The main characters on Elite are the teenagers. This group of characters struggles to deal with the complexities of being a teenager while coping with the murder of a classmate. These teenagers get themselves into a lot of difficult situations and there seems to be little available to them.
This is partially due to the awful parents on the television show. Some parents are absent, some are misguided, and some are just insanely cruel. It is no wonder that some of these children ended up so twisted coming from these households.
Beatriz And Teo
Carla's parents, Beatriz and Teo, are clearly the worst parents on the show. These characters will stop at nothing to be rich and successful. They are involved in shady business deals and Teo regularly pulls strings to manipulate situations in his favor, even paralyzing Christian.
When Carla decides to confess the truth about what happened with Polo, she seems to have Beatriz's , But when Carla is manipulated by Teo into lying, Beatriz turns back into a ruthless and cold character. In season 3 of Elite, these two parents essentially pimp Carla out so that they can protect their wealth, earning them the lowest slot on this list.
Ventura Nunier And Laura
Marina and Guzmán's parents seemed like they were going to have a bigger role in the story. Ventura is in business with Teo and his criminal activities negatively impact his family as well as the of the community. He is immediately established as a villain as he was responsible for the collapse of a school in town. To distract from his negligence, he provided scholarships for 3 students to attend Las Encinas. He is happy to manipulate and threaten others.
Laura and Ventura regularly ignore the pain of their children. They judge Marina for her choices and make it very clear that they do not her. When Marina contracts HIV, they send her to therapy but they don't want to acknowledge or discuss the topic. Though they are mourning themselves after Marina's death, they do not provide any to Guzmán.
Felipe
Lu and Valerio's father Felipe is totally absent. He is unaware of what his children are dealing with as he never seems to be around to supervise them. It is unclear what he is doing with all of his time away from home. When he learns about Valerio and Lu's relationship, he is quick to throw Valerio onto the streets and he plans to do the same to Lu as soon as she turns 18.
Sandra
Sandra is Rebeca's mom. It is clear that Sandra actually loves her daughter and these two share a close relationship. They have been through a lot together and Sandra wants the best for Rebeca, though Sandra does not model the best choices for Rebeca. When Sandra is arrested, she encourages Rebeca to take up her drug-dealing business. She also warns Rebeca about who she trusts in life.
While Sandra's suspicions about Samuel's role in her arrest were correct, isolating your daughter from her peers when she is all alone is probably not the best move. While Sandra is a strong character who believes that she is providing a path to success for her daughter, asking her to become involved with a dangerous business is not the best choice.
Antonio
Antonio is Ander's father. In the beginning, he is present in his child's life. He wants his son to be successful and encourages him to explore his talents. He regularly practices tennis with Ander, pushing him to train and be the best.
Unfortunately, Antonio isn't ive of Ander when he expresses his disinterest in continuing tennis. When learning that Ander is gay, he is unive and remains focused on Ander's future. Antonio's unwillingness to accept his son causes the family to fall apart. Antonio disappears for the rest of the show, save for one hostile interaction on Ander's birthday, and isn't even present during Ander's chemo.
Pilar
Samuel and Nano's mom Pilar clearly cares about her children. She tries to provide for her children but she clearly struggles. She is often absent as she spends a lot of time working to her children. Pilar often appears frazzled and stressed. Still, she advocates for her children despite all of their mistakes.
Yusef And Imán
Yusef and Imán have the most character development out of any of the parents. They care for their children but are very traditional and intolerant due to their religious beliefs. While Imán doesn't have as much development as Yusef, she seems to be more ive and open-minded and she quietly pleads with Yusef to control his anger.
Imán worries that his outbursts will cause the children to distance themselves, and she proves to be correct. Eventually, Yusef begins to grow more tolerant and makes some progress towards accepting his children.
Andrea And Begoña
Andrea And Begoña are Polo's parents. Though these characters serve as secondary antagonists for much of the show, they are actually doing their best to their child. They are unaware that Polo has committed a crime and believe he is being unfairly bullied.
Andrea And Begoña stand up for their son, marching into the school and demanding the mistreatment of him stop. They also listen to Polo, attempting to switch his school when they learn he is miserable and reinstating Lu and Nadia's scholarship at his request. They use their resources to try to provide the best future for Polo and those he values.
Azucena
Azucena is Ander's mom and the principal at Las Encinas. Though some of her choices as the principal are a bit questionable as she is under an immense amount of pressure from parents, she remains a comionate and ive individual in her personal life.
When she learns Ander is gay, she is quick to embrace his relationship with Omar. She even welcomes Omar into her home, though it is partially her fault he needs to leave home. Azucena ends her marriage with Antonio in large part because she does not appreciate the way he treats Ander. She remains a fierce advocate for her son and stays by his side throughout his chemotherapy.
Victoria
Cayetana's mom Victoria is the most sympathetic parent. She works hard to provide the best life for her daughter. Her biggest mistake is allowing Cayetana to treat her with disrespect.
Victoria clearly cares about Cayetana's well-being and feels guilty that she can't provide some of the things others can provide for their children. In an attempt to help Cayetana thrive socially, she even agrees to pretend not to know her while working at the school. Victoria reprimands Cayetana for her poor choices while remaining a positive role model for her child.
