Florencia Fazzarino
Played by: Florencia Bertotti
The heroine. Flor is a singer who, along with her friends, gets hired to play at the Fritzenwalden mansion, where she ends up meeting Federico Fritzewalden, her prince charming who she falls in love with. Eventually, she gets hired as the nanny for the Fritzenwalden siblings.
- Alliterative Name: Florencia Fazzarino. Stops being alliterative when she assumes her biological father's name and becomes Florencia Santillán.
- All-Loving Hero: Flor makes friends with everyone and everything, and even though she can get angry easily and doesn't like injustice, she'll give even the Big Bad the benefit of the doubt and a second chance if they seem remorseful.
- Bad Liar: When she has to come up with a lie, Flor starts rambling, obviously making it up as she goes, but she's often saved by the bell when other characters interrupt her explanations.
- Beautiful Singing Voice: Most characters point out how pretty Flor's singing is.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Fede in season one, and with Max in season two.
- Can't Take Criticism: Flor, though it's not obvious at first, has problems admitting she's wrong, mostly when others accuse her of being naive. She just doubles down on her beliefs until eventually the truth comes to light.
- Compulsive Liar: As the secrets and messes she's involved in grow, Flor has to come up with more and more lies to protect everyone. When she decides she won't lie anymore and writes down every lie she's told to apologize later, she ends up filling an entire notebook.
- Cool Big Sis: A surrogate version for Roberta. And unknowingly she is a real one for Sofia.
- Dude Magnet: Matías, Fede, Franco, Facundo, Ariel, Lorenzo, Máximo, Segundo... Pretty much every male character at least feels attracted to Flor, and many fall in love with her.
- I Miss Mom: Flor's mom died when she was a teenager, so she often expresses how much she misses her. Sharing those feelings with the Fritzenwalden's is what initially brings her closer to the family.
- The Ingenue: Flor. She's the most kind-hearted person alive but her naivety causes problems for her as often as it gives her unexpected opportunities.
- Keeping Secrets Sucks: Flor generally hates lying and feels guilty about keeping secrets.
- The Klutz: Flor, who often knocks over and breaks stuff, which lands her in trouble.
- Lethal Chef: Flor starts off competent in the kitchen, becomes terrible at it later on, and then gets better by season two.
- Love at First Sight: Flor falls in love with Fede as soon as they see each other; Federico takes a couple more episodes to get there.
- Motor Mouth: Flor finds starting conversations easy, not so much stopping them.
- Parental Abandonment: Flor's stepfather (who she believes to be her real father) took to sailing after the death of Flor's mother.
- Parental Substitute: Flor acts as one for Roberta and the Fritzenwalden children.
- Plucky Girl: Flor, even after all the obstacles that come in her way, is optimistic and brave.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Flor is pretty pale and has dark hair during the first season. By the second, she's more tanned and her hair is lighter.

- Tell Him I'm Not Speaking to Him: Commonly what happens when Flor is mad at Fede and doesn't want to acknowledge him but they need to talk.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Flor can be very protective of Fede, especially if he's threatened. Rosembaum, Martin's therapist, even remarks on it, saying her justifying Fede is often her way of guarding him from (emotional) attacks.
- Weight Woe: Flor during her pregnancy is very sensitive towards the topic of her weight.
Federico Fritzenwalden
Played by: Juan Gil Navarro
Federico is the oldest Fritzenwalden sibling. After his parents' death, he comes back from Germany to take care of his younger siblings. He's engaged to Delfina but falls in love with Flor.
- Alliterative Name: Federico Fritzenwalden.
- Aloof Big Brother: At the beginning. He has trouble relating to his siblings and comes across as cold and unsympathetic.
- Anger Born of Worry: The main reason Federico gets mad with his wilder siblings or is constantly anxious about the family; he's worried he's not taking good care of them and that they'll do badly in life because of it.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Flor in season one.
- Big Brother Instinct: Federico wants to make sure his siblings live a good life and will go to any lengths to make sure they're fine.
- Bonding over Missing Parents: The early episodes focus on Fede missing his recently deceased parents and finding comfort in Flor, who feels the same about her own mother, bringing them emotionally closer.
- Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Federico mentions his parents basically expected him to marry Delfina when he came of age as one of the reasons he's going along with it.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Federico just is unable to admit he loves Flor to her face.
- Can't Hold His Liquor: Federico doesn't drink alcohol, so when he's shown drinking, it only takes one or two glasses to get him wasted.
- Can't Take Criticism: Federico hates being told he's making a mistake. He butts heads with Maia a lot because of this, though it's not uncommon he'll retreat to think, realize his mistakes and make amends afterwards.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Federico shows shades of this when he sees Flor talking to men who seem interested in her.
- Duty That Transcends Death: What makes Federico be rebellious in Heaven and eventually semi-reincarnate in Máximo; he feels responsible for the well-being of Flor and his siblings.
- Fascinating Eyebrow: Fede's eyebrows express a lot more than words ever could.
- Gagging on Your Words: Federico has a hard apologizing to others, especially if he's teased about it, and grits the words out through his teeth.
- Germanic Depressives: What his siblings often accuse Federico of being.
- Grew a Spine: Federico's journey is about learning to put his own feelings and desires above duty and social expectations.
- Guilt Complex: As a result of having to take full responsibility of his family from a young age, Federico feels any mistakes (like his siblings failing or feeling upset) are all his own because he could have done more to prevent them. Also, any deviation from social expectations (since his family name carries weight) he tends to take as him soiling the family's reputation. It's throughout his character arc that he learns to start caring more about his own desires and not feel guilty for them.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Fede with Delfina and Malala. Though at times he can't stand them, and despite how critical his entire family is of them, he still thinks they're being honest with him and have his best interests at heart, so every time he comes closer to the truth and they spin a lie to cover their tracks, he decides to believe them. Only at the very end does he realize how much he's been manipulated.
- Internal Reveal: Towards the end of the first season, Fede has grown suspicious of Malala and Delfina but always gives them the benefit of the doubt... until episode 172, where he finds Lorenzo's lair with every piece of evidence of Malala and Delfina's plot. He proceeds to break down.
- In Vino Veritas: Having been in denial about his feelings for Flor for several episodes and after arguing with her, as soon as a drunk Fede sees her again, he gets lovey-dovey, telling her how beautiful she is and how he loves saying her name. The same happens at his bachelor's party, where in a drunken state, he goes looking for Flor, and declares his love and proposes to her. He never remembers what happened the day after, though.
- Like Father, Like Son: Fede took after his father a lot (they both have a hard time expressing their feelings, both come off as aloof and hard to reach, both love piloting, etc.), and his father's death probably exacerbated it, as he had to take over his father's role of head of the family.
- Like Parent, Like Spouse: It's pretty clear Fede sees a lot of his mother in Flor (the show even points it out when Fede looks at his mother's portrait one episode and sees Flor), and that their personalities mirror that of his parents.
- Marry the Nanny: It's definitely Fede's intention. Too bad he doesn't get to.
- Merger of Souls: When Federico's time runs out and he has to go back to heaven, part of his soul (the "soplo divino") stays with Máximo.
- Parental Abandonment: The Fritzenwalden parents died recently at the beginning of the story.
- Perpetual Frowner: Seeing Fede smile is a rare sight, all the more special when it happens.
- Practically Different Generations: The age difference between Federico and the youngest Fritzenwalden siblings is quite big: he's 24 while Martín is 12 and Tomás is 9.
- Promotion to Parent: Federico gets one in his mid-20's.
- Sibling Triangle: Franco and Fede with Flor.
- Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Fede at his own wedding. He's just found out he's been lied to the entire time, so when the priest asks "Do you want to take Delfina as your wife?" he clearly states he doesn't.
- Strict Parents Make Sneaky Kids: Or Strict Oldest Sibling in this case. When Federico comes back from Germany and decides to impose rules on his siblings, Maia and Nicolás lie and find ways to get out of the house undetected. In general, the siblings prefer getting themselves into crazy plans to solve their problems than telling Federico.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Depending on how his relationship with Flor is going, Fede is either harsh and angry or sweet and more easy-going. His siblings sometimes point this out:Tomás: Mati, ¿tendrá doble personalidad?
- Talking to the Dead: Fede regurlarly asks his parents for advice and tells them he misses them.
- Tranquil Fury: Federico, when especially angry, tends to manifest it like this. The clearest example is his wedding with Delfina: after finding out he's been lied to about everything, he walks into the church with a calm, polite smile, but the fury in his eyes is unmistakeable. He goes on to denounce Delfina and Malala for every hurt they've caused him.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Federico's motivation behind every decision (and his indecision when it comes to Flor) boils down to upholding the family name and making his dead parents, in particular his father, proud.
Franco Fritzenwalden
Played by: Benjamín Rojas
Franco is Nicolás' twin. He's away on tennis tournaments and falls in love with Flor when he comes back.
- Alliterative Name: Franco Fritzenwalden.
- Big Brother Instinct: Both twins show shades of this, as the oldest siblings in the absence of Fede.
- The Casanova: Flor is the first time he's fallen in love, but he's not been lonely in the meantime.
- The Champion: Franco is Flor's. He always defends her against injustices and would do absolutely anything to guarantee her hapiness, and this bond only becomes deeper as the seasons progress and the bad guys get worse.
- Dogged Nice Guy: Franco declares his love for Flor as soon as he meets her but, as she's in love with his brother, she rejects him. He continues trying to convince her, nevertheless. She eventually gives him a chance but it doesn't work out.
- Eating the Eye Candy: Many female characters with Franco.
- Kissing Cousins: Franco and Olivia develop romantic feelings for each other. Though as it turns out Franco was adopted...
- Lady Killer In Love: Franco, The Casanova of the family, falls for Flor at first sight.
- Love Theme: In season one, Flor and Franco have "Ven a mí".
- Parental Abandonment: The Fritzenwalden parents died recently at the beginning of the story.
- Shirtless Scene: Franco has his fair share of shirtless scenes.
- "Shut Up" Kiss: When Franco's at the police station and Flor barges in demanding he be set free in her characteristically loud manner, Franco kisses her to stop her shouting. While Franco is delighted she kissed him back, Flor is left in shock.
- Sibling Triangle: Franco and Fede for Flor.
- Written-In Absence: Franco at the beginning of the story is off playing tennis tournaments and only shows up briefly until he comes back to stay for real. This was so Benjamín Rojas could finish filming the Rebelde Way movie in the meantime.
Delfina Santillán
Played by: Isabel Macedo
Delfina is Federico's girlfriend/fiance, and Flor's half-sister.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Delfina pretends to be friendly to the Fritzenwalden's and those close to the family as this guarantees her use of their fortune, but she can't stand any of them.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Delfina can't stand Federico even looking at Flor. Justified in that he actually is falling for Flor, and Delfina's preferred lifestyle depends on being his girlfriend.
- Driven by Envy: What motivates Delfina's hatred of Flor and all her revenge plots. For her, Flor showed up out of nowhere to steal what is Delfina's (her boyfriend, her father, her inheritance) and no matter the obstacles she puts in her way, Flor still manages to keep getting everything.
- Heel–Face Turn: Delfina in the original eventually repents of her evil and reunites with her husband. The foreign remakes usually avoid this and punish her. The Mexican remake simply has her and her mother end up as maids.
