In the body of a 16-year-old, Elena is tasked with taking care of her family, ruling the kingdom and restoring it to greatness.
"What I love most about Elena is she's her own hero," Carrero said in an interview with ABC News. "There's no Prince Charming, so I hope people at home watching will just be inspired her sense of self, her confidence and her leadership."
