Character Name: Luisa Madrigal
Canon: Encanto (OC)
Canon Point: post-movie
History: Disney wiki

Personality: Granted with the gift of super strength, Luisa is reliable as she is powerful. Whether it’s retrieving and lifting something heavy, rounding up some escaped donkeys, or even rerouting a river, no task is too big nor too small for her. She is always willing to lend a hand for her family and community, and does what she can to help with no complaints and no hesitation. She is dedicated and hard-working, so people know that they can count on her assistance.

And unfortunately, that was part of the problem. While Luisa does genuinely enjoy helping others, she often felt overloaded by the amount of work that she is asked to do. There was a constant pressure to perform and a need to please others, both at home and in town, that Luisa felt unable to turn down any request made of her. Despite her vast strength, she struggled to carry all the burdens that were placed on her. Yet she kept her feelings of anxiety bottled up inside her, because she was the “tough one” and felt she could not show any weakness. It wasn’t until she was confronted by her sister, Mirabel, when the family’s magic was threatened, that she was finally able to reveal how she truly felt.

Because deep down, Luisa fears that she has no worth beyond her strength. Having used her gift to serve her family and community since the age of five, when she first received her power, she felt that her strength was the only thing that made her important. Her strength was all that was ever called upon or needed, so she grew to feel as though she had nothing else to offer. When the family’s magic was fading and she began losing her gift, she grew very distressed and fearful of not being able to meet the expectations placed on her, because she didn’t know how else to be useful.

With the help of her younger sister, though, and with the support of the rest of their family, Luisa is beginning to learn that she is more than just her gift, that her value as a person is not dependent on what she can do. She is learning that it is okay to express her emotions, and that she can still be strong while asking for help. She is still a young woman who cares deeply about her family and community, and would do anything she can to help and protect them. But now she is starting to learn to take some time for herself as well, and that it’s okay to show the sensitive side of her that lies under the surface of her tough exterior.

Time of Arrival to Kaisou: immediate arrival
Items: Just the clothes she's wearing
Retained Ability: Super strength: in canon, Luisa is easily able to lift heavy objects, and even buildings and bridges, without any strain on her part. Her body also has increased durability, and can withstand an immense amount of force without a scratch or injury (though she is not invulnerable, it is just uncertain as to what extent she can be injured). In a limited state, her strength will be weakened to that of an average bodybuilder, and will require much more effort. She will also be able to receive injuries easier.
