La Esclava Blanca (The White Slave) is a Colombian Telenovela set between 1821 and 1843. Victoria Quintero was born as the daughter of Don Diego Quintero and his wife Maria; when a rival landowner burns their farm down and kills them, an infant Victoria is adopted by his slaves, who escape into the jungle and join a community of Maroons. When the community is recaptured 12 years later, Victoria escapes to Spain, embarking on a quest to return one day and free her adopted family.

Middle Child Syndrome: Inverted with the General’s children. Alonso, the middle son is the gentlest and most well-adjusted of the three. Though the general clearly preferred Joaquin the oldest, he has an incredible soft spot for Alonso and it’s the youngest, Gabriel, who’s the black sheep of the family.

Slowly Slipping Into Evil: Nicolas is a villain from the word go, but he does initially have some redeeming qualities (his relationship with a slave, trying to help Miguel). As the series progresses he looses those qualities until he finally tries to outright murder his son, which shows that he's beyond redemption.

Freudian Excuse: Apparently Adela’s husband and Nicolás’s father was horribly abusive to both of them but by the time the audience learns they’ve both committed so many atrocities it’s worth no sympathy points. Jesus and his sister also have one in how their mother (a white woman) was beaten to death by her own father for having children with a black man.

Sympathetic Slave Owner: Played with; while Victoria's father is relatively benevolent the show doesn't sugarcoat the fact that he is still a slave owner (while he's willing to give Tomas his freedom he's notably hesitant to let his wife and daughter go free as well). Granados' wife is also relatively nice, but even she ultimately comes to believe slavery needs to be abolished.
