Main characters

Violetta Castillo

The title character (portrayed by Martina Stoessel) is a talented girl and the protagonist of the original television series. She is intelligent and vivacious with an overprotective father. She is a spontaneous and honest girl. She has a beautifully unique voice that she inherited from her mother, who died in a car crash when Violetta was 5 years old. Violetta just wants to find her own place in the world and to learn more about it. When she returns to Buenos Aires, Violetta discovers her passion for music and starts attending Studio 21 (now On Beat Studio) behind her father's back. There, she makes her first friends and learns more about herself. She also meets two very different boys, Tomas and Leon, who both fall for her. Soon, she finds herself in a love triangle and has trouble deciding who she truly loves. Violetta realizes that music means everything to her and that singing is what she wants to do for the rest of her life. But she knows that her father wouldn't accept it and, out of fear, hides everything from him, complicating their lives even more, until the final episode of season 1, when he hears Violetta singing.
