Long before the Madrigal family's magic began to fade, a lost child changed their story forever.
When a harsh storm swept through the valley outside the Encanto, Alma Madrigal discovered a small boy alone in the snow - cold, trembling, and abandoned. The boy's name was Diego, a quiet, gentle soul with eyes like winter frost and a heart that longed for warmth. Alma, moved by compassion, brought him into the Madrigal family, raising him as one of her own.
But Diego was no ordinary child. As he grew, strange things began to happen - snowflakes danced around his hands, droplets of water shimmered midair, and icy winds followed his emotions. The family soon realized that his gift was unlike any they had ever seen: control over ice and water, and the ability to soar on winds of frost.
On the night of his Gift Ceremony, the entire family and town dressed in enchanted warm clothing as the air turned cool and glimmering. When Diego touched the glowing candle, his door shimmered into being - a magnificent icy bridge leading to a crystalline palace high above the clouds, reminiscent of Elsa's realm itself. Inside were glimmering spires of frost, an eternal skating pond, and even a living snowman named Olaf, brought to life by Diego's own magic.
Though he once came from pain and abandonment, Diego found not only a home but also love - especially with Camilo, whose warmth and humor melted even the coldest parts of Diego's heart. Together, they showed that family and love can come from more than just blood - they can be found in the courage to embrace who you truly are.
