( No Title )
This was something I realized in Encanto. Each Madrigal had three kids.
The oldest ones all have very useful gifts that anyone could rely on, Julieta with her healing abilities through cooking, Isabela’s flowers give comfort to the village and Dolores who can hear literally everything.
The middle child has a gift that is useful but involves emotions, Pepa can control the weather based on her emotions, Luisa’s super strength makes her mask a confident persona and Camilo’s shape-shifting literally makes him change personalities.
And finally, the youngest ends up having a gift that isn’t really useful OR giftless, Bruno’s future seeing makes people think he’s bad luck, Mirabel being giftless causes her to be an outcast and, as much as I hate to say this, Antonio’s ability to speak to animals doesn’t really have a use.
(Technically Julieta, Pepa and Bruno are triplets, but mentally Julieta is the oldest, Pepa is the middle child and Bruno the youngest, you know)
Thank god Antonio didn’t go through what Mira and Bruno did.
Now I could be wrong, but this is what I thought of while looking back at watching Encanto.
