camilo hcs

- Camilo is (officially) only 4 months older than Mirabel but HOLDS THAT OVER HIS HEAD.

- when Camilo got his Gift and Mirabel didn’t, he thought that he stole all of the magic and felt guilty when Mirabel didn't get a Gift.

- Camilo is a theatre kid. [Kind of confirmed by Jared Bush]

- when Camilo coughs or sneezes, he can't control his shapeshifting.

- Camilo doesn't like shape-shfiting for too long at one time because he feels that he starts to forget what he looks like normally and shape-shifts back because he gets scared.

- If Camilo had a crush he’d probably do that thing where you talk to yourself back and forth and he’ll shapeshift inbetween

- Camilo starts drama in the town by shape-shifting.

- Camilo would act super flirty with other kids his age but if he actually liked someone he’d be a stuttering mess or freeze up and accidentally turn into them. [A/N: I totally imagine him sucking at flirting with his crush as well and does a whole "so.. do you like cheese?" moment.]

- Camilo wears mismatched socks (when he does wear socks)

- Camilo was the first person to comfort Mirabel after she didn't get her Gift.

- Camilo offered to share a room with Mirabel when she didn’t get her Gift.

- Camilo is a mama's boy and jokes around with her a lot.

- When Camilo and Mirabel where younger he would shapeshift into her and say things like “I'm Mirabel and I'm so pretty (platonically)” to stop her from being sad for not having a Gift.

- if Camilo had a partner coming over Isabela would shout "CAMILO YOUR PARTNER'S HERE" and laugh to tease him.

- Camilo tries to jump scare Isabela every chance he gets.

- At a party, Camilo'll just pull up a chair and sit AT the food table. Everybody's just going along and serving themselves and he's just sitting there AT the food table.

- After Mirabel didnt get her Gift, Camilo didnt shapeshift for a good while and refused to unless Mirabel ensured him it was 100% okay for him to do so, multiple times.

- Camilo did a backflip once and no one believes him. Antonio and Dolores believe him tho.

- Camilo purposely loses at games to make people feel good about themselves

- Whenever Camilo tries to tell somebody about something funny, he'll laugh uncontrollably before he even tells them.

- Camilo's room is like the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter, and changes to whatever Camilo needs to do be at that moment.
- although Camilo's room is like the Room of Requirement, his base of his room is a theatre.

- Camilo has a love for playing the piano, but since Agustín already plays the piano and is a musician, Camilo has insecurities about playing it, so the only place he'll play the piano is in his room.
