Mirabel- the golden goddess

Life 1

Life 1

My first life was a happy one. Before the age of 5 it was. My mother, Julieta, told me that one the day I was born was special. I was a premature birth, born two months before my supposed due-date. My Tio Bruno has this happening with his gift of prophecy, and warned my mother.

A was born during the night. The first thing I remember seeing when I opened my eyes was my mother's beautiful face and brown eyes. Then the second thing I saw was the stars. I'm at my home, Casita. There is an open roof, when looking up you can see the sky. My mother had me not in her room, but in the middle of our Casita's entrance way.

When asked why my mother did this she just shook her head. "I don't know why but a deep part of me just knew I had to have Mirabel under the stars. That she needed to see them."

My family was convinced that I was magical, more magical than any other Madrigal. In a way, that's true. But after my failed gift ceremony, when my supposed door vanished and turned to dust before my eyes, the family knew I wasn't special.

Life after that was different.

My family still loves and cares for me. I am their daughter, cousin, niece. But they treated me like glass. That I was sensitive. I hated it. It wasn't fair! So what if I didn't get a gift? No one else in our Encanto, in a closed off village, had a gift! Only my family. Yet....that was the only thing people seem to care about.

My Abuela included.

After not receiving my gift, my Abuela changed. She started to treat me like an afterthought, like a burned. Sure she cares about me, but it seems like she was embarrassed to be seen with her.

My love for my family. Of my Abuela's approval. Kill me.

As I grew up, the Encanto villagers had mixed opinions about me. Some hated me and thought I was a bad omen, (after my Tio Bruno). Some thought I was a sad broken girl, that any moment I would give up on life and kill myself. Some, mostly the village children, treated me like a normal human. I was a normal human.

On the day of my cousin Antonio's 5th birthday, and him reviving a gift, (talking and hearing animals) something went wrong.

Crack appears on Castia, only I seem to see it. When I tried to get my family to stop partying and come see the cracks (in hindsight I should have waited for the guest to leave, I shouldn't have almost ruined my cousin's birthday..) my Abuela said that I was drunk and seeing things.

So I try to find how to save the Family's Miracle.

That led me to find my Tio Bruno hiding in the house's wall. He was there for 10 years, hiding to protect me. He saw a vision of me in front of a broken house. In his panic, he hid. Afraid that if anyone saw his vision, they would hate him and me.

My Tio had another vision of me and Isabela, my eldest sister, hugging.

We hug. We apologized. It was fun and nice.

Then Abuela and I fought.

The cracks grew bigger and made the Casita crumble.

I went to save the candle.

I died protecting that damn candle.
