A/n: HI everyone I'm here with a new story! If you haven't already, why not check out my other stories! They might be a bit cringe but I'm not exactly the best author in existence and I've only ever written 2 stories 3 if you include this one! Anyways let's get on with this story!
Name: Mariana Madrigal
Og gift before reincarnation: Ice powers
New gift post reincarnation: seeing the dead
Old room: Ice and snow covered the walls and floors. There were Ice statues around from when she made them with her powers. She was able to Ice skate around her whole room.
New room: There is a seance area for her to help people cope with deaths by letting them say goodbye one last time. She has a ghost hang out area so she can hang out with the dead. Her room has a Victorian vibe since a lot of ghosts she sees in Encanto died in that time period. Also she just kinda likes the Victorian aesthetic.
Backstory: Mariana is the second youngest of the Madrigal children being 1 year younger than Camilo and Mirabel. She died 1 year before the events of the movie took place.
Appearance before reincarnation: Before she got her gift she had long waist length black hair after she got her gift her hair turned white. Her skin is basically the same as her cousins' except a bit lighter, more like her father Bruno's or her aunt Pepa's. She has green eyes and freckles across her nose. She wears a purple dress, the top part is a light purple and the skirt part is a darker purple with curved purple lines and purple roses.
Appearance post reincarnation: Her appearance is basically the same as before except instead of her turning white it stays black and when she uses her power to help people see dead loved ones her eyes glow purple. Her dress is about the same just a bit fancier
(Let's actually get started now.)
Mirabel puts the doorknob into the door and it transformed into a portrait of the whole family. When they all saw Mariana in the portrait as well they all got sad. Camilo transformed into her without realizing it. Pepa started drizzling. Bruno always felt like his daughter's death was his fault. He constantly thought of Mariana jumping in front him so he wouldn't be shot by the oncoming arrows. A tear rolled down his cheek at the memory. The doors of Casita flung open and the tiles started to throw everyone in so they could check it out
The first thing they see is a girl in the middle floor just laying there. As soon as they get a better look they realize who the girl is. "Mari…." Camilo whispers and he starts crying. A few seconds later her eyes flutter open. The whole family runs over and hugs her while sobbing. After a few minutes everyone stops to give her space except for Bruno. "Papa…?" Mariana mutters into her father's chest. "Yeah baby?" She pulls away and smiles softly. "I missed you…" He smiles back at her. "I missed you too…" Her big green eyes well up with tears and she hugs Bruno again and he hugs her back. He rubs circles on her back as she clings onto him while shaking a little.
While Bruno and Mariana were having their moment the rest of the family looked around the Casita exploring and finding their rooms. They decided to go explore with the rest of the family. Mariana tries to walk and almost falls so Bruno has to get her up the stairs. Casita also helps them get up to the next floor. Mariana grabs the doorknob to her room and her door shows her with ghosts floating around her. She smiles and walks in. The first thing she sees is the seance circle and some ghosts flying around her. She has a big smile until she notices one of the ghosts looks like her abuelo Pedro. He floats down and rubs his thumb over her cheek. "I love you Mija…" A tear escapes her eyes and he wipes it immediately. "I love you too Abuelo… Abuela misses you… do you want me to get her so you can say goodbye to her?" He smiles sadly and nods his head.
Mariana goes out and yells for Abuela. She goes to Abuela's door and knocks softly. "Come in." Abuela spoke quietly. Mariana opened the door and walked in slowly. "What is it cariño?" Mariana looked at Abuela hesitantly, not really knowing how to word what she wants to say. "Um Abuela… my gift is being able to see the dead now… and Abuelo wants to talk to you… one last time…" Abuela looks at her in shock and Mariana goes to hug her. "Take me to him." Mariana nods her head and smiles sadly and grabs her hand. She leads Abuela to her room. "We'll have to do a seance so you'll be able to see him… you're ok with that right? Abuelo really wants to see you before his spirit is completely gone." Abuela nods in understanding and they walk in. Mariana leads Abuela to the seance circle and they do seance stuff (I don't really know how seances work so I'm sorry about that).
The wind in the room picked up and the ghost of Abuelo showed up. "Hello mi amor… I love you so much…" Abuela goes over to Abuelo and he puts his hand on her cheek and wipes a tear. "Te amo… querida." He whispers, putting his forehead on hers. She leans into his touch. "Te amo… mi amor… te extrañaré… mucho."When Abuela moved away from Abuelo he started to disappear. "If there's anything you or Abuelo wanna say I suggest saying it now… his spirit is about to fade completely and I can't help him hold on much longer… I'm sorry…" All they do is smile at each other and gaze into the other's eyes as Abuelo's spirit leaves the world forever. Before he completely fades Abuela gives him a quick kiss on the lips and hugs him in an effort to get him to stay. His last words to them were "Las quiero…"
A tear goes down Mariana's cheek as she hugs Abuela. "I'm sorry I couldn't hold onto his spirit longer… it was starting to drain my energy too much…" Abuela smiles sadly at her granddaughter. "It's ok mija you held on as long as you could… thank you for helping me through this…" Mariana smiled softly with a hint of sadness. Abuela has a look of panic on her face, she starts coughing and she falls to her knees. Mariana is panicking since she has no idea what to do. "Tia Julietta?!" She calls out panic laced all through her voice.
