Mirabel Madrigal
Mirabel Madrigal is a fictional character that appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 60th feature film, ''Encanto'' (2021). Created by directors Byron Howard and Jared Bush, Mirabel is depicted as an imperfect, quirky, emotional, and empathetic 15-year-old girl who is the only member of the Madrigal family who does not receive a magical gift. When their "miracle" begins to fade, Mirabel takes it upon herself to save the magic, learning of her familial troubles. From the outset of the character's development, Mirabel was conceived as the only member of her family without a gift.
