In the short-lived Mexican series, Belén was portrayed by Ana Serradilla;[2][3] she is played by actress Flávia Monteiro in the Brazilian successful adaptation of the serial, in which the character is named Carolina "Carol" Correia.

[6][7][8][9] In every version of the story, the character is a young woman who gradually becomes a maternal figure for several orphans living in a manor, known as Rincón de Luz.

[11] Belén is not featured in Chiquititas Sin Fin, which plot focuses on the character of Magali "Lili" Garcia, a woman in the search for her lost son.

Initially, Belén lived with her best friend Clarita, her sister Letícia, her niece Sol (Daniella Mastricchio), and her younger brother Piojo (Guido Kaczka).

She became unable to adopt Sol, and in order to provide the girl all the medical assistance she needed, Belén should definitely leave Martín's life, and so she did.

As Martín leaves Buenos Aires with Gaby, Ramiro repents and decides to tell his sons the truth about Mili.

Belén and Martín were no longer together when she first met doctor Facundo Brausen (Fernán Mirás), after Jimena, one of the manor's orphans, suffered a serious accident and became paraplegic.

Later, she meets Alejo's supposed identical twin brother, Manoel, who has moved to the Harmony Alley, where the manor is located.

Belén finds out the truth about Manuel's true identity, while she needs to once again fight in court, now against Martirio, for the custody of all the orphans.

Belén writes her story alongside the orphans in the Book of Life ("El Libro de La Vida"), and tells them that they now shall seek for their true happiness.

Belén is not directly a character in Chiquititas Season Five, but Maria knows about her story due to the Book of Life, which the little girl has somehow acquired.

The Book is the only connection between both stories, and Maria follows Belén's messages about faith and hope, creating a new Rincón de Luz in the granary.

After the children become once again homeless, they are taken back to the Rincón de Luz manor, guided by a shooting star, in Chiquititas Season Six.

In the Chiquititas feature film, Belén is a young woman who lives in a world of fantasy and music, and is surprised by a tiny elf named Tok.

Immediately after starting to read it, Belén ends up in a small, adorable village, where she meets Alejo, a charming but rude sourdough.

She follows a note in the streets about an orphanage in need of a cooker, and is taken to that place, where the orphans are actually treated as slaves by its owners, the redoubtable Colonel and his attendant.

Their relationship is destroyed by his father's constant blackmails, and Júnior decides to leave Carol with his sister Gabi, who is mentally ill.

Carol allowed Dani to live with her father, and found Maria in the streets, taking her to the Raio de Luz manor and developing an intense mother-and-daughter relationship with the little girl.

Fernando's little son Diego wanted his family reunited and asked his father to take care of Andréia (as she is sick) first, and then live with Carol afterwards.

After she wins on court, Felipe assumes the identity of Manuel, to stay closer to both Maria and Carol, for whom he has fallen in love.

Carol is a Psychology academic and works as a waitress at the Café Boutique, which belongs to Júnior's wealthy family, the Almeida Campos.

Carol tries to run away with Dani, but fails and succumbs to José Ricardo's blackmail, breaking up with Júnior and meeting the charming medical doctor Fernando, neighbor of the manor.

Before an ill, redeemed José Ricardo dies of heart failure, he formally nominates Carol as the manor's new admin, for Carmem's anger and the chiquititas' rejoice.

Carol then grows as a mother to the orphans, giving them enough care such as advising Mili when she has her first period, helping an overweighted Rafa to improve his health and making him, Binho and Mosca show interest for their school obligations.

She eventually manages to place Dani at the orphanage, and later finds Maria, a little, shy and quiet girl in the streets, making the manor her home as well.

Carmem eventually manages to get Carol fired from her position by accusing her of stealing from the institution's budget, putting Cíntia (José Ricardo's unscrupulous "girlfriend" who ran away after her true intentions were uncovered) back in her place, so they can find an assumed treasure, hidden inside the old Raio de Luz manor.

In the end, Carol and Júnior get married, she reassumes her position in the Raio de Luz manor and gives birth to a son.

As the Mexican version of the show has only one season adapted, Belén's storyline was the very same except for the series finale, where she ends up with Martín Morán.
