## History

### Early Life

Luciana Madrigal was born to Ixchel, goddess of the moon, pregnancy, childbirth, women, snakes and Bruno Madrigal on July 3, 2004 in The Casa Madrigal in Colombia. Ixchel had come to The Encanto, looking to escape her abusive husband Ak Kin. She disguised herself as a beautiful woman in her early thirties and befriended a Family living there. One day, while the Madrigals were doing their usual work (I would think Dolores and Isabela already have their gifts). Ixchel, who’s fake name was Irene Hernandes, was a bit curious about this magical Family. Ixchel’s friend had explained the history of their town. Soon Ixchel decided that she would talk to one of these family members. The first Madrigal she talked to…was Bruno Madrigal. Ixchel found him…a bit cute, but Bruno on the other hand, was smitten, often blushing and stuttering whenever Ixchel was around (Something his sisters teased him about). Bruno saw Irene (Ixchel) as beautiful and kind and the two became friends, meaning Irene was soon introduced to the rest of the family, meeting Abuela, Julieta, Pepa, Agustín and Felix. Along with meeting the children, Dolores and Isabela, who took to calling her Ms. Irene.

Over time, Ixchel found herself being attracted to Bruno, finding him better than her husband, seeing him as very kind, sincere and just in general a good person, never caring about Bruno’s reputation within the town. Soon enough, the two fell in love and later had a child. Though the couple was happy, Ixchel was never prepared to have a child with a mortal. So, after telling Bruno she was pregnant, Ixchel soon told Bruno about her being a goddess, and their child would be a demigod and after their child was born, Ixchel would half to leave, as gods can’t be in their children’s life. Though Bruno was sad, he knew Ixchel would always be with him. Ixchel briefly left to have their child and on July 3, 2004, Luciana Rosa Madrigal was born, with Ixchel leaving in the process. One month before her, Santiago was born, and one month after her, Dominga was born

### Childhood

As mentioned by Luciana to Marko and Alison, she had a decent Childhood. She was loved by her family and was close to her cousins. (Dorles and Isabela were five years older than her and Luisa was two years older than her), and grew up beside Santiago and Dominga, as they all roomed together in The Nursery. She wasn’t that well liked because of her father’s reputation, but that didn’t matter at the time, since she had her dad by her side. She was told that her mother died in childbirth. At the age of five, she was given her gift…The power of Geokinesis. She could manipulate and summon things like rocks (boulders, regular rocks, pebbles, etc), soil, sand, and dust. She could also control gems and precious jewels. Her gems could also enhance her family’s powers for a limited amount of time before going back to regular gems. As she grew older, other kids would pick on her for her “weird” obsessions with rocks and her fearlessness to holding snakes. Things were looking great…until her cousin Mirabel’s gift ceremony…

### The Night Her Father Left

Luciana was only seven years old when Bruno had left her life. It was the night of Mirabel’s gift ceremony. Luciana watched her favorite cousin walk up the stairs to receive her gift. Luciana watched as she (Mirabel) touched the door handle of her soon-to-be room, excited about what kind of gift she would get. But, her door suddenly faded away, and she didn't get a gift like the rest of her family. That night, when Luciana was in her own room, unbeknownst to her, Abuela worried about the family’s magic and asked Bruno to see what the future showed. (You already know what the vision showed). Due to the typically negative outcomes of his prophecies and how everyone always assumes the worst, Bruno broke the vision slab and hid himself from everyone to protect Mirabel from being blamed. Before he went into hiding, Luciana went to check on her father.

“Papa?”

Bruno turned to face the daughter he would have to leave

“Papa, where are you going?”

Bruno sighed. “I’ll be going away for a bit,” he hated lying to his only child, but this was for the best. “But, your Tia’s and Tio’s will take care of you while I’m gone, okay?” Although the seven year old didn't know what her dad ment, she nodded and hugged her dad. “Be back soon, okay?” Luciana said. Bruno smiled softly, “I’ll try”. With that, Luciana went back to her room and her father went into hiding. Unbeknownst the father and daughter, the Mayan moon goddess looked down on the situation with a heavy heart.

### Life That Followed

From that point forward, Luciana grew up both motherless and fatherless. Her Tia Juleita and Tia Pepa would often take care of her, but whenever she went to help out with work, she was often disregarded by the towns members from helping, as word got out that Bruno had left. Luciana was called a “Cursed Child” by other kids and the bullying just got worse. Mirabel often had it bad since she was always left alone in the Casita. Soon, Luciana just started staying home, to one: keep her younger cousin company and two: to avoid being picked on. At the age of ten, she tried going out and tried making friends. She was not well viewed by the other kids and they began bullying her. She decided enough was enough and stood up for herself. However, the more they taunted her, the more angry she got. Soon, they brought up the most sore subject: her parents. That pushed Luciana to her limit and she accidentally caused a minor earthquake. From then on, she was outcast and just stayed in the casita. 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".

After that day, she ran to her room and subconsciously started packing a bag. She soon realized what she was doing and discarded the bag ‘I can’t run away’ she thought. She didn’t unpack the bad and soon went to bed, skipping dinner. In her sleep, she had a weird dream. In her dream she was greeted by a seemingly familiar face. Though it seemed much more than a dream. The ethereal figure that greeted her was Ixchel. Her mother… Though, Luciana didn’t know this. “Who are you?” Luciana asked. The goddess smiled, “I’m surprised you didn’t recognize me, Luciana” Ixchel said “I’ve never seen you,” Luciana said. Ixchel smiled softly “I’m your mother,” was all the goddess said. Luciana didn’t speak for a while until she said “What!?” Luciana was confused. “But, papa said you were dead!” Ixchel smiled sadly “Unfortunately, he was lying to you Amor. I’m not dead…I’m Ixchel, Mayan goddess of The Moon” she explained. “So…if you're a goddess and papa was human…what does that make me? And why didn’t papa say you were alive all this time?” Luciana asked. Ixchel laughed, “one, me being a goddess makes you a demigod, or half-blood. Two, the only reason your father had lied was to protect you. You couldn’t know that I was a goddess and I couldn’t be in your life…I'm sorry” Ixchel said, and her daughter hugged her. “It’s okay, you were trying to protect me…Were you watching over me?” Luciana asked. “I was, and I’m happy to let you know that there is a place for demigods, like you” Ixchel explained “Oh? And where is it?” Luciana asked “It’s in The US, California”, Ixchel said. “Will I have to leave the Casita?” Ixchel nodded “yes, but don’t worry, I’ll be protecting you…every step of the way.”

Soon, Luciana woke up. It was now morning, and on her night stand layed a beautiful diamond dagger and three silver throwing knives with a note..from her mother at that.

*‘To Luciana, these will be your weapons. You’ll need them to protect you on your journey. Stay safe mi Gema precio-sa -Love your mama’*

Luciana put the weapons in her bag and began to hatch a plan to leave. This plan would unfortunately take two years.

### Leaving Home

Luciana was twelve years old when she finally left home. She decided that she would leave during the night. Sure, it was highly likely that Dolores would catch her, but she decided that she would lie and say that she wanted to search for her father. But this opportunity was not just for leaving to camp, Luciana felt like she couldn’t stay in The Encanto anymore. She felt out of place, she saw how Mirabel tried to make herself part of the family, but Luciana couldn’t bring herself to do the same. She, like her dad, was considered a black sheep of the family. This would be her chance to see the world, outside of the Encanto. She couldn’t help but be a bix excited about this! After dinner, Luciana packed her bag, grabbing food from the kitchen, packing extra clothes and whatnot. She tried as quietly as she could to leave her room. She heard some clicking from the Casita, as if asking where she was going. Luciana couldn’t respond, but she said a barely audible “I’m going away” The Casita seemed to understand and began taking her to the front door. Just as she suspected, Dolores was soon coming down the stairs.

“Where are you going?” the fifteen year old asked. “I’m gonna look for my father,” Luciana said. “But, it’s dangerous!” Dolores reasoned, worried for her younger cousin, “You know what Abulea says” Luciana just nodded. “I’ll be careful, I know what I’m doing.” she said. Dolores embraced her younger cousin in a tight hug. “Please, please be careful,” Dolores said quietly. “I will,” Luciana responded. Luciana soon asked Dolores something. “Dolores, I need you to promise that you won’t tell anyone I left. Let them figure it out on their own…please” Luciana said. Dolores just nodded and like that, Luciana began her journey. Climbing the mountains didn’t take that long since, Luciana had fucking earh powers, so she could easily get over the mountain. She looked over the view as the sun began to rise. This would be her new life, to search for this camp and start a new path. She looked back at her little village, and made one promise to herself. “I’m never coming back”

### Life on The Streets and Coming to Camp

Luciana climbed down the mountain with her gift and she soon got down, she made her way to the Capital city of Colombia. At first, she mostly stole to survive until a shop owner by the name of Carlos took pity on the young girl and offered her a place to stay for a bit. She accepted but soon after a while she decided to leave, but the two promised to keep in touch. While on the run, she had stolen money from many people and soon found herself sneaking on to a boat. She didn’t know where she was going until she asked someone, and it said it was taking them to America. Luciana hid within the bassmet of the ship until they reached the US, specifically in Texas. She began living on the streets and became a thief in order to survive, mainly just stealing from shops for food and clothes. Soon enough, she met a boy around her age, named Marko Madrigal. They both bonded quickly over their shared last name (Though Marko's family came from Mexico). The two agreed to each other, and while getting to California, Luciana realized that Marko could see all same mythological things she could.

Once they got to California, they ran into another girl named Alison Cruz, who was from Rhode Island. Alison explained she had been sent to live with her aunt and uncle to get away from her unsafe home town. Alison also agreed to traveling with Luciana and Marko. Alison also realized she had the ability to see the same thing Luciana and other demigods could see. While on the way, the three became very close. Luciana was the one to protect Alison and Marko whenever a monster would attack them. Soon, three of them got to camp. While Luciana was claimed by Ixchel, Marko and Alison stayed in the Hermes cabin as they are mortals. When Luciana was fourteen, her cousins Santiago and Dominga came to camp, coming to find her. They tried to get her to come home, but Luciana was firm on staying at Camp. When Santiago and Dominga were claimed, they decided to stay with her.

## Personality

While living in The Encanto as a child, Luciana was quiet and timid. Because of her father’s reputation, she was often teased by other kids. However, on the inside, Luciana was adventurous and rebellious. After running away from home at the age of twelve, she changed. Luciana became a gremlin of a girl. She has a tendency to wander clearly on her own accord, and is constantly on the lookout for trouble. She has few wise words to live by and is constantly guided through her life through mistakes, impulsiveness, humor, and a hint of sadness, often wondering what life would be like if she had just stayed in The Encanto. She is not one to take something at face value and can be seen doing dangerous things that may result in very severe injury without even a note of hesitation in her voice. She is one to live by adrenaline, constantly craving something new and exciting that will bring her some entertainment. She uses her humor and life-is-fun mentality to cheer up the people around her. Her brain runs a mile a minute, and she sees the world through a camera lens of petulant humor and fun. To her, the impossible is nonexistent when it truly comes down to it. In her mind, she is invisible and omnipotent; there is nothing in this world she can't do. That's when it comes down to her flaws. Her mind is constantly dominated by a sense of invincibility: that she can get through anything. Her optimism can be annoying if over-exposed, which it often is. She chooses to fly through life simply relying on impulse and gut feelings. But she isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Luciana can easily villainize somebody, and even if she is considered a small, intelligent, and hyper little gremlin at the best of times, Luciana has a tendency to show a strangely vindictive side of herself when a situation calls for it. Luciana is incredibly understanding, patient, and calming. She practically radiates an aura of calm and peace everywhere she goes, but when she is with her friends. In battle, Luciana is known to be fearless and brave, willing to put herself in danger for her best friends, Marko and Alison. Luciana is a kind-hearted, outgoing, eccentric, geeky girl. She is eager to find her place in the world and be accepted for who she feels she truly is. She is seen as an outcast with The Encanto due both her father's reputation to making herself seem strange and difficult to engage with by her peers, school staff and her own mother, leading to her having no friends besides imaginary ones or dragonflies, and sometimes Santi and Dominga. Luciana is determined to be who she wants to be regardless of the opposition she receives, even if said opposition has legitimate backing. She is proven to be remarkably headstrong, and her excessive determination and refusal to show conformity lead to her social life and school performance stagnating. This is translated to the rest of the Madrigals by not using her gift as intended and getting in trouble. Despite this, Luciana is intelligent and surprisingly introspective when she allows herself the room to breathe, seen in quieter scenes, such as when showing her cousins she still uses her gift after many years. Despite being typically cheerful and good-natured, Luciana knows when to draw the line, as shown after Santi insulted and discarded her ideas in the webisode Sense and Insensitivity. Luciana has also been shown to utter small phrases in Spanish when experiencing certain bouts of emotion. She is clever, creative, and a quick thinker, capable of coming up with solutions to problems on the fly, but if she has too much on her mind she can be oblivious to things like Marko's crush on her. However, she is not entirely self-assured as she actually has underlying self-esteem issues mostly regarding school, calling herself a screw-up and suggesting she belongs in the trash. Luciana does not tolerate when others take advantage of their positions in life, regularly standing up for herself, those who cannot do so themselves or inspiring them to as seen against the likes of Cora and Elena. After Alison is captured and essentially sentenced to execution, Luciana enters a state of despair-induced aggression capable of not only appearing to boost her powers, but even striking fear into veteran members of the family such as Leo and earning the admiration of many gods.

### Fatal flaw

Luciana's fatal flaw is her ambition/recklessness. Luciana tends to act with out thinking, and this ends up getting her into trouble. Her ambition plays apart in her life when she was dead set on finding her father. This would lead her to leave her home while also finding camp Olympia at the same time

## Appearance

Luciana is a beautiful seventeen year old Colombian girl. Luciana mostly takes after her father in terms of her looks. She has long and curly black hair that used to be hanging down, but is now tied into a braid. Unlike her dad, she has light tanned skin but she does have her dad’s green-hazel eyes. When living in The Encanto, she wore a white shirt with jade-green trimming, a long green skirt with white stripes. On her skirt were small golden dots and representing her gift, there were diamonds littered across her skirt and she wore green sandals. Now at school, she normally wears her old outfit for special occasions or just when she wants to, but now she still wears a white shirt, but now it says “Shine bright like a diamond” in dark green writing, light blue shorts, and light green sneakers.

When Luciana had left the Encanto, they were *dead set* on trying to find her and bring her back. But once they saw how happy she was at camp, they to, decided to stay.

### Family

#### Ixchel (Mother)

Luciana is very close to her mother, rather than the rest of her family. Ixchel watched over and tried to protect her only daughter. Her mother (Ixchel) loves her (Luciana), and though she feels strongly separated from Ixchel, which brings her great sadness, she does hold a loving face when she gazes up at the moon, her mother. Ixchel takes great pride in everything her daughter does and tries to support her as much as she can.

#### Bruno (Father)

Luciana's relationship with her father is...rather distant. When Luciana was younger, she and Bruno were very close and Bruno did love her, but after Mirabel's gift ceremony and with him leaving, their relationship became distant. When Luciana left The Encanto, she had no way of contacting her father, so they've lost connection. Nowadays, Luciana can't associate any love with his face, simply because he walked out of her life when she was just seven years old.
