Agustín Madrigal

Agustín Madrigal is a supporting character in Disney's  2021 animated feature film, Encanto. He is the husband of Julieta Madrigal and father of Isabela, Luisa, and Mirabel. Having married into the family, Agustín has no magical gift of his own. However, his accident-prone tendencies allow his wife to continuously refine her healing magic.

Background

Agustín is Mirabel's father. Due to being accident-prone, Agustín often needed to be healed quickly, which led to his falling in love with the slightly older Julieta, whose magical gift was to heal people via her cooking. He eventually married Julieta before having Mirabel and her sisters Isabela and Luisa.

Personality

Having married into the family, Agustín has no magical gift of his own, and understands what it is like not to feel as though he belongs in the family. He tries his best to comfort his youngest daughter, Mirabel, due to her being the only Madrigal child without a magical gift. When he discovered Bruno's vision of Mirabel and their family home being destroyed, Agustín grew concerned about what would happen to the family and tried to keep it a secret, with the well-being of his youngest daughter being the only thing in his mind as he wanted to protect Mirabel from any shame brought upon her by their family and community.

Agustín shares a close relationship with his wife, Julieta, where the two support each other and do their best to look after Mirabel whenever she is upset or facing issues over not having a magical gift. Agustín is also aware of Alma's mistreatment of Mirabel and is not afraid to stand up to his mother-in-law when she confronts him over keeping Bruno's vision a secret. All in all, Agustín loves all of his family members and is willing to protect them, despite his clumsiness.

Physical appearance

Agustín is a tall and slender Latino man who wears glasses, a white suit, and a blue vest and tie. He also has slick gray-and-black hair, a pencil-thin mustache and brown eyes. Parts of Agustín's clothes symbolize his daughters - a flower in his vest for Isabela, one sock with dumbbells for Luisa, and the other sock in the style of Mirabel’s embroidery.
