Description
Nine-year-old orphan Bernard was adopted by the De la Vega family as an infant, becoming their ward and a cherished family mascot. Slender with fair skin, mahogany brown hair, and teal eyes, he typically wears a golden cream-yellow long-sleeved shirt and brown pants. As his alter ego "Little Zorro," he dons a white long-sleeved shirt, blue vest, black hat, cape, mask, and tall black leather boots.
Lively, quick-witted, and cheerful, Bernard is regarded as a son by Don Alejandro and a brother by Diego. He plays an unconventional "Cupid" role in Diego and Lolita's relationship while assisting with farm chores. Discovering Diego's secret identity as Zorro early on, Bernard becomes his sidekick, adopting the "Little Zorro" persona to fight tyranny. He aids missions through eavesdropping, information gathering, and employing unorthodox tricks.
Found near death from fever by Diego years prior, Bernard formed close friendships with village children Manuel, Sergio, and Leona, and developed a romantic interest in Nikita. His bond with his bulldog Figaro is significant, including a tearful reunion after Figaro was temporarily abandoned.
Bernard demonstrates remarkable resourcefulness and physical agility, engaging in rooftop chases and parkour-like maneuvers during missions. Despite his youth, he holds his own against adversaries using trickery and environmental weapons. This loyalty sometimes places him in peril, like a near-fatal encounter with closing walls where genuine terror required Zorro's comfort before they resumed.
His development includes forming a heartfelt friendship with Lady Barbara, the Governor-General's wife, who considered adopting him due to shared experiences of familial absence. Bernard declined to stay with the Vegas, though they pledged never to forget each other. His compassion extends to others, like reassuring the distressed flower girl Pepita of Zorro's friendship.
Operating independently or alongside Diego as Little Zorro, Bernard undertakes reconnaissance and diversionary tactics. He endures scoldings from the boisterous maid Maria while remaining integral to the Vega family's daily life and secret vigilantism.
