Antonio Madrigal/Relationships

The relationships of Antonio Madrigal.
==Family==
===Dolores Madrigal=== 
Dolores is Antonio's older sister, and before his gift ceremony, she is shown being very supportive of him and excited for him, giving him a pep talk, and Dolores is overall very happy when Antonio gets his gift. During reconstruction, Antonio is shown working with her and their father.
===Camilo Madrigal===
Camilo is Antonio's older brother. He helps Dolores give him a pep talk before his gift ceremony, and he even transforms into a small version of their father Félix to get Antonio to laugh.
===Isabela Madrigal===
Isabela is Antonio's first older cousin. Due to his young age, Antonio, unlike his siblings and other cousins, has neither felt overshadowed by Isabela nor been envious of her position as the golden child of the family. Although they do not interact in the film, it is shown in the graphic novels that he gets along well with his cousin and enjoys her company. Isabela wanted Antonio's gift ceremony to go well and decorated the entire Casa Madrigal with flowers for his special day. After the ceremony was a success, Isabela waved her hands in a jump of joy when he received his gift and she is quite impressed when Antonio mounts his jaguar around in his new room for the first time. When they retrieve their gifts when magic returns to the Encanto, the two enjoy exploring the potential of their gifts. In the family photo after the house is rebuilt, Isabela happily tries to reach for Antonio's when his jaguar carries him away. While she is impressed with Antonio's ability to talk to animals, he enjoys having Isabela express her true self, as he allows her to decorate his room with exotic plants so she can practice with her gift.
===Mirabel Madrigal===
Mirabel is Antonio's third older cousin. He is the closest to Mirabel, as he looks up to her and sees her more as a sister than his cousin. As the two of them do not have magical gifts at the start of the film, this allows Mirabel and Antonio to form a close bond between them. It was this bond that they share that makes Mirabel realize there may be hope for her place in the family. Unlike others in the family, Antonio did not seem to assume the worst of Mirabel for being in Bruno's catastrophic vision. After the reconstruction of the Casa Madrigal, like with his gift ceremony, Antonio walked with Mirabel up the pathway and even gave her the new doorknob for Casita.
===Alma Madrigal===
Alma is Antonio's maternal grandmother. Antonio has a good relationship with his grandmother and she is very affectionate with him and will treat him with affection. Being too young and not having a gift yet, Alma never put expectations or pressures on Antonio's shoulders. At the beginning of the film, on the day of Antonio's fifth birthday and gift ceremony, Alma helped Antonio get ready for his special day. Although Alma never put any responsibilities on Antonio, when she is seen helping Antonio into his gift ceremony outfit, he's not smiling and looks nervous before immediately smiling when Alma looks at him. This shows that Antonio is very stressed over the fear of disappointing his grandmother, but refuses to show his nervousness to her in fear of not making her proud. 
As Antonio walked to his magical door during his ceremony, Alma was visibly scared that the door would fail, but when he received his magical gift, she sighs in relief and is filled with pride for Antonio's successful ceremony. Before the family gathered for a family photo, Antonio was overjoyed when his grandmother approached him to congratulate him and shower him with praise on his gift. The next morning, Antonio has some of his animals warm Alma's seat for her at breakfast. While she's surprised and definitely a bit weirded out by the gesture, Alma sweetly thanks Antonio while calling him "Toñito". Having realized her mistake in pressuring their family, Alma has allowed Antonio to discover his own way of using his gift once the magic returns to the Encanto.
===Bruno Madrigal===
Bruno is one of Antonio's uncles and the only one by blood. Since Bruno left the family five years before he was born, Antonio, even more so than Mirabel and Camilo, knew nothing about his uncle other than the taboo on his name. Though his opinion of Bruno beforehand was unknown, Antonio learns more of him when he, at some point after acquiring his gift, talks to Bruno's rats who tell him of Bruno's hiding in the Casita's walls. From the rats, Antonio is able to recognize his uncle as a kind soul, and offers him and Mirabel to use his room for a vision. In their brief time, Antonio sees Bruno as a friend, likely in part due to their shared affinity with animals. Empathizing with Bruno's anxieties, Antonio gives him his stuffed jaguar to help calm his nerves. When Bruno finally returns to the family and is embraced by his sisters, Antonio is happy for him, while also affirming him to his brother, who had a misleading perception of their uncle.
