two families thousands of miles apart, both similar but oh so different. the romanos are a family that was granted powers generations ago but chose a darker path than most would. the madrigals are a family granted powers as well, they didnt cause any harm to the world and if anything made it better. the two families had shared nothing but pure hatred for each other, spending their days hoping the other would disappear. the romanos decided they would send their 15 year old daughter to columbia to see how the madrigals lived their lives. the madrigals had never thought anything like that could've happened, no one knew it was going to happen except for one who was long gone.if the families had looked past their differences and possibly joined together they couldve done so much. the main thing holding them back was the romanos, even before the powers were granted they caused chaos all over italy. it was easy to tell who in the family would be the worst in the future, and that would be victoria. her parents being the absolute worst people raised her the same, leaving her no choices and just keeping her focused on doing everything properly. her power, mind reading, would come in very handy for the family and their work.
in the madrigals, most members of the family were quite nice. they were everyones favorite family, making everyone happy with their tricks. camilo, the shapeshifter, put most people before himself to make sure everyone was happy. they lived in a small village that seemed to have just formed itself overnight and protecting itself with mountains and forests. camilos abilities can come in handy for his family, being able to shift to taller or shorter people on command.
another difference with the families is how they viewed the abilities once thought not possible. the madrigals call them blessings which normally is things they use for good and view as gifts. on each gifting ceremony they call it a new gift and gifts are good. the romanos see it as only power, a way to be better than everyone else in italy and eventually the world. at their gifting ceremonies they dont say much of anything, they figure out the gift and use it.
the romanos decision to send victoria on a plane would be seen later on as a horrible decision for both sides as actions made by her would change the everything on both sides. why would it be bad for the madrigals, if its bad for the romanos it must be good for them right? it would seem that way to most others before they see what had actually happened during her short time in encanto.
january 12th is the day she would leave on her plane to a whole other continent. what day is it now? january 11. in the span of 3 months much happened, families views shifting and relationships starting but also ending with more along the way. who was the one who knew the absolute chaos that laid ahead? why wont he come back and help?
flashback
"tell me, what does the future say about our relationship with the romanos?" the elderly woman asked her son countless questions of what laid ahead.
his curls blocking his eyes were pushed aside while he formed a vision, looking into the future and finding it all out. as he stared down at the vision his eyes widened in shock. he saw the families all together, most fighting while two were on the side together. victoria romano, the enemies child, and camilo madrigal, his nephew, seeming to be holding on to one another for support.
"what did you see?" his mother asked, seeing his reaction to the green glass.
"it'll stay the same, no differences." he lied.
he knew it was still bad, worse than bad. he knew about his niece and what the future held for her. that combined with what he had just seen was enough to send him away and go into hiding for as long as he could. that was 10 years ago.
