Alma and Pedro Madrigal were only so young when they had triplets; Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno. On that very same night, the new parents had to flee everyone in town. Then, a group of murderers came. Pedro let himself be murdered so Alma and the trip,est could stay alive. As Alma was crying, the candle they were carrying turned into a 'miracle' candle. This 'miracle' blessed them with beloved, magical house that came alive, called casita. It also blocked out all the bad guys. The candle never went out. 50 years later, this 'miracle' is still burning.
And whenever Alma would gain more descendants, those descendants would receive a magical power at age 5. Juli could heal people with her food. Pepa could control weather, so when she was unhappy, disasters occurred. Bruno saw the future, and when he predicted his youngest sobrina's prophecy, everything changed. Now Juli and Pepa are married and each have three of their own. Julieta's eldest daughter, also the eldest grandchild, Isabela, could make plants grow. Her second, Luisa, has superhuman strength. But we will get back to her third. Pepa's eldest, Dolores, who is about the same age as Isabela just a few months younger, has the ability to hear things such as a PIN drop. Pepa's second, Camilo who is the same age as Juli's youngest just older by a few months, shapeshifts into others. Her youngest, Antonio, still hasn't received his yet.
Now let's talk about Julieta's youngest daughter, Mirabel. Mirabel is a 15 year old girl who is the only Madrigal child to not receive a magical gift. Therefore she never earned her abuela's love like she did when she was little. So she's always trying to impress her and make her proud. Because of Mirabel not receiving a power, she also drifted apart from Isabela to the point where they fight. So her life is very hard. Buts she's always trying to be useful.
