## Official Description

*Raised to believe that dogs are vicious animals, Carlos used to have an irrational fear of canines. Carlos used to live on the Isle of the Lost but when Prince Ben decided to make his official declaration that four VKs could come to Auradon. Everything changed when Carlos arrived in Auradon and met a real dog, Dude (the campus mutt), and the two soon became inseparable.*

## Personality

Carlos is one of the nicer VKs and the youngest out of the original four (Carlos, Jay, Mal and Evie) and is rarely seen doing anything bad. Having been treated as a slave for a long time, he is obedient and dislikes the idea of going against authority. He tends to follow what his mother tells him to and what his friends do. His mother claims he was a follower rather than a leader, and Carlos longed to prove her wrong.

Being younger and physically weaker than the rest of his class, Carlos was often a target of bullies. Despite being looked down by the majority, Carlos has shown to be a lot smarter than them. He is a true tech prodigy, having had worked feverishly on a project that would connect the Isle of the Lost to the outside world.

Although he inherited his mother's love of fashion (especially if it's in black-and-white), he didn't inherit Cruella's love of dogs ― on the contrary, Carlos is deathly afraid of dogs. Cruella raised Carlos into thinking that dogs are killers, as well as vicious, rabid pack animals. As a result, Carlos had an extreme fear of canines, practically allowing them to chase him up a tree. Carlos realized that dogs can be gentle and lovable when Ben introduced him to Dude the campus mutt; the two then developed an unbreakable bond.

Carlos cares about his friends deeply and sees them as his older siblings. Evie was the first person that he ever considered as a friend. The two grew closer after Carlos rescued Evie from the trap that Mal set up. In *Descendants 2*, Carlos noticed that something was troubling Mal and requested the rest of his friends to sit down and have a talk, even though he didn't know how to start a "girl talk." He is extremely supportive of all his friends, and even calls them his family.

One of Carlos's greatest attributes is his character. He is extremely loyal, willing to follow his friends (family) wherever they go. He is honest, admits when he feels down, very clever, witty, and asks for advice when he needs it. He keeps the team together, and tries his best to be helpful to the others. Carlos is fun-loving, and holds good clothing styles. And as most would say, very good-looking.

Carlos is currently dating Jane, the daughter of Fairy Godmother, they have a good and pure relationship.

One thing to note however, Carlos isn't as calm and collected all the time as it seems. Push him hard enough and he'll lose it as shown with his grandmother Queen Leah and his rival Chad (although with Leah, she at the time didn't know Carlos was the boy that Aurora and Phillip lost all those years ago). He is also very flawed and not your typical "prince" or experienced member of royalty like his biological family

## Trivia

* Technically speaking although thought as a VK, Carlos is actually a VK and AK. He was born as a Auradon Kid but raised as a Villain Kid
* Considering the fact that in D4, He's revealed to be the son of Sleeping Beauty, that can partially explain his purer side of him, and his cynical and sometimes witty side may come from the isle although its shown that Lonnie can be witty and sarcastic too.
* Carlos would be the second kidnapping victim in Auradon with the first being Rapunzel.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Cruella De Vil

Out of all the VKs (its debatable if he's even a VK at all considering in D4 (roleplay) he was born in Auradon but he was raised on the isle so technically hes both), he arguably has one of the worst relationships with his villain parent. This is shown by the fact that she was not above using him like a servant much like Lady Tremaine treated Cinderella like a servant. Its also said that it was also both physically and emotionally abusive added with the fact Cruella ripped Carlos away from his true family and isn't even her birth son. Carlos wants absolutely nothing to do with Cruella.

#### Unnamed Adoptive Father

Carlos's father during the time on the isle was the Husband of Cruella De Vil. It is implied he, unlike Cruella, geninuely cared for Carlos's well being and Cruella killed him when Carlos was about 3.

#### Aurora

Aurora (also known as Sleeping Beauty) is Carlos's real/birth mother. Despite the fact they were apart for fourteen years, The two finally reunited when Carlos was 15 and all of the the villains escaped. Aurora loves Carlos with all her heart and the feelings the same with Carlos as the two are finally together ready to start over when the villains are defeated. Also in contrast to Cruella who was abusive, neglectful and overall a bad parent, Aurora is kind, sweet, motherly; all things a mother should be.

#### Phillip

King Phillip is the father of Carlos. Despite the two not interacting too much during the Descendants 4 Roleplay, its shown in other roleplays that the two have a good father/son dynamic and get along. Phillip was, understandably, extremely heartbroken when Carlos was taken away from him and Aurora (before they even gave him a name). Phillip does teach Carlos a bit about romantic advice, how to be a man and overall the Father Figure Carlos never really had aside from Cruella's dead husband.

#### Audrey

Audrey is Carlos's older sister (one year gap, Carlos is 15 and Audrey is 16). At first when Carlos and Audrey first met without knowlage that they were related, Audrey didn't antagonize him like she did with Mal but she implied that she had a very low opinion on the VKS with Carlos included and would even turn him, Evie, jay and Ben into Stone in Descendants 3 as The Queen of Mean. However, after Audrey apologized for everything at the end of the film, Audrey started being a lot nicer and more friendly to Carlos and the two became good friends. Audrey would even stand up for Carlos against chad at the beginning of D4 when Chad was antagonizing him. When Audrey found out the truth that Carlos is the boy that Cruella ripped from their arms that the two never told her about, Audrey was instantly loving and welcoming to Carlos and willing to welcome him into the family. Carlos and Audrey get along very well and have a good brother/sister relationship.

#### Queen Leah

Like Cruella, Carlos has a pretty antagonistic relationship with his grandmother Leah except without the abuse. Queen Leah still holds her outdated opinions on VKS and tries to get the other Auradon Heroes to turn against him (it doesn't work). Leah before she knew Carlos was her biological grandson was rude and passive agressive at best and outright mean at him at worse where she would say things that geninuely hurt him and shrug it off as "no big deal." Even after finding out the truth, Leah favors Audrey more despite the fact Audrey extremely dislikes her due to her treating Carlos like trash. Carlos and Leah try their best not to interact much.

#### King Stefan

Unlike Leah, Carlos has a pretty good relationship with his grandfather as they do spend time together especially when Aurora and Phillip are in a disagreement or a fight (like typical parents get in from time to time) and although he loves and is dedicated to his wife, he tries keeping his wife and grandson away from each other as much as possible.

#### Flora, Fauna, and Maryweather

Flora, Fauna and Maryweather are Carlos's (as well as Audrey's) godmothers . They seem very delighted during Carlos's return and treat him with just as much Kindness as they give Audrey and Maryweather was ready to go and magic blast Cruella on Carlos's behalf but didn't when Carlos requested her not to as he doesn't want any more drama with her.

### Love Interest

#### Jane

She held an initial fear of VKs including Carlos. After the Family Day incident she wasn't above ridiculing the VKs out loud but mostly Mal. During the end of the film, she accepts the VKs and even dances with Carlos. In *Descendants 2*, Carlos really wants to ask Jane to the Cotillion, but he always chickens out at the last moment. With the help of Dude, he manages to ask her and finds out his strong feelings for her are reciprocated. They tell Fairy Godmother at the Cotillion and are seen dancing and laughing as a couple at the end.

### VKS

##### Jay

Jay is Carlos's best friend. The two are usually seen hanging around each other and interacting positively though they tend to get into fights throughout the film due to Jay's aggressive dominating thieving personality. The two fought with each other over eating candy in the limo and then Jay tried stealing a thing Carlos wanted. The two both enjoyed playing video games. The two also joined the Tourney team though Jay was far more successful due to the skills he acquired from thieving. However, after being taught by the coach that being a team meant working with each other, Jay insisted Carlos be included in the game and the two won.

##### Mal

Mal is the leader of the reformed VKs so he often followed her lead. She often had to remind him to stay focused such as when he was distracted by video games when they were supposed to be discussing where the wand was located. Despite this the two are shown to be close friends as she cheered for him when he won the Tourney tournament with Jay. She also managed to convince Carlos to join the good side as she understood him well enough to know he enjoyed being with Dude the mascot dog and being at Auradon. Their friendship did turn a tiny bit awkward after the reveal that Carlos is the son of the woman that was cursed by her own Mother but they brushed over that pretty quickly.

##### Evie

While the two had less interaction, they were shown to be close. In the past, Evie was Carlos's first friend and even gave him his first pillow. The two were shown getting along as she cheered for him during the Tourney tournament. While the two did not have much interaction during the film, the two were shown to get along. She cheered for him during the Tourney tournament and it is revealed in the past that Evie was Carlos's first friend, he also considers her to be the sweetest girl he knows.

#### Ben

While the two don't interact much, the two were shown to get along well in the film. Ben tried to socialize and be friends with all the VKs and he helped Carlos get ready for the Tourney tournament and getting accustomed to dogs through the mascot dog Dude. The two are shown to interact positively in Wicked World episode 10 where he let Jay hit Carlos for not helping them when they were turned into dogs until Mal pressured him to help.

##### Lonnie

She didn't interact much with him though she saw him, Jay, Mal and Evie bake cookies and asked if his parents did since she thought the VKs' parents loved them, he didn't answer. Lonnie apologized for being insensitive.

##### Doug

He had no interaction with him but it can be implied they got along due to their association with Evie.

#### Auradon Heroes

##### Belle and Beast

While Carlos never had any direct interactions in the movies, Carlos seems to be on good terms with the two of them plus he's friends with their son Ben.

##### Fairy Godmother

Fairy Godmother is Auradon Prep's Headmistress and a teacher to Carlos and his friends during Redemptive Goodness Class and shes also the mother of Jane. Carlos, being Jane's boyfriend, tries to make a good impression on Fairy Godmother as much as he can to prove to her that he is the right fit for Jane despite not being the Prince. Fairy Godmother really likes Carlos and tries to be supprotive of him and Jane as much as possible so the two have a good relationship.

##### Anita and Roger Radcliffe

Anita and Roger Radcliffe are the heroes that Carlos's "adoptive mother" faced 20 years ago. Carlos did meet them and is on good terms with them.

##### Rapunzel

Rapunzel is one of Carlos's closest friends. Rapunzel and Carlos got along even before the reveal but especially after the reveal. Rapunzel knows how it feels to be taken away from her real family by a villain and was very sympathetic to him while Carlos was trying to (understandably) process it all.

##### Cassandra

Cassandra and Carlos only started interacting directly when the villains broke out but the two got along and became good friends, not only for Rapunzel but they actually hit it off pretty well
