Set in the magical hills of Colombia, Disney's Encanto tells a very short story about the Madrigals family. In the Encanto family tree, every member of this household has a special gift except the protagonist, Mirabel Madrigal. Let's view an overview of the Madrigal family tree: from grandparents to cousins, and how the entire family is gifted.
Main Character: Mirabel Madrigal
Mirabel Madrigal is indeed the crux of the story. Unlike her other family members, she does not have any magic powers. Yet, she plays a pivotal role in bringing the family together and saving their magical home. As the entire movie shows, she realizes during events her real gift is to be able to bind her family together during the tough time.

Grandparents: Abuela Alma and Abuelo Pedro Madrigal
At heart, she is the matriarch of the family, Abuela Alma. All the efforts she makes for safety are to keep her family together and preserve the magic for their protection.
Abuela Alma had a husband, Abuelo Pedro, who died saving the family during a bandit raid. His sacrifice led to the creation of the magical house that now shields the Madrigal family. Even without any magic powers, Abuela is essential to the family, being its guide and protector.

Parents: Julieta and Agustin Madrigal
Julieta Madrigal is Abuela Alma’s firstborn. She has a special talent for healing people through the food she cooks. It is quite helpful since Agustin, her husband, is very clumsy and often gets hurt. Julieta is caring and kind-hearted, so she is the chosen successor to the family after Abuela Alma.
Julieta and Agustin have three children together: Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel.

Siblings: Isabella, Luisa and Mirabel
Isabella Madrigal, the firstborn among all children of Julieta and Agustin, possesses instantaneously the power to produce plants and flowers. Isabella has beauty and grace radiating from her, but unfortunately, she always finds herself in that kind of situation where she cannot be perfect, thus causing her inner conflict.
Next is Luisa Madrigal, who acts as the second-born child. She has superhuman strength and, among the Madrigal family members, is always relied upon to do the heavy lifting. Looking strong outside, yet inside, Luisa suffers the mental pressure of always being "the one doing the heavy lifting.”

Aunt and Uncle: Pepa and Felix Madrigal
Pepa Madrigal is Abuela Alma’s second child. She has the ability to control the weather, but her emotions often influence her power in unpredictable ways. When Pepa is happy, the weather is calm. When she’s upset, storms arise.
Pepa's husband, Felix, is her opposite, always positive and cheerful. Felix helps balance Pepa’s emotional weather, providing a sense of calm. Together, Pepa and Felix have three children: Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio.

Cousins: Dolores, Camilo and Antonio Madrigal
Dolores is the firstborn child of Pepa and Felix. She has ultra-hearing and can hear sounds, even from a distance. Her gift often makes her privy to family secrets and hidden conversations.
Camilo Madrigal is the second-born son. He possesses magical powers to shapeshift into anyone he wishes. Camilo loves to play up a lot. He's so mischievous that he indulges in a lot of fun pranks with his talent. He contributes much energy to the story through all that humor.
Antonio Madrigal is the youngest son of Pepa and Felix. Antonio has the ability to communicate with animals, and this ability is revealed throughout the film. Antonio has a special connection with nature and the creatures around him, and he is the character who brings a new ray of hope to the Madrigal family.
Uncle: Bruno Madrigal
Bruno Madrigal is Abuela Alma's youngest son and is Mirabel’s uncle. He has the special ability to see the future, but because his predictions often bring unwelcome news, he is shunned by his family and community.
Feeling rejected and lonely, Bruno chooses to live in isolation within the magical house. However, with Mirabel's support, he eventually comes to understand that his gift can play a vital role in helping his family overcome their challenges.
