So Bruno’s wife is Luciana. They met when they were younger. Luciana was friends with the triplets throughout grade school where they affectionately called her Luz because she was their little light as the shortest in their group. Luz was raised by her father as an only child but he passed shortly after Josefina was born. In the years of knowing Bruno she only ever sought out a premonition once, when they were 16. Pepa and Julieta had been teasing her about a boy at school who was head over heels for Luz for weeks. Luz was wholeheartedly against whatever crush had blossomed in the boy and stormed into Bruno’s tower during a particularly insufferable sleepover demanding to know who she married. After Bruno’s many protests he began his vision and both of them watched in shock at her and Bruno’s wedding dawn glowing in green in front of them. The plaque of that vision was the only one not shattered, kept hung up in Luz’ bedroom. She struggled a lot after Bruno left, mostly with Josefina’s new attitude and Beto’s constant tricks. Mateo took on a lot of responsibilities that night too and Luz tried her best to relive some of the stress.

The oldest is Isa’s age, 22, and his name is Mateo. He looks the most like Luciana His gift is invisibility. He was the second grandchild to get a gift and abuela, while not knowing how it would be useful, was happy nonetheless. As a child he would randomly disappear, get triggered by hiccups or being scared. But over time he gained control of it. He’s the closest to Dolores since they’re both the most chismosos out of the family. Peppa loves him because he always spills town tea to her too. The night everything went down he turned invisible on accident and let his family know he was THERE just not there. That all went out the window when he saw Mirabel and followed her to where he was met with his dad and cousin. He had a little bit of a breakdown when he found out his dad had been living there the whole time and Bruno consoled his son the best her could.

The second oldest is Josefina but they call her Fini most of the time. She is the perfect blend of both parents. She’s 16 and her power is projecting memories. When her door appeared people didn’t really know what it was but when they entered her room, a gallery of moving paintings abuela slowly pieces it together. Her powers have to be triggered by touch and so she would hold peoples hands as a way to connect. As a child she was the happiest of all the madrigal kids. She would mostly help people in town when they needed a pick me up. She was abuelas favorite for a little bit because they would have nights where she would have memories of Pedro projected in the living room. But when Bruno left she shut herself in. She resented Abuela more than anyone and no one understood why. Shortly after he left she snuck in her mothers room while she was sleeping and triggered the memory of that night. She saw the conversation her parents had about Mirabel and how abuela asked him to see more. Fini took that as abuela having sent him away indirectly. She wouldn’t let anyone touch her skin directly and started wearing gloves to avoid any memories coming by. At one point Fini snuck into Bruno’s tower and took a bit of his sand, keeping it in a pouch around her neck. Luz walked in on her one night, right before Antonio’s gift ceremony, sitting in the dinning room in the middle of the night watching a memory of her at 4 dancing with her father. This Sprite and Ajax dancing in that one scene. Luz had a talk with her that night and it ended with them replaying their favorite memories. She also liked to show memories of their father to Beto on nights they couldn’t sleep.

Beto is the youngest, he is 9 and no one knew Luz was pregnant the night of Mirabel’s ceremony. He looks the most like Bruno. Beto’s gift was multiplying. He got along really well with Camilo and they often played pranks around town with the help of their gifts. On his door there’s three versions of him, each looking a different direction. He got lonely for the nights after moving out of the nursery, not having Mirabel to talk to. On the nights Fini didn’t come visit he would make a clone of himself to talk to. The clone couldn’t really offer much more than talking to a muero but it helped make him feel less alone. When Casita was rebuilt and his dad was back home they made up for their time apart a little more than the other kids since Beto never really got time with him that wasn’t after everyone had gone to sleep.
