Storyline
Princess Elena Castillo Flores has been freed from the Amulet of Avalor by Princess Sofia and has saved her magical kingdom of Avalor from the evil sorceress Shuriki. As she had been trapped in the amulet for 41 years while Shuriki ruled the kingdom, she must now learn to rule as its crown princess. Since she is only 16 years old, she must follow the guidance of a Grand Council, composed of her grandparents, older cousin Chancellor Esteban, and a new friend, Naomi Turner. Elena also looks to her little sister, Isabel, her friends, wizard Mateo, and Royal Guard lieutenant, Gabe, a spirit animal named Zuzo, and a trio of magical flying creatures called Jaquins for guidance and support.
In the first season, Elena adjusts to her new life as crown princess, while learning to master the power of her scepter. At the end of the season, Elena learns from Quita Moz of the Sunbird Oracles that she will soon be facing a darkness and will be tested on her bravery and leadership; if she fails, she will never become queen.
In the second season, Elena spends time preparing for her test while simultaneously facing Victor and Carla Delgado, who have teamed up with Shuriki, who has her powers restored. She also befriends the Sirenas of Nueva Vista, and enlists their help to defeat Shuriki.
In the third and final season, Esteban is revealed to have been in on Shuriki's original takeover of the kingdom more than 41 years ago, and is banished from the kingdom. Meanwhile, Elena is granted new emotion-based powers after falling into a crystal well in Takaina. She spends the season preparing for her coronation as queen, learning to control her emotion magic, and facing down the Delgados' wicked matriarch, Ash.
Elena's adventures lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience, and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders.
