them, Elena realizes she's right and agrees to let her help.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, she and Victor are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:She's a lot nicer in "The Lightning Warrior", having reflected on her past actions and wrongs while imprisoned in the dungeon, now genuinely wanting to help Team Avalor. In "Coronation Day", she expresses concern for Mateo when he is attacked by Chatana, and respectfully curtsies to Elena during her coronation.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Heavily implied. In "Way Back When", it's described that she used to have a happy, non-criminal life with her father at a very young age, and this is also demonstrated in flashbacks, but seems to have grown up rather spoiled and entitled.
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Carla revealing she never got to have a real stable childhood thanks to her father's nomadic lifestyle.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: After she [[spoiler:becomes a malvago]], she says "If only mama could see us now!", which implies this, as did her happiness in an earlier episode when Shuriki (a kind of maternal figure) actually gave her praise. [[spoiler: Later, when her mother returns, Carla is ecstatic and works tirelessly to please her until she realizes making her proud isn't worth it in "The Magic Within".]]
* WouldHurtAChild: While trying to steal the jewels from the royal family while on a ''carnaval'' float, she dislodges the second cart while Isabel [[WouldHarmASenior (and her grandparents)]] are on it, despite that it could have crashed into something and hurt her. And of course, she's willing to hurt and possibly even kill teens her own age.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Her feistiness reminds Zopilote of Ash when she was under his tutelage.
* YoureNotMyMother: [[spoiler:She wants nothing to do with her mother after she petrifies her father. Aside from a brief look of shock, Ash seems to take it well. As of "The Lightning Warrior", she's willing to fight Ash, but when it comes to ''actually'' hurting her, that's easier said than done]].
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** When Elena exiles her and Victor from Avalor after they get caught during the ''carnaval'', she appears shocked and begins to approach Elena as if to ask for her not to do this, but Victor holds her back, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm acknowledging that they've lost]].
** [[spoiler:She lets herself be turned in when her mother abandons her and turns her father to stone, and only asks Elena to find a way to free him. Elena can't make any promises, but appears to sympathize with her plight.]]
* AnimalMotif: After [[spoiler:being turned into a malvago]], her animal motif is a [[ManipulativeBitch spider]].
* TheAtoner: Like her father, [[spoiler:she gains a desire to make up for her past crimes and misdeeds in "The Lightning Warrior", deciding to help Elena and her friends against her mother Ash and her allies.]]
* BeautyIsBad: She is so cute, but so evil. Her disguise as Rita invokes this even more.
* BecomingTheMask: Averted. While undercover in the palace as Rita for weeks, she never warms up to Elena and co. and remains loyal to her father [[spoiler:[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Shuriki)]]]]. On the other hand, their antics have rubbed off on her to the point that she does gain her own sense of independence and starts to step up in earning what she wants.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's often immature, impatient, ineffectual and incredibly spoiled. Nevertheless, she was incredibly competent when disguising herself as Rita to serve as TheMole, where she had everyone fooled for weeks. Naomi is the only one to begin suspecting her eventually, but it's too late by then, as Carla successfully achieved her mission, much to the astonishment of Shuriki, who gives Carla genuine praise on a job well done, though no one is more surprised than Elena herself.
-->'''Elena''' (after she's in shock at seeing Shuriki): Fiero? Victor? And Carla?! You were Rita?!
-->'''[[SmugSnake Carla]]''': And you were clueless.
** This is shown again in "The Scepter of Night", where she comes up with the idea to take the first piece of the Scepter of Night from Elena when she comes for the second one. An ''impressed'' [[BadBoss Shuriki]] tells her there may be hope for her yet.
** In "Naomi Knows Best", she outright proves to be a ''formidable'' villain when she fights the heroes.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:she and Victor intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: One of her defining traits. In "King of the Carnaval", she acts like a normal teen who is just curious about her father's past while actually helping him in trying to steal Queen Lucia's tiara. It's also why [[spoiler:Shuriki]] and Victor believe sending her undercover as a spy in the Avalor Palace in Season 2 will work out smoothly, and it does.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Often, especially in her interactions with Victor and Shuriki.
* BreakTheHaughty: The arrogant, self-centered Carla suffers this in "The Magic Within", in which she is [[spoiler:brought to tears by her father's petrification and is forced to admit she was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrong]] about her mother. This is a major factor that causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn open her eyes]].]]
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following her [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, she and Victor let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She loses her tamborita in "Naomi Knows Best".]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: She and Victor are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Her and Victor's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially starts out as LaughablyEvil DaddysLittleVillain, but Season 2 seems to be building up to her becoming less dependent on her father, spending a three-episode arc undercover and later earning [[spoiler:Shuriki]]'s respect while Victor argues with [[spoiler:Fiero]] over their TheDragon statuses. She proves her worth in the Season 2 finale.
** A tragic example occurs in "The Magic Within". [[spoiler:After her mother petrifies her father, Carla sees what a horrible person she truly is and refuses to go anywhere with her. She also remorsefully turns herself in to Elena and Team Avalor.]]
** "The Lightning Warrior" reveals that she [[spoiler:reflected on her errors and wrongs during her time locked up in the dungeon, [[HeelFaceTurn and it shows.]]]]
* CoDragons: She and Victor are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole [[TheDragon dragon]]. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Given how evil her parents are, it's no surprise that they raised Carla to be evil as well.
** She willingly and gleefully joins in on her father's criminal activities.
** Later it turns out that [[spoiler: her mother is ''also'' villainous, making Carla a case of Mommy's Little Villain too. In "Naomi Knows Best", they... attempt to kill Elena together.]]
* DarkIsEvil: She wears a dress that uses a lot of black, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. She even manages to snark at ''Shuriki''.
* TheDeterminator: When she wants something, she rather impressively refuses to let anything stop her from getting it.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: There is a clear earnestness in her voice when she says she wishes "mama" could see her and Victor now [[spoiler: when they become malvagos]], showing that she clearly misses her MissingMom. [[spoiler:And when said MissingMom returns in "Snow Place Like Home", she and Carla immediately share a heartfelt embrace.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of the EvenEvilHasLovedOnes variety. [[spoiler:After their defeat, she tells Ash that they need to go back for Victor when he's arrested, and is horrified when Ash implies she wants to leave him behind, before groaning in frustration.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She looks up to her parents and loves them dearly. She laments the absence of her mother and [[spoiler:is delighted when she finally returns]], and is ''very'' upset with her mother's mistreatment of her father, [[spoiler:especially when she [[TakenForGranite turns him into stone]]. By "The Lightning Warrior", she is willing to fight her own mother, even if it clearly hurts her. Sadly, she does not have the heart to hurt her mother]].
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, she was already evil, [[spoiler:but her transformation into a malvago also transforms her clothes, giving her a dark cloak with spider motifs.]]

When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]

** For her part, Carla says in "A Spy in the Palace" that, regardless of how much her father dotes on her, she's grown up always feeling alone due to never having a stable home or any friends, and she desires power to alleviate these feelings.
** "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that Carla is a more dangerous and powerful malvago than Victor.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla [[spoiler:take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki doesn't reward them or turns on them]].
** She's put [[ItsAllAboutMe her mother]] on a high pedestal that [[spoiler:it becomes a BrokenPedestal when her mother decides to petrify her father after an argument and doesn't bat an eye when Carla refuses to leave with her.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Like her father, she's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe herself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to her family]]). [[spoiler:Until her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: Heavily implied. In "Way Back When", it's described that she used to have a happy, non-criminal life with her father at a very young age, and this is also demonstrated in flashbacks, but seems to have grown up rather spoiled and entitled.
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Carla revealing she never got to have a real stable childhood thanks to her father's nomadic lifestyle.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: After she [[spoiler:becomes a malvago]], she says "If only mama could see us now!", which implies this, as did her happiness in an earlier episode when Shuriki (a kind of maternal figure) actually gave her praise. [[spoiler: Later, when her mother returns, Carla is ecstatic and works tirelessly to please her until she realizes making her proud isn't worth it in "The Magic Within".]]
* WouldHurtAChild: While trying to steal the jewels from the royal family while on a ''carnaval'' float, she dislodges the second cart while Isabel [[WouldHarmASenior (and her grandparents)]] are on it, despite that it could have crashed into something and hurt her. And of course, she's willing to hurt and possibly even kill teens her own age.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Her feistiness reminds Zopilote of Ash when she was under his tutelage.
* YoureNotMyMother: [[spoiler:She wants nothing to do with her mother after she petrifies her father. Aside from a brief look of shock, Ash seems to take it well. As of "The Lightning Warrior", she's willing to fight Ash, but when it comes to ''actually'' hurting her, that's easier said than done]].

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Flo is less than a year old, which makes her theopportunity youngest of the cast.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In "Spirit of a Wizard", [[spoiler:she manages tojoin in and [[IJustWantToBeSpecial be take down a big part]] of either or both tamborita-armed Ash all on her own, deprive her of her parents' {{Evil Plan}}s.
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** When Elena exilesweapon, and render her and Victor from Avalor after they get caught during the ''carnaval'', she appears shocked and begins to approach Elena as if to ask for her not to do this, but Victor holds her back, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm acknowledging that they've lost]].
** [[spoiler:She lets herself be turned in when her mother abandons her and turns her father to stone, and only asks Elena to finda way to free him. Elena can't make any promises, but appears to sympathize with her plight.mess by repeatedly jumping on her.]]

* InnocentlyInsensitive: She certainly doesn't mean it, but she does tend tohelp Elena say some things that inadvertently push Elena's buttons, like bringing up [[spoiler:Esteban and her friends against her mother Ash and her allies.his treachery.]]
* BeautyIsBad: She is so cute, but so evil. Her disguise as Rita invokes this even more.
* BecomingTheMask: Averted. While undercover in the palace as Rita for weeks, she never warms up to Elena and co. and remains loyal to her father [[spoiler:[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Shuriki)]]]]. On the other hand, their antics have rubbed off on her to the point that she does gain her own sense of independence and starts to step up in earning what she wants.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's often immature, impatient, ineffectual and incredibly spoiled. Nevertheless, she was incredibly competent when disguising herself as Rita to serve as TheMole, where she had everyone fooled for weeks. Naomi is the only one to begin suspecting her eventually, but it's too late by then, as Carla successfully achieved her mission, much to the astonishment of Shuriki, who gives Carla genuine praise on a job well done, though no one is more surprised than Elena herself.
-->'''Elena''' (after she's in shock at seeing Shuriki): Fiero? Victor? And Carla?! You were Rita?!
-->'''[[SmugSnake Carla]]''': And you were clueless.
** This is shown again in "The Scepter of Night", where she comes up with the idea to take the first piece of the Scepter of Night from Elena when she comes for the second one. An ''impressed'' [[BadBoss Shuriki]] tells her there may be hope for her yet.
** In "Naomi Knows Best", she outright proves to be a ''formidable'' villain when she fights the heroes.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:she and Victor intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: One of her defining traits. In "King of the Carnaval", she acts like a normal teen who is just curious about her father's past while actually helping him in trying to steal Queen Lucia's tiara. It's also why [[spoiler:Shuriki]] and Victor believe sending her undercover as a spy in the Avalor Palace in Season 2 will work out smoothly, and it does.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Often, especially in her interactions with Victor and Shuriki.
* BreakTheHaughty: The arrogant, self-centered Carla suffers this in "The Magic Within", in which she is [[spoiler:brought to tears by her father's petrification and is forced to admit she was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrong]] about her mother. This is a major factor that causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn open her eyes]].]]

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She loses her tamborita in "Naomi Knows Best".]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: She and Victor are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Her and Victor's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially starts out as LaughablyEvil DaddysLittleVillain, but Season 2 seems to be building up to her becoming less dependent on her father, spending a three-episode arc undercover and later earning [[spoiler:Shuriki]]'s respect while Victor argues with [[spoiler:Fiero]] over their TheDragon statuses. She proves her worth in the Season 2 finale.
** A tragic example occurs in "The Magic Within". [[spoiler:After her mother petrifies her father, Carla sees what a horrible person she truly is and refuses to go anywhere with her. She also remorsefully turns herself in to Elena and Team Avalor.]]
** "The Lightning Warrior" reveals that she [[spoiler:reflected on her errors and wrongs during her time locked up in the dungeon, [[HeelFaceTurn and it shows.]]]]
* CoDragons: She and Victor are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole [[TheDragon dragon]]. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Given how evil her parents are, it's no surprise that they raised Carla to be evil as well.
** She willingly and gleefully joins in on her father's criminal activities.
** Later it turns out that [[spoiler: her mother is ''also'' villainous, making Carla a case of Mommy's Little Villain too. In "Naomi Knows Best", they... attempt to kill Elena together.]]
* DarkIsEvil: She wears a dress that uses a lot of black, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. She even manages to snark at ''Shuriki''.
* TheDeterminator: When she wants something, she rather impressively refuses to let anything stop her from getting it.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: There is a clear earnestness in her voice when she says she wishes "mama" could see her and Victor now [[spoiler: when they become malvagos]], showing that she clearly misses her MissingMom. [[spoiler:And when said MissingMom returns in "Snow Place Like Home", she and Carla immediately share a heartfelt embrace.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of the EvenEvilHasLovedOnes variety. [[spoiler:After their defeat, she tells Ash that they need to go back for Victor when he's arrested, and is horrified when Ash implies she wants to leave him behind, before groaning in frustration.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She looks up to her parents and loves them dearly. She laments the absence of her mother and [[spoiler:is delighted when she finally returns]], and is ''very'' upset with her mother's mistreatment of her father, [[spoiler:especially when she [[TakenForGranite turns him into stone]]. By "The Lightning Warrior", she is willing to fight her own mother, even if it clearly hurts her. Sadly, she does not have the heart to hurt her mother]].
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, she was already evil, [[spoiler:but her transformation into a malvago also transforms her clothes, giving her a dark cloak with spider motifs.]]
* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: [[spoiler:Unlike her mother, who is solely focused on [[ItsAllAboutMe gaining power]], she becomes primarily focused on freeing her father following the events of "Naomi Knows Best", making an attempt to do so personally in "To Save a Sunbird".]]
* FreudianExcuse: Having to travel the road with her dad all her life has left her without a real sense of home or any friends and is why she's so loyal to her parents.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* FriendlessBackground: She never had a friend in her life because she and her father were always on the move and she never had a stable environment to live in. Not that this bothers her.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After spending months alone in Avalor Palace's dungeon, in "The Lightning Warrior", along with Victor, she solidifies her turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", she realizes that her mother is a horrible person when she petrifies her father all because he wanted to stop with the evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety, so she decides to stop following her. Afterwards, she willing turns herself in, becomes sympathetic to Elena over being betrayed by family, and only asks her to find a way to free her father.]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, she and Victor just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** For her part, Carla says in "A Spy in the Palace" that, regardless of how much her father dotes on her, she's grown up always feeling alone due to never having a stable home or any friends, and she desires power to alleviate these feelings.
** "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that Carla is a more dangerous and powerful malvago than Victor.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla [[spoiler:take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki doesn't reward them or turns on them]].
** She's put [[ItsAllAboutMe her mother]] on a high pedestal that [[spoiler:it becomes a BrokenPedestal when her mother decides to petrify her father after an argument and doesn't bat an eye when Carla refuses to leave with her.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Like her father, she's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe herself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to her family]]). [[spoiler:Until her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: She wasn't wrong when she said that [[spoiler:Fiero acts like he's so above them, but if it wasn't for her and Victor, he'd still be a statue.]] Likewise, it's easy to sympathize with her and Victor feeling upset when [[spoiler:Shuriki immediately declares him her Royal Malvago when he has done much less for her than they have and yet she still has yet to reward them for their services.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: After becoming a malvago, her coloring becomes black.
* LargeHam: "AND CARLA DELGADO!"
* LaughablyEvil: Carla seems to get more and more goofy moments with each passing appearance due to her immaturity, which eventually rubs off on Victor, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LikeParentLikeChild: Both Victor and Ash passed their [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitiousness]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] onto her. In particular, Carla has her father's [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes tendency to put family first]] and [[SupremeChef talent for cooking]], as well as her mother's [[DeadpanSnarker snarky attitude]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Victor doesn't appear to share much of the finer details of his plans with her, much to her annoyance.
* MaliciousMisnaming: She ''loves'' misnaming Mateo.
-->'''Carla:''' Ha! Take ''that,'' Matato!\\
'''Mateo:''' [[LampshadedTrope Now you're not even trying!]]
* ManipulativeBitch: She does a ''good'' job manipulating Elena and the others as Rita.
* MeaningfulName: A carl is an archaic term for After Elena recognizes her as Isa's float model, Flo decides that that'd be too long of a peasant or a low-class citizen, which is what name and settles on being called "Flo".
* MomentKiller: She barges in on [[spoiler:Esteban's trial]] and her obliviousness contrasts with theduo are, [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen despite serious subject matter of the meeting.
* ParrotPetPosition: Flo will typically appear on Elena’s shoulder.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Downplayed. She is part of the familyformerly having ties with shot in the royal family.]]
* MirrorCharacter: She is this to ''Elena'', of all people. Both are teenagers seeking to prove themselves, both have mothers who are absent from their livesnew Season 3 opening theme, but come back to them not the main group shot in one way or another, and both seek to unlock a magical potential. This is taken to another level in "The Magic Within", in which [[spoiler:just like Elena, Carla is betrayed by a family member, watches at least one parent sustain a fatal magical blast right before her eyes, ''and'' the end.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her appearance will make you gush over how cute shegets imprisoned almost immediately after.]]
is.
*TheMole: She disguises herself as the cute, innocent Rita to pose as Armando's long-lost cousin and gain Elena's and Naomi's trust while she finds a way to get [[spoiler:the tiara containing the magical jewel]] before her deception is revealed.
* MoralityPet:
** She is this to Victor, being the only person he treats with kindness and respect. "Snow Place Like Home" and "The Magic Within" show just how much he cares about her.
** She is also this to her mother Ash, as "NotUndyingLoyalty: To Elena. Without My Magic" shows that a second thought, she and Victor pretend to ''not'' be having a martial spat whenever Carla is present, and Ash is distraught that she missed her daughter growing up. That being said, "The Magic Within" has Ash performing a ''big'' KickTheMoralityPet moment towards Carla.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Carla is usually loud, disrespectful, and rude, not to mention she has displayed an open willingness to kill Elenawillingly jumped in "Sister of Invention". [[spoiler:So when she somberly explains what happened after her when Ash pulled her into the avalanche in "The Magic Within" and ''begs'' Elena portal to restore her father, you know her life's been turned upside down.]]
* OperationBlank: As Rita, she calls her mission to sabotage Naomi "Operation: Bye Bye Naomi".
* PetTheDog: In "Risethe dark side of the Sorceress", [[SympathyForTheHero she has a sad look on her face]] when Elena brings up her murdered parents, suggesting that even her LackOfEmpathy can only go so far. But she treats it as more of an uncomfortable moment for her, which ''does'' make sense given how awkward it must be to be present in the moment where someone's lamenting a murder committed by ''[[TheMole your current secret employer.]]'' This is likely since she can relate to Elena, considering her own mother has been absent for most of her life, and such a moment happens again in "The Magic Within".
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple, which goes well with her eyes.
* ShipTease: While she was Rita, her interactions with Mateo went into this territory, acting somewhat playful around him even while she’s manipulating him, and Mateo seemed to have some sort of crush on her (or was within a hair's breadth of having one), until he found out she was really Carla. [[spoiler:Becomes genuine in "Coronation Day", where she ''finally'' gets his name right upon checking if he's alright, to his delight. And at Elena's coronation, they exchange sheepish smiles after bumping heads.]]
* SkewedPriorities: In "Royal Rivalry", she is upset at the [[WantedPoster Wanted Posters]] featuring her and Victor, because her face appears smaller than his. [[spoiler:It becomes a BrickJoke when she sees new posters at the end of the episode and is glad her face has the same size as his on them.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both she and Victor, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: She is either this or BrilliantButLazy, as she never struck as the type to apply herself. Her brilliance shows in "The Scepter of Night" when she understood what the first riddle meant; with Shuriki already having a low opinion of her, Carla resolves to be more proactive and give her 100%, hoping it pays off.
* SpoiledBrat: She is so obsessed with getting what she wants, that she will not let anyone stop her from doing so, and loses her patience and rants whenever she doesn't. Victor likely raised her like this because, as their dual VillainSong suggests, it was quite the opposite for him in his childhood.
* SupremeChef: "Not Without My Magic" and "The Lightning Warrior" reveal that [[HiddenDepths she's a very good cook.]]
* TheTease: As Rita, she is able to play Mateo like a violin this way.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are a very dark violet, representing her arrogance [[spoiler:and {{foreshadowing}} her transformation into a malvago]].
* TeensAreMonsters: She could be considered this, displaying all of the negative attributes commonly associated with teenagers in addition to being a villain.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** During their EnemyMine in "The Lightning Warrior", she becomes this with [[spoiler:Elena, growing [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech very aggravated]] with her refusal to give her and Victor even half a chance, which resulted in ''all of them'', not just her, getting eaten by a Moyacu. In a moment of CharacterDevelopment for both of them, Elena realizes she's right and agrees to let her help.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, she and Victor are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:She's a lot nicer in "The Lightning Warrior", having reflected on her past actions and wrongs while imprisoned in the dungeon, now genuinely wanting to help Team Avalor. In "Coronation Day", she expresses concern for Mateo when he is attacked by Chatana, and respectfully curtsies to Elena during her coronation.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Heavily implied. In "Way Back When", it's described that she used to have a happy, non-criminal life with her father at a very young age, and this is also demonstrated in flashbacks, but seems to have grown up rather spoiled and entitled.

* WouldHurtAChild: While trying to steal the jewels from the royal family while on a ''carnaval'' float, she dislodges the second cart while Isabel [[WouldHarmASenior (and her grandparents)]] are on it, despite that it could have crashed into something and hurt her. And of course, she's willing to hurt and possibly even kill teens her own age.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Her feistiness reminds Zopilote of Ash when she was under his tutelage.

* JerkassHasAPoint: She wasn't wrong when she said that [[spoiler:Fiero acts like he's so above them, but if it wasn't for her and Victor, he'd still be a statue.]] Likewise, it's easy to sympathize with her and Victor feeling upset when [[spoiler:Shuriki immediately declares him her Royal Malvago when he has done much less for her than they have and yet she still has yet to reward them for their services.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: After becoming a malvago, her coloring becomes black.
* LargeHam: "AND CARLA DELGADO!"
* LaughablyEvil: Carla seems to get more and more goofy moments with each passing appearance due to her immaturity, which eventually rubs off on Victor, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LikeParentLikeChild: Both Victor and Ash passed their [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitiousness]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] onto her. In particular, Carla has her father's [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes tendency to put family first]] and [[SupremeChef talent for cooking]], as well as her mother's [[DeadpanSnarker snarky attitude]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Victor doesn't appear to share much of the finer details of his plans with her, much to her annoyance.
* MaliciousMisnaming: She ''loves'' misnaming Mateo.
-->'''Carla:''' Ha! Take ''that,'' Matato!\\
'''Mateo:''' [[LampshadedTrope Now you're not even trying!]]
* ManipulativeBitch: She does a ''good'' job manipulating Elena and the others as Rita.
* MomentKiller: She barges in on [[spoiler:Esteban's trial]] and her obliviousness contrasts with the
* ParrotPetPosition: Flo will typically appear on Elena’s shoulder.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Downplayed. She is part of the family
* MirrorCharacter: She is this to ''Elena'', of all people. Both are teenagers seeking to prove themselves, both have mothers who are absent from their lives
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her appearance will make you gush over how cute she
*
* MoralityPet:
** She is this to Victor, being the only person he treats with kindness and respect. "Snow Place Like Home" and "The Magic Within" show just how much he cares about her.
** She is also this to her mother Ash, as "Not
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Carla is usually loud, disrespectful, and rude, not to mention she has displayed an open willingness to kill Elena
* OperationBlank: As Rita, she calls her mission to sabotage Naomi "Operation: Bye Bye Naomi".
* PetTheDog: In "Rise
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple, which goes well with her eyes.
* ShipTease: While she was Rita, her interactions with Mateo went into this territory, acting somewhat playful around him even while she’s manipulating him, and Mateo seemed to have some sort of crush on her (or was within a hair's breadth of having one), until he found out she was really Carla. [[spoiler:Becomes genuine in "Coronation Day", where she ''finally'' gets his name right upon checking if he's alright, to his delight. And at Elena's coronation, they exchange sheepish smiles after bumping heads.]]
* SkewedPriorities: In "Royal Rivalry", she is upset at the [[WantedPoster Wanted Posters]] featuring her and Victor, because her face appears smaller than his. [[spoiler:It becomes a BrickJoke when she sees new posters at the end of the episode and is glad her face has the same size as his on them.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both she and Victor, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: She is either this or BrilliantButLazy, as she never struck as the type to apply herself. Her brilliance shows in "The Scepter of Night" when she understood what the first riddle meant; with Shuriki already having a low opinion of her, Carla resolves to be more proactive and give her 100%, hoping it pays off.
* SpoiledBrat: She is so obsessed with getting what she wants, that she will not let anyone stop her from doing so, and loses her patience and rants whenever she doesn't. Victor likely raised her like this because, as their dual VillainSong suggests, it was quite the opposite for him in his childhood.
* SupremeChef: "Not Without My Magic" and "The Lightning Warrior" reveal that [[HiddenDepths she's a very good cook.]]
* TheTease: As Rita, she is able to play Mateo like a violin this way.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are a very dark violet, representing her arrogance [[spoiler:and {{foreshadowing}} her transformation into a malvago]].
* TeensAreMonsters: She could be considered this, displaying all of the negative attributes commonly associated with teenagers in addition to being a villain.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** During their EnemyMine in "The Lightning Warrior", she becomes this with [[spoiler:Elena, growing [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech very aggravated]] with her refusal to give her and Victor even half a chance, which resulted in ''all of them'', not just her, getting eaten by a Moyacu. In a moment of CharacterDevelopment for both of them, Elena realizes she's right and agrees to let her help.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not the most graceful of adversaries, she and Victor are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:She's a lot nicer in "The Lightning Warrior", having reflected on her past actions and wrongs while imprisoned in the dungeon, now genuinely wanting to help Team Avalor. In "Coronation Day", she expresses concern for Mateo when he is attacked by Chatana, and respectfully curtsies to Elena during her coronation.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Heavily implied. In "Way Back When", it's described that she used to have a happy, non-criminal life with her father at a very young age, and this is also demonstrated in flashbacks, but seems to have grown up rather spoiled and entitled.
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Carla revealing she never got to have a real stable childhood thanks to her father's nomadic lifestyle.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: After she [[spoiler:becomes a malvago]], she says "If only mama could see us now!", which implies this, as did her happiness in an earlier episode when Shuriki (a kind of maternal figure) actually gave her praise. [[spoiler: Later, when her mother returns, Carla is ecstatic and works tirelessly to please her until she realizes making her proud isn't worth it in "The Magic Within".]]
* WouldHurtAChild: While trying to steal the jewels from the royal family while on a ''carnaval'' float, she dislodges the second cart while Isabel [[WouldHarmASenior (and her grandparents)]] are on it, despite that it could have crashed into something and hurt her. And of course, she's willing to hurt and possibly even kill teens her own age.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Her feistiness reminds Zopilote of Ash when she was under his tutelage.
* YoureNotMyMother: [[spoiler:She wants nothing to do with her mother after she petrifies her father. Aside from a brief look of shock, Ash seems to take it well. As of "The Lightning Warrior", she's willing to fight Ash, but when it comes to ''actually'' hurting her, that's easier said than done]].

->'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' | ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor''
-->''"You mess with the jaquin, you get the claw!"''
--->'''-- Luna'''
Three Jaquins, magical flying creatures who befriend Elena and help her on her adventures. Migs is the sensible one, Luna is the sassy one, and Skylar is the fun-loving one.
-----
* AllThereInTheManual: The Essential Guide and WordOfGod state that Skylar and Luna are cousins.
* ButtMonkey: Migs. If something bad happens, it's usually he in the receiving end of it.
* CoolBigBro: Skylar has a great relationship with his younger brother, Nico.
* DaChief: Migs is made the new leader of the Avalor Guardians by the end of "Father-in-Chief".
* FreudianTrio: Skylar is the Id, Luna is the Ego, and Migs is the Superego.
* FurryReminder: They snarl every now and then.
* GoodParents: Migs dotes on his children, worrying about them, getting them food, and even telling Elena that a national festival is less important than making sure his kids are happy.
* HappilyMarried: Migs has a mate named Dulce, and in Season 2, their three kids are born.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath that fun-loving personality, Skylar is aware of his royal duties, afraid of letting people down, and capable of standing up for himself when needed.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: All of them to Elena, although Skylar is usually the one who accompanies her on adventures.
* MeaningfulName:
** Migs is presumably derived from "Miguel", which is the Spanish version of [[ArchangelMichael "Michael", like the archangel]]--and he is associated with the sun, to fill out the trio's celestial theme.
** Luna is Spanish for "the moon".
** Skylar contains "sky" in his name.
* OddNameOut: Played with; initially Migs seems to be the only one without a name associated with the sky, until you consider the derivation mentioned under MeaningfulName. At which point Skylar becomes the odd name out, since his is then the only one without a Spanish origin.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: As revealed in his DayInTheLimelight, Skylar's the crown prince of the jaquins. This is presumably why he only allows Elena and Sofia to ride him.
* SapientSteed: The trio often allow the heroes to ride on their backs whenever they need a flying ride or a boost of speed that traveling overland wouldn't give them. People didn't ride jaquins before the ''Secret of Avalor''; it started because Skyler allows Sofia to ride on his back to help her out on her mission to save Elena.
* SassyBlackWoman: Luna acts like one.
* StopHavingFunGuy: Migs is viewed this way by Skylar and the production notes even compare him to [[Series/{{Cheers}} Frasier Crane]]. Amusingly, in "Flight of the Jaquins", the shoe is on the other...paw?...when being chosen as the cubs' trainer causes Skylar to have to be more responsible, so his little brother Nico views him this way in turn.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In contrast with Migs who rarely deviates from jaquin laws and Skylar who will follow them if reluctantly, Luna will happily defy them if she feels they're unfair.
* TalkingAnimal: Since they're magic and all.
* {{Troll}}: During Shuriki's reign, they often sung very loudly around her (knowing full well that she hates music) and stole her food whenever she ate outside as a form of rebellion.
---> '''Skyler:''' [Shuriki] outlawed music.\\
'''Sofia:''' Why?\\
'''Migs:''' Because she wanted everyone to forget the old Avalor.\\
'''Skyler:''' That's why we jaquins still sing; to remind everyone that the spirit of Avalor lives on.\\
'''Luna:''' And because it really bugs Shuriki.
* VagueAge: Apparently, they're all old enough to have known Elena since before Shuriki came, implying that jaquins age differently from humans.
* VegetarianCarnivore: They're seen fighting over a bunch of coconuts in one episode. This could, however, be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by their bird side making them omnivores instead of strict carnivores. ''Elena and The Secret of Avalor'' shows them stealing chicken, which means they do also eat meat.

Alacazar's and later Elena's spirit animal. He has the form of a wily fox. Normally a person can only see their spirit animal under special circumstances, but being trapped in the amulet seems to have left Elena with residue magic and now she can see Zuzo whenever she needs to.
-----
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being advertised as a main character, he's more of a recurring character.
* BrutalHonesty: Not always, but when he feels like a lesson really needs to leave a mark he will bluntly tell Elena how badly she messed up.
* CowboyCop: Even among spirit guides he's a bit of a maverick, letting Elena into the spirit world despite strict rules against it just to improve her confidence (and possibly to get Cacahuate out of his funk).
* DimensionalTraveler: Like all spirit guides, he can travel in and out of the spirit world and mortal world at will and take others with him.
* FantasticFoxes: A magical talking trickster fox.
* GreatGazoo: Not as powerful as most examples, but definitely qualifies. He makes fun of his own status as a SpiritAdvisor by giving Elena a stern warning that she needs to get downstairs right now [[BaitAndSwitch or she'll be late for breakfast]], uses his powers to zip around, dance with himself, and pull himself out of a hat, and appears in full skeleton costume during Día de los Muertos before rushing off to join a conga line in the spirit world.
* MagicalGuide: Gives Elena advice when she's having problems. When she starts seeing ghosts, she immediately calls him for advice.
* SpiritAdvisor: Only Elena can see him. If others want to see him, a wizard has to summon him.
* SummonMagic: Mateo has a specific ritual and circle for summoning him. Elena, whether due to her own magic or because he's her spirit guide ([[TakeAThirdOption or possibly both]]), needs to only call his name a few times.
* TricksterMentor: As befitting a fox. When Elena is too busy to listen to him, he lets things fall apart before swooping in to ask how things are going. And even then the advice is little more than asking her to question why the Noblins took the ships, leaving her to sort the problem out for herself.

!!Cruz
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cruz.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Mario Lopez
An arrogant and athletic jaquin who was initially Chief Zephyr's chosen successor. He is the twin brother of Vestia.
----
* TheAtoner: Part of why he and Vestia haven't been seen since "Not Without My Magic" was because they spent that time paying their dues to King Verago to be reinstated into the Avalor Clan, which they officially have earned by the time of "Coronation Day".
* BadassBoast: As he puts it, "Can't lose with Cruz!"
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He comes across as an approachable, charming and friendly guy, but he's actually devious, ruthless and traitorous.
* CardCarryingVillain: Flatout claims that he's evil, though Vestia claims that she's his EvilTwin (he then insists he's "eviler").
* CoolBigBro: Initially comes off as this to the younger jaquins until his true colors show.
* {{Delinquents}}: He and Vestia are essentially the equivalent of this.
* TheDogBitesBack: In "Snow Place Like Home". After being called "beast" by Victor one too many times, he and Vestia knock Victor and Carla off their backs and abandon them to possibly freeze to death. Also qualifies as DisproportionateRetribution, which [[TheSociopath is in keeping with Cruz' established character.]]
* EntitledBastard: The idea that he has to ''earn'' respect as a leader by respecting his peoples' traditions goes completely over his head, as he thinks he deserves respect simply because [[ItsAllAboutMe he's Cruz and he's awesome.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His sister Vestia is the only one he remotely cares about other than himself, [[spoiler: shown at the end of "Song of the Sirenas" when he insists Victor unfreeze her after Mateo turns her into an ice statue, and later in "Not Without My Magic" where he follows her lead on everything.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He doesn't want his homeland destroyed, and fights to save it from being burned down in "Not Without My Magic".
* TheExile: He's no longer welcome in Vallestrella, but it doesn't prevent him from opening the gateway. He and Vestia are later accepted back in "Not Without My Magic".
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Not Without My Magic", more from wanting to avoid consequences than real goodness, plus in his case he's mainly just following Vestia's lead. On the other hand, he was at least willing to be honest about his and Vestia's half-baked attempts to be accepted back. In the finale, he and Vestia are shown proudly defending Avalor [[spoiler:and they’ve even reconciled with Victor and Carla]].
* InadequateInheritor: He's supposed to be Zephyr's successor, but he's arrogant, refuses to even consider lessons learned by past jaquin leaders, and contemptuous of Zephyr himself. It's no wonder that Zephyr eventually decides Cruz will no longer be his successor. He seems to realize over time this isn't what he wants, and he's okay with it.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His motivations are sheer narcissism - he believes that he's the best and that he's [[EntitledBastard owed everything on this basis alone.]] But, Vallestrella still holds a special place for him, and he will still fight for his home.
* KnightOfCerebus: Along with Shuriki and Fiero, he's one of the most ruthless villains the series has to offer.
* MeaningfulName:
** In Spanish and Portuguese, "Cruz" means "cross", as in the Christian cross and things crossing each other. It turns out that he's a traitor to his people.
** His name sounds like the English word, "cruise", which fits with the jaquins being named for fast-flying words.
* SlasherSmile: He gives a few of them when showing his true colors.
* TheSociopath: He possesses no shred of conscience or empathy, and hides it beneath a cool, likable front.
* StupidEvil: Cruz isn't one for deep thinking, with his sister Vestia serving as the brains between them. He even lampshades it in "Not Without My Magic" when Vestia tries to blame her backfired plan on him.
-->'''Cruz:''' Come on, everybody knows I'm not that smart.
* TookALevelInKindness: By "Coronation Day" Cruz is not upset that he's not chief of the Avalor Clan, but is proud to serve on the Clan again.
* VillainDecay: He goes from being fairly cunning and devious in his first appearance, to being relegated [[OutOfFocus to a beast of burden]] by Shuriki and Victor, and then portrayed as far more dumb and clueless, before finally having a HeelFaceTurn along with his sister, and also displaying less and less of his sociopathic tendencies. Some of this, however, is likely due to him being more of an antagonist by circumstance (if he'd been made head of the guardians by Zephyr he likely would have had nothing against Elena or Avalor) rather than a true villain, with the rest coming about due to either MistreatmentInducedBetrayal, HiddenDepths, or EvenEvilHasStandards. I.e., while he is selfish and has far too much pride, he was still raised with Vallestrella's values, sees it as his home, does not wish it true harm, etc.

Cruz's twin sister.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: After getting arrested, Cruz threatens them, saying that just they wait until his sister hears about this. Sometime later, she breaks him out of prison.
* CardCarryingVillain: She flatout claims that she's evil.
* {{Delinquents}}: She and Cruz are essentially the equivalent of this.
* TheDreaded: Cruz implies that she's a force to be feared. It turns out he means that he and his sister are an ActionDuo, although "Not Without My Magic" later shows that she's the brains of the operation.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's legitimately horrified when her plan in "Not Without My Magic" backfires and threatens to destroy her homeland.
* EvilTwin: Claims to be this to Cruz, which he protests by claiming he's "eviler", though really they're about the same amount.
* TheGhost: Cruz mentions that you do ''not'' want to mess with his sister after the other jaquins arrest him at the end of "Shapeshifters". She appears in person later in the season.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Not Without My Magic", more from wanting to avoid consequences than real goodness, though Vestia is [[EvenEvilHasStandards regretful of her latest evil plan.]] Plus, Vestia feels living on the run was no longer practical. She and Cruz are last shown helping defend Avalor from Ash, showing they truly have changed.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In "Not Without My Magic", the twins are tired of being fugitives, so Vestia suggests that they turn themselves in and [[AintTooProudToBeg beg for forgiveness]]. But when the two eavesdrop on Quita Moz talking about an evil spirit stored in his cave, Vestia cranks it up to setting the spirit loose [[FakeUltimateHero so that she and Cruz can also look like heroes]].
* MeaningfulName: "Bestia" is Spanish for "beast".
* MoralityPet: To Cruz, oddly enough. She is [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes the only other person Cruz cares about besides himself]], and he follows her lead on everything whether it be for evil or for good.
* NoodleIncident: Sometime offscreen after the events of "Shapeshifters", she broke Cruz out of prison and went into hiding with him thanks to Troyo.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cruz.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Mario Lopez
An arrogant and athletic jaquin who was initially Chief Zephyr's chosen successor. He is the twin brother of Vestia.
----
* TheAtoner: Part of why he and Vestia haven't been seen since "Not Without My Magic" was because they spent that time paying their dues to King Verago to be reinstated into the Avalor Clan, which they officially have earned by the time of "Coronation Day".
* BadassBoast: As he puts it, "Can't lose with Cruz!"
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He comes across as an approachable, charming and friendly guy, but he's actually devious, ruthless and traitorous.
* CardCarryingVillain: Flatout claims that he's evil, though Vestia claims that she's his EvilTwin (he then insists he's "eviler").
* CoolBigBro: Initially comes off as this to the younger jaquins until his true colors show.
* {{Delinquents}}: He and Vestia are essentially the equivalent of this.
* TheDogBitesBack: In "Snow Place Like Home". After being called "beast" by Victor one too many times, he and Vestia knock Victor and Carla off their backs and abandon them to possibly freeze to death. Also qualifies as DisproportionateRetribution, which [[TheSociopath is in keeping with Cruz' established character.]]
* EntitledBastard: The idea that he has to ''earn'' respect as a leader by respecting his peoples' traditions goes completely over his head, as he thinks he deserves respect simply because [[ItsAllAboutMe he's Cruz and he's awesome.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His sister Vestia is the only one he remotely cares about other than himself, [[spoiler: shown at the end of "Song of the Sirenas" when he insists Victor unfreeze her after Mateo turns her into an ice statue, and later in "Not Without My Magic" where he follows her lead on everything.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He doesn't want his homeland destroyed, and fights to save it from being burned down in "Not Without My Magic".

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** For whatever kind of person he was in his youth, he really did seem to care about Esteban and was hurt when he did nothing to stop him from getting exiled by Shuriki.
** He loves his daughter dearly. The best example is "Snow Place Like Home", with Victor carrying Carla through a blizzard when she can no longer walk, and her snuggling her head against him happily. Her almost getting injured in "The Magic Within" [[spoiler:is also enough for him to have the two of them quit their evil careers.]]
** Victor does seem to care about his father, considering he calls out Esteban for letting Shuriki banish him ''and'' his family.
** Despite the lover's quarrel between them, he does love his wife. [[spoiler:But as Ash no longer reciprocates those feelings and is willing to put Carla in danger, he no longer loves her either.]]

* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he refuses to have him and Carla continue with Ash on the quest for power. Well, now that he's been petrified, he won't be going ''anywhere''.]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Esteban both felt like {{No Respect Guy}}s, feeling as if they'd never nearly amount to howold appreciated their family and colleagues were, leading to them betraying them to Shuriki. Neither of them were happy when Shuriki didn't follow through with some parts of her end of the deal, but Esteban regrets his decision yet wants to hide from it while Victor doesn't seemed to have learned anything, is letting [[HistoryRepeats history repeat]], and would rather blame Esteban for not sticking up for him. Additionally, Victor has no partner or family besides his daughter Carla while his relationship with his father after their exile is unknown, while Esteban has no family of his own but is surrounded by his cousins and grandparents. Even their roles in season 3 become different: [[spoiler:while Esteban pulled a FaceHeelTurn as he become a wanted criminal siding with Ash and their group of villains, Victor pulled a HeelFaceTurn as he chooses to make amends to Elena for all he has done to her and Avalor. Additionally, Avalor's history completely demonizes Esteban and disregards anything good he did prior to his betrayal being discovered, whereas Victor's previous villainy is completely ignored and he's treated as if he were the victim]].
* FreudianExcuse: [[UnreliableExpositor Supposedly]], according to Victor, he was never treated with respect, even as a child.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* GoodParents: "Good" might not describe his parenting, but [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he loves his daughter Carla deeply]] and treats her kindly, though he seems to spoil her a lot unlike Shuriki who bosses her around. [[spoiler:He even [[PapaWolf carries her through a blizzard when sheis, can no longer walk]], and Carla nearly dying on the way to Takaina is enough to have him declare he's done with the dark pursuits. Unfortunately, [[AbusiveParents Ash]] doesn't share the same feeling.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: He appears to be jealous of Esteban since, as a technical member of the royal family, he was able to get away with more of his trouble-making antics as a kid than Victor could. That Esteban, in Victor's view anyway, suffered no consequences for helping Shuriki rise to power while he got banished afterward was the final straw for him. Fittingly, his eyes are colored green.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:along with Carla, he solidifies his turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue. He even makes amends with Elena, with him and Carla helping to cook when she can't as well as him and Elena reminiscing over the times they played together with Esteban.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he realizes that all these evil schemes aren't worth it if Carla's safety is endangered. Unfortunately, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Ash doesn't agree]].]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, he and Carla just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths: In their debut episode, it is established that Victor and his father were family friends of the royal family, and despite Victor practically being raised at the palace as Esteban's best friend, "A Spy In the Palace" reveals that he always felt that people put him down and treated him like a joke. He likely [[SpoiledBrat spoils his daughter]] because he doesn't want her to have a similar experience growing up.
* HighCollarOfDoom: [[spoiler:Gets one when he becomes a malvago.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:InUniverse. Avalor's history completely ignores his villainy prior to his HeelFaceTurn and he and Carla are treated as the victims]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to bearound forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki didn't reward them or turned on them.
** He's betrayed by two people he loved, [[WeUsedToBeFriends Esteban]] and [[spoiler:Ash]], both people who have trouble [[NeverMyFault taking responsibility for their actions and how they've affected other people, though he has it out more for the former]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: When he admonishes Esteban for doing nothing when Shuriki banished him, Esteban tells him that he had no choice. Victor shoots back "you always have a choice". He conveniently overlooks the fact that he ''chose'' to ally himself with Shuriki, and that his banishment was a consequence of that choice.
* IgnoredEpiphany: He's bitter over his betrayals by Esteban and [[spoiler:Ash]], but [[spoiler:trusts Shuriki enough again to believe that she'll make him and Carla into malvagos once her evil plan succeeds, even though she's shown in the past that she doesn't follow up with her deals. Granted, he and Carla planned to betray ''her'' once her scheme succeeded, but who knows if that would've worked out.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: He [[spoiler:doesn't care how much pain he caused by helping Shuriki take over Avalor. All he cares about is that Shuriki banished him while rewarding Esteban, and Esteban did nothing to stop it. When Esteban insists he had no choice after Shuriki killed Elena'sage. She's presumably at least 18 if she can join the Royal Guard.
* ChekhovsGun: After Elena showsparents, Victor blows him off. Victor doesn't even stop to consider that maybe he was ''lucky'' for being banished rather than having to live in fear and misery under Shuriki's oppression like Esteban was.]]
** Subverted in regards to anything regarding [[MoralityPet Carla]]. [[spoiler:In fact, hera fencing move where you leap behind your opponent and strike them almost dying in "The Magic Within" while they're caught by surprise (which she had learned from Gabe herself), Antonia uses this to defeat Rocco in fencing practice.
escaping with Ash is what causes his HeelRealization, while Ash remains firm about being selfish.]]
*ConsummateProfessional: Even more so than Gabe. Antonia ItsPersonal: No matter what his goals are, his hatred for Esteban is ''very'' professional personal, and he wants to see him lose.
* LargeHam: Not as much as Carla, but he has his moments, like in their VillainSong.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:He gets imprisoned for his actions in "Naomi Knows Best", which is fitting.]]
* LaughablyEvil: Eventually Carla's antics rub off on him, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LethalChef: Subverted. He and Carla know how to make delicious food--his only flaw with this is that he adds more pepper than necessary.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe himself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to his family]]). [[spoiler:Until his HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
%%* ManipulativeBastard:
* MeanBoss: [[spoiler:Him repeatedly insulting Cruz leads to him and Vestia ditching Victor and Carla.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Victor]] was considered to be the more capable between him and [[AlwaysSecondBest Esteban]], and he also has an ego [[BadassBoast ("I put the Victor in victory!")]]. Doubles as an IronicName, because he feels like the NoRespectGuy.
* MilesGloriosus: "The Jewel of Maru" shows that for all his bluster, he is scared easily by ghosts. "The Lightning Warrior" also has him scared easily by a creature he saw in the ocean, panicking in the process.
* MissingMom: Victor's mother and Carla's paternal grandmother is never mentioned.
* NoRespectGuy: He feels this way, which is what motivates his villainy.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Like his daughter, he's no slouch, as he can be pretty effective as well. For example, the plan to free Marimonda to obtain the jewel Shuriki needed to regain her youth while the heroes focused on trying to stop Marimonda so Victor and Carla could easily get away goes off perfectly and without a hitch. And despite having no magic, he manages to hold his own as [[TheRival a rival]] to Fiero in "The Scepter of Night".
* OlderThanHeLooks: Victor is aroundElena his early 60s, but he still doesn't look that much different from when he was younger.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: In "Snow Place Like Home", he carries Carla in his arms to their house ''through a blizzard'' when she strains her leg andothers above her, and if she has to disagree with Elena, she will WithDueRespect. Elena tells her can no longer walk.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Downplayed. His disguise as an old woman looks suspicious enough that Naomi can at least recognize that it'sokay to be more casual with her since they're friends.
a man, not a woman.
*DisappearedDad: Her father is referred to PercussivePickpocket: Elena's grandparents comment that he and Esteban were quite masterful at pulling pranks using this as kids, usually in the past tense, heavily implying form of hugs or bumping into people. Now that he really is a thief, he's passed this skill on to his daughter, Carla.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple.
* {{Revenge}}: What Victor hopes to accomplish is revenge against Esteban for abandoning him when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor. Victor won’t stop until one way or another, he sticks it to Esteban.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Ironically enough, Shuriki betrayed ''him'' when she banished him instead of holding up her end of the bargain (unless [[UnreliableExpositor Victor]] was stretching or leaving out some details) and [[spoiler:in truth, she wasn't going to turn him and Carla into malvagos, even if she succeeded to defeating Elena]]. Not to mention that he'sdead.
* HeroicBSOD: She becomes discouragedrather bitter about Esteban not standing up for him against Shuriki when Rocco tricks he got banished. Of course, [[IgnoredEpiphany all of this goes over Victor's head]], though instead he had to resort to old-fashioned trickery and persuasion to get what he wants from someone who won’t honor their teammates into leaving her behind during the labyrinth test, as she believes that neither her skill or perseverance will matter as long as she's not accepted by the others.
* HeroicLineage: Her father Rodrigo was a memberend of the Royal Guard, bargain, showing at least he hasn’t forgotten what Shuriki did to him previously.
* ResurrectedForAJob: Somewhat. In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he gets de-petrified so he and Carla can help Elena and Naomi free Princess Ixlan, and Elena tells him he'll merely be sentenced to Soledad island if he acts accordingly. [[HeelFaceTurn He genuinely proves his worth, though.]]]]
* ShutUpKirk: When [[spoiler:Esteban tries to defend himself for not stopping Shuriki from banishing him, insisting [[NeverMyFault he had no choice]] after Elena's parents were killed. Victor is unmoved, retorting that Esteban ''[[VillainHasAPoint always]]'' [[VillainHasAPoint had a choice]].]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both him and Carla, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, whichGabe recognizes as noteworthy.
Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
*NiceGirl: She shows StickyFingers: Frequently did this with Esteban towards Abuela and Abuelo when they were kids. When he returns to the utmost respect palace, he does it to Elena, helps Abuelo once more for old time's sake.
* SupremeChef: [[HiddenDepths He's a very good cook]], though he tends to "over-pepper".
* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:Ash petrifies him after he refuses to have him and Carla continue doing evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety. His petrified body is kept in the garden of Avalor Palace afterwards, and he's not freed from his stone prison until "The Lightning Warrior".]]
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** He's also this with Ash, who has come to despise him for supposedly taking Carla away from herteammates throughout and wants nothing to do with him, but initially tries to work with him only for [[MoralityPet Carla's sake]]. It doesn't work.
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not thelabyrinth test, most graceful of adversaries, he and is happy to be a rolemodel to a bunch of young children including little girls.
Carla are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
*TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's UsedToBeASweetKid: In his debut episode, Elena and her grandparents fondly reminisce Victor and Esteban playing together, such as pranking them by pickpocketing their jewelry or running through the first palace halls. However, as an adult, he's become genuinely greedy. According to himself in Season 2, he felt like a NoRespectGuy as a kid and seeking out power is his way at getting back at the world. Whether or not he's just using SelfServingMemory or the royal family was InnocentlyInsensitive to him isn't currently known.
* VillainDecay: Downplayed, and an inversion to Carla's CharacterDevelopment. He technically never stops being capable and even becomes more threatening when [[spoiler: he is turned into a malvago]], but he was portrayed as a much more straight-up sinister villain in his debut episode, "King of theonly Avaloran Royal Guardswoman.Carnival", whereas afterwards he just got [[LaughablyEvil goofier and more bumbling]] with each passing appearance.
* VillainHasAPoint:
** [[spoiler:He is correct that his wife Ash could've come back to him and Carla anytime instead of continue with her malvago training, and that she exhibits ItsAllAboutMe and NeverMyFault.]]
** [[spoiler:Victor telling Esteban that he always has a choice, and how he did nothing when Shuriki banished him and his family from Avalor becomes ''very'' important in Season 3; all those years Esteban lied to his whole family and never told them that he let Shuriki in. Once Elena finds out the truth in the most ''visceral'' way possible, Esteban got what was coming for him. The fact that he didn't tell his family the truth sooner and that he refused to take his punishment with dignity proves Victor being right about how Esteban's choices were to his own benefit and no one else's]].
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Victor revealing that he's felt like a NoRespectGuy since his youth.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: As his father was royal treasurer, Victor practically grew up at the palace and was known among the royal family for being Esteban's best friend. "The Lightning Warrior" takes it a step further and reveals he was good friends with Elena as well. They both lament those lost days.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Victor's father and Carla's grandfather is mentioned in their debut episode, but he presumably [[PosthumousCharacter passed away]] after he and his family were exiled.
* WouldHitAGirl: He knocks Elena down in "Realm of the Jaquins" and tries to blast Naomi in "Naomi Knows Best", as well as [[spoiler:Ash]] in "Coronation Day".
* WouldHurtAChild: Victor is willing to hurt teens and the preteen Isabel.
* TheAtoner: In "The Lightning Warrior", [[spoiler:he owns up for his past actions instead of making excuses and shows that he wants to help fix things, apologizing to Elena for his and Carla's actions in hurting her
* AwfulWeddedLife: Him and Ash, [[ExaggeratedTrope in spades]]. Not only do they constantly bicker, Ash couldn't care less about Victor and whatever relationship they had ends with
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gets ShipTease
* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: After Shuriki and Fiero are dealt with in "Song of the
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation
*
* {{Blackmail}}: He forces Esteban to help him steal the crown by threatening to tell his family that he helped Shuriki take over Avalor, and he's the only one who knew about this.
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following his [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, he and Carla let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: He loses his tamborita and gets arrested in "Naomi Knows Best". He gets it back temporarily in "The Magic Within", but it gets destroyed soon after. [[spoiler:Not like [[TakenForGranite he'll need it]]...]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: He and Carla are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: His and Carla's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CassandraTruth: At one point, he tells Elena point blank that Esteban willingly helped Shuriki take over. Elena doesn't believe him, knowing that Esteban would never want to hurt his own family; Esteban [[SureLetsGoWithThat goes with it]] because [[ExactWords that part was true]]. [[spoiler:It isn't until season 3 that Elena discovers that Esteban did indeed sell them out to Shuriki. While Victor was right about it, the fact remains that he ''still'' left out ''his'' own involvement in it, showing that he’s willing to omit certain facts just to save his own skin]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He betrayed the Royal Family (and by extension, all of Avalor), he betrays Elena and her family while trying to steal Lucia's tiara, and intended to betray [[spoiler:Shuriki until Elena did her in]]. Though given that [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves he's been on the opposite end of this]], [[IgnoredEpiphany it's a wonder that he hasn't learned his lesson]]. Fittingly, his AnimalMotif is a scorpion, a nasty insect known for having a stinger on its tail that faces forward.
* CoDragons: He and Carla are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole {{dragon}}. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on]].
* CreepyCrossdresser: He disguises as an old woman in "Science Unfair", and thinks he looks rather fetching.
* CryingWolf: Victor constantly deceives others and lies his way out of every situation, not to mention pulling a fast one on others. Since he’s shown himself to be a liar, Elena just doesn’t believe him about Esteban helping Shuriki invade Avalor.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears a dark suit, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: In "Snow Place Like Home", he magically conjures a snowstorm that was merely intended to distract Gabe and the Royal Guard, [[GoneHorriblyRight but it winds up becoming far bigger than intended]], [[HoistByHisOwnPetard to his and Carla's detriment]].
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The ending of "The Lightning Warrior" averts this, and indicates he isn't to expect Elena to forgive him anytime soon for all his crimes against Avalor, which he accepts and understands. But, his and Carla's overly sympathetic portrayal in Marlena's song in "Coronation Day" suggests otherwise]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
** For whatever kind of person he was in his youth, he really did seem to care about Esteban and was hurt when he did nothing to stop him from getting exiled by Shuriki.
** He loves his daughter dearly. The best example is "Snow Place Like Home", with Victor carrying Carla through a blizzard when she can no longer walk, and her snuggling her head against him happily. Her almost getting injured in "The Magic Within" [[spoiler:is also enough for him to have the two of them quit their evil careers.]]
** Victor does seem to care about his father, considering he calls out Esteban for letting Shuriki banish him ''and'' his family.
** Despite the lover's quarrel between them, he does love his wife. [[spoiler:But as Ash no longer reciprocates those feelings and is willing to put Carla in danger, he no longer loves her either.]]
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, he was already evil, [[spoiler:but his transformation into a malvago also transforms his clothes, giving him a dark cloak with scorpion motifs]].
* EvilFormerFriend: Victor was a good friend of Elena, and they've known each other since childhood, until he betrayed her at Carnaval. [[spoiler:Then Elena finds out he and Esteban betrayed her and her family for Shuriki]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", he refuses to have him and Carla continue with Ash on the quest for power. Well, now that he's been petrified, he won't be going ''anywhere''.]]
* {{Foil}}: He and Esteban both felt like {{No Respect Guy}}s, feeling as if they'd never nearly amount to how
* FreudianExcuse: [[UnreliableExpositor Supposedly]], according to Victor, he was never treated with respect, even as a child.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* GoodParents: "Good" might not describe his parenting, but [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he loves his daughter Carla deeply]] and treats her kindly, though he seems to spoil her a lot unlike Shuriki who bosses her around. [[spoiler:He even [[PapaWolf carries her through a blizzard when she

--->'''-- Luna'''
Three Jaquins, magical flying creatures who befriend Elena and help her on her adventures. Migs is the sensible one, Luna is the sassy one, and Skylar is the fun-loving one.
-----
* AllThereInTheManual: The Essential Guide and WordOfGod state that Skylar and Luna are cousins.
* ButtMonkey: Migs. If something bad happens, it's usually he in the receiving end of it.
* CoolBigBro: Skylar has a great relationship with his younger brother, Nico.
* DaChief: Migs is made the new leader of the Avalor Guardians by the end of "Father-in-Chief".
* FreudianTrio: Skylar is the Id, Luna is the Ego, and Migs is the Superego.
* FurryReminder: They snarl every now and then.
* GoodParents: Migs dotes on his children, worrying about them, getting them food, and even telling Elena that a national festival is less important than making sure his kids are happy.
* HappilyMarried: Migs has a mate named Dulce, and in Season 2, their three kids are born.
* HiddenDepths: Beneath that fun-loving personality, Skylar is aware of his royal duties, afraid of letting people down, and capable of standing up for himself when needed.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: All of them to Elena, although Skylar is usually the one who accompanies her on adventures.
* MeaningfulName:
** Migs is presumably derived from "Miguel", which is the Spanish version of [[ArchangelMichael "Michael", like the archangel]]--and he is associated with the sun, to fill out the trio's celestial theme.
** Luna is Spanish for "the moon".
** Skylar contains "sky" in his name.
* OddNameOut: Played with; initially Migs seems to be the only one without a name associated with the sky, until you consider the derivation mentioned under MeaningfulName. At which point Skylar becomes the odd name out, since his is then the only one without a Spanish origin.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: As revealed in his DayInTheLimelight, Skylar's the crown prince of the jaquins. This is presumably why he only allows Elena and Sofia to ride him.
* SapientSteed: The trio often allow the heroes to ride on their backs whenever they need a flying ride or a boost of speed that traveling overland wouldn't give them. People didn't ride jaquins before the ''Secret of Avalor''; it started because Skyler allows Sofia to ride on his back to help her out on her mission to save Elena.
* SassyBlackWoman: Luna acts like one.
* StopHavingFunGuy: Migs is viewed this way by Skylar and the production notes even compare him to [[Series/{{Cheers}} Frasier Crane]]. Amusingly, in "Flight of the Jaquins", the shoe is on the other...paw?...when being chosen as the cubs' trainer causes Skylar to have to be more responsible, so his little brother Nico views him this way in turn.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In contrast with Migs who rarely deviates from jaquin laws and Skylar who will follow them if reluctantly, Luna will happily defy them if she feels they're unfair.
* TalkingAnimal: Since they're magic and all.
* {{Troll}}: During Shuriki's reign, they often sung very loudly around her (knowing full well that she hates music) and stole her food whenever she ate outside as a form of rebellion.
---> '''Skyler:''' [Shuriki] outlawed music.\\
'''Sofia:''' Why?\\
'''Migs:''' Because she wanted everyone to forget the old Avalor.\\
'''Skyler:''' That's why we jaquins still sing; to remind everyone that the spirit of Avalor lives on.\\
'''Luna:''' And because it really bugs Shuriki.
* VagueAge: Apparently, they're all old enough to have known Elena since before Shuriki came, implying that jaquins age differently from humans.
* VegetarianCarnivore: They're seen fighting over a bunch of coconuts in one episode. This could, however, be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by their bird side making them omnivores instead of strict carnivores. ''Elena and The Secret of Avalor'' shows them stealing chicken, which means they do also eat meat.

!!Zuzo
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elena_of_avalor_zuzo.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeithFerguson
->'''Appearances:''' ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' | ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor''
Alacazar's and later Elena's spirit animal. He has the form of a wily fox. Normally a person can only see their spirit animal under special circumstances, but being trapped in the amulet seems to have left Elena with residue magic and now she can see Zuzo whenever she needs to.
-----
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being advertised as a main character, he's more of a recurring character.
* BrutalHonesty: Not always, but when he feels like a lesson really needs to leave a mark he will bluntly tell Elena how badly she messed up.
* CowboyCop: Even among spirit guides he's a bit of a maverick, letting Elena into the spirit world despite strict rules against it just to improve her confidence (and possibly to get Cacahuate out of his funk).
* DimensionalTraveler: Like all spirit guides, he can travel in and out of the spirit world and mortal world at will and take others with him.
* FantasticFoxes: A magical talking trickster fox.
* GreatGazoo: Not as powerful as most examples, but definitely qualifies. He makes fun of his own status as a SpiritAdvisor by giving Elena a stern warning that she needs to get downstairs right now [[BaitAndSwitch or she'll be late for breakfast]], uses his powers to zip around, dance with himself, and pull himself out of a hat, and appears in full skeleton costume during Día de los Muertos before rushing off to join a conga line in the spirit world.
* MagicalGuide: Gives Elena advice when she's having problems. When she starts seeing ghosts, she immediately calls him for advice.
* SpiritAdvisor: Only Elena can see him. If others want to see him, a wizard has to summon him.
* SummonMagic: Mateo has a specific ritual and circle for summoning him. Elena, whether due to her own magic or because he's her spirit guide ([[TakeAThirdOption or possibly both]]), needs to only call his name a few times.
* TricksterMentor: As befitting a fox. When Elena is too busy to listen to him, he lets things fall apart before swooping in to ask how things are going. And even then the advice is little more than asking her to question why the Noblins took the ships, leaving her to sort the problem out for herself.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Flo does have some dog-like tendencies, even licking people to show her affection.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Flo is less than a year old, which makes her the youngest of the cast.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In "Spirit of a Wizard", [[spoiler:she manages to take down a tamborita-armed Ash all on her own, deprive her of her weapon, and render her a mess by repeatedly jumping on her.]]
* BrutalHonesty: She indulges in this, particularly regarding Armando's [[DreadfulMusician terrible singing voice]].

* AintTooProudToBeg:
** When Elena exiles her andrender Victor from Avalor after they get caught during the ''carnaval'', she appears shocked and begins to approach Elena as if to ask for her not to do this, but Victor holds her back, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm acknowledging that they've lost]].
** [[spoiler:She lets herself be turned in when her mother abandons her and turns her father to stone, and only asks Elena to find amess by repeatedly jumping on her.way to free him. Elena can't make any promises, but appears to sympathize with her plight.]]
*BrutalHonesty: She indulges in this, particularly regarding Armando's [[DreadfulMusician terrible singing voice]].
* CoolPet: FloAnimalMotif: After [[spoiler:being turned into a malvago]], her animal motif is a Carnaval float model of an alpacamundi come [[ManipulativeBitch spider]].
* TheAtoner: Like her father, [[spoiler:she gains a desire tolife make up for her past crimes and is now Elena's new pet.
* GenkiGirl: She is full of energymisdeeds in "The Lightning Warrior", deciding to help Elena and enthusiasm.
* HappilyAdopted: It becomes clear that she's now a part of Elena's family.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She certainly doesn't mean it, but she does tend to say some things that inadvertently push Elena's buttons, like bringing up [[spoiler:Estebanher friends against her mother Ash and his treachery.her allies.]]
* BeautyIsBad: She is so cute, but so evil. Her disguise as Rita invokes this even more.
* BecomingTheMask: Averted. While undercover in the palace as Rita for weeks, she never warms up to Elena and co. and remains loyal to her father [[spoiler:[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Shuriki)]]]]. On the other hand, their antics have rubbed off on her to the point that she does gain her own sense of independence and starts to step up in earning what she wants.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's often immature, impatient, ineffectual and incredibly spoiled. Nevertheless, she was incredibly competent when disguising herself as Rita to serve as TheMole, where she had everyone fooled for weeks. Naomi is the only one to begin suspecting her eventually, but it's too late by then, as Carla successfully achieved her mission, much to the astonishment of Shuriki, who gives Carla genuine praise on a job well done, though no one is more surprised than Elena herself.
-->'''Elena''' (after she's in shock at seeing Shuriki): Fiero? Victor? And Carla?! You were Rita?!
-->'''[[SmugSnake Carla]]''': And you were clueless.
** This is shown again in "The Scepter of Night", where she comes up with the idea to take the first piece of the Scepter of Night from Elena when she comes for the second one. An ''impressed'' [[BadBoss Shuriki]] tells her there may be hope for her yet.
** In "Naomi Knows Best", she outright proves to be a ''formidable'' villain when she fights the heroes.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:she and Victor intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: One of her defining traits. In "King of the Carnaval", she acts like a normal teen who is just curious about her father's past while actually helping him in trying to steal Queen Lucia's tiara. It's also why [[spoiler:Shuriki]] and Victor believe sending her undercover as a spy in the Avalor Palace in Season 2 will work out smoothly, and it does.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Often, especially in her interactions with Victor and Shuriki.
* BreakTheHaughty: The arrogant, self-centered Carla suffers this in "The Magic Within", in which she is [[spoiler:brought to tears by her father's petrification and is forced to admit she was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrong]] about her mother. This is a major factor that causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn open her eyes]].]]
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following her [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, she and Victor let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She loses her tamborita in "Naomi Knows Best".]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: She and Victor are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Her and Victor's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially starts out as LaughablyEvil DaddysLittleVillain, but Season 2 seems to be building up to her becoming less dependent on her father, spending a three-episode arc undercover and later earning [[spoiler:Shuriki]]'s respect while Victor argues with [[spoiler:Fiero]] over their TheDragon statuses. She proves her worth in the Season 2 finale.
** A tragic example occurs in "The Magic Within". [[spoiler:After her mother petrifies her father, Carla sees what a horrible person she truly is and refuses to go anywhere with her. She also remorsefully turns herself in to Elena and Team Avalor.]]
** "The Lightning Warrior" reveals that she [[spoiler:reflected on her errors and wrongs during her time locked up in the dungeon, [[HeelFaceTurn and it shows.]]]]
* CoDragons: She and Victor are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole {{dragon}}. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Given how evil her parents are, it's no surprise that they raised Carla to be evil as well.
** She willingly and gleefully joins in on her father's criminal activities.
** Later it turns out that [[spoiler: her mother is ''also'' villainous, making Carla a case of Mommy's Little Villain too. In "Naomi Knows Best", they... attempt to kill Elena together.]]
* DarkIsEvil: She wears a dress that uses a lot of black, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. She even manages to snark at ''Shuriki''.
* TheDeterminator: When she wants something, she rather impressively refuses to let anything stop her from getting it.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Girls Love Their Mamas]]: There is a clear earnestness in her voice when she says she wishes "mama" could see her and Victor now [[spoiler: when they become malvagos]], showing that she clearly misses her MissingMom. [[spoiler:And when said MissingMom returns in "Snow Place Like Home", she and Carla immediately share a heartfelt embrace.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of the EvenEvilHasLovedOnes variety. [[spoiler:After their defeat, she tells Ash that they need to go back for Victor when he's arrested, and is horrified when Ash implies she wants to leave him behind, before groaning in frustration.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She looks up to her parents and loves them dearly. She laments the absence of her mother and [[spoiler:is delighted when she finally returns]], and is ''very'' upset with her mother's mistreatment of her father, [[spoiler:especially when she [[TakenForGranite turns him into stone]]. By "The Lightning Warrior", she is willing to fight her own mother, even if it clearly hurts her. Sadly, she does not have the heart to hurt her mother]].
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Well, she was already evil, [[spoiler:but her transformation into a malvago also transforms her clothes, giving her a dark cloak with spider motifs.]]
* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: [[spoiler:Unlike her mother, who is solely focused on [[ItsAllAboutMe gaining power]], she becomes primarily focused on freeing her father following the events of "Naomi Knows Best", making an attempt to do so personally in "To Save a Sunbird".]]
* FreudianExcuse: Having to travel the road with her dad all her life has left her without a real sense of home or any friends and is why she's so loyal to her parents.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: [[spoiler:Shuriki and Fiero]] (especially the latter) admittedly don't always like the father-daughter duo.
* FriendlessBackground: She never had a friend in her life because she and her father were always on the move and she never had a stable environment to live in. Not that this bothers her.
* GloryHound: The father-daughter duo don't like that [[spoiler:Fiero is Shuriki's #1 while they will be #2 and #3]]. They decide they want to find the staff of the Scepter of Night and take the credit for it, [[spoiler:and then eventually off Fiero when the time comes]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After spending months alone in Avalor Palace's dungeon, in "The Lightning Warrior", along with Victor, she solidifies her turn to the good side by helping Elena free Ixlan without issue.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In "The Magic Within", she realizes that her mother is a horrible person when she petrifies her father all because he wanted to stop with the evil schemes out of concern for Carla's safety, so she decides to stop following her. Afterwards, she willing turns herself in, becomes sympathetic to Elena over being betrayed by family, and only asks her to find a way to free her father.]]
* HiddenAgendaVillain: At first, she and Victor just seem to be petty thieves who want the crown jewels, but soon make it apparent that the actual ''crown'' is the only part that's important to them. When defeated, they vow to come back for the crown because "they ''need'' it". [[spoiler:It's because Shuriki needs the crown jewels to rebuild her wand.]]
* HiddenDepths:
** For her part, Carla says in "A Spy in the Palace" that, regardless of how much her father dotes on her, she's grown up always feeling alone due to never having a stable home or any friends, and she desires power to alleviate these feelings.
** "Naomi Knows Best" reveals that Carla is a more dangerous and powerful malvago than Victor.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter:
** Victor and Carla [[spoiler:take Shuriki at her word when she promises to make them Malvagos. Victor seems to be forgetting what happened the last time Shuriki promised him something, unless he was desperate... Subverted, as we do see that they were very wary of Shuriki, and had to think accordingly in case Shuriki doesn't reward them or turns on them]].
** She's put [[ItsAllAboutMe her mother]] on a high pedestal that [[spoiler:it becomes a BrokenPedestal when her mother decides to petrify her father after an argument and doesn't bat an eye when Carla refuses to leave with her.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Like her father, she's a selfish con artist and a thief whose number-one priority is always [[ItsAllAboutMe herself]] ([[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes except for when it comes to her family]]). [[spoiler:Until her HeelFaceTurn, that is.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: She wasn't wrong when she said that [[spoiler:Fiero acts like he's so above them, but if it wasn't for her and Victor, he'd still be a statue.]] Likewise, it's easy to sympathize with her and Victor feeling upset when [[spoiler:Shuriki immediately declares him her Royal Malvago when he has done much less for her than they have and yet she still has yet to reward them for their services.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Not as much as Shuriki, but Victor and Carla to be portrayed seriously whenever they appear.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: After becoming a malvago, her coloring becomes black.
* LargeHam: "AND CARLA DELGADO!"
* LaughablyEvil: Carla seems to get more and more goofy moments with each passing appearance due to her immaturity, which eventually rubs off on Victor, best shown when their VillainSong is done in the form of a ''freestyle rap.''
* LikeParentLikeChild: Both Victor and Ash passed their [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitiousness]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]] onto her. In particular, Carla has her father's [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes tendency to put family first]] and [[SupremeChef talent for cooking]], as well as her mother's [[DeadpanSnarker snarky attitude]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Victor doesn't appear to share much of the finer details of his plans with her, much to her annoyance.
* MaliciousMisnaming: She ''loves'' misnaming Mateo.
-->'''Carla:''' Ha! Take ''that,'' Matato!\\
'''Mateo:''' [[LampshadedTrope Now you're not even trying!]]
* ManipulativeBitch: She does a ''good'' job manipulating Elena and the others as Rita.
* MeaningfulName:After Elena recognizes her as Isa's float model, Flo decides that that'd be too long of A carl is an archaic term for a name and settles on being called "Flo".
* MomentKiller: She barges in on [[spoiler:Esteban's trial]] and her obliviousness contrasts withpeasant or a low-class citizen, which is what the serious subject matter of the meeting.
* ParrotPetPosition: Flo will typically appear on Elena’s shoulder.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Downplayed. She is part ofduo are, [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen despite the family shot formerly having ties with the royal family.]]
* MirrorCharacter: She is this to ''Elena'', of all people. Both are teenagers seeking to prove themselves, both have mothers who are absent from their lives but come back to them in one way or another, and both seek to unlock a magical potential. This is taken to another level in "The Magic Within", in which [[spoiler:just like Elena, Carla is betrayed by a family member, watches at least one parent sustain a fatal magical blast right before her eyes, ''and'' she gets imprisoned almost immediately after.]]
* TheMole: She disguises herself as the cute, innocent Rita to pose as Armando's long-lost cousin and gain Elena's and Naomi's trust while she finds a way to get [[spoiler:the tiara containing the magical jewel]] before her deception is revealed.
* MoralityPet:
** She is this to Victor, being the only person he treats with kindness and respect. "Snow Place Like Home" and "The Magic Within" show just how much he cares about her.
** She is also this to her mother Ash, as "Not Without My Magic" shows that she and Victor pretend to ''not'' be having a martial spat whenever Carla is present, and Ash is distraught that she missed her daughter growing up. That being said, "The Magic Within" has Ash performing a ''big'' KickTheMoralityPet moment towards Carla.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Carla is usually loud, disrespectful, and rude, not to mention she has displayed an open willingness to kill Elena in "Sister of Invention". [[spoiler:So when she somberly explains what happened after the avalanche in "The Magic Within" and ''begs'' Elena to restore her father, you know her life's been turned upside down.]]
* OperationBlank: As Rita, she calls her mission to sabotage Naomi "Operation: Bye Bye Naomi".
* PetTheDog: In "Rise of the Sorceress", [[SympathyForTheHero she has a sad look on her face]] when Elena brings up her murdered parents, suggesting that even her LackOfEmpathy can only go so far. But she treats it as more of an uncomfortable moment for her, which ''does'' make sense given how awkward it must be to be present in the moment where someone's lamenting a murder committed by ''[[TheMole your current secret employer.]]'' This is likely since she can relate to Elena, considering her own mother has been absent for most of her life, and such a moment happens again in "The Magic Within".
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her [[spoiler:malvago]] outfit, which is predominantly black and contain hints of purple, which goes well with her eyes.
* ShipTease: While she was Rita, her interactions with Mateo went into this territory, acting somewhat playful around him even while she’s manipulating him, and Mateo seemed to have some sort of crush on her (or was within a hair's breadth of having one), until he found out she was really Carla. [[spoiler:Becomes genuine in "Coronation Day", where she ''finally'' gets his name right upon checking if he's alright, to his delight. And at Elena's coronation, they exchange sheepish smiles after bumping heads.]]
* SkewedPriorities: In "Royal Rivalry", she is upset at the [[WantedPoster Wanted Posters]] featuring her and Victor, because her face appears smaller than his. [[spoiler:It becomes a BrickJoke when she sees newSeason 3 opening theme, posters at the end of the episode and is glad her face has the same size as his on them.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both she and Victor, [[DownplayedTrope while certainly skilled in certain areas]], are nowhere near as impressive as they think they are as villains, which Shuriki thinks [[SurroundedByIdiots is constantly visualizing.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: She is either this or BrilliantButLazy, as she never struck as the type to apply herself. Her brilliance shows in "The Scepter of Night" when she understood what the first riddle meant; with Shuriki already having a low opinion of her, Carla resolves to be more proactive and give her 100%, hoping it pays off.
* SpoiledBrat: She is so obsessed with getting what she wants, that she will not let anyone stop her from doing so, and loses her patience and rants whenever she doesn't. Victor likely raised her like this because, as their dual VillainSong suggests, it was quite the opposite for him in his childhood.
* SupremeChef: "Not Without My Magic" and "The Lightning Warrior" reveal that [[HiddenDepths she's a very good cook.]]
* TheTease: As Rita, she is able to play Mateo like a violin this way.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are a very dark violet, representing her arrogance [[spoiler:and {{foreshadowing}} her transformation into a malvago]].
* TeensAreMonsters: She could be considered this, displaying all of the negative attributes commonly associated with teenagers in addition to being a villain.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
** As time goes on, Shuriki and the Delgados seem to get more and more on each other's nerves, even taken open verbal shots at one another, but they still rely upon each other to get what they all want.
** During their EnemyMine in "The Lightning Warrior", she becomes this with [[spoiler:Elena, growing [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech very aggravated]] with her refusal to give her and Victor even half a chance, which resulted in ''all of them'', not just her, getting eaten by a Moyacu. In a moment of CharacterDevelopment for both of them, Elena realizes she's right and agrees to let her help.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: While still not themain group shot most graceful of adversaries, she and Victor are more formidable than before once they [[spoiler:become malvagos.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:She's a lot nicer in "The Lightning Warrior", having reflected on her past actions and wrongs while imprisoned in theend.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her appearance will make you gush over how cutedungeon, now genuinely wanting to help Team Avalor. In "Coronation Day", she is.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: She's an alpacamundi, a [[MixAndMatchCritters mix-and-match critter]] of the alpacaexpresses concern for Mateo when he is attacked by Chatana, and the coatimundi. Coatis are related respectfully curtsies to racoons Elena during her coronation.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Heavily implied. In "Way Back When", it's described that she used to have a happy, non-criminal life with her father at a very young age, andare native this is also demonstrated in flashbacks, but seems to have grown up rather spoiled and entitled.
* VillainSong: "Don't Look Now", which also serves as a MotiveRant, with Carla revealing she never got to have a real stable childhood thanks to her father's nomadic lifestyle.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: After she [[spoiler:becomes a malvago]], she says "If onlyup mama could see us now!", which implies this, as did her happiness in an earlier episode when Shuriki (a kind of maternal figure) actually gave her praise. [[spoiler: Later, when her mother returns, Carla is ecstatic and works tirelessly to please her until she realizes making her proud isn't worth it in "The Magic Within".]]
* WouldHurtAChild: While trying to steal thesouthwestern United States.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Elena. Withoutjewels from the royal family while on a ''carnaval'' float, she dislodges the second thought, cart while Isabel [[WouldHarmASenior (and her grandparents)]] are on it, despite that it could have crashed into something and hurt her. And of course, she's willing to hurt and possibly even kill teens her own age.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Her feistiness reminds Zopilote of Ash when shewillingly jumped in was under his tutelage.
* YoureNotMyMother: [[spoiler:She wants nothing to do with her mother after she petrifies her father. Aside from a brief look of shock, Ash seems to take it well. As of "The Lightning Warrior", she's willing to fight Ash, but whenAsh pulled her into the portal it comes to the dark side of the Spirit World.''actually'' hurting her, that's easier said than done]].
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Flo is less than a year old, which makes her
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In "Spirit of a Wizard", [[spoiler:she manages to take down a tamborita-armed Ash all on her own, deprive her
* AintTooProudToBeg:
** When Elena exiles her and
** [[spoiler:She lets herself be turned in when her mother abandons her and turns her father to stone, and only asks Elena to find a
*
* CoolPet: Flo
* TheAtoner: Like her father, [[spoiler:she gains a desire to
* GenkiGirl: She is full of energy
* HappilyAdopted: It becomes clear that she's now a part of Elena's family.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She certainly doesn't mean it, but she does tend to say some things that inadvertently push Elena's buttons, like bringing up [[spoiler:Esteban
* BeautyIsBad: She is so cute, but so evil. Her disguise as Rita invokes this even more.
* BecomingTheMask: Averted. While undercover in the palace as Rita for weeks, she never warms up to Elena and co. and remains loyal to her father [[spoiler:[[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Shuriki)]]]]. On the other hand, their antics have rubbed off on her to the point that she does gain her own sense of independence and starts to step up in earning what she wants.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's often immature, impatient, ineffectual and incredibly spoiled. Nevertheless, she was incredibly competent when disguising herself as Rita to serve as TheMole, where she had everyone fooled for weeks. Naomi is the only one to begin suspecting her eventually, but it's too late by then, as Carla successfully achieved her mission, much to the astonishment of Shuriki, who gives Carla genuine praise on a job well done, though no one is more surprised than Elena herself.
-->'''Elena''' (after she's in shock at seeing Shuriki): Fiero? Victor? And Carla?! You were Rita?!
-->'''[[SmugSnake Carla]]''': And you were clueless.
** This is shown again in "The Scepter of Night", where she comes up with the idea to take the first piece of the Scepter of Night from Elena when she comes for the second one. An ''impressed'' [[BadBoss Shuriki]] tells her there may be hope for her yet.
** In "Naomi Knows Best", she outright proves to be a ''formidable'' villain when she fights the heroes.
* BigDamnHeroes: In "Coronation Day", [[spoiler:she and Victor intervene ''just'' as Ash is about to blast Elena.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: One of her defining traits. In "King of the Carnaval", she acts like a normal teen who is just curious about her father's past while actually helping him in trying to steal Queen Lucia's tiara. It's also why [[spoiler:Shuriki]] and Victor believe sending her undercover as a spy in the Avalor Palace in Season 2 will work out smoothly, and it does.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Often, especially in her interactions with Victor and Shuriki.
* BreakTheHaughty: The arrogant, self-centered Carla suffers this in "The Magic Within", in which she is [[spoiler:brought to tears by her father's petrification and is forced to admit she was [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter wrong]] about her mother. This is a major factor that causes her to [[HeelFaceTurn open her eyes]].]]
* BroughtDownToBadass: Following her [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn, she and Victor let Mateo undo what made them malvagos and therefore their dark magic in favor of learning good magic.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She loses her tamborita in "Naomi Knows Best".]]
* BumblingHenchmanDuo: She and Victor are LaughablyEvil and [[spoiler:work for Shuriki. It becomes a TerribleTrio when they're reunited with Ash]].
* CardCarryingVillain: Her and Victor's VillainSong in "A Spy in the Palace" shows that they're quite aware that their moral alignment is "dastardly dark" and "malicious".
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially starts out as LaughablyEvil DaddysLittleVillain, but Season 2 seems to be building up to her becoming less dependent on her father, spending a three-episode arc undercover and later earning [[spoiler:Shuriki]]'s respect while Victor argues with [[spoiler:Fiero]] over their TheDragon statuses. She proves her worth in the Season 2 finale.
** A tragic example occurs in "The Magic Within". [[spoiler:After her mother petrifies her father, Carla sees what a horrible person she truly is and refuses to go anywhere with her. She also remorsefully turns herself in to Elena and Team Avalor.]]
** "The Lightning Warrior" reveals that she [[spoiler:reflected on her errors and wrongs during her time locked up in the dungeon, [[HeelFaceTurn and it shows.]]]]
* CoDragons: She and Victor are this to [[spoiler:Shuriki up until Fiero comes along and immediately outranks them by becoming her sole {{dragon}}. They're not pleased with their demotion, and thus are [[TheStarscream just fine]] with both Shuriki and Fiero being removed from the equation later on.]]
* DaddysLittleVillain: Given how evil her parents are, it's no surprise that they raised Carla to be evil as well.
** She willingly and gleefully joins in on her father's criminal activities.
** Later it turns out that [[spoiler: her mother is ''also'' villainous, making Carla a case of Mommy's Little Villain too. In "Naomi Knows Best", they... attempt to kill Elena together.]]
* DarkIsEvil: She wears a dress that uses a lot of black, [[spoiler:which is upgraded to a dark cloak as a malvago]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. She even manages to snark at ''Shuriki''.
* TheDeterminator: When she wants something, she rather impressively refuses to let anything stop her from getting it.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Both Shuriki and Fiero are put out of commission at the end of "Song of the Sirenas", but Victor and Carla don't mind since they got what they wanted from the alliance -- becoming malvagos -- and are now free to pursue their own villainous careers.]]
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Bad Girls Love Their Mamas]]: There is a clear earnestness in her voice when she says she wishes "mama" could see her and Victor now [[spoiler: when they become malvagos]], showing that she clearly misses her MissingMom. [[spoiler:And when said MissingMom returns in "Snow Place Like Home", she and Carla immediately share a heartfelt embrace.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of the EvenEvilHasLovedOnes variety. [[spoiler:After their defeat, she tells Ash that they need to go back for Victor when he's arrested, and is horrified when Ash implies she wants to leave him behind, before groaning in frustration.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She looks up to her parents and loves them dearly. She laments the absence of her mother and [[spoiler:is delighted when she finally returns]], and is ''very'' upset with her mother's mistreatment of her father, [[spoiler:especially when she [[TakenForGranite turns him into stone]]. By "The Lightning Warrior", she is willing to fight her own mother, even if it clearly hurts her. Sadly, she does not have the heart to hurt her mother]].

Alacazar's and later Elena's spirit animal. He has the form of a wily fox. Normally a person can only see their spirit animal under special circumstances, but being trapped in the amulet seems to have left Elena with residue magic and now she can see Zuzo whenever she needs to.
-----
* AdvertisedExtra: Despite being advertised as a main character, he's more of a recurring character.
* BrutalHonesty: Not always, but when he feels like a lesson really needs to leave a mark he will bluntly tell Elena how badly she messed up.
* CowboyCop: Even among spirit guides he's a bit of a maverick, letting Elena into the spirit world despite strict rules against it just to improve her confidence (and possibly to get Cacahuate out of his funk).
* DimensionalTraveler: Like all spirit guides, he can travel in and out of the spirit world and mortal world at will and take others with him.
* FantasticFoxes: A magical talking trickster fox.
* GreatGazoo: Not as powerful as most examples, but definitely qualifies. He makes fun of his own status as a SpiritAdvisor by giving Elena a stern warning that she needs to get downstairs right now [[BaitAndSwitch or she'll be late for breakfast]], uses his powers to zip around, dance with himself, and pull himself out of a hat, and appears in full skeleton costume during Día de los Muertos before rushing off to join a conga line in the spirit world.
* MagicalGuide: Gives Elena advice when she's having problems. When she starts seeing ghosts, she immediately calls him for advice.
* SpiritAdvisor: Only Elena can see him. If others want to see him, a wizard has to summon him.
* SummonMagic: Mateo has a specific ritual and circle for summoning him. Elena, whether due to her own magic or because he's her spirit guide ([[TakeAThirdOption or possibly both]]), needs to only call his name a few times.
* TricksterMentor: As befitting a fox. When Elena is too busy to listen to him, he lets things fall apart before swooping in to ask how things are going. And even then the advice is little more than asking her to question why the Noblins took the ships, leaving her to sort the problem out for herself.

* MeaningfulName: After Elena recognizes her as Isa's float model, Flo decides that that'd be too long of a name and settles on being called "Flo".
* MomentKiller: She barges in on [[spoiler:Esteban's trial]] and her obliviousness contrasts with the serious subject matter of the meeting.

* VillainDecay: He goes from being fairly cunning and devious in his first appearance, to being relegated [[OutOfFocus to a beast of burden]] by Shuriki and Victor, and then portrayed as far more dumb and clueless, before finally having a HeelFaceTurn along with his sister, and also displaying less and less of his sociopathic tendencies. Some of this, however, is likely due to him being more of an antagonist by circumstance (if he'd been made head of the guardians by Zephyr he likely would have had nothing against Elena or Avalor) rather than a true villain, with the rest coming about due to either MistreatmentInducedBetrayal, HiddenDepths, or EvenEvilHasStandards. I.e., while he is selfish and has far too much pride, he was still raised with Vallestrella's values, sees it as his home, does not wish it true harm, etc.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vestia_7.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DianeGuerrero
Cruz's twin sister.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Flo is less than a year old, which makes her the youngest of the cast.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: In "Spirit of a Wizard", [[spoiler:she manages to take down a tamborita-armed Ash all on her own, deprive her of her weapon, and render her a mess by repeatedly jumping on her.]]
* BrutalHonesty: She indulges in this, particularly regarding Armando's [[DreadfulMusician terrible singing voice]].
* CoolPet: Flo is a Carnaval float model of an alpacamundi come to life and is now Elena's new pet.
* GenkiGirl: She is full of energy and enthusiasm.
* HappilyAdopted: It becomes clear that she's now a part of Elena's family.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She certainly doesn't mean it, but she does tend to say some things that inadvertently push Elena's buttons, like bringing up [[spoiler:Esteban and his treachery.]]
* MeaningfulName: After Elena recognizes her as Isa's float model, Flo decides that that'd be too long of a name and settles on being called "Flo".
* MomentKiller: She barges in on [[spoiler:Esteban's trial]] and her obliviousness contrasts with the serious subject matter of the meeting.
* ParrotPetPosition: Flo will typically appear on Elena’s shoulder.
* PromotedToOpeningTitles: Downplayed. She is part of the family shot in the new Season 3 opening theme, but not the main group shot in the end.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her appearance will make you gush over how cute she is.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: She's an alpacamundi, a [[MixAndMatchCritters mix-and-match critter]] of the alpaca and the coatimundi. Coatis are related to racoons and are native only up to the southwestern United States.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Elena. Without a second thought, she willingly jumped in after her when Ash pulled her into the portal to the dark side of the Spirit World.

[[folder:Cruz]]
!!Cruz
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cruz.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Mario Lopez
An arrogant and athletic jaquin who was initially Chief Zephyr's chosen successor. He is the twin brother of Vestia.
----
* TheAtoner: Part of why he and Vestia haven't been seen since "Not Without My Magic" was because they spent that time paying their dues to King Verago to be reinstated into the Avalor Clan, which they officially have earned by the time of "Coronation Day".
* BadassBoast: As he puts it, "Can't lose with Cruz!"
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He comes across as an approachable, charming and friendly guy, but he's actually devious, ruthless and traitorous.
* CardCarryingVillain: Flatout claims that he's evil, though Vestia claims that she's his EvilTwin (he then insists he's "eviler").
* CoolBigBro: Initially comes off as this to the younger jaquins until his true colors show.
* {{Delinquents}}: He and Vestia are essentially the equivalent of this.
* TheDogBitesBack: In "Snow Place Like Home". After being called "beast" by Victor one too many times, he and Vestia knock Victor and Carla off their backs and abandon them to possibly freeze to death. Also qualifies as DisproportionateRetribution, which [[TheSociopath is in keeping with Cruz' established character.]]
* EntitledBastard: The idea that he has to ''earn'' respect as a leader by respecting his peoples' traditions goes completely over his head, as he thinks he deserves respect simply because [[ItsAllAboutMe he's Cruz and he's awesome.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His sister Vestia is the only one he remotely cares about other than himself, [[spoiler: shown at the end of "Song of the Sirenas" when he insists Victor unfreeze her after Mateo turns her into an ice statue, and later in "Not Without My Magic" where he follows her lead on everything.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He doesn't want his homeland destroyed, and fights to save it from being burned down in "Not Without My Magic".
* TheExile: He's no longer welcome in Vallestrella, but it doesn't prevent him from opening the gateway. He and Vestia are later accepted back in "Not Without My Magic".
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Not Without My Magic", more from wanting to avoid consequences than real goodness, plus in his case he's mainly just following Vestia's lead. On the other hand, he was at least willing to be honest about his and Vestia's half-baked attempts to be accepted back. In the finale, he and Vestia are shown proudly defending Avalor [[spoiler:and they’ve even reconciled with Victor and Carla]].
* InadequateInheritor: He's supposed to be Zephyr's successor, but he's arrogant, refuses to even consider lessons learned by past jaquin leaders, and contemptuous of Zephyr himself. It's no wonder that Zephyr eventually decides Cruz will no longer be his successor. He seems to realize over time this isn't what he wants, and he's okay with it.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His motivations are sheer narcissism - he believes that he's the best and that he's [[EntitledBastard owed everything on this basis alone.]] But, Vallestrella still holds a special place for him, and he will still fight for his home.
* KnightOfCerebus: Along with Shuriki and Fiero, he's one of the most ruthless villains the series has to offer.
* MeaningfulName:
** In Spanish and Portuguese, "Cruz" means "cross", as in the Christian cross and things crossing each other. It turns out that he's a traitor to his people.
** His name sounds like the English word, "cruise", which fits with the jaquins being named for fast-flying words.
* SlasherSmile: He gives a few of them when showing his true colors.
* TheSociopath: He possesses no shred of conscience or empathy, and hides it beneath a cool, likable front.
* StupidEvil: Cruz isn't one for deep thinking, with his sister Vestia serving as the brains between them. He even lampshades it in "Not Without My Magic" when Vestia tries to blame her backfired plan on him.
