BIG ANNOUCEMENT

Hello all! It's certainly been a while but I've come with good news!

There have been characters of Affinity that have been sold without others knowing, this has led others to get rather annoyed since they only think one person can buy these characters...

... Well, that ends today!

There are characters of Affinity that I don't have any use for anymore, the old designs from 2014-2020 that I don't use in my current AU have no use to me anymore, and I don't want for them to go to waste without a good home for them to have, which is why I've decided to announce that all the old designs from 2014-2020 that I don't use in my current AU are now available to be sold to the public!

Though, these designs have had a big impact on me, and I would like to say that I don't wish to sell them for anything less than $30. Please keep that in mind!

Thank you so much for reading, I hope these characters will be able to have good homes!

Please ask, I will make a long list of characters that have been sold to some people, in the meantime you can ask and I will let you know if it has been sold or not

list of SOLD characters (still going to be updated

Mariana Rivera Madrigal Headcanons;

Her full name is Mariana Isabela Luisa Rivera Madrigal. 

She was named her dad's mom, both her mom's sisters, and Mariano (who Mirabel and Miguel are both close to). 

She's eleven years old by d3.

She has the gift of Artistic Creation (meaning she can bring artwork to life, her own most easily). 

She is the daughter of Mirabel Madrigal and Miguel Rivera. 

She is a triplet. The other 2/3s of the trio are Marcelo and Marisol. She is the middle triplet. 

Their birthday is October 25th. 

Her favorite colors are green, black, and yellow. Her least favorite color is brown. 

She's a student at the Encanto’s only public school but will likely transfer to Auradon Prep when she's older if given the chance.

She's the only one of her siblings (so 1 out of 5) who doesn't need glasses. She has a phase when she's older where she wears lensless glasses for a solid couple of years because of this. 

Mariana wants to be a famous illustrator or artist when she grows up and has practiced for the position by helping Marcelo and Marisol make a cookbook— among other things. If she can't be either of those though, she'd settle for being an animator or video game graphics designer.

Her gift isn't just limited to paintings or drawings. It extends to statues and toys as well, and even taxidermy (as she learned when visiting a friend's house, since you know, the taxidermied animals in her house were already alive long before she was born).

Mariana will often times bring her toys, the statue of Alejandra in the courtyard, and the paintings in the house alive when she's bored or when one of her siblings/cousins needs an audience for something.

Where Marcelo is a mama’s boy and Marisol is neither a mama’s or daddy's girl, Mariana is a daddy's girl. 

Mariana has been told that she resembles her paternal Abuela Luisa, bisabuela Alma, her Tía Isabela, and her mamá quite a bit.

Mariana knows all the Auradon gossip because she's curious and Marisol is all too willing to tell her.

The eleven year old has been described as wildly curious, courteous, trusting, gentle, and fun loving as well as graceful, clever, imaginative, creative, loving, and well-mannered.

She can also be quite sad, impatient, cautious, lonely, and clingy, but not many people know that.

Mariana wants to go to art school after she graduates highschool.

Currently Mariana is single, though she is also starting to notice boys. 

Mariana is friends with Gronosis of Camelot, and Garanwyn of Camelot. 

Out of her siblings, she's the closest to Vera and Marcelo. She loves Marisol but her triplet drives her crazy and she loves Renata but they don't spend much time together since Renata doesn't like leaving her room often. 

Her favorite aunt is Luisa, her favorite grandparent is her abuela Luisa, her favorite uncle is Ryder, her favorite sibling is Marcelo, her favorite sister is Vera, and her favorite cousin is Silvia.

Mariana and Marisol can out argue Isabela and Mirabel, much to everyone’s displeasure. It is very hard to break up a fight between them if you aren't Marcelo. 

Mariana's favorite candy is Chocolates Madrigal. Her least favorite is fairy bubble gum because the whole memory of it nearly stealing Marisol is a traumatic one. 

Mariana can't stand Marisol and Marcelo's favorite book ‘The Tales of Flynnigan Ryder’ but will occasionally sit through it for them. 

Her favorite book is Catalino Bocachica, but she also likes Zorro, La pobre viejecita, El Terror de Sexto B, Los amigos del hombre, La historia en cuentos, Simón el bobito, and El Renacuajo Paseador. 

Her favorite holiday is Christmas but her second favorite is ancestry day.

Everyone thinks Mariana was the worst of the triplets when they were toddlers but their parents actually confirmed it was Marisol.

Mariana doesn't like bugs or worms, and turns green whenever she sees Mariana playing with her ant and worm farms. 

Mariana's favorite musicians who are not related to her are Celia Cruz and The Sorcerer's Apprentices. She has their albums, CDs, mixtapes, and posters all in her room.

Her favorite song by The Sorcerer's Apprentices is “Charm Me Maybe.”

Bruno is her favorite great uncle .

The yellow flower and the bows she can be seen sporting were gifts from Luisa and Isabela. 

Mariana has a pet elephant named ‘Art’ that Antonio introduced her to. She's taught him how to paint. 

Mariana used to have some one sided beef with Pepa and Arlo because their gifts kept ruining her drawings (Taking inspiration from @igetthedisneybox ‘s oc, Lidia Madrigal, on this one). She's (mostly) outgrown this now.

When Mariana was little, she was really quiet like Antonio used to (and still is to extent) which worried Miguel (like it did Pepa), but Mirabel wasn't as worried about it. 

Mariana is still a bit quiet but less so. Mostly because out of the triplets, she's the one who speaks up when something is bothering one of them (Marisol doesn't like complaining about things she deems childish and Marcelo is much too shy and a people pleaser to do so, which leaves Mariana). 

Mariana does not like going into Bruno's room because of the sand. For reasoning, check reason 10 on this list.

Mariana loves horseback riding (which her Abuelo Agustín taught her) and fencing (which Isabela and Bubo taught her). 

The only time Mariana being quiet ever really bothered Mirabel was when she was a baby—Marisol was colicky and Marcelo was startled easily, so it really freaked her and Miguel out at first until they got used to it. 

Mariana was the messiest of the triplets as a toddler and was the hardest one to get clean because she hated baths and tried to escape them every single time. 

Mariana's favorite animal is an elephant but a close favorite is a hummingbird— which is one of her Tía Luisa’s favorite animals as well. 

She also likes peacocks because they're pretty and remind her of her Abuela Julieta's favorite hat.

Come to think of it, she just really likes birds. 

Mariana collects lots of little things like sea shells and feathers to go into her artworks. 

The only bugs Mariana isn't grossed out by are fireflies because Isabela's room has them and she finds them pretty. It also probably helps that they make it not dark, since Mariana like Luisa and Marcelo is afraid of the dark. 

Mariana's also afraid that she'll never be a good enough artist. 

Mariana used to have two irrational fears: one was that if she got caught in the rain she'd melt and one that if she played with her Papá’s guitar or went in a graveyard she'd end up stuck in the land of the dead. 

She actually used to be really afraid of water in general before she got her gift. Getting it only made it worse. 

She likes her mamá’s door (which has symbols of their family on it) better than her own. 

Mariana knows how to sew but doesn't utilize the skill often. 

Roses are her favorite flowers. Yellow ones in particular. 

Her favorite play is Cruella de Vil on Trial. On an unrelated note, Mariana cannot stand Cruella de Vil. 

She also doesn't like Tourney because she thinks it looks scary. 

Mariana's favorite video game is Hero Rising. 

Her favorite shows are “Auradon’s Classiest Home Videos”, “Widow Tweed’ Neighborhood”, and “Stranger Thingamabobs”. 

She also likes watching Auratube. 

Mariana is … partially responsible for the tv channel ‘Evil Isle’ being removed from air because she accidentally watched an episode of “Cruella de Vil’s Coat Club”. It scared her to tears and well…Abuelita wasn't happy. 

Her favorite business to visit when traveling outside of the Encanto is “The Merry Men Cafe”. 

Mariana also loves flowers, polkadots, and just patterns in general. 

She prefers to sleep in nightgowns because she finds them more comfortable.

Mariana’s been called Mirabel several times by forgetful villagers and doesn't like it. 

Mariana has a stuffed peacock that Mirabel made her when she was a baby that she named “Señora Painted”. 

Has trouble making friends because her drawings are easier to get along with. 

Was very much the kid in school who always tried to eat glue, erasers, paint, etc. 

Chews on her pens and pencils all the time. In fact she has a scar on her lip from when she chewed through the front of her pen and the metal cut open her lip.

Several of her hobbies are related to creativity—painting, photography, drawing, embroidery, gem painting, stop motion, animation, learning to play different types of music, scrapbooking, knitting, crocheting, digital art, sculpting, etc. She wants to learn how to do wood carving too but her parents are holding off on that until she’s a little older. 

She also likes reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing video games, acting (though she’s not good at it), bird watching, and exploring and wouldn’t be opposed to joining a Swords and Shields team when she’s older if her parents allowed for it. 

Can often be seen riding on the back of her pet elephant—something that gave her parents a heart attack when they first saw it. They made her promise to always wear a helmet when she’s on the elephant because they don’t want her to get hurt. 

She made her own bike with the help of her abuelos and both her great uncles, and she, Marcelo, Marisol, Renata, and Vera painted it together. 

Drew a donkeycorn for Silvia’s fifth birthday and brought it to life for a few days. That was how they discovered that Mariana’s gift could have disastrous effects on her health if she keeps the drawings alive for too long. She was out for two weeks. 

She’s thinking of becoming a vegan or vegetarian when she’s older since she doesn’t like most meats but isn’t sure about it right now (Mirabel and Miguel want her to wait till she’s closer to her teens because of the health effects they’ve heard it has on children and she’s keeping that in mind, too). 

She can play the accordion, the piano, and the maracas, and plans to try and learn more. 

Mariana likes learning different languages and can speak English, French, varying types of Spanish, and bits of the romani language (that one Cornel taught her but he doesn’t remember too much of said language so it’s sparse). 

Mariana is jealous of the record player in Marisol’s room because she thinks it’s cool but she won’t admit it if asked by anyone other than Marisol. 

Marisol, Marcelo, Renata, and Vera like to joke that Mariana is ‘gatekeeping the family sight’/ ‘stole all the twenty-twenty vision’. 

She finds skeletons creepy and doesn’t like them. Which is unfortunate because Marcelo dressed as a skeleton for halloween most of their childhood. 

Mariana, on the other hand, made her own costumes—which backfired only once when she accidentally brought her mask to life and couldn’t get out of it (which made her develop a whole new fear). 

She’s a big fan of cosplay and often does intricate ones when able. 

Mariana eats lemons raw.

Mariana can drive—but her parents don’t know that. Only Marisol and Marcelo can. 

Mariana has a black belt and, like her great Tía Pepa, is very good at fighting and has a temper on her.

Mariana chews her nails when nervous. 

Another one of her favorite video games is Fix-it-builds (aka Auradon’s version of Minecraft in my au). 

Mariana is the most fidgety of her siblings. 

She spends a lot of time in the treehouse Agustín, Bruno, Gabriel, and Félix  built for the next gen kids.

Out of the Rivera Madrigal Triplets, Mariana knows the most swears. 

Despite being a bad actor, she has quite a good innocent face that is good at getting her out of trouble. 

Her creations will not hurt her willingly. The only time one ever came close was the time she accidentally brought her halloween mask to life but they eventually figured out that it was just trying to protect her from Marcelo’s costume. 

Once convinced Marcelo for a month that he was found in a KFC bucket next to a dumpster and was rescued after he made her mad (she can’t remember why).

Mariana spends a lot of time with her parental family. More than Marcelo, Marsiol, and Vera do but around the same amount that Renata does. 

She was a bed-wetter as a kid for an embarrassingly long time and didn't have a lot of sleepovers because of it. 

She really likes the band the Donkeyettes and Aziz’s music. 

She’s subscribed to both Aziz and Tulip on Auratube. 

Tulip's channel is “Perfect Perfection and Pranks with Tulip” and is Mariana’s absolutely favorite channel ever. 

Mariana basically hero workshops Tulip now that I think of it. 

(Inspired by Lidia Madrigal again) Mariana got people to finally start remembering her name after a tantrum of hers caused one of her doodle drawings to go on a rampage in the Encanto. 

After this incident several people from Auradon offered to put a ‘hold’ on Mariana’s gift or take it away completely. The people were, of course, chased off by Mirabel, Luisa, and Julieta who were offended by this. 

Mariana was very smug when they found out Santa Claus was real and wouldn’t let Marisol hear the end of it (because of how she told them he wasn’t). 

Had a ‘clone’ nightmare incident one time because she accidently brought a very realistic portrait of her to life while the adults were away and it was left to her cousins to figure out who was the real Mariana. She never brought any picture or artwork of her to life again. 

Mariana is terrified of big dogs. Absolutely terrified. She got attacked by one once who had a bad and irresponsible owner, and has been scared of them ever since (the dog was rehomed to a better owner). 

Mariana has bitten several people for being mean to her family. Mostly people who've been mean to Bruno because there are a lot of them. 

Mariana will burst into song at random for seemingly no reason sometimes. 

She can walk in platform heels.

Her favorite drink is Shape-Shifting Fruit Treats (which a smoothie Julieta makes). 

Her favorite food is Sweet and Savory Corn Balls. 

Her favorite sweet that her family makes is Mystical Gift Cookies. 

Mariana is a horrible liar. 

Mariana is still terrified of  La Llorona. 

Mariana sleeps with a weighted blanket. 

Mariana is clumsier than Marisol but compared to the rest of their siblings and their mother and abuelo, she isn't very clumsy at all. 

She discovered you can hide under rugs while in Casita and now uses that all the time during hide n’ seek. No one can ever find her. 

She proofreads Marisol's books and fanfiction, and edits them when needed. She also writes her own. 

It is very hard to embarrass Mariana and because of that, she is will not hesitate to put herself in embarrassing situations if it means lessening her cousins and siblings’ embarrassment. 

She used to cling to her dad and refuse to let go when she was little whenever they left the house. It was a nightmare when she started school.

When she grows up she plans to get a lot of tattoos and she even has a few decisions for some she had in mind already.

Her door shows her covered in paint, standing beside a canvas with her face on it. 

She has a couple of book shelves in her room along with a radio and a cd player as well as a tv. 

Her baby blanket/quilt is green with yellow roses and a couple of peacock feather patterned squares here and there. 

Her room is about twice as big, if not a little bigger, then the nursery with dark blue, black, and pink bird wallpaper on two of the walls and space where she cannot only draw but paint as well. These drawings are easier to get off with an eraser than they would be on paper. 

Inside her room she has a bed that's big enough to fit her, Marcelo, and Marisol with a green and yellow wooden frame. She has peacock bedsheets and her bed is absolutely covered in pillows and stuffed animals of every shape and size. 

She has a peacock pattern weighted blanket that rests on her bed along with her baby blanket and the green blanket with one of her doodles embroidered on it that her mom made her for her fifth birthday.

The floor in her room is a soft pastel yellow colored carpet that cleans itself. It is the softest carpet you will ever feel. 

The ceiling has the same glow in the dark stars that one of the older kids stuck on the nursery ceiling but it also has glow in the dark hummingbirds on it too. 

After Antonio gave her Art the elephant, she found that her room and door had expanded so that Art could enter and that her room had created a not so little era for him to call his own. 

Mariana’s room also a couple of filing cabinets for her put the drawings she wants to keep, a hummingbird toy chest, a hummingbird chair, and a hummingbird desk. 

She has a couple of pictures of her friends and family up around the room in elephant shaped picture frames. 

She also has a closet where her clothes are stored, a dark room off to the side of her room through another door, and a storage area for her easel and canvases. 

One time, when she had some kids from school over for her birthday, one mean girl wrote some very mean and inappropriate things on one of the walls (which made her cry) and Casita got mad she threw the girl out of the room and out of the house. It caused quite the ruckus but Casita refused to apologize and Mirabel wasn't too keen on apologizing either when she figured out what happened. That girl is still allowed in Casita. 

Got an infection once from doing a stick and poke (a tattoo created by manually poking the skin with a needle dipped in ink). She has a scar from it. She got grounded for that one.

When she's overwhelmed or upset, the drawings in her room refuse to let her leave until she's calmed down . Her creations also are more reluctant to listen to her.

summary: Larissa was compelled to use her annual leave to take care of her nieces for five days; what she wasn’t expecting was that an unnecessarily attractive baby-sitter would be accompanying her as well. 

a/n: The Bouchards are original characters.

warning/s: none for this chapter.

Next part >>

Sunday afternoon, the Bouchard’s family car halted in their driveway, a woman in her early forties exited from the passenger’s side as the kids—Tory and Laura, came bolting out of the door and running toward the woman, engulfing her thighs with their dainty, but strong arms. Enamoured, the woman kissed their foreheads, gently stroking their backs with her soft-looking palms.

Mr. Bouchard—or Adam, as he insistently told you to call him, hauled two suitcases from the trunk, both were no less elegant as the tall woman who exudes a promising character, with the finest, breath-taking, blue eyes. The gods had been so kind to her.

The children peeled themselves off of her as per their mother's request to let the woman breathe, which then was dismissed by the woman with a wave of her hand and let the children pamper her with delightful hugs. They surely loved her.

Bewitched, you couldn’t help but wonder in between Mr and Mrs Bouchard, was the one related to the woman. It was hard to gamble, none of them had any resemblance with her, not with the nose, not the eyes—they all had brown eyes and all brunettes…

Registering Mrs Bouchard’s voice, you snapped from reverie that caught you, “Yes?” she beckoned you to her side. With the little amount of time you took your eyes off her, you were surprised to see the woman was already by the door with the kids clinging on both of her sides, offering a pleasant smile.

Mrs Bouchard took the courtesy and introduced you to the other woman and vice versa. After exchanging pleasantries you offered to take her coat.

“It’s okay. Here, let me help.” Truly, your motive was to innocently help her discard the coat. However, you were attacked at the moment of weakness when the expanse of pale, supple skin made an impression on your eyes. Your mouth gaped at the appetizing sight. She wore a green sleeveless dress, flaunting a good amount of skin that your eyes drink fairly well.

Larissa, who was very much aware of your lingering gaze, cleared her throat and handed her coat over, “Thank you,” and you dismissed yourself, taking her coat, which you secretly inhaled as it was rich with her scent. And your heart clenched in response to the smell. It was new to your nose, smelling of fresh cut flowers and vanilla, with some hint of peach…

While the family started to welcome their guest, you busied yourself tidying the toys the children had played with prior to their Aunt’s arrival. From time to time, your eyes would wander, seeking for the silver-haired woman, it was a challenge not to, her presence seemed to demand attention, your attention specifically.

As an unfamiliar flutter called for your attention, your cheeks consequently warmed. You hadn’t been this engrossed over a person in so long, and while it appeared to be exciting, it also felt melancholic. A woman of her age would certainly not bat an eye at you, you looked young, inexperienced, out of her league. It was never going to work out.

Later, while the children were keeping their Aunt occupied, the wife and husband went about every nook and cranny of their house, checking what else they have missed for their four day vacation in the Bahamas and you watched them dizzily as you munched your sandwich in the breakfast nook.

Panting, Renata Bouchard stopped by, steadying herself by the table, her other hand squeezing your freehand, “Thank you. Thank you so much for doing this at the last minute. I owe my life to you.”

A soft, sincere smile appeared on your lips, “It’s no big deal. I love watching your kids.” And watching their aunt…

Renata couldn’t help herself but pull you into a hug. It was awkward but no less genuine.

“Honey! It’s five! We have to go! We don’t want to miss our plane!” Mr Bouchard yelled somewhere in the house.

“Will you fetch the kids and Larissa, sweetheart?”

-

While the parents struggled with goodbyes, it was also evident that they couldn’t wait and get in the damned car and leave.

When the car disappeared from your eye-line, the kids had long gone and retreated to their own rooms doing God-knows-what that was keeping them entertained. 

A voice bloomed in the background.

“Do you really not speak much?” Larissa spoke with a playful bite in her tone, arching her sculpted brow.

In surprise, your body jolted. You had thought she went inside as well.

“You have seem to render me speechless is all”

“Goodness, tell me it isn’t because I intimidate you, dear.”

You gave her a smile with sheer confidence to deceive her into thinking you weren’t burning with desire and said, “No, not at all, Ms Weems.” As if.

You didn’t know how you broke the eye contact, but you did and walked past her, aiming straight for the kitchen with your poor heart beating so fast. And without another word, you started making dinner.

She didn’t follow. Thank God. But as the pasta boiled and the sauce and meatballs were nearly cooked, Larissa appeared. Before the smile that was quite fixated there already, get you distracted, you shield your eyes away and focus on steering the sauce.

“That smells delicious.” Larissa was standing right behind you now, hovering, if she ever so desired to lean her body forward, her front would have touched yours and your body would have burned from the contact. Lucky you she maintained a tiny space, perfect to torture you.

With clenched jaw, you turn, carefully so as you were mindful of how thin the gap was between the two of you. She looked down at you, “Do you mind?” She wanted to taste it.

“Please, help yourself.” Expecting her to grab a spoon from the drawer, Larissa decidedly not to and just wrapped her hand around yours to lift the wooden spoon and guide it to her mouth catching you off guard. She blew a couple times before tasting the red sauce and licked her lips.

Larisa made a sound, making it known that she liked it, “This might be the best spaghetti sauce I’ve ever tasted in a while.”

You felt her withdraw her hand, and you intently watched it settle on the blade of your shoulder, her thumb affectionately stroking over the skin where the hem of the sleeve just ended.

“T-thank you.”

She smiled one last time—although if you stared longer you would have convinced yourself it was a smirk—before leaving the kitchen, and said something about getting the kids ready for dinner.

A long exhale escaped your lips, your shoulders sagging, unaware of how tensed they were until now. You took a pause, supporting yourself as you grip on the edge of the counter, trying to collect yourself as much. She took a lot from you, the very little time she had you practically trapped between the stove and her body, had drained you.

Your gaze fell on your right hand, the skin still tingled from her touch. Did she know what she was doing to you? Was it deliberate? Because if so, you were willing to play with her, whatever game it was in her head, you would dutifully play the part she wanted you to even if it included acting dumb.

Dinner went civil. The girls enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs without a fuss. You kept yourself collected. She kept her tricks all to herself. Every once in a while, you two would eye each other and just harmlessly smile, trying to see which of you would break first. It was a fun night.

After Larissa guided both twins to clean their hands, Laura spoke, “Auntie, can you read to us before we sleep?”

From the sink you watched her crouched to their level, “Anything for my munchinks,” Something about the woman’s lively, blue eyes made you wish they were looking at you with the same dose of affection she was giving the siblings, her red lips curving into a smile. Your heart almost ached for some bit of her warmth.

The adoration only strengthened at this point, and you knew it would only fiercely grow each and every time she would show off her billion-dollar smile.

You watched the trio disappear in the twins’ bedroom, you chose to stay behind despite the ridiculous longing you felt, giving them the time to bond with each other as it was crucial for Larissa’s first night with the kids and you weren’t going to take that away from her. You didn’t want to be on her bad side.

-

It was still early in the night, only ten minutes past nine and the twins were already asleep without any commotion at all. When Larissa returned with a proud gleam in her eyes, sauntered toward the kitchen to rummaged for some liquid courage, hoping it would spark a nice chat with you. And that was when her eyes found a note on the counter.

“Be right back. Just getting some stuff next door.” It read. The corners of her mouth twitched upward.

When Renata divulged the piece of information to her that you would be staying to help her around with the children before they left, she was more elated with the idea than the other woman anticipated. You looked like a nice companion, although you weren’t entirely there for her own benefit, but still having another grown up around would make this whole experience less nerve-wrecking.

And she nearly cursed when her eyes landed on what she described as an unnecessarily attractive baby-sitter and a very intriguing one at that.

-

Earlier when the kids’ father was pacing around the house looking for his damn keys, Renata told you he was supposed to have already left half an hour ago to the airport to pick up the kids’ aunt. You didn’t know why you expected an old, mean lady, hunched with greying hair wearing a dress and a cardigan combo. Perhaps the way he sweat and paced like he was losing his balls made you think that.

And then surprise, bomb drop, it was a stunning woman with gorgeous red lips. A woman who was dizzyingly attractive with an impressive stature, her elegance called for attention, and it effortlessly captured yours. Fucking hell, Renata absolutely skipped that part.

When your overnight backpack was ready, you left the house, lip worrying between your teeth and hands in your pockets.

The front door opened, Larissa was already settled, sitting on the long couch with her long legs crossed, they were clad in her skin toned tights, you noticed. Her feet were freed from her heels and curling from the cold of the night. She was much more relaxed, more approachable and casual.

“There you are, come and join me, sweetheart.”

Her gaze danced around your legs, finding it hard to keep her eyes off of the skin that your shorts were flaunting. It was a riveting sight. But she urged herself to gather some decency and look away.

The soft glow of the lamps hid the blush on your cheeks quite well. You sat opposite her, “Let me pour you some.” She had a smile curling on her lips.

“So, tell me about yourself, dear. What do you do when you’re not babysitting my nieces?”

“I’m a part time college instructor. I work on Tuesdays and Fridays and sometimes I cover for other professors.” So you were a teacher…

She handed you the glass, you gladly accepted. It causes your fingers to brush against each other.

“Fascinating…and what do you teach?

“Philosophy.” A beat of silence.

Larissa shifted in her seat, somehow it caused her dress to bunch up, giving more sight of her thighs. She cleared her throat, “So, are you married? What’s the deal with you? I can’t seem to read you.”

It made you flushed. “I’ve no husband.” She arched her brows, unbelieving. “A boyfriend perhaps?”

You shook your head. The tension only thickened. “No men.” Larissa knew what you were trying to point out. With a satisfied hum, you saw a fleeting smirk on her lips before she drank the remaining of her wine.

From the visible curiosity in your eyes Larissa tilted her head to the side and said: “What is it you want to ask?”

It prompted your eyes to look into her piercing gaze, “How about you?” pertaining to her status.

“Married.” You felt your finger grow cold right then, breath caught in your throat. “To my job.” She finished.

If you were right, and listened very well, this person here was an esteemed Principal of an outcast academy in Vermont. It all made sense with her posture, the authority in her voice, and her allure—which you were yet to find out if it was because she was an outcast herself or it was naturally all her.

And suddenly, you thought what kind of an outcast she was, but you decided against asking, feeling you’d be imposing.

When silence befallen, you took it as a cue to speak your mind about something that had been worrying since having been left alone with the woman, “I hope you are not offended by my presence. I’m not sure what you were expecting but I’m sure as hell I was not included in the picture yet here I am.”

“Oh no, not at all. Actually it’s quite the contrary. I’m absolutely delighted to have extra hands to help with the kids as I am no mother myself.”

You pressed yourself further into the seat and muttered: “I’m pleased to hear that.” Pleased to which part exactly?

Many glasses later, your eyes could finally roam around without shame, and you started saying things like, “You’re so beautiful.” But mostly they were whispers you meant to keep only to yourself but she heard of them and blushed in response to your kind affection. And you were aware of the unconcealed looks she gave.

So maybe if you tell her now that you find her fascinating and attractive, she would smile at you and tell you she liked you, ending whatever the on-going game was. And then your eyes would linger to her lips, she would ask if she could kiss you and you would nod with trembling urgency to feel her mouth. She would then close the gap and you would be kissing under moonlit night, the bottle of wine forgotten in the coffee table.

The whole idea of it was so tempting. But it wasn’t easy to do. Not even when you were wine drunk.

Now you felt like you were fooling yourself. “It’s getting late, I should go.”

You got up, smoothing your clammy palms over the denim that clung to your thighs. “If you need anything, the room I’ll be staying in is only next to yours.”

Larissa wanted to bid you a good night kiss, so she attempted to stand up but suddenly felt unsteady on her feet, “Oh, careful.” Your body moved close, ready to catch her if she were to lose balance.

Now, you couldn’t leave this woman alone here, could you? “I think I should take you to your bed first.”

She hummed, agreeing to your proposal. Larissa was a silent drunk, she only hummed and nodded, considerably cooperative, too. You got back with a full glass of water and a tablet so she could take care of her headache in the morning.

It felt like hours of being rooted on the floor, on stand-by in case she needed anything more, and then you finally snapped, concluding that Larissa had quietly fallen asleep.

Much to your dismay, there was no accidental kissing that happened.   

“Good night, Larissa.” You finally said, and walked away.

  "Business. And pleasure."

Dreaming of everything, she truly expected nothing as a true daughter of Zaun should - and she always has been one in her heart of darkness and botanic science. As a fragile flower in her appearance, Corina quickly rose to become the youngest chem baroness beginning her industrial journey as other baroness' most precious protegee. Two women found mutual respect worlds apart. They were elements that are destined to differ. Steel and art. One cherished dangerous beauty embodied in delicacy of petals with toxin hidden in every stem. Other was very practical and strict prefering metal and gear. Between Veraza and Glasc there was however always a silent understanding. Eventually, under strong metal wings of powerful Renata Glasc, Corina would blossom growing her very own roots. And her roots were running deep now. In the eye of many Zaunities she was a sorceress. They believed that deep in the glass - shaped cultivars, magic rituals of enchantment took place and Corina herself did absolutely nothing to prove the Downsiders wrong. She walked across Zaun with grace. Intoxicating. Yearning for the world to be spellbound. The connection she created with her plants felt ethereal, unworldly and unreal yet she was no mage, only a talented scientist. Was she? (Silco's quarters, midnight) Corina emerged from shadows slowly walking down the stairs. Her green dress made of luxury lace was sleeveless, revealing legs and mid - calf long. Her gloves were long. Her ankles covered in climbing vines were no tattoo. Toxic plants entwisted her skin with adoration; tight as dark ropes. - Hush. - Corina whispered with love, her tone tender and sweet. Vines vanished. It understood. Veraza wanted to be alone. Flowers in chem baroness' hair formed a subtle tiara of belladonna's wreath. Deadly, poisonous and delightfully poetic. Silco knew his guest's face and she instantly recognised his tall and slender elegant silhouette as well. The Enchantress came closer. She smiled. - I do still have my most faithful messengers in Piltover but for now, the sound of my name is too loud. I was cleared of charges and I am not wanted yet but the young Kiramman is smart. Shouldn't be underestimated. - Recalling the moment of her being exposed and burnt as a master infiltrator, she offered a new perspective. She always did. Corina was one step ahead her rivals but this time her rival was a challenge; another Mastermind indeed. - I will stay away from the Upper City for a while but I have found someone special. He is spineless, corrupted and with no moral code. You will be delighted. I regret not introducing you personally to this young sheriff enforcer. His name is Marcus and he has a daughter. I'm wondering how much he will cost you but he may be useful. Another gift. Perhaps better one than a pet rat but worse than personal seeds of toxic plants?

Gilded Jinx Looks Like What I Thought Chembarons Would Look Like.

Look at her, she looks like an 80s punk pirate queen with bolder coloring than both her gilded and chembaron counterparts, complete with bright makeup (by Victorian standards) and big hair. Zaun is supposed to be set apart from Piltover by the unmistakable creativity and innovation expressed through a loud punk aesthetic that it's inhabitants are meant to embody, at least the younger inhabitants do. The higher up the food chain you go in Zaun, the punk aesthetic filters out with only the Victorian base remaining.

(Finn's a bit of the exception but his aesthetic is kind of supposed to coincide with his self-serving nature rather than a reflection of Zaun's culture.)

On one hand you could argue that it's some kind of social commentary where these violent gangleaders are adopting the aesthetic of their oppressors to take on similar roles. But even chembarons that are antagonistic to Piltover, and frankly just hate Piltover for what it's done to them and their families still take on Piltovan aesthetic. If it isn't a straightforward Victorian aesthetic, then it's more of a fusion of modern business clothing and evening wear. This goes for characters like Silco, Renata, and Corina Veraza.

(Shout out to Silco for keeping it real and stitching his pants instead of getting new ones.)

Zaun, at least in League, is it's own city-state with its own distinct culture, but so often these leaders don't really embody that (once again maybe social commentary, but that explanation only goes so far). Honestly their designs are so dedicated to Piltover aesthetics sometimes it doesn't even communicate their wealth! The thing most of them are all about! If someone has to be in rags for me to know they're rich they're not doing it right.

The chembarons don't all have to be like that, but it seems like they're usually designed to just look like evil Piltovans. The only unifying part of their design that doesn't borrow from Piltover and makes them distinct is their asymmetrical styling and the fact they all either have scars or body mods to accommodate their disabilities, or both.

And here's Jinx in her obnoxiously loud outfit ready for the runway! Yeah her money's new, what are you gonna do about it? She's the right mix loud fun 80s mess with her fishnets and and ripped mesh covered in a fancy jacket lined with ermine fur. It would have been so easy to give her hexgem earrings, but no, they're in chemtech green, hooked with actual screws. The coloring alone says to me the designers couldn't let go of Jinx's Zaunite origins because her character defines Zaun as much as Zaun defines her. You'd almost think she was making fun of Piltover if she weren't wearing her look so well, if wasn't so dedicated to playful asymmetry where here shoes are slightly different, her coattails slant in two different style. Her whole look is so customized to be Jinx sans Piltover, it's just so her. The Gilded universe is supposed to be a universe where everybody's living a comfortably ritzy and safe Piltovan lifestyle and Jinx’s missing an arm. The prosthetic looks great!

The chembarons are supposed be a coalition of leaders in Zaun. Sure, they're gangleaders, but a lot of rich people politics is gang politics. At least some of them should understand that to grow past the shadow of Piltover, they need to embrace the strengths of Zaun, not co-opt Piltie patterns. Gilded Jinx's design understands that so well. If you put these pictures in a line up and asked me to find the chembaron, my safest choice would be Jinx.

Tldr: Chembarons in League of Legends and Arcane aren't very distinct from their Piltovan counterparts. The only real difference is their visible disabilities, body mods, and asymmetry (maybe goth vibes too). Gilded Jinx is a great example of what chembarons could be, leaders with loud and eccentric vibes that actually matches the distinct culture of Zaun itself.

Mieczyław is a changeling who replaced Renata as a kid. They both ended up being trans and I think about that a lot

[ ID: A digital drawing of three people, Mieczyław, Renata, and a child, all drawn from the chest up. Mieczyław is in the upper left corner, looking down with a slightly confused smile. They have exaggerated proportions including a neck that is too long and grey eyes that are too big. They have blue-gray skin, a snaggletooth, and a scar running across their throat. Their hair is shaved entirely except for their bangs and two chunks on the sides, and is white. They're wearing a dark grey shirt and a brown blanket. Renata is in the upper right corner, looking up with a slightly interested expression. She has tan skin, gold eyes, and neck length brown hair. Her skin has patches that are tinted green. She's wearing a sleeveless white top, a gold necklace, blue lipstick, several earrings, and a bright teal laurel. The child seems separate from the rest of the drawing, at the bottom center. The child is very young and reaching up with a delighted expression and has tan skin that is blotchy with red patches, short brown hair, brown eyes, and is wearing a white nightgown. The background is grey, but the space around the child is a lighter shade. Around Mieczyław and Renata, it says "for a brief moment in time, we happened to be", and is continues next to the child, "the same person". End ID ]

Giovanni and Dayana Espinosa Madrigal Headcanons;

His full name is Giovanni Refugio Espinosa Madrigal.

He is the adopted son of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

Giovanni was adopted after Antonio caught him chasing Pico the toucan all alone in the forest when he was one years old. He'd been abandoned not long before.

Antonio didn't intend to adopt the boy but it just kind of happened because he and the family got attached. In less than a day. 

He will be three years old by d3. 

His adoption day is May 20th. Which, if it's anywhere close to his actual birthday would make him a Taurus.

Giovanni doesn't go to school and likely won't be excited when he has to because he doesn't like being away from his father and sister for long. 

He spends a lot of time at Luisa, Ryder, and his father’s Animal Sanctuary and Vet service (known simply as the Encanto Animal Sanctuary for now). It is very likely that he will inherit this business or work for them at the very least when he's older. 

Doesn't know much about musicians but his favorite song is ‘Play That Monkey Music’, which his cousins introduced him to.

He doesn't have any idea that the big sister he adores absolutely cannot stand that song. 

Giovanni is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair—even if he's a little rough with it. 

His favorite shows are ‘The Great Mouse Detective’ and ‘The Thunderbolt Adventure Hour’. 

His favorite book to be read is ‘Simón el bobito’.

Giovanni does not know he is adopted. 

He has been described as playful, friendly,  sweet, clingy, easily excitable, and even tempered as well as quiet, fun loving, odd/strange, sensitive, fair, energetic, patient, curious, eccentric. But funnily enough he’s not really shy at all. 

Not long after he was adopted Mirabel made him a toucan plushie and green, white, and black toucan quilt. 

Eventually he will have the gift of Inverse Zoolingualism—meaning he will be able to speak through animals. 

He is single (because he’s three) and he’s friends with Micha Rivera and Ballard ‘North’ Nattura. 

Giovanni loves both of his grandparents very much but if he had to pick a favorite, he'd pick Félix.

Dolores is his favorite aunt and Camilo is his favorite uncle (including their partners in that statement). 

Outside of his immediate (adult) family, Mirabel is his favorite.

Out of his cousins he's the closest to Amada, Vera, Renata, and Hugo. 

Giovanni loves climbing but isn't very good at it since he's little. He also likes playing in the mud, jumping in puddles, helping Isabela garden, putting on puppet shows, playing with bugs, playing with animals, and chasing after butterflies and fireflies. 

Antonio often takes Giovanni and Dayana canoeing because they find it fun. 

Giovanni also likes hiking/backpacking, jogging, racing, sledding, foraging/berry picking, jumping in leaf piles,  swimming, and playing games like tag, hide and seek, leapfrog, and ‘mud cooking’. 

The three year old also adores playdough and making things out of it, and playing blocks. 

Antonio has his and Dayana's drawings tapped all over the fridge and the walls of his, Ryder, and Luisa's Animal Sanctuary. 

If Giovanni gets upset, you can figure it out pretty quickly because you'll find him hiding alone in a blanket/pillow/couch cushion fort. 

Giovanni also adores finger painting, dancing, and doing obstacle courses that his family set up. As well as playing on the playground.

Being three, he also finds joy in helping his friends and family do little tasks. He's basically become the family's little quest helper.

Loves clouds for no apparent reasons. 

Loves the shows Foodie Folktales (like Veggie Tales) and Abracadabra Avenue (like Sesame Street). 

Giovanni has been given several affectionate names by the family, including but not limited to: Gio, Vanni, Giov, Anni, Little G, Mi pequeño animalito, Cazador, Lambkin, Little Bear, Honeybee, Toucan Sam, pequeño montañero, Pequeño escalador, tadpole, little treefrog, little beedle, leapfrog, ducky, duck, chicken legs, nature heart, and Regalo del bosque (meaning ‘Gift of the forest’). 

Right now, because he doesn't have his gift, he's still in the nursery. Which he shares with Juan and Javier. But when he gets his room it's very likely that it will start looking a lot like Antonio's.

Giovanni is tiny. 

Despite not being the youngest-youngest in the family, he is considered the baby of the family and everyone adores him. 

He loves playing with Antonio’s hair and getting piggyback rides. 

Giovanni's favorite dessert is Cholado. 

His favorite candy is gummi snakes but he also like poison apples. 

His favorite drink is a tie between apple juice and chocolate milk. 

And his favorite food is Empanadas. 

Giovanni is rarely seen without his toucan plushie (which he named ‘Tuca’) and  ‘blankie’. 

One time, the family went on vacation and after checking out of their hotel he realized he'd forgotten to pack Giovanni's blankie after washing it. 

That was the day they discovered that Giovanni could in fact have a complete and utter meltdown. Luckily, one of the hotel workers found it and returned it when Félix’s brother, Gabriel, returned looking for it.

Unlike his extended family, Giovanni actually has two animal companions. A jaguar cub named ‘Cúmbila’ and a baby toucan that can barely fly named ‘Papaya’. 

Surprisingly, Antonio didn't have anything to do with Giovanni getting either of them. Parce’s cub and Pico’s baby bird both just genuinely liked Giovanni despite him not being able to understand them. 

Giovanni knows all the swear words, which he informed a horrified Carlos, Hugo, Leta, and Belinda once when they got in an argument because Carlos swore ,in front of him. 

His first word was ‘papá’, his second and third words were ‘birdie’ and ‘kitty’, and his fourth word was ‘Miércoles’. Agustín was so mortified that everyone knew who was to blame immediately. 

For the longest time, Giovanni didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Always running into danger and giving Antonio grey hairs. But it turns out, he is scared of something: vacuum cleaners. 

He, like Antonio as a child, does not like baths and is always difficult about getting one. The only way Antonio can even get him into the bath half the time is the promise of bath toys and magic bubbles. 

Giovanni isn't allowed in Antonio's room unsupervised because he once nearly drowned in the river in the room but was saved by the river dolphin in it last minute. The three year old was one so he thankfully doesn't remember it very well, if at all. 

The ravenette is constantly trying to help Antonio grow his seashell collection by stuffing his pockets full of ones he finds. These ‘seashells’ aren't always sea shells. 

Giovanni talks to his stuffed animals and toys, and tries to feed them often.

He loves Luisa hugs and will pout at anyone who stops him from getting one (it's surprisingly effective at getting the donkey farmer to leave Luisa alone). 

Antonio had to take him to get rabies shots once after he was bitten by an unknown animal. It was not a fun day. 

Giovanni took it like a champ though and he got a lollipop. 

Hugo dropped Giovanni one time when holding him and cried for hours because he felt so bad. Meanwhile, a then one year old Giovanni, was giggling and yelling ‘Again! Again!’

Giovanni has the biggest and cutest brown eyes you'll ever see with dark brown (almost black) hair that curls slightly at the bottom, dimples, a mole on each cheek a couple of inches under his eyes, and pale sienna skin. He's also missing several of his baby teeth. 

His hair tangles easily and Antonio struggled a bit with learning how to take care of it because he wasn't used to Giovanni’s type of hair. But he's got it down now. 

Giovanni is sweet but he doesn't forget and if you wrong his family or friends, and don't apologize or make up for it, he will not like you solely because of it. 

One time Pepa was in a mood and made it snow. The snow ended up being so deep that it went up to Giovanni’s knees and he sank into it. 

There is a video from that day of him whining ‘Dayana! Papá! I’m stuck!’ as Antonio tries to pull him out of it with Dayana's help: It's one of Pepa’s favorite videos/pictures of Giovanni. 

Giovanni's favorite colors are turquoise, mint green, white, and red. He doesn't like the color grey. 

He, Dayana, and Antonio all get along great with Félix's brother, Gabriel. 

The ravenette can hold his breath for a surprisingly long time. 

Once asked Antonio if “Tío Parce” was his mom. Antonio is still not sure how Giovanni came to that conclusion.

He also quite likes the Monster Pets (like Pokémon) series and pretends that he, himself, is a monster pet. He freaked Camilo out while playing Monster Pet because he wasn't saying anything other than his own name. Camilo thought he'd hit his head or something but no, he was just pretending to be a Monster Pet. 

It should come as no surprise that his favorite holidays are World Animal Day, Dog Appreciation Day, and Christmas (because the three year old really wants to see a reindeer🦌, preferably Rudolph, up close). 

One time he cried because Carlos accidentally dropped his stuffed animal because he thought his plushie was alive and dropping her hurt it. 

Refers to Parce and Pico and Crispi as ‘Tío’ and Bruno’s rats as ‘Tía, Tío, primo, and prima’ all respectively.

Giovanni does not understand why they are not considered adult supervision. 

The little boy is also fully under the impression that Antonio got him from the stork. 

He is the living definition of a ball of sunshine. 

If you make him cry, you will have the fury of every Madrigal within hearing distance rain down on you before you can even blink. Literally in the sense of Arlo and Pepa, in some cases. 

Camilo suspects that Hugo's biological father, Ario Berra Ausentarse, is also Giovanni's biological father but hasn't told anyone because he doesn't have proof other than the fact the two have strikingly similar appearances and the fact that Ario hightails it out of the area whenever either of them are in his vicinity. 

The only reason he's holding the information back is that he is positive he will have to cover up the man's murder if the familia even suspects that's true. Though it's starting to look like that's going to happen regardless because Pepa is getting suspicious of the similarities between Hugo, Giovanni, and Ario. 

He has a pair of duckie shoes that he wears everywhere and he has duckie inflatable arm floaties for when he goes swimming. 

Giovanni has epilepsy. Unfortunately the family discovered this during an incident with Ligera’s gift. Ligera still feels awful about it to this day. 

Camilo tried to prank him one time by giving him a potato as a gag gift. He then proceeded to be baffled when the three year old actually seemed to like and be thankful for the gift. 

There is a video of him, Dayana, and Antonio on vacation somewhere like this one (Giovanni learned the phrase from Carlos). 

Her full name is Dayana Noemí Espinosa Madrigal. 

She is the adoptive daughter of Antonio Espinosa Madrigal.

She is eight years old by d3. 

She was born on April 20th, which makes her a Taurus.

Dayana is a student at the Encanto's only public school and wants to keep it that way. From the way her cousins describe Auradon Prep, it is not a place she wants to be. 

She is very close to her adoptive father and her adoptive aunt, Dolores. 

She has a bird necklace that Pepa gave her.

Antonio adopted her because she greatly reminded him of Dolores, both personality wise and looks wise, and he couldn't stand to see her look so sad. She was more planned than her younger brother, Giovanni (who was adopted a year before her), was since Antonio adopting him just kind of happened while he had much more time to think about the decision with her. 

She was seven when he adopted her after a year of volunteering at the Orphanage where she lived. 

Dayana is closest to José, Renata, Vera, Elmira, Princesa, and Avila out of her extended family. 

She is adorably protective of Giovanni. 

Dayana is one of the few people in the know about the casino in José’s room and even helps him run along with Avila. 

She has a blackmail book that she rarely uses. 

People overlook her a lot, hence how she has access to information in said blackmail book. 

Dayana has quite a few ideas on what she'd like to do when she grows up, including but not limited to: a private inspector, a theme park performer or owner, archeology, and a historian. 

The eight year old has been described as clever, detail-oriented, hardworking, fair, shy, graceful, grateful, curious/inquisitive, firm, patient, helpful, caring, analytical, and occasionally very blunt. 

But she is also cautious, business minded, secretive, sneaky, reserved, passionate, and aspiring. 

Dayana has the  gift of ‘monster sight’, as she calls it. This means that she can basically see monsters that nobody else can, regardless of whether she believes in them or not like the boogeyman. 

This is how everyone finds out that José does not in fact have telekinesis but a monster that he can control following him around. José included. 

Needless to say, people were more than a bit freaked/creeped out. And it was debated for a while whether this was actually a gift or not. 

The family was worried she was unwell for a while but quickly figured out that that wasn't the case. 

Dayana has a pet kitten she got recently after Dolores’ cat, Romeo, brought it home that she named ‘Smittens’. 

Dayana does see the appeal in romance but she's also still eight and thinks boys have cooties, which she does not want, thank you very much. 

Her only friend outside of the family and their love interests is Tiger Lily and Lampwick's daughter, Blue Veronica. This doesn't bother her too much however, because Dayana is picky with who she's friends with. 

Dayana is a big fan of romance novels, horror stories, and detective stories but doesn't like poetry, though most people in the Encanto assume she does. 

She is also a big fan of theme parks and the performers there, and has learned several tricks of theirs from Auratube and how-to-books. 

She absolutely adores learning about history—archaeology especially—and wants to learn as much about it as she can. 

Elmira is her favorite musician but she also likes the band ‘Aladdin and The Lamps’ quite a bit too. Though she finds their song ‘play that monkey’ music to be overrated. 

She doesn't like The Dragon Slayers. She thinks they're too loud. 

Her favorite show is ‘the great mouse detective’ but she also likes watching the ‘Young and the Crownless’ and the ‘Real Princesses Of Charmingsville’. She's technically not supposed to but she's sneaky and rarely gets caught. 

Helped Bruno improve the mysteries in a couple of his Telenovelas.

Her favorite holiday is Valentine's Day.

Her favorite candy is gummi snakes.

She's been to the Heroes and Heroines Festival as well as the Seaside festival, and she adores both of them and hopes that she can go to them again. 

Dayana doesn't like Unification Day or the King Beast Honorary Holiday. She's been trying to understand why they exist lately but Antonio isn't really sure how to explain that. 

But she does like going to the ‘Museum of Cultural History’. It's one of her favorite places in Auradon.

She can't sing. 

Her favorite book to be read is ‘The Enchanted Life of Valentina Mejía’.

She isn't good at video games and doesn't like playing them but she understands why people would find them fun. They just aren't for her. 

Her favorite colors are red and gold but she prefers red. She hates the color orange though. 

Dayana is a surprisingly good climber and has given various family members a heart attack by climbing into faces she really shouldn't be able to reach. Like treetops, the cabinets, and the roof of Casita, for instance. 

She's very sensitive to what happens to animals and once tackled and punched a boy on the playground after seeing him kick a squirrel. Pepa was very proud.

Dayana carries a magnifying glass around with her in her bag. It is very fun to look through when bored.

She wants to learn how to surf but hasn't had the opportunity yet. 

But she has started learning gymnastics, which she finds just as fun. 

She is probably part of the reason José hasn't gotten running his casino. 

José splits his profits with her and Avila. 

Dayana can shut almost anybody down with a stare: she doesn't hesitate to use this ‘power’ to shut up anyone who tries to badmouth her friends and family. 

She’s a very sickly child—though thankfully nothing serious—somehow she almost always manages to catch a cold. 

She gets road rage even if she isn't the one driving. Which, you know, she never is since she's eight. 

Dayana is a nail biter.

She wants to meet Rudolph so badly that it's not even funny. 

She thinks Evie is very pretty and very nice, and if she had a favorite ak, it would be Evie. 

The girl didn't know how to read until Antonio taught her using the method his parents used to teach him when he first started volunteering at the orphanage when she was six. 

Dayana has a very high tolerance for sour, salty, and spicy food. 

She doesn't own a single pair of matching socks. Somehow she always loses one of them and it drives her crazy. 

She likes watching and feeding the birds. She also likes watching the butterflies. 

Mirabel is teaching her how to ride a horse. 

Loves catching fireflies and butterflies. 

Dayana is thinking about taking up falconry and beekeeping when she's older but isn't sure of it. 

She's also taken up wildlife photography after Antonio showed her how much fun it could be. 

The moment Antonio started thinking about adopting her, her door appeared— he doesn't know if it was a sign or if it was just because her birthday was a couple of days away but it's what convinced him that it wouldn't be a bad idea to adopt her.

The day Dayana was adopted, the Madrigal Family had a party for her— complete with gifts and everything. She cried.

She was very spoiled that day. It was really overwhelming but also nice. 

That day Mirabel gave her a handmade red and gold sea monster quilt along with a stuffed toucan with four eyes. Dayana named it ‘Bug Eyes’.

Dolores reads to her often when they spend time together since they both enjoy it. 

Dayana is very interested in the supernatural and cryptology. 

She also wants to know how the Encanto was created and is exploring the mystery in the hopes of finding the answer that no one knows the truth to.

Out of the family, Dayana is the most likely to adopt a monster/cryptid without a second thought.

She is also second most likely to take part in leverage-like heists, with José being the first most likely one. 

Dayana's favorite food is Encanto River Crispy Fried Fish. 

Her favorite dessert is Guava Treasure Cups. She also likes pumpkin pastries.

Her favorite drink is Passion Fruit Butterfly Bliss. 

She likes swimming with the fishes and she likes fishing.

Dayana is one of the few people Arlo will allow to touch his hair. 

Dayana is secretly afraid that if she messes up her family will no longer love her and send her back to the orphanage they got her from.

She's also afraid of getting rabies and does her best not to get bitten by any of the animals she hangs out with.

She doesn't like going to cemeteries because they scare her. 

Dayana can often be found digging around the Encanto, mainly Casita, for fossils and old remnants from history.

She is also fond of mushrooms and plant life—both fictional and real.

Her door shows her peering behind her shoulder at a towering shadow figure that’s grabbing her shoulder. The door frame is red.

The walls in Dayana’s room are a dark red color with a pattern of golden figures of cryptid, the ceiling looks like it was ripped right out of a fairytale with art of monsters, and the floor is made of a white and gold marble.

There are vines dangling from the corners of the ceiling and on the spots of the wall where there aren’t any figures of cryptids there are drawings of animals and cryptids and photos of her immediate family and wildlife. 

She has a waterbed in which her stuffed animals, quilt, and feather filled pillows in one corner of the room with a dark wooden nightstand bedside it. On that nightstand rests a mushroom shaped lamp along with a framed photo of her, Antonio, and Giovanni at the animal sanctuary taken a couple of days after she was adopted. 

She has a walk-in closet filled with shoes and clothes. In the back of her closet is a bookcase filled with detective, horror, and romance novels along with cryptology and wildlife books.

Across from Dayana’s bed is a comfy mushroom rolling chair and a desk where she can read and draw. Above her desk is a tv embedded in the wall where she can watch her favorite shows and listen to music. 

She also has a fairy shaped toy chest beside that and a little area where her little detective kit is. There’s also another door on the side where her photography darkroom is.

When Dayana gets overwhelmed outside of her room she is not able to shut the monsters out of her sight and when she gets overwhelmed inside of her room, the monsters on the wall light up and come to life to defend her.

Heavy Is the Crown

Hair floating in the depths of her underwater palace and soft breeze caressing fragile, longing skin. Peace. That is all she ever wanted to feel but realized it only now as the pure sensation of tranquility shivered through her spin. Head resting as if on a water pillow, eyes razor sharp. Open and curious, green irises focused on the chem baroness sitting right next. The smoke that escaped Corina's lips was green with shades of grey. It was dense enough to cover her face with ethereal cloud. She observed in silence and once it faded, she mumbled: - The secret lies in the dose. Once rafined, Zaun Grey can be used as a drug. The effect it gives reminds characteristics of opium. Your muscles become delightfuly numb, your mind leaves astray. Drugs are not all but it surely will be profitable enough. What interests me more are what higher doses do to human nervous system. The water was warm and the air was humid. Above them there were cultivars of toxic plants making the area Corina's personal heaven; her very own kingdom in Zaun. - Do you need more subjects, Corina? - Renata asked, warm drops dancing on her skin drying fast as she emerged from water. Her body was athletic and strong leaving no wonder she could endure combat as fine as she fought with magic. She was taller, older, more experienced but no more in position of power when it came to Corina. Renata was proud to see her protegee rely on her very own expertise and building herself underground empire. She enjoyed the monster she so eagerly created and Corina was ambitious. All Renata had to do was to plant a seed; dare Veraza to dream. - No, thank you. Another study of mine concerns life sustaining. - Corina smiled exposing her toxin inducing fangs. Beautiful and deadly. - Perfect. Yet, the last time we spoke, you were fascinated by shimmer. What has changed your perspective? - Shimmer is his empire. Silco already makes profits. I want to give him something more and prove my worth in the Eye of Zaun. Zaun Grey has endless potential. - And so do you, Corina. Very wise indeed. Wishing to be the queen, you must remain unique and strong in the eyes of man. To be the wife, always aim for being one and only. Kings may have as many whores as they please but they want a queen that is equal to them. - I will never be his equal. He is far above me and I don't very much mind him to be. He is inhuman. Celestial. - The youngest chem baroness stood up, leaving the bath. Her skin was delicate, body almost fragile with hour glass curves and long legs Veraza loved so much to reveal in public with her bold dresses. - Be his. Support him but be careful what you wish for, heavy is the crown. And the Kiramman? - The only daughter, an heir to family fortune and secrets. Intelligent and military trained. Still she's nothing to me but merely a pawn, an obstacle I must meet on my path to glory and crown. Anything new about her? Renata chuckled. - Her preferences surely will make our plans easier. Wait and see, my beloved Corina. Seduce her. Make her vulnerable, enamoured by your presence. Make her trust you. Make her love you. And remain immune.

Project Thunder: Behind the Curtain

So the Gummi Ship team manages to get through the Firewalls undetected and find themselves in what looks like a labyrinth of maintenance tunnels. They start the search, sneaking their way past the Twilight monsters and Brobots that patrol the halls, but for obvious reasons they're not exactly sure where it is they're supposed to be going. That is, until Cursor starts getting command box messages from someone called "Waypoint," giving them directions and alerting them of incoming guards. Obviously they're suspicious, but they go along with it for now due to a lack of better options.

As they go deeper, the Twilight and Brobots are joined by other, much more intimidating robots. Ones that Samurai Bob recognizes as minions of his world's version of Worm. Definitely concerning, but they don't have time to investigate.

Eventually they reach the room with the keys, where they finally meet Waypoint. It turns out he was there with them the whole time, as a little green snail stuck to the inside of Rob's hat. He assumes his true form, a vaguely humanoid shadow thing about the same size as Mickey with big pink eyes and a green hooded cloak, and introduces himself as Overseer's offshoot who's been stuck in here and became what he is now ever since Renata was taken. He wants to get himself and Tulip out of here, and decided to help these guys when he realized why they were here. Anyway, the keys await, and the only way to get them is through Comedy and Tragedy.

As you'd expect, two relatively weak Programs (even if one of them was specifically designed for combat and damn good at it) and a bunch of character-levels (one of which is a seemingly ordinary, if blocky, child) against two Programs designed to be the assistants of Firewalls is a bit rough. Rough enough that it leads to a very interesting reveal.

So, Rob kinda gets smashed at one point. The little shadowy creature that's actually Rob is pretty badly hurt and the scarecrow body is damaged beyond repair. This of course upsets Steve and Welony quite a bit. And in Welony's case, it reveals that her reincarnation didn't get rid of all of Majora's power, because her eyes change to that burning orange and she starts cycling through her inventory until she hits a collection of Mob Heads. She puts one of them on and suddenly Tragedy has an extremely pissed-off enderman all up in her face.

Yeah she can now use Mob Heads (and potentially other things) as transformation masks. And proceeds to exploit this new power to absolutely body the (admittedly reluctant and already worn down) programs before her.
