Throughout the Series[]
Season 7[]
Joel is a ray of light despite the constant blows life has dealt him. Very humble and surviving day by day, he's clear that he can't afford to have dreams beyond the present. Until, suddenly, the possibility arises for him to make a 180-degree turn in his life.
Season 8[]
Joel's death is the whole mystery in this season. His body is first seen covered in blood. His fights with many characters and the harm of his actions and feelings lead to one of them to eventually kill him.
Physical Appearance[]
Joel is a tall, handsome young man. He has brown eyes and dark hair. He's usually wearing the school uniform or casual clothes.
Personality[]
He is a hard working guy, who thinks he can't afford to have a good future. He's a smiling boy and due to him coming from a poor family, he's a humble person, who doesn't brag about anything. He's sensitive, and, as shown, he worries for people he loves. However, when the members of Alumni arrive to Las Encinas, he acts in a way that could be considered ambitious and behaves indifferent to the harm they do to other people, even his friends.
Relationships[]
Joel and Iván[]
Joel and Iván meet in a very particular situation: Joel is delivering pizzas to Iván's house, but Iván falls to the ground because of his crutches so can't open the door. Joel helps him get up, and they head to his house. When Iván asks him to stay, he accepts the offer. He tells Iván about how much he wishes he was rich, and Iván tells him he's peaceful around him. The two of them kiss, but Joel refuses to take things further, since he's Omar's boyfriend and doesn't want to cheat on him. Iván asks him to be his friend, and offers to pay his school fees. Later on, Iván meets Joel at Las Encinas, and gives him an outfit to wear at a school event. While Iván is waiting for an answer, Joel doesn't know what to do: he likes Iván but doesn't want to break up with Omar, because he's scared that he might get bad again.
