#princess's

Becuase Im not very good at getting things finished, but get lots of ideas, Im putting this rough sketch up with an AU idea(infact I have another for Owl House I should do soon too).

I read a fanfic based on a “Tangled” AU and it gave me the idea for this one.

Encanto-Royal AU

In this au “Encanto” is a magic kingdom with a magical royal family. Queen Alma is the matriach living with her entire family. Everyone was blessed with a gift, except for Princess Mirabel.

Its a diffrent kind of distance however regarding Mirabel in this one. Its more overportective. She has no gift and so her grandmother sees her as more vulnerable, as if she were made of glass. And that people would hurt her or use her to get to the kingdom. And so Mirabel is smothered and wrapped up in cotton wool.

Shes almost always shadowed by guards, her sisters and cousins are encouraged to watch over her or make the hard chioces. She finds Isabela annoying becuase shes so smug, still Grandmas favourite and the “older sister”, Isa always saying stuff like Mirabel should try and act more ladylike and listen to her big sister. She thinks Isa is a sneaky tattletale.

Dolores sometimes feels conflicated about telling on Mirabel(able to hear of course if she’s up to things Grandma has not permtited), but is mixed up to think “Its for her own good”.

Shes not even allowed to ride horses, Abuela goes into conniptions thinking she’ll be thrown off or hurt, despite the fact even little Antonio is permitted to do so(BECAUSE like the others he has a gift).

Her parents are still basically good well meaning and perhaps due to worry, a natural instinct to protect, they sort of go along with Abuela’s ways much like the canon movie. They just dont want her hurt.

The only ones to truly see Mirabel as herself are Bruno, Camilo and Antonio(though hes still a little young to understand the situation fully). There the only ones she can really talk to.

Amongst the diffrences, Bruno is not missing, hes been with the family all these years. He had his own pressures as the only son of the Queen, trying to mold him into a future leader, perhaps even a minature version of his father. Pedro was a good man but you cant mold people into a copy of what you want? Its not fair. And of course he dissapionted her with his odd ways and mannerisms(I do believe like a lot of fans Bruno is neuro devergent, on the Autistic Spectrum.) Trying to get him to behave a certian way, pair him up with ladies of court(I also belive canonly he’d be aromantic). But nothing worked and eventually she gave up. In a way he’s lucky, she pretty much leaves him be now. A bit like how yes Mirabel might get ignroed but on the other hand shes not under constant pressure to behave a certain way like the rest of her family? She has more freedom.

He has his own tower but its not a ridiculous million stairs luckily like his movie room :P. Mira Cami and Antionio visit it constantly, Dolores and Julieta occasinaly(usually checking up on Bruno). Others tend to avoid it as its musty and full of Bruno’s rats.

Thats where Mira is right now visiting her Uncle. I dont imagine Bruno likes the clothes they havta wear but only hasta for special events. Otherwise he can go in more comfortable things. I think his ruana is oversized partly due to sensory issues, its for comfort? I myself cant stand the feel of silk or velvet, I cant desrcibe it but it makes my nerves prickle? Or tight clothes, I like loose.

Other diffrences are ages. Noticable ones would be Isabela and Dolores who are 19, Lusia who is 17, and Cami and Mirabel are 12. I suppose the adults would be younger too, at least ten years or so than there canon selves perhaps?

And a lot of the family still has problems. Mirabel might be swaddled but.

Dolores has been dating the stable boy Mariano for two years in secret. They often meet up to talk, books and poetry and such, she loves how kind and gentle he is and he in turn her shyness and sweet nature. BUT, he is a peasant, grandma will never approve of them getting married though thats what they want. Much like the pressures of the film, the “Madrigals” have an image to uphold, havta be a certain way, Dolores will be expected to marry a prince.

Isabela has similiar frustartions, grandma is constantly trying to press eligibale prince’s on her, a bit like Jasime from Aladdin? Except unlike her Isabela cant say or do what she really thinks, she hasta smile and pretend, be the perfect angel. Really she finds them boring stuffy and horrible. And like her film self is sick of being perfect, she really wants to be herself, for that matter, figure out who the real her is. Still Abeulas favoruite she’s eager to get her married off, contuine the royal line and produce great grandchildren.

Luisa with her magnificent strength is part of the Royal Guard, often leading the troops and something of Mirabel’s bodygaurd. She worries constantly over her baby sister, meaning well as anyone else but nevetheless smothering her. However, Luisa does not want to be part of the gaurd. She hates fighting and going into battle, understanbly its scary and stressful? She has a gentle girlish heart and would rather do things the other ladies do. Walk through the gardens, tea partys, dances, pretty dresses, all the things they get to enjoy, she actually likes all that stuff. But does not get to innact in such things very much at all(infact very little.)

Something will come along of course to open up eyes to everything going on, and make a change for the better, so everyone is healthier and happier. As to what, well, nothings set in stone yet. Though there are a few inklings in my head, such as Mirabel accidently revealing secrets, or running away, or captured. Like what they were so worried about happened anyway and heck they pushed her into it? They overprotected her that she ended up running and in danger? Heck if she just left, and they didnet know where she was, how would they know shes safe? Creating the problem they were trying to avoid by being TOO much.

By thanking Disney that I could get to watch all the Disney Princesses in the same film for ten bucks!

She’s putting on the clothe that will protect her hands from skin-burns cause she’s going rack climbing!

I can identify: You’re Welcome, Part Of Your World, Do You Want To Build A Snowman, I Have a Dream and Colors of the Wind. (In that order)

I think I also heard I’ll Make A Man Out Of You and recognize other melodies but can’t identify them. It all sounds SUPER princess-y, in a good way.

I know they played A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart makes in the film but its not on the OST for some reason.
