Meet My Encanto OC, Lucía Moreno from Just Your Ordinary, Everyday Miracle on ao3!

Full Name: Lucía María Moreno-Hernandez

Age: 41

Birthday: December 13th

Height: 5'3"

Eye Color: Brown with amber/gold flecks

Hair Color:  Dark Brown

Appearance: Medium brown skin. Long wavy dark brown hair, worn in a braid down her back or wound into a bun at the back of her head. Long thin nose and brown eyes set into a friendly round face. Usually wears a white or cream blouse with a brown, green, or blue skirt and practical shoes.

Memorable Quotes:

“I suppose we should be thankful for small miracles, eh?” Ch. 2

“I don't want an out, Bruno. This may come as a surprise to you, but I actually like you.” Ch. 9

“I want to move forward, but I don't want to forget. Sometimes it feels like everyone else is forgetting.” Ch. 16

 “You’re allowed to forgive yourself for the things you regret.  You know that, right?” Ch. 26

General Information/Personality: Lucía is a kind, practical, 'do-what-needs-to-be-done-with-as-little-fuss-as-possible' type of person. She tends to see the best in people, and her upbringing by two loving parents in the safe and protected Encanto has given her a fairly optimistic view of the world. She's very aware of the pain that can come in life - she is a widow and losing her husband in a tragic accident broke her heart - but she tries to focus on the good she sees in the world instead - and to be some of that good herself. If she sees a need and can meet it, she does. She'll step into a situation without question if she feels she can help, but if someone is antagonizing her directly she avoids them (and conflict) like nobody's business. Her desire to be helpful often directly contradicts (and overpowers) her desire to mind her own business. She's a dreamer and a writer, and her favorite stories are ones that include pirates. Her favorite place to go when she needs time to herself is beneath the old cedar tree in the center of her neighbor's corn fields. Her biggest worry and greatest responsibility in life is raising her daughter Josefina well without her husband Alejandro, but she has a loving family that supports her in her efforts.

History: Lucía’s parents were present at the founding of the Encanto, but Lucía and her younger sister Sofia were not born until around a decade later.  Her father is a printer and does his best to keep literature of both the fiction and non-fiction variety alive in the Encanto, and Lucía followed in her father’s footsteps.  She grew up helping her parents set type and bind books, and reading and listening to various stories and informational texts.  She helps run her father’s print shop and makeshift library and took on a larger role in the shop after her mother died when Lucía was in her early thirties.  Half of the shop houses the printing press, typeset, ink, and paraphernalia associated with printing and bookbinding, and the other half holds several shelves filled with books that her parents either printed or salvaged over the years. She helps set type and print orders and helps maintain the small library they have.  She also hosts a story time for the village kids a few times a week.  Her sister Sofia married Lorenzo Rojas, who runs the stables in the Encanto.

When Lucía was in her early twenties, she married Alejandro Moreno, an up and coming artist who went on to paint a mural of the Madrigals in town.  After they married, they worked together on printing and illustrating a large book of fairytales, legends, and fables, which Lucía still uses during her story times.  They also had one daughter together – Josefina – before he died while roaming the mountains around the Encanto in search of materials for his paints and inspiration for his work.

Alejandro’s death devastated Lucía, and she spent over a month afterward deep in shock, grief, and depression, pushing her family, friends, and even her young daughter away.  It was only with the help of her family that she slowly began to heal from his loss and the mistakes she made while grieving him. She does her best to be a present and loving mother to Josefina and does her best to keep Alejandro's memory alive by speaking of him frequently with her daughter. Three years later she is still in the cyclical process of grieving and healing. The night Casita falls, she's helping clean up her sister's barn when Bruno Madrigal shows up with the hood of his ruana thrown over his head, demanding her ‘fastest steed’. 

Though Lucía is quick to befriend him, their romance is what you would definitely consider a slow burn. It takes both of them time to open their hearts to the possibilty of second chances.

The wonderful art at the top of this post is by the lovely @starfangssecrets. ❤

The rest is mine as I attempt to teach myself to draw. Please excuse variations in appearance and shading as I figure out what the heck I'm doing, lol. 🥰

Thanks so much for hosting this fun event @encanto-extended-edition

Encanto OC Event Week 4: Share the Love

Whelp! I'm late! Here's a Doll Divine of Lucia Moreno @16magnolias for her fic Just Your Ordinary, Everyday Miracle. Check it out on Ao3. Just Your Ordinary, Everyday Miracle - Chapter 1 - 16magnolias - Encanto (2021) [Archive of Our Own]

I'm sorry it's not a drawing, but I wanted to make something for you. I didn't know what to do and I couldn't get the creative writing flowing. Hope I made her look close enough to your description. I've started reading your fic and love where it's going. 💖

@encanto-extended-edition

[impossiblefangirl0632]

For @encanto-extended-edition 's week 4 Share the Love prompt, @16magnolias @optimistic-violinist and myself decided to share this extremely niche fanfic we wrote that collides the two world's of our fic Take Back the Kingdom, and Mags' fic Just Your Ordinary, Everyday Miracle and puts Bruno/Razili face to face with Bruno/Lucia

~~~

For two powerful magicians it was frankly embarrassing that neither of them had realized that the cave was enchanted. To be fair though they had run into it to take shelter against the hurricane so the fact that there was a bright, colorful inhabited valley on the other side of it was allowed to be a bit of a shock.

For the couple they ran into though, ‘shocked’ didn’t even begin to cover it.

***

All four of them stared at each other for a solid minute before any of them managed to say anything.

Bruno got to his feet brushing his ruana off and shooting an annoyed glance at the other pair. "Camilo, why are you pretending to be me?" He pointed to the woman dressed as a … pirate? Beside him. “And who are you?”

The other him stiffened at the name and a sinking feeling started to grow in Bruno’s gut. He went from suspicious to dangerous in the blink of an eye as he drew a sword and pointed it at him and Lucía.

"Ooookay so, not Camilo. Definitely not Camilo!" Bruno stumbled back, putting himself in front of Lucía, as though that would help - that sword looked like it could skewer the both of them with no problems. This was bad, this was very bad— 

Without so much of a warning Bruno was thrown into the future.

The other him and the woman back to back, swords drawn, both grinning confidently.

An enormous library in an otherwise dilapidated house.

Multiple ships attacking one.

The same couple with Antonio, his sobrino happily chattering with the pair.

Some sort of pendant, a golden butterfly —exactly the same as the one on the candle— engraved on it.

He staggered back as the last image faded. What was— 

The other version of him stepped into view, the sword noticeably missing. 

“Who are you?” Both of them asked at the same time. 

Bruno laughed nervously and picked himself up, Lucia slipping her hand into his. “Uh, Bruno Madrigal.”

The other him pursed his lips. “What did you just see?”

“Uh,” he wasn’t sure if he should actually say the details, “the future.” 

“Huh.” The other him stuffed his hands in his pockets looking at him like he was a particularly irritating puzzle. “That’s… interesting. Is Camilo… Pepa’s son?”

Bruno narrowed his eyes at the other him. "How'd you know about Pepa?"

“I  -  had a Pepa too.” He pursed his lips for a moment before saying, “I’d hazard a guess that you and I are two versions of the same person.” 

Bruno blinked at him, taking in his appearance and failing to catch the past tense the man across from him had used to describe his sister. The other him was wearing worn leather boots, pants that looked like they'd seen better days, a white linen shirt, and a green overcoat that, in a freakish coincidence, matched the color of his own ruana. It was surreal seeing his own eyes narrowed in thought. The other Bruno - pirate Bruno, his mind helpfully supplied - there was that giant green sword hanging from his hip - did look just like him. 

Like an incredibly terrifying pirate version of him. 

"Huh." He took another look up and down his doppelganger's form, noted the sword, and renewed his grip on Lucía's hand. "Welp. Bye."

He went to pull Lucía away but stopped short when she didn't move with him. 

Lucía jerked him back, squeezing his hand hard, and she tilted her head curiously at both of them.  Her brow furrowed as she tried to make sense of it all.  “But – how?  How are you – where did you come from?  And if you’re – also Bruno – then who –  are you?”  She asked the woman in similar pirate garb. 

“Lucía,” Bruno said out of the corner of his mouth.  A nervous laugh escaped him, his wary eyes darting from her to couple across from them, “It doesn’t matter how they’re here.  The thing is – they’re here , which means – we  - we should not be.  Trust me, I’ve seen  - I’ve seen weird stuff like this in – in films and stuff from the future and – meeting yourself? It never ends well.  Never. Let’s not mess with  - whatever – whatever this is.  Whoever they are.  So - ” he turned and flashed an insincere smile at the strangers.  “So yeah, nice to meet ya, other me, you can just – go back to your timeline now or wherever it is you’re from – swashbuckling and – and sailing the seven seas and yo ho ho and all that - with your – ah – big scary swords and – ah – your – ah - ” he eyed the woman beside the other him.

“Wife,” The woman said, sliding her arm through the other Bruno’s, her eyebrows raised in amusement and concern.  “I’m his wife.  Razili Edel.”

There was silence between them all until Bruno cleared his throat.

“Right.  Well - ”

“I’m Lucía Moreno.  I’m his - ” Lucía nodded to her Bruno with a fond smile – “prometida.”

“Congratulations,” Razili offered with a smile.  “I’m sure you’ll be very happy together.”  She glanced at him. “He seems - ”

“Clumsy?” Lucía’s Bruno supplied flatly.  “Tired. Old.”

Lucía gasped and glared at him.  "Stop that! You are not!”

“I am compared to him!”  He released her hand to gesture dramatically at the other Bruno, who was standing with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed at their discussion.  “Look at him, Lucía, he’s – he’s cool!  He’s basically Ramón from our story in human form. He’s like – the – the opposite of me.  He hasn’t stuttered or flinched yet! And in case you’ve forgotten, he pulled a sword on us!  Which reminds me, we should go -”

“- tell your mother about this?”  Lucía said, her words overlapping his and her arms crossed as she raised her eyebrows at her Bruno.  She didn’t notice that the pirate Bruno across from her blanched at her words, his face going slack with shock.

“I was just gonna say walk away and pretend this never happened, but - ”

“So you think it’s a better idea to just let an exact replica of you wander the Encanto with a sword, drawing it on unsuspecting people whenever they startle him? You want people to talk about Bruno? Because that’s one way to get them started, amor.  They’ll never stop.”

AAAHHHH! Lucía!!! You did such an amazing job! She's beautiful! And oh my goodness I love all of them! Everyone is amazing! And to be in a line up with all those other fantastic OCs?! I'm trying to be normal about this 😅🥰

Thank you greenie, this is wonderful! ❤

Last prompt of @encanto-extended-edition I decided to divide this into parts, this one is OCs whose stories I was already familiar with prior to the event (including my own), and part two will be OCs I got to know through this event! :D

Elena - @thecrazyashley-blog

Claudia - mine

Razili - @impossiblefangirl0632 & @optimistic-violinist

Lucía - @16magnolias

Esme - @emi-g

Yeah both part 1 and 2 will be Bruno gf OCs because that’s just what I’m more drawn to (I like seeing bfs too but y’all know it’s hard for me to get invested in male-centered stories lol). Part 2 will unfortunately be very delayed since my phone screen is broken and I’ll have to wait to fix it or get a new one.

Lucia Moreno Cordoba Lucia grew up in a Gitano family who traveled all over when she was younger. One day she woke up and she was in her aunt Mina's little stone home near the sea. When she asked where her family was, tia Mina told her that she would be taking care of her now and not to ask anymore questions. Later on, Lucia realized that she had been left in Mina's care because of her...condition. Now, she is back to traveling like she had been so used to before, but money is tight so she may have to settle down in a town for a bit.

I cannot explain her condition or anything else for she has a significant role in my story I'm working on xD

Still working on this pretty lady but I'm proud of her! I worked off reference photos of Gitano women and did my damnedest to make her feel like part of the culture. I'm really in love with her nose, you can't see it here but it's kinda like mine and it has made me realize that we do not have a lot of presets for hooked noses, Roman noses, or down turned nose tips

Week 2 Part 2: Lucía's Relationships Continued

Alejandro

Alejandro Moreno was Lucía’s late husband.  He was a few years older than her and several inches taller.  He had black hair and hazel eyes and though he always considered himself of ‘very average’ appearance, his romantic nature and artistic spirit made him a popular target for flirtations in the village.  Several of Lucía’s former classmates were a bit jealous when they began to court. 

He adored Lucía and often got them into trouble, sneaking her away into the jungle to show her a new waterfall he’d found or some viewpoint that inspired him.  He was passionate and headstrong and sometimes let his passions carry him away – especially in the cases of Lucía, his artwork, and defending the town’s scapegoat.

Alejandro, being just a few years older than Lucía, knew Bruno a bit better than she did – or at least remembered the boy he was before he became an anxious, moody teenager.  He always had a soft spot for the seer and had the same mindset that Lucía’s father did – that Bruno had a hard job and didn’t deserve the ire he increasingly got for his visions.  He apprenticed under an elderly artist of the Encanto when he was a teen and went on to paint several murales depicting the Madrigals, and always treated Bruno with the same respect and attention that he treated the rest of the family.  This, of course, made Bruno nervous because it was unexpected – but it did cause him to stand out in Bruno’s memory, even if he didn't trust at the time that Alejandro was being genuine.

Alejandro became a bit obsessed with Bruno’s story, especially after his disappearance, and was the one who insisted on keeping Bruno in the center of the murales as years passed, because – as he joked with his wife – “if we cannot talk about him, at least we can see him, eh?” 

Alejandro and Lucía tried for years to start a family but it never happened until their mid-30s, when Josefina was born. By then, both Alejandro’s parents and Lucía’s mother had passed away.  Alejandro and Lucía were thrilled with Josefina, their ‘little miracle’, and doted on her. Alejandro was a loving husband to Lucía and father to Josefina, but he did allow his obsession with his art to distract him from them from time to time. 

It was his insistence that he needed to wander the forested mountains on the edges of the Encanto to find new materials for his paints that led to his untimely death – a landslide leading to the tragic accident that took him from his wife and daughter. 

Before Alejandro’s death, Lucía’s relationship with the Madrigals was one of polite and friendly respect. Lucía was born too late to be friends with the triplets and too early to be friends with the following generation.  Their social circles did not overlap much and they did not have great need for any of the Madrigal’s services, aside from the occasional healing food from Julieta or the request for Luisa to move their printer so they could clean beneath it or to help rearrange their bookshelves. They attended the same church and the same village-wide parties and were on good terms but not close.

For various reasons, the Madrigals blamed themselves for not being able to save Alejandro, and Lucía was so deep in grief that by the time her family pulled her through it enough that she began living again, she forgot to tell them that it wasn’t their fault.  She couldn’t bring herself to thank them, even though she knew she should.  But she was never angry at them.  She continued to treat them all with polite respect and welcomed Antonio to story time. The Madrigals never thought she blamed them (or assumed she was too gracious and classy to confront them about it if she did), but in classic Madrigal fashion, lack of communication lead to a burden that no one ever needed to carry in the first place. 

Josefina

 “You have my persimmons to court.”

Josefina Carmen Moreno is Lucía’s only child, her pride and joy, her dear heart, her beloved daughter, her corazón…and her constant source of exasperation and worry.  

Josefina looks very much like her mother in her face and body type, but her eyes are hazel and her hair is wavy and black like her father’s. Her hair is always coming out of her braids. She’s a small child with a lot of energy, and is the extrovert to her mother’s introvert. 

Josefina was almost three years old when she lost her father and doesn’t remember a whole lot about him now that she’s a big six year old, but she loves seeing the evidence of him everywhere around her – in the murales of the Madrigal family, in the books he illustrated in her abuelo’s shop, and in the murales he painted in her room. Josefina is an only child with a big heart and the enthusiasm of three kids.  She loves hearing about her father, looking through his art, and listening to her mother’s stories.  In school, she loves reading stories and making things and she hates math.  She’s always wanting to play or be with people – whether it’s her Tía Sofia’s big family (that she is slightly jealous of)  that lives on the other side of town, or her friends Juancho, Alejandra, Cecilia, Antonio, Manuel, and Juan -  she just loves being around people and being in the spotlight.  (As long as it’s positive attention.  If it’s negative she gets defensive and upset.)  She has big dreams and her biggest one is to one day own a bicycle.

Lucía’s biggest goal in life is to raise Josefina well – to have her grow up knowing she is loved, fully and completely, and that she is capable of whatever good thing she sets her mind to.  Even though Lucía is usually too busy or too worried to see it, Josefina already knows both of those things and is completely confident in her place and her abilities.

…sometimes a little too confident…

When the Madrigals stay with Lucía and her family after Casita falls, Josefina enthusiastically embraces her role as hostess; when Bruno sneaks his rats into the house, she declares him to be just like Cenicienta (Cinderella) and immediately takes a liking to him.  She’s stubborn and spirited and quickly becomes one of Bruno’s biggest fans and biggest defenders, and when her mama and Bruno finally fall in love, she readily gives them her approval.

Così, nei giorni immediatamente successivi alla tragica e misteriosa morte di sua figlia Lucia in Germania, «messaggiava» Pietro Raso a Moreno Treo, padre di Christian, il fidanzato della vittima. Venerdì il papà di Lucia, caduta fatalmente dalla finestra del fidanzato in Baviera, è stato assolto dall’accusa di aver minacciato via sms e Whatsapp il papà di Christian: il signor Raso rischiava la condanna a causa di quella e di altre frasi indirizzate al telefonino del signor Treo, che oltre ad averlo denunciato si era anche costituto parte civile in aula contro il genitore della vittima ed ex fidanzata di suo figlio Christian. Il contenzioso si è ora chiuso davanti al giudice di pace del Tribunale di Verona, dottor Giuliano Crivellaro: difeso dall’avvocato Enrico Bastianello, Pietro Raso è stato assolto «perché il fatto non sussiste». La mamma di Lucia: «Noi chiediamo solo giustizia» Secondo il magistrato scaligero, dunque, aver scritto «sappiate che le cose non finiranno presto...quando verrà a galla la verità, sarà fatta giustizia» non integra il reato di minacce. «Se mio marito fosse stato condannato sarebbe stata un’autentica beffa, un vero scandalo - reagisce la signora Xenia Maria, moglie di Pietro e mamma di Lucia -. Sarebbe stato paradossale se, dopo aver perso nostra figlia in circostanze che devono ancora essere chiarite, il padre di Lucia fosse addirittura stato condannato. Mio marito non ha mai minacciato il papà di Christian, la nostra famiglia chiedeva e continua ancora a chiedere solo la verità, tutto qui. Vogliamo giustizia e verità per Lucia, chiediamo soltanto di sapere come mai nostra figlia non è mai potuta tornare da quel viaggio in Germania. A quasi tre anni di distanza non sappiamo ancora cos’è realmente accaduto quella maledetta notte». La Procura ha chiesto l'archiviazione per Christian Treo Il dramma che ha sconvolto per sempre le vite di due intere famiglie, i Raso che hanno perso la figlia e anche i Treo visto che Christian è stato indagato per il presunto omicidio volontario di Lucia, è datato 24 novembre 2020: belli, giovani e innamorati, la commessa 36enne Lucia Raso e il pizzaiolo 29enne Christian Treo stavano trascorrendo un weekend d’amore in Baviera, a Landshut, dove lui lavorava come stagionale in un locale. Quella notte sfociata nel sangue, la coppia veronese si trovava nell’appartamento di Treo insieme ai due coinquilini siciliani del 29enne. Alcol, risate, sembrava un’allegra serata tra amici invece all’improvviso la situazione precipitò: un malinteso, poi forse una lite, finché avvenne il peggio. Lucia cadde dalla finestra al primo piano, perdendo la vita sul colpo. Si aprì così uno scenario di dolore e di dubbi, partirono le indagini e scattarono i tanti, troppi interrogativi che tuttora devono trovare risposta. In questo momento l’inchiesta è giunta a un nodo cruciale e tutto dipenderà dal verdetto della giudice delle indagini preliminari Carola Musio: spetta a lei sciogliere la riserva decidendo se accogliere o meno la richiesta di archiviazione con cui il pubblico ministero Stefano Aresu ha concluso le indagini su Christian Treo prosciogliendolo, come sollecitava il suo difensore Massimo dal Ben, dai sospetti di aver ucciso Lucia. La famiglia di lei: «Ha subìto un'aggressione prima di morire» Ma la famiglia Raso, assistita dall’avvocato Bastianello e supportata dalla criminologa Roberta Bruzzone, non si rassegna all’idea che il caso possa venire relegato in un cassetto senza colpevoli: oltre a opporsi all’archiviazione, è appena tornata all’attacco sui social annunciando sulla pagina Facebook creata appositamente per chiedere la verità su Lucia «clamorosa novità! Dall’autopsia - affermano i Raso su Fb - si evidenzia che Lucia, prima di cadere, ha subito un’aggressione (oppure è stata picchiata: “La corona del primo incisivo in alto a sinistra è rotta”. È emerso anche Un ematoma sotto l’occhio. La perizia della Procura conferma ferite non compatibili con la caduta.   segue....

The Moreno House at 121 Sutton St

Maximo and Lucia Moreno had purchased the house with the intent of never leaving it. Throughout the years of it standing multiple renovations have been done until now. The basement was easily transformed into a small oasis for Gwen and Beatrice. They plan to continue the upkeep and renovations once Gwen finds her own place. She’s been looking in fisher’s cove but has been too afraid to make any decision when what she can afford would need a lot of work she didn’t have time for. @aurorabayaesthetic
