## History

### Early Life

Santiago Madrigal was born to Skuld, goddess of The Future and Julieta and Agustín Madrigal, two mortal in The Casa Madrigal, The Encanto, Colombia on June 3, 2004. Both Julieta and Agustín had two daughters, Isabela and Luisa, but they longed for another child, though unfortunately, nothing was working. Both began to lose hope, when one night after dinner, they heard a voice beckoning them to the woods near their home. The couple listened to the voice and found a woman, who appeared to be glowing, with black hair, pure white eyes, and wearing a dark purple robe. "Greeting Julieta and Agustín Madrigal, I am Skuld, goddess of the future" her voice was kind and gentle as she spoke to them. The couple was in shock. A *goddess*. A goddess of *the future* was speaking to *them*. They were slightly fearful and curious as to why she was here, and speaking to *them*. All their life (Well Julieta's life), they never knew that their where *other* entities other than the magic in their small towns. Skuld felt their confusion and gently laughed. "There is no need to fear me, I have come to offer you a deal" she said simply

"A deal?" Agustín asked, the goddess nodded

"Yes. I have sensed your longing for another child, and have looked into your future, and seeing your need go...un-done, is when I decided to step in."

"Step in?" This time, Julieta spoke

"Yes, I'm offering you the deal of a child. You give me part of your DNA and I will give you a child in return"

Julieta and Agustín were in shock. A goddess, was offering to give them a child for just part of their DNA. They were about to say yes, when Skuld interrupted them. "But their is a catch" She said this is a sad tone. "What? What is this catch" Julieta asked. Skuld explained that this child with also be half divine, as this child would be created from a mortal and an *immortal*. They thought this over, but they still agreed. Skuld nodded and took a strand of their hair. She promised she would be back in nine months time and left in a flash. The couple went back to their home, wanting to believe this was some *bizarre* shared dream, but on June 3, they found a baby boy in their room, with a note. "*This is your child, the ring is able to turn into a dagger, which should be used as his weapon. Remember, the life of a half-blood is dangerous. Raise him well"*-Skuld. The couple introduced their new child to the rest of the family and named him Santiago Destino. In the next Month (July), Bruno met a woman named Irene, and had a daughter he named Luciana, in August that same year, Pepa and Felix were blessed with a daughter they named Dominga. The family would also continue to grow with the births of Mirabel, Camilo, and Antonio.

### Childhood

Santiago was the only boy of his side of the family. But, none the less, he grew up loved. He stayed in the nursery with his cousins, Luciana, Dominga, and Camilo, along with his sister Mirabel (both of whom were born when he was two years old). Santiago watched as his older sister, Isabela was favored as "the golden child" with her beautiful gift, and couldn't wait for the day he would get his door. He grew up close with Luciana and Dominga, and they were often compared to their parents (Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno). This of course made the town apprehensive of Luciana, who only could see her as a bad omen. Santiago remembers trying to protect Luciana from the teasing and bullying of the other kids in town. On his fifth birthday, he had his gift ceremony, where he was given the gift of telekinesis, in the next two months, he saw his cousins get their gifts. Things seemed great, until...

### The Failed Ceremony

Santiago was just seven years old when it was Mirabel's turn to get her gift. When Camilo got his gift, he spent him time wondering what super cool power his little sister would get. He, along with his family watched as Mirabel went to her door. Then...nothing happened. The door just faded...she didn't get a gift like the rest of her family. Santiago was shocked and confused. Why didn't she get a gift? Was something wrong with the magic? Did Casita just not *like* her? That night, he went to bed confused and upset on his sister's behalf. That same night (I mean, you should already know what happened, but for plot, I'm gonna put it here anyways) Abuela Alma asked Bruno to look into the future to try and figure out what was happening, as no Madrigal child had ever been denied a door before. After having his vision, Bruno left his family, leaving his only daughter behind.

For the most part, life would continue on as normal, but not for Mirabel or Luciana. Since the night of her gift ceremony, Mirabel had been desperately trying to make up for the fact she didn't receive a gift by helping out in an attempt to "make her family proud". Despite that, she is unable to help as much as her cousins, sisters, mother and aunt, due to their having gifts, much to her dismay. Luciana on the other hand, would face incrased bullying from other kids, and would be shunned by the towns people, who saw her as "The Next Bruno". Santiago would try to make her feel better by making things float to try and entertain her, and Dominga offered to make any wish she had come true, but Luciana would state "No amount of magic can make my dad come back". Luciana would late shut her self in her bed room, praying for her father to return.

### The Day Lucia Left

When Santiago was twelve years old, he went into Luciana's room to wake her up, only to find her...gone. There was no sight of her any where in the house. Santiago and Dominga first went to Dolores, she *must've* heard something! But, Dolores stood silent, saying she didn't hear anything. The duo also asked their family if they saw her to no avail. Then, they went around town, either asking people or just plain shouting Luciana's name, but there was know sign of her. Both Santiago and Dominga were anxious to find her, but at the same time, they were bitter at the family and the town, who felt they were the ones to drive their uncle and cousin away, and they vowed they would find Luciana one day

### A Journey to Camp

When Santiago was fifteen years old, he and Dominga never stopped searching, adventuring all over the Encanto to try and find their cousin. Then one day, Dominga came up is a theory. It sounded like a stupid theory, but any theory was better than nothing. Dominga theorized that what if Luciana wasn't *in* the Encanto, but went *over* the mountains. The ones that surrounded the entire Encanto. It seemed possible! The two of them looked *everywhere* they could think, but never did they think to look over the mountains. They both knew they would break their parents' hearts, by doing this, but they ***had*** to find Lucy. They were going to get over those mountains.

That night, the two snuck out from their house, with their bags packed. They stood at the base of the mountains, wondering how they would get over. Santiago was coming up with a plan to climb the mountain or to use his telekinesis, when Dominga said "Just make a wish!", so he did, he wished he and Dominga were out side the Encanto, and Dominga granted the wish. The next second, they were out side the mountains, near a town in Colombia. They began their journey from there. They duo would spend their times on the streets looking for the cousin, along with taking money from people in order to live. It's here when the two began to unlock their powers as demigods, as one night, Santiago had a dream of Luciana in a place known as California. Santiago told Dominga of his strange dream and the two set off for America. They managed to get on a cruise ship that was heading to California. It took them a few days to get to California, but they had fun on the boat. Once getting to California, they began to look for the place Santiago saw Luciana was, but were found by a satyr, who sensed they were demigods. The Satyr led them to Camp Olympia, where they where reunited with their missing cousin. At first, they wanted to take her back to The Encanto, but when Luciana showed resistance, they decided to stay with her. Santiago was later claimed as the son of Skuld

## Personality

Santiago Madrigal is pretty much known by the Student Body of Camp Olympia as being cool, calm, and collected. He enjoys being incredibly cryptic and having a mysterious vibe to him- it's all in the day's work for a demigod who can see the future. Saying little during classes (sometimes not showing up at all) and leaving his personality up to his friend's imagination, the general consensus is that Santiago is very well put together and just "too cool for school, man". Oh, how Santiago wishes. Santiago wears an aura of confidence as a protective measure, so to speak. Don't let anyone know you have terrible anxiety and it will all be fine. He keeps his head high, doesn't address the rumors, and keeps a smile. Those who talk to Santi find him cocky and very sure of his abilities. While Santiago isn't really self-absorbed, he does have a lot of self-love, bordering on ​​​self-centered (though nowhere near the self-centeredness Cora Williams appears to have, let me tell you). He also appears very careless and carefree. Skipping traning without a care in the world, doing impulsive things for the hell of it, and saying things he might regret, all with a smirk and shrug. He’s living life to the fullest, as he puts it, and spending his teenage years the way "they’re meant to be spent". He doesn't seem to recognize the consequences of his actions, and when he is asked why he does the things he does, he just gives a smile and drops a funny one-liner. It's all a lie. A well-crafted, incredibly fabricated lie he’s been perfecting for years. You see, the problem is, the future vision, much like his uncle’s gift, is a blessing and a curse, all rolled into one. There is a huge price to pay for it, and that is terrible anxiety that comes along with it. It's not all fun and games, it's hard living with the knowledge of how the future is going to play out, with no way to change it. Believe me, Santi has tried. It's very stressful to know when and how bad things are going to happen, it's almost crippling. Some learn to cope with this, like Santi’s immortal mom, but as a young demigod, Santiago still doesn't have a grasp on it. It's not all a lie though, I guess. Santiago is, actually, very impulsive, but not in a cool, fun way. Yeah, he’s playing it off as "haha let's go get ice cream at midnight, so quirky and fun!", but a lot of times his impulsivity gets the best of him. He can be very reckless, and rarely think things through, putting himself and the people he cares about in often dangerous and irreversible situations. It's not all fun in games, his impulsivity has ruined relationships, and permanently tainted Santiago's record and reputation. But it's fine, just act like you don't care and just play it off because that's how people think you are. Santiago has a huge tendency to run away from his problems. He hates to face the truth of any situation and will pretend everything is fine until eventually, it does become fine. He’s constantly procrastinating and pushing things back as far as he can, just to avoid confrontation or a difficult situation. The entire "chill and cool" exterior he puts out is, in essence, just him trying to run away from the anxiety his future vision has caused. Also thanks to the future vision, Santi is somewhat nihilistic. He believes the future is set in stone, and our actions don't affect it at all. On a more positive note, Santiago is very passionate about the things he enjoys. When he likes something, he likes it a lot. A prime example of this is his interest in Star Wars- he knows everything and everything there is to know, and he could talk for hours about it to anyone who would listen. Is it also a coping mechanism- getting emotionally invested in certain types of media and interest to distract himself from the ever-growing stress of knowing the outcome of every situation ever? Possibly. Of course, underneath the anxiety and mystery, Santi is still a rather joyous demigod. He loves making jokes and seeing people laugh and he is the KING of puns and dad jokes (thanks to Hector and his dad, Augstin). Santiago loves being social and as much as the general student body tries to avoid him, Sati is very much an extrovert and adores the friends he has. The whole act is very tiring, but it's something Santi is willing to put on for the sake of others around him.

### Fatal flaw(s)

Santiago's two fatal flaws are Loyalty and curiosity. Santiago has this mind set of "no one gets left behind" and that's how he was like with Luciana. He didn't want her to feel left out, and was willing to do anything to get her back, this is where his curiosity. His determination to find Luciana led to him and Dominga wondering what was over the mountains that surrounded their former home, and so they traveled over them.

## Appearance
