Daniel is the central character in the Mexican television series 'élite.' He comes from a working-class background and is the first student from Las Encinas public school to attend the prestigious Las Encinas academy. Daniel's personality is complex and multifaceted. He is determined, passionate, and protective of his family and friends. He often finds himself caught between the opulence of his new environment and the humility of his upbringing. Daniel has a strong sense of social justice and a desire for equity, which can often place him at odds with the wealthier, more privileged students. His intelligence and charisma are undeniable, which gain him a sense of admiration from peers and sometimes envy from his rivals. The relationships with his fellow students are rife with complex dynamics, as he navigates the tensions between his old world and his new one, with the occasional romantic entanglement. Daniel's key family friend and ally is Nano, his older brother, who has been recently released from prison. His main opponent is usually presented through class conflicts, most notably with characters like Samuel and his clique, who embody wealth and privilege.
