Played by Diego Ramos. Violetta's dad. He's a brilliant engineer who owns an international building company, commissioned with large-scale public and private building projects. He is intelligent and strict. Since his wife's death, he's been overprotective of his daughter but, behind his inflexibility there lies a big heart.
Herman has a girlfriend called Jade, who he considers to be a good influence for his daughter. However, when Angie, the new governess for Violetta, arrives, he feels confused and, even though he doesn't want to admit it, he ends up falling in love with her.[18]
Violetta Castillo
Played by Martina Stoessel. She is a bright girl, full of life, but she's also solitary and overprotected by her father. Although she still doesn't know it, she's got a unique voice, legacy from her mother. From her father she inherited a love of books and a superior intelligence. Violetta is spontaneous and sincere, and she speaks her mind. She's just trying to find her place in the world.
When she returns to Buenos Aires, she starts taking private piano lessons at 'Studio 21', a very prestigious music school. There, she will discover a new world that will lead her towards her own destiny and the story of her past. At first, Violetta's friends think she is timid, but soon they will discover her real personality. She also has a secret crush on Tomas. She tries to not let people know because her friend is in love with him, and she doesn't want to seem like a bad friend. [18]
Tomas Heredia
Played by Pablo Espinosa. He's attractive, unassuming, confident and, sometimes, a bit aloof. He plays the guitar and sings, and his songs mirror his personality. He attends 'Studio 21' with a grant from professor Beto, who hires him as an assistant. He was born in Spain but moved to Buenos Aires with his mother to take care of his grandma.
Tomas falls in love with Violetta in spite of Herman, who tries to keep his daughter away from all suitors. Leon is his main rival for her love.[18]
Leon
Played by Jorge Blanco. He's arrogant, conceited and full of himself, but Leon has a good heart. However, when he's with Ludmila, he might seem mean. Unlike Tomas, he comes from a wealthy family and never had to work for a living. Leon attends 'Studio 21' and has a big artistic potential.
At the beginning he wants to win Violetta's heart to get back at Tomas because Ludmila, his girlfriend, is attracted to him. However, he will fall in love with Violetta against his will. Although he usually hangs out with the 'cool' crowd from Studio, Leon is an honest guy.[18]
Ludmilla Ferro

She is quite a diva, but she's also a lying, manipulative and arrogant character. She's obsessed with her image and always wants to be the centre of attention, specially at 'Studio 21'. She always gets what she wants because she is a spoilt and cruel person.
Despite being completely different from Tomas, she is attracted to him. Tomas ignores her because he's in love with Violetta and Ludmila gets obsessive and jealous. She sees an enemy in Violetta because her talent and natural beauty can outshine her..

Natalia "Naty" Vidal
Played by Alba Rico. Ludmila's right hand, although sometimes she is more like her pet. Naty is pretty! she lives for fashion and looks down on the other students. Deep down, she's a very insecure girl who thinks that the only way to success is to belong to the 'cool' crowd.
She's a good dancer and singer, but Ludmila doesn't let her shine as much as she could. Naty knows that Ludmila could betray her for her own benefit, although that's something she would never do.

They do become a couple in the second season.
