Character Name: Bruno Madrigal Series: Encanto Timeline: Post-movie Canon Resource Links:Wiki link
Personality: For five years, Bruno lived in the walls and hidden areas of Casita with only rats as true company. However, he was still there to see his family just out of reach, so to speak, and see the way they all adjusted to his disappearance by making even his name a taboo. Needless to say, it was rough on the man and his self-esteem, which is really just so terribly low. He seems introverted and passive by nature, and it's likely that the weight of having a gift - his is to see the future - and the way people reacted to his negative visions contributed to that. He often comes across as tired, even defeated, when we see him in the film, and it makes sense. He's been through the ringer emotionally all his life. That's not to say Bruno is purely a victim. While he had good intentions in leaving without a word, to protect his niece, he still left without a word, and that deepened quite a few issues in the family, especially those of his mother and two triplet sisters.
However, for all the sadness surrounding Bruno's life, and the questionable nature of his choices, he's not just a tragic character. While extremely awkward and hesitant, Bruno is also something of a goofball, sometimes being quite playful and silly in how he speaks and interacts with others. He's deeply loving towards those he cares about, as well, and can go to great lengths to protect them-- Toward the end of the film, he even comes out of seclusion to defend Mirabel to his mother Alma, a woman whose opinions hold a lot of weight for him, as with all the Madrigals. He's also creative, with a penchant for storytelling and performance, as seen in the shows he creates with his rat companions. While he leans more towards pessimism, I wouldn't call him a full-out pessimist, rather just cautious about getting his hopes up. And he has a certain wisdom he doesn't even seem to realize he has, as seen when he advises Mirabel on how Isabela's not the one who needs to save the miracle; this is about her.

[Really, what else is there to say when you've been rushed out the door of a home that's unfamiliar with only a backpack and some kind of toy ball to protect you, by a woman who calls herself your mother but very clearly is not? Bruno isn't sure how he's going to wrap his mind around this, though he can already tell doing so will most likely stretch his brain to its limits.
A vision is an option, he figures. It's just not one he thinks will help much, because knowing how this all ultimately goes doesn't show him how to get there. And what if he sees himself staying here forever? No thank you! He'd rather not know. And, in all honesty, he also super does not want to anyway. Visions are exhausting. He can't wipe himself out doing that, he has to stay on his guard.
Even if he's just sitting on the front steps of the house he was just kicked out of. Again, it's a lot to wrap his mind around. He needs a moment. But during this moment he's taking, he starts to get fidgety, and pulls out the red and white toy that woman gave him. He starts tossing it from hand to hand, and at one point fumbles it. That's when things get even stranger.
Bruno doesn't know how a snake was in there, nor does he dwell on it. He just stares at it - after an instinctive flinch when he first sees it, that is. But this creature doesn't seem to want to hurt him, because it's green eyes just staring right back. Expectantly.]
