**Antonia Bello** is a character who appears in the animated series, *Elena of Avalor*.

## Personality and Traits

Antonia is a fierce, determined fighter who always dreamed of joining the Royal Guard, but never acted on it until encouraged to do so by Elena.

Her training test became very real when a simulated pirate attack was interrupted by an actual pirate ship appearing, during which she defeated the Pirate Captain and won her place on the Royal Guard.

## Appearances

#### Season Three

* Changing of the Guard

When Gabe is busy selecting new recruits to join the Royal Guard, Antonia offers to substitute to take Armando's place as Elena's fencing opponent. Elena is surprised to discover her new sparring partner has great skill and discovers that Antonia had always watched her father train soldiers, then practiced the moves in secret afterwards, because she wanted to be a soldier.

So Elena encourages Antonia to enlist and Gabe recognizes her name, as her father was well known for his skill amongst Avaloran soldiers. Curious to find out if Antonia shares his skill, he offers her a place in the recruit program.

Antonia's first day doesn't go so well, but Elena reminds her that all she needs is practice and she keeps trying. Her second day goes better, decisively winning a fencing match against Rocco Villalobos and gaining the admiration of the other recruits in the program.

The second part of the day is dedicated to a team survival challenge, the recruits must find their way back from the forest to the castle by sundown. Jealous that Antonia is becoming more popular than he is, Rocco tricks the other recruits into leaving her behind. Unfortunately, this backfires as Gabe points out if the entire team didn't return, then they all failed, which makes the other recruits angry at Rocco for causing them to fail.

Disheartened by the lack of cameradie, Antonia gives up training and goes back to her seamstress job only for Elena to remind her not to give up so easily and persuade her to try one more time.

The sea training simulation is interrupted when the actual pirates attack the Avaloran ship at sea. Elena and Antonia arrive shortly after the attack commences and help the recruits fight off the pirates. Antonia duels the pirate captain and defeats him, taking him prisoner and presenting her captive to Gabe.

Because of her achievement in a real combat situation, Antonia wins her place amongst the Royal Guards, along with three of the recruits in the program. This inspires a nearby girl to want to be a Royal Guard when she grows up.
