Luisa and Mirabel have a really great and sweet relationship. Luisa seems genuinely very kindhearted and like she takes her role as big sister
seriously. She also doesn’t treat her differently for having no powers.
When she gets in the way of Luisa, she responds with “careful sis”, unlike Isabela who responds with an angry “what is your problem!?”
And unlike Isabela who is jealous and thinks Mirabel has it easy, Luisa is never seen showing that kind of attitude despite being probably one of the most overworked Madrigal, to the point of being compared to a mule (beast of burden).
The one time we see her yell at Mirabel, she apologizes immediately saying “uh, wow… sorry, that snuck out there”, showing that she almost never gets angry at Mirabel, if ever.
In Surface Pressure she tells Mirabel to give her burdens to her and Mirabel
smiles for a split second (while Luisa worries about things that will hurt Mirabel). They also don’t have the kind of animosity that Maribel had with Isabela at the start.
And finally, I mean… look at this 🥺
Mirabel looks so uncertain, I’m wondering if they forgot her again but Luisa noticed and dragged her into the photo.
I hope if a series comes out we will get to explore this dynamic more.
Also, In surface pressure, as much as Luisa is singing about how much pressure SHE is under, at the end of the sone she says:
“Instead we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep growing,
‘cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that’ll
Never stop.”
WE. Not I, not me, WE!
And then she looks at Mirabel. As if to say “yeah, I know you have pressure put on you too, it may be different than mine, but it’s there.”
I also like to think of when she says “keep going” she’s supporting Mirabel’s journey to fix the family. LUISA IS BEST GORL
