— Tomás to Germán in A Threat, A Song (1)
| ||
Tomás Heredia[1], also occasionally known as Thomas, is a very talented guy and one of Violetta's love interests. He can play the guitar and the piano. Tomás attends Studio 21 with a grant from Beto, who hired him as his assistant. He was born in Spain but moved to Buenos Aires with his mother to take care of his grandmother. Tomás falls for Violetta despite Germán's attempts to keep his daughter away from any boys. After the Studio's show, Tomás moved back to Spain permanently.
He was portrayed by Pablo Espinosa.
Personality
Tomás is attractive, simple, and confident. All his songs reflect his personality and his quest as an artist. When he worked in Resto Bar, Luca always quarreled with him about that he's not doing his job and that he is sabotaging the business, but in reality, he's not like that and he always tries to put everything into his work. This shows that he is very responsible and honest.
Physical appearance
Tomás has black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. His eyes are shown to be green in some of the episodes. Sometimes, he wears an earring.
Character History
Season 1
Part 1
At the beginning of the series, Tomás is a nice, simple, kind, a good person and a good friend who likes to help. When Violetta slipped on a puddle at the end of episode 1, Tomás caught her and they fall in love with each other. Later, Tomás joins the Studio 21, where he makes new friends, pursues his singing talent and he becomes Beto's assistant. Gregorio immediately dislikes Tomás and tries to get him kicked out of the Studio, but Antonio refuses so Tomás stays.
Part 2
Tomás continues to have a rather troublesome stay in Studio 21, with Gregorio often targeting him and blaming his problems on him. He is also in the middle of a romantic saga, featuring Violetta and Ludmila. At the end of the series, he decides to leave Buenos Aires and return to Spain, where he believes his music can progress further.
