Hola! My name is Maya Madrigal. This is my diary. Okay, not all of it is. I've gathered my thoughts as well as others to bring the story of my life into one place. I'm pretty sure I was 12 when Mirabel stumbled across me in the forest. She was playing hide and seek with her sisters and cousins. She was the same age as me and being the sweet kid she was she brought me back to Casita. They asked me a lot of questions. I didn't have any answers. I knew my name was Maya, that's it. They must've believed me because I ended up living with them. I became a Madrigal.
Four years after I met Mirabel, I was walking up the stairs and a glowing door appeared in front of me. I'd seen Antonio's gift ceremony so I knew what it was but I was still extremely confused. I yelled out for Abuela and the others, they told me to open the door. I did. Casita gave me the gift of controlling water, its pretty handy when we have pranking wars. My room is cool too. I missed staying with Mirabel, though. Some of the villagers didn't like me after that. Okay, a lot of them didn't. But that didn't always work out. Oh well. You can't please everyone!
Dealing with all that and being a teenager at the same time was not easy. Ugh, looking back on it all I was such a drama queen. I'm in a good place now. I married the love of my life and have five beautiful children (not fun giving birth to all of them). But this story isn't about the present. Not yet at least. We have to go back in time to the day after I got my gift.
