The only Madrigal without a magical gift, Mirabel investigates the fading magic of Casita after witnessing its cracks.

Her empathy and honesty ultimately become the catalyst for healing the family and restoring the miracle. Bruno Madrigal (played by John Leguizamo) appears in Encanto.
Once a precognitive heir, Bruno was scapegoated for his visions and fled into hiding within Casita. He reveals that his final vision depicted Mirabel as the key to the magic's fate. To protect her from blame, he destroyed the vision but later helps Mirabel by conjuring a new one that forecasts family reconciliation, ultimately returning to support the household. Isabela Madrigal (played by Diane Guerrero) appears in Encanto.
The eldest daughter with the gift of instant plant growth, Isabela is expected to embody perfection and marry the neighbor Mariano.
