Encanto: Bruno Madrigal —Aesthetic

Bruno Madrigal's Character & Personality

Bruno is a man somewhere in his fifties who's the youngest triplet child of Alma and Pedro. He was gifted with the ability to see the future. Due to his precognition gift, Bruno has been labeled as someone who "makes bad things happen" by others when he's merely the requested bearer of the news. He's kind-hearted, caring, fairly comical, quiet and shy. Unfortunately, Bruno is easily nervous and suffers from anxiety. He's insecure and avoidant because he believes others' accusations of his gift causing problems. Bruno is described as introverted and socially awkward. Whenever he had a prophecy, he inadvertently hurt or angered people, causing him to retreat from society to avoid upsetting anyone. Bruno's gift made him paranoid and fearful of his surroundings. Thus, he uses a sand-based ritual to help focus and control his power. As a result of living ten years in isolation, Bruno developed odd behaviors, like knocking on wood, stumbling, muttering, and two alternate identities to keep himself occupied. Though he claimed to be fine alone, he actually missed his family and wished to be with them despite their negative perceptions of him. Since his gift didn't live up to his mother's expectations, Bruno is intimidated by her, even though he wants to make her proud. Beyond this, he's gentle with animals. Bruno befriended the rats living in Casa's walls, sharing what little food he has with them and enjoying their company. When the house crumbles, he takes them with him before escaping. Bruno even accepts his nephew's animal friends, letting his capybara's join the vision and allowing the coatimundi to hang from his shoulder. More than anything, he's selfless with a strong love and loyalty to his family. Despite the way some treated him, Bruno isn't spiteful and has a forgiving heart. He's willing to do anything to protect his relatives from being treated the same way he was. This is because Bruno's greatest wish is to help his family, especially his older sisters and brother-in-laws. The misunderstanding at Pepa's wedding arose from his attempt to help her relax and embrace her emotions with an ill-worded joke. Although the townspeople were afraid of him, Bruno happily works with them in rebuilding the house, having a close bond with them. After he's reaccepted into his family, he becomes more cheerful and enthusiastic.

How Well Do You Know Alma Madrigal?!

A/N: A lil Mother's Day fluff, Encanto style!!!

Mother’s Day has been nothing but loving bliss in La Casa Madrigal. That in itself is making Alma nervous. Bruno, her youngest child and biggest mama’s boy ever, has not given her a gift yet. It’s nearing the end of dinner and not once has he given her a brand new book, or flowers or even new jewelry that she’ll never wear (she might this year though).

Not that she’s expecting much from him, considering that only a year ago he was hiding in the walls of his own house. Still, he’s always gone out of his way to give his mamá a nice gift to show her how much he loved her… and also to one-up his sisters. When the triplets were children, they used to make a game out of Mother’s Day. Every gift was especially bought or made in order to impress her, and to win the award of best Mother’s Day gift that year.

The intensity and the competition lessened as they got older, and as Alma and Bruno’s relationship became more strained. However, even with the tension between the two, Bruno always ensured his mother had a lovely Mother’s Day gift. So how is this year any different?

Come to think of it, Mirabel hasn’t given Alma a gift either, or rather, any gift relating to a series of very specific questions she had asked Alma the other day. Her favorite colour, what holiday did she and Pedro meet, when she puts her slippers on, how she takes her tea, etc. Alma had no idea what that was about, but she answered all of Mirabel’s questions willingly, even one that was supposed to be “a secret”.

As dinner comes to an end, Bruno stands up and taps his glass, catching the family’s attention. Alma gulps.

Bruno clears his throat. “As you know, today is Mother’s Day, and you know what that means. Presents for our glorious mamás.” He gestures to his sisters and Alma. Alma raises an eyebrow.

“So to celebrate my own wonderful mamá, I have created a wonderful new game show! Everyone come to the living room, please!” Bruno dashes out of the room, Mirabel hot on his trails. The rest of the family exclaim in excitement and confusion. Mirabel suddenly runs back in, wearing a comically large pink bow tie around her neck and a top hat the same colour of Alma’s dress. She walks over to her grandmother and holds out a hand.

“¿Nosatras iremos?” she asks. Alma laughs and takes her hand, allowing the girl to guide her to the living room, where a huge painting has been set up, bearing the words “¿Qué Tan Bien Conoces a Alma Madrigal?” Bruno holds his arms out, beaming.

Alma bursts out laughing. Bruno had mentioned once before how in the future, people will partake in “game shows”, where questions are asked and the right answers are rewarded. This explains Mirabel’s questions.

Bruno glows with excitement as he guides Julieta and Pepa to three coloured wooden podiums, each painted in their signature colour, before taking his place at his own green box.

Mirabel guides Alma into her comfy armchair while the rest of the family gets settled in their own seats. Once the family is settled in, Isabela sprouts a large flower shaped like a sphere.

Mirabel takes it and asks, “Who’s ready to play our favourite game?”

She and the family yell out, “‘¿Qué Tan Bien Conoces a Alma Madrigal?’!”

“Welcome one and all! I’m your host, Mirabel Madrigal!” Mirabel continues. “In this game, three contestants will answer questions regarding their mother, and the winner who knows her best will be crowned this year’s favourite child!

“I’ll ask a series of questions related to Abuela, and if you know the answer, tap your toucan and say it loud and clear! Right answers will get you 10 points each, and wrong answers will subtract 10. If any question stumps you, you may ask one audience participant to help you. Good luck!”

Bruno, Pepa and Julieta raise their hands, ready to tap their toucans at the first question. All three wear the same look of determination, the kind that Alma used to see when they were kids. Dios mio, she’s missed watching them play like this.

A rat pushes a box of cards towards Mirabel. She picks one up and says, “OK, first question: What holiday did Abuela and Abuelo meet at?”

Julieta taps her toucan, who squawks. Mirabel turns to her. “Julieta?”

“¡Día De Las Velitas!” Julieta says.

“That is correct!” Mirabel says. In the audience, Agustín and his daughters cheer loudly.

“Next question: what time does Alma put on her purple slippers?”

Bruno’s toucan squawks. “4:30 pm!”

Mirabel winces. “That is incorrect, sorry, Tío. Anyone else want to try?” Bruno’s confident smile fades.

Pepa’s toucan squawks. “4:35 pm!”

“Tía Pepa is right! Ten points for Pepa!” Pepa’s family cheers.

“Ha! I told you so, Bruno! You didn’t believe me!” Pepa teases. Bruno playfully sticks his tongue out at her.

“Give me a break, I was in the walls for ten years! Things might have changed!”

“That specific schedule never changed, Bruno. Are you going to keep using that excuse for every question you get wrong?”

“If it makes you mad, then yes.”

“NEXT QUESTION!” Mirabel yells. “How does Alma take her tea?”

The next hour is pure joy for Alma. She laughs at her children’s antics as they answer each question, quips between triplets and shouts from the audience making it all the more fascinating.

“I told you she likes the blue ones more, Pepa! Who’s the dumb one now?!”

“Mamá, what do you mean you didn’t like the soup I gave you when you were sick?! I thought you loved that flavour!”

“Tío Bruno, it was the butterfly earrings that Manolo the Fourth rescued from the sink! Manolo the Fourteenth just told me!”

“I WAS RIGHT?! I was just guessing!”

30 questions later, the triplets are tied. The family sits at the edge of their seats as Mirabel takes the last question out of the envelope.

“This final question will determine the true winner and favourite child,” Mirabel warns. “This last question is worth 1000 points. Contestants, are you ready?”

A chorus of “yes” rings through. Mirabel takes a card out of her dress pocket. The triplets lean forward, hoping to ring in first.

“What is Alma’s favourite hair clip?”

Ah yes, the trick question. Alma had come up with it herself, given that she never wore hair clips any more. But surely one of the kids remembers the pretty bird-and-branch beaded hair clip she used to wear during church and fiestas. Then again, they were eight when she last wore it.

“Is it shaped like a candle?” Bruno guesses, half-jokingly. Mirabel shakes her head.

“Does it have a butterfly on it?” Julieta asks.

“Surprisingly, no,” Mirabel says.

“Was it a gift from Papá?” Pepa questions.

“Actually, my sister gave it to me,” Alma says. “It was a birthday present.”

Silence follows. Alma purses her lips in frustration. How do none of the kids remember?!

Mirabel nervously turns to the audience. “What about you guys? Do any of you know?”

Agustín and Félix both look confused. They’ve never seen Alma with anything in her hair other than the ribbon used to hold her bun.

“Is this a trick question? I mean, I’ve never seen you wear anything other than your usual bun and a sunhat,” Félix finally says.

Alma can’t believe it. Surely Isabela, who she has told many stories of her youth to, would remember? Has Alma passed it down to her already? Alms turns to her.

Isabela wears the same stumped expression as her mother.

“Have I not told any of you about my favourite clip?” Alma asks. “I still have it upstairs! I can bring it down and show you.”

Mirabel raises her hand. “I know about it. I can get it-”

“Yes, I told you for this game, but-”

“You were showing me some of the stuff in your room while I helped you clean it out,” Mirabel continues. “I was around four at the time? I still remember it being in the first drawer of your bedside table.”

Now that Alma does not remember. Still, she thanks Mirabel and lets her run upstairs to grab it.

Soon enough, Mirabel returns with the bird-and-branch hair clip, still as pretty and as new as the day Alma received it.

“That’s your favourite hair clip?!” Bruno exclaims. “Huh. I don’t remember ever seeing that.”

Murmurs of agreement ring through the crowd. Alma shrinks in her seat. How much of her life had she hidden away from the family?

Sensing his mother’s embarrassment, Bruno clears his throat. “Um, well, in that case! Mirabel Madrigal, as the winner of this year’s Mother’s Day game, you win the privilege of presenting Mamá with my real Mother’s Day gift!”

Mirabel’s jaw drops. “Wait, what?! Tío Bruno, are you sure you want-”

“To do this? Yeah!” Bruno says. He whistles, and Casita rolls in a large box with the biggest green bow known to Alma sitting on top.

“Or Casita can do that,” Bruno says. He nudges it towards Alma, bouncing on his toes. “Go on, open it up!”

Alma laughs at his excitement as Mirabel unties the ribbon and opens the box. She and Bruno lift the present out…

“Oh my!”

Bruno has painted a beautiful picture of the family at a beach, sitting under trees as they enjoy a lovely picnic. Alma is seated in the center, a lovely smile on her face.

“Earlier in the month I had a vision of all of us finding a beach outside of the Encanto,” Bruno explains. “I decided to turn the tablet into a painting! It was a beautiful vision, the best I’ve had in a while.”

“I asked the animals the best route to get to the beach! They can lead us!” Antonio adds.

“So what do you say? Tomorrow we have our first ever beach day?” Bruno asks, eyes sparkling. Behind him, Julieta and Pepa glance at each other in mock disappointment, knowing they’ve lost this year’s Mother’s Day competition.

Alma laughs. “Of course. Gracias, Brunito.”

@windsson (plotted starter)

Life in the Encanto had been quite different for everyone since the gap in the mountains had opened up. Knowledge of the once-isolated community had proven to spread rather quickly once its citizens became free to explore and conduct business out in the world that lay beyond its borders.

As such, the tiny village found itself receiving newcomers more often than ever-- and no longer were they just desperate refugees who always happened to stumble across the valley in their greatest times of need. No, they were visitors from all sorts of faraway places and unique walks of life, most of them traveling there out of curiosity towards the place that had somehow managed to keep itself off of any map for just over five decades.

Some of them, however, came in search any truth to the tales about a place of miracles and magic.

Although all the members of la familia Madrigal were expected to assist any person in the town's limits, visitor or otherwise, Bruno had largely tried to keep his distance from most of these strangers unless specifically requested to help. He had always felt extra awkward around people he didn't know too well, anyway, and the absolute last thing he needed was to somehow trigger the local rumor mill into once again soiling his not-yet-completely-clean reputation with those outside of his family. However, as much as he wanted to continue to keep himself out of the way of any potential scrutiny, he knew there was good reason for him to be at least somewhat involved in such affairs now, as the arrival of the Encanto's two most recent travelers had been heralded in one of his visions.

It had been a vision of two men, one old and one young, walking together-- with the older one rather roughly pulling the younger one along by the arm as he stumbled behind, a walking stick of some sort grasped in his free hand. ...It hadn't been either a good vision or a bad vision, per se, it had just been a vision. But even so, he knew from lots and lots of prior experience that if any person made even the smallest, briefest appearance in a vision, it meant without the shadow of a doubt that fate had something planned for them.

Upon recognizing the two men as they walked into the valley in the exact manner that he had seen in the vision just days later, he had made the decision to report what he had seen to his mother, who had in response given him the short, simple advice to "keep an eye on them," and keep her in the know of any further developments.

So, that was exactly what Bruno had been doing over the past couple of days-- keeping an eye on the young, blind man, Makani, and his father as they sought to fulfill their goal to curing Makani's condition with the help of magic food, all the while silently wondering if such a thing was even possible to accomplish. Agustín and Mirabel had both been eating Julieta's cooking for years, and it hadn't cured either of them of the need to wear their glasses, so was it really going to help someone who completely lacked sight?

Nevertheless, Julieta, ever the kind soul she was, seemed to certainly have been trying her best to make something work, and thus, Makani had been spending a great deal of time eating meals at la casa Madrigal as they slowly made their way down the list of every recipe in her repertoire. During many of these mealtimes, Bruno had been attempting to sit within earshot, never speaking but always observing and listening to what was going on in a way that he hoped wasn't too obvious. ...Well, not that Makani could see him trying to gather more information, but still.

Yes, it was nosy, but it had to be for the greater good, right? Makani and his father had to have been in the vision for a reason, and he wanted-- no, needed to know what it was.

He was currently sitting in a chair near the corner of Casita's dining room, only really half-reading the book he held in his hands. Julieta had disappeared into the kitchen to work on her daily batch of healing arepas, while Makani's father had gone off to do... something or other, leaving his blind son alone at the table to eat the rest of the soup that, like all the other food he had consumed in his time here, had seemingly failed to restore his eyesight.

A few of the floor tiles beneath the chair suddenly shifted in a familiar gesture for attention, and Bruno glanced down quizzically at them.

"...What?" he asked the house in a barely-audible whisper.

A few more tiles rolled up towards where Makani was finishing his food, followed by the floor giving another small nudge to Bruno's sitting spot. Casita spoke in a language only the Madrigals could understand, and to Bruno's trained mind, its message was clear as day. Go talk to him.

He hesitated, an all too familiar feeling of shyness washing over him. Sure, talking to the other man might've helped him in his quest to figure out what his vision had meant, but other than a passing greeting or two, he had never actually spoken to Makani before.

"...I-I can't-" He was in the process of saying when the tiles suddenly shifted hard enough to nearly knock him out of his chair.

"Ah-! Okay, okay... Geez..." Knowing he wouldn't be winning this fight, Bruno sighed as he stood up and closed his book, being sure to give the floor a quick glare before making his way over towards the table. He knew Casita only wanted the best for him and the rest of the family, but boy, could the house be pushy sometimes.

If Makani had heard his footsteps, or the soft knocks he had performed upon the wood of a nearby wall for luck before approaching, he didn't show it. Bruno was never sure how to start conversations, especially with strangers, but eventually mustered up the courage to take a deep breath and speak.

"Um... hi." he greeted softly, giving a small wave on instinct despite the fact that the gesture would go unseen. "...Er... Makani, right...?"
