Clear skies, clear skies!
―Pepa Madrigal[src]


Pepa Madrigal is a major character in Disney's 2021 animated feature film Encanto. The middle daughter of Alma and Pedro Madrigal, she is the mother of Dolores, Camilo and Antonio Madrigal, whom she parented alongside her husband Félix. She is described as “overly emotional” and her gift allows her to control the weather. Thanks to her carefree husband, balances out her mood swings.

Background[]

Pepa is one of the three children Alma and Pedro had, alongside her brother, Bruno, and her sister, Julieta. Some time later, she married Félix and they had a daughter (Dolores) and two sons (Camilo and Antonio) together. She is also the aunt of Isabela, Luisa and Mirabel.

Personality[]

Pepa is described as "overly emotional." According to Mirabel, when she's unhappy, the temperature "gets weird". Pepa also does not like to talk about her brother Bruno, like the citizens. One reason of that is because on the day of her and Félix's wedding, Bruno said "it looks like rain", making Pepa get anxious and actually making a hurricane. But deep down, she truly missed her brother despite everything that happened. When Bruno finally returned during "All of You", she and Julieta were overjoyed and ran to welcome him back with a hug.

Like her mother Alma, Pepa has a tendency for things to be perfect, but does not strive on perfection too much like her mother does. Pepa wanted her younger son Antonio's gift ceremony to be perfect and worked to give herself a perfect image to her community by controlling her emotions. However, this is all caused by her mother keeping a tight grip on her and her siblings and when Pepa reconciles with her mother and brother, Pepa became allowed to express her emotions and powers however she likes.

Similar to older sister Julieta, Pepa is a caring, tendering mother towards her children. She expressed how proud she was of her youngest son, Antonio, during his gift ceremony and looked happy for him when he received his magical gift. Pepa also trusts her children to help her whenever she has an emotional breakdown, such as when her oldest son Camilo attempted to calm her down after learning their family's magic was dying.

Physical appearance[]

Pepa is a 50-year-old[2] woman with fair skin, curly hip-length auburn hair in a braid, and green eyes. She wears an orange-and-yellow dress with amber accents, a yellow ribbon on her head, golden sun-shaped earrings, and orange-and-brown sandals. Symbolizing her gift, Pepa's dress has many suns on it. On her wedding day she used the same sun earrings with an identical copy of her current dress, only white and instead of using a ribbon she had a long wedding veil up to her hips.

Powers and abilities[]

Pepa can control the weather through her emotional state; happiness causes warmth and sunshine, whereas frustration causes storms and strong rain. If Pepa gets deeply upset or frustrated, she can cause snowstorms or hurricanes.

Appearances[]

Encanto[]

Pepa first appears as an infant after she and her siblings were to Alma and Pedro Madrigal. After her family was forced out of their home, leading her father to be killed by soldiers, their family became blessed with magic and were given a new home. At the age of five, Pepa, along with her siblings, Julieta and Bruno, were given magical gifts where Pepa was given the ability to control the weather depending on her emotions.

Trivia[]

  • Originally, Pepa's gift was to be indestructible, but since it was too similar to Luisa's strength, it was changed to emotion-affected weather.
  • According to Jared Bush, Pepa's room is able to contain her powers within its walls, so that the weather around the Encanto is not affected when she is in her room.[3]
