Princess Sofia Balthazar-Winslow Inée Cordova (voiced by Ariel Winter[1]) – Sofia Baltazar is an 8-year-old girl with shoulder-length wavy auburn hair. She has fair skin with rosy cheeks and large light blue eyes. A kind and adventurous village girl who becomes a princess after her mother, Miranda, marries King Roland II. Sofia is a mix of ethnic nationalities: Galdiz, Miranda's homeland, and Freezenburg, the homeland of her deceased biological father Birk Balthazar. After becoming part of the royal family, she becomes the current bearer of the mystical Amulet of Avalor, which Roland made her promise never to take off. It grants her various magical abilities, namely the ability to understand and transform into animals.[2] The Amulet is later revealed to have been the refuge of another princess for 41 years, whom Sofia would eventually release. It can also summon Disney Princesses to help her, with Sofia eventually helping other princesses in need. In the fourth season, after defeating Prisma, Sofia becomes the first non-magical being to join the ranks of the Protectors and, under Chrysta's mentorship, trains to become a Protector, gaining items to aid her such as the Enchantlet and Necessi-Key. After Prisma escapes and allies with Twitch, who stole the Necessi-Key to help her escape, and Wormwood, Sofia must stop her from gaining power through the "Wicked Nine", a group of evil objects that belonged to nine major Disney villains (The Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Lady Tremaine from Cinderella, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Jafar from Aladdin, Shan Yu from Mulan, Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, Mother Gothel from Tangled, and Mor'du from Brave). In "Forever Royal", Sofia is promoted to a full-fleged Protector of the Ever Realm and Storykeeper of the Secret Library. Sofia appears as a teenager in the series finale of Elena of Avalor.
Princess Amber Winslow (voiced by Darcy Rose Byrnes) – Sofia's older stepsister and James' twin sister. She is initially vain, spoiled, and impatient, but over the course of the series Sofia helps her become a better person and friend and she develops a love of astronomy and adventure. Honoring her title as princess, she devotes her life to jewelry and keeping everything clean. She becomes queen of the Island of the Rompkins in The Mystic Isles and is named the heir to the throne of Enchancia in "A Royal Wedding". Amber appears as a teenager in the series finale of Elena of Avalor.

When he does steal it, it curses him for his selfish intentions to use its power, causing him to only be able to use it to help others.[11] Cedric's treachery is later exposed and he admits that the royal family has not thanked him for his services, but King Roland gives him a second chance after he repents for his actions and helps save Sofia and Enchancia from Grimtrix.[12] In the fourth season, Wormwood betrays him and becomes an ally to Prisma to help her and Twitch obtain the "Wicked Nine". Cedric fights him for a crown that he stole from the museum, causing King Roland to believe that he wants the crown for himself. After Wormwood delivers the crown to Prisma, Cedric, along with Roland, aids Sofia in attempting to reclaim the crown from her, during which he saves her from a fissure. Afterwards, he and Roland make amends, with Roland thanking Cedric for saving Sofia and apologizing for accusing him of returning to evil.[13] After he frees Sofia from the Amulet, King Roland grants him the title of "Cedric the Great".
