Encanto x TWST idea
I’m sure someone out there has already done this before, but I was listening to the Encanto soundtrack earlier and couldn’t help but come up with the TWST idea for the movie!
So the general concept in world wise is that it sticks fairly close to the movie; the Madrigals (I’m sticking to the og names for now. My name ideas are gonna be at the end) live in a small village and are the only family with magic. Because the villiage is so small and closed off, they don’t have any kind of magical institution of their own leading the Madrigals to attend outside mage school to learn to control their powers.
Note: Their unique magic is the same thing as their “miracles” in the movie
All of the ages of the Madrigals are the same as the movie. So Pepa, Bruno, and Julieta have long since graduated from school and take various jobs around the village. By the time Yuu comes to Twisted Wonderland, Isabela and Dolores would have been recent graduates of RSA; Isa would have been out of school for roughly 3 years and Dolores would have been out of school for roughly 2 years. Luisa is a senior at an all girls mage school (a school that would be similar to RSA) by this point and, assuming the seniors of this school leave campus similar to NRC seniors, she’s likely involved in some sort of internship off campus.
Camilo and Mirabel aren’t in school yet. By the next year it’s expected that Camilo will also start at RSA as a freshmen. Mirabel, who doesn’t show many magical abilities, is not expected to attend any sort of magical school. And of course Antonio is not expected to attend magic school any time soon as he’s still too young.
Currently Bruno is the only one who’s attended NRC. I imagine he was chosen by NRC likely due to his unique magic. I believe there would have already been tension in the family/with the village regarding Bruno’s unique magic, and so learning he wasn’t even attending a “respectable” school (the villages view on NRC) like his siblings made it worse.
I think Bruno would be sorted into Diasomnia mainly because I can see his unique magic being seen as quite powerful and his colours are green. It’s only fitting.
I also think it’d be a little funny if Bruno was considered the dorms resident cryptid. Like he’d almost have Malleus vibes where everyone is put off or scared of him for one reason or another, but in reality Bruno is just shy and kinda socially awkward at times. There are definitely still rumours about the “mysterious fortune teller” running around NRC even after all the years.
With Mirabel currently showing little signs of having magic, she’s also becoming a black sheep like Bruno. It very much follows the movie plot where Alma is a lot harder on Mirabel because she’s seen as “too different” from the rest of the family. But have no fear! I feel like Mirabel and Yuu would end up being besties by the end of the event AND Mirabel would make her place known in the family even if she’s “different”!
Speaking of event; my general idea game wise is that this would probably be a special event for the game. Like I said, Bruno is currently the only Madrigal that’s attended NRC, the rest (excluding the younger ones) have attended/are attending RSA. I don’t have an idea currently on why Yuu and co would be visiting the village, but I think it would be a fun concept!
Perhaps the miracle fading is tied with an overblot like situation and NRC got an anonymous letter (perhaps from Bruno 🤔) and Crowley, being a kind man he is, sent Yuu to check it out. I’m open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas!
I think maybe Epel would be one of the event exclusive characters; he also comes from a small village and there’s a generational gap between mages within his own family. Maybe he could relate to Mirabel in some way. Idk why, I also think Silver could fit as well. He is the only non-fae of the main Diasomnia bunch so perhaps he can also relate to Mirabel or even Bruno in the sense of not “fitting in” with the rest.
As for the names of the characters: I have no clue what do change the last name to, BUT I’ll leave some of my ideas for the first names, as well as clarifying which ones have changed genders.
Characters using their movie concept name:
Alma = Andrea
Julieta = Juana
Bruno = Oscar
Luisa = Lydia
Mirabel = Mariana
Camilo = Carlos
These 6 also stay the same gender as their original counterparts.
Genderswaped characters and names (these are subject to change):
Isabela = Ines
Ines was Isabela’s concept name and I can’t seem to find a masculine form of Ines. To me sounds neutral, though I also image TWST Isa to be similar to Vil; he has a more feminine and/or androgynous appearance which he embraces so I imagine a more feminine name wouldn’t bother him.
Some other names I’m entertaining are Isaac, Lucero and Ismael. I kinda like lucero as an alternative, I think “bright star” is a fitting of a golden child.
Dolores = Diego
I’ve seen a couple people use Diego as a gender swap name for Dolores and I kinda like it. There isn’t a deeper reason for the choice.
I’m open to other name suggestions if anyone has a better one!
Antonio = Antonia
Antonio was a little easier since his name has a feminine form. I also wanted to keep the one girl-two boys set up that Pepa’s kids have, so I swapped Antonio and Dolores’ genders
Pepa = Pepe or Pedro
I’m a little tempted to give both names to Male!Pepa. Perhaps he was named after his father, but Alma/Andrea started calling him “Pepe” as a nickname.
I think this would really fit if Abuelo Pedro died like in the movie and so hearing her husband’s name after he passed was really hard on her.
Félix = Felicia
similar to Antonio, Felicia is the feminine equivalent of Félix so the meaning is the same.
I don’t really have a distinct reason for swapping this groups genders other than not wanting the entire family to be the same genders as their og counterparts.
I’m not sure what I would want to change Agustín’s name to. Perhaps he’s the one who keeps his original name, or if anyone has suggestions let me know!
And finally for abuelo Pedro, I’m thinking perhaps he’s just not named in game. Like perhaps he’s passed away and when asked about him, everyone either calls him “Papí” (the triplets) or “abuelo” (the grandkids). Maybe Alma doesn’t like talking about him/saying his name because it’s too painful or something.
I think this is all I have so far for this idea! Like I said I’m open to any ideas or suggestions that y’all might have, especially with names!
Idk how far I’ll take this, I just needed to get the idea typed out while I had it in my head lol. I might also post something about Hans from Frozen once the poll I posted on him ends.
Thank you to everyone who read my ramblings! Have a cookie 🍪💕

As the party got started up again, Dolores was having a good time temporarily forgetting about what Mirabel said about the miracle earlier, looking around she sees Mariano starring at Isabela all lovey dovey the way that she wants him to look at herself with. Needing to get outside since everything is getting too much for her to handle. Dolores leaves Antonio’s room into Casita and starts concentrating on listening to Mirabel’s heartbeat so that they can relax together.
She hears no heart of her prima, impossible Dolores thought as she continues to try to find Mirabel all she hears is wild life and the river water flowing. Scared that she can’t hear her cousins heart beat anymore, Dolores bursts into the party and starts shouting that something has happened to Mirabel. Not wanting Alma to take control of the situation she blurts out that she can no longer hear her primas heart beating anymore and can’t locate Mirabel, that gets everyone’s attention and sobered up.
Alma knowing that this is serious has Dolores lead them around the village trying to find her, when they got to the bridge all they could find was the embroidered butterfly on the bridge looking like it got ran over. Dolores feeling that it’s her fault for not paying attention to Mirabel when the 15yr old was alone, starts crying what is she supposed to do with her gift that’s supposed to help the village but she couldn’t help her family. It’s like Bruno all over again, instead of hiding in the walls of Casita Mirabel is missing and gone with no heartbeat to search for.
The party ended early that night as everyone went back into their homes knowing that early in the morning is when they are going to search for the missing Madrigal.
As everyone went to sleep Antonio sneaks out of his bedroom and into the nursery and starts crying into Mirabel’s pillow devastated that his favorite prima disappeared and starts crying harder about how if he didn’t get a gift then Mirabel would have still been here safe and sound, as he falls asleep clutching the embroidered butterfly from her shirt. Antonios’ last thoughts are before exhaustion forcing him to fall asleep are: “I no longer want to celebrate my birthday anymore in the future.”
