Characters in Encanto I found uncomfortably relatable

Bruno: predicted upcoming calamities and behavior, vilified and considered dangerous because of poor communication skills, prone to retreating, tries to repair the cracks only he can see until doing so becomes completely untenable

Mirabel: Disabled ("lacks an ability") considered to be in the way all the time, easily forgotten, glasses, wants to help, aware of fuckery from early on

Louisa: Pressure to manage more tasks than reasonable, protector of everyone, bundle of nerves, anxiety about other's well being & safety, self-worth tied to usefulness, stressed all the time, aware of danger & problems but (correctly) feels like others won't acknowlage them so she'll have to be the one to handle it, deeply aware of how she's the one to handle everything but feels like she has to be

Dolores: Picked up on things way earlier on than the others, lives in constant discomfort because of sensory problems, learned to be extra quiet to avoid being seen as weird/intrusive, weirdness pops out anyway sometimes, doesn't sleep much

Isabella: Pressure to be perfect, not really listened to, creations only valued when they meet a perfectionist's standards, "so much hides behind my smile" "What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?" OOF BIG MOOD alert, held up on a pedestal (though only when it's convenient and she does what they want)

Pepa: A whirlwind of emotions, constantly told to make "clear blue skies" no matter what her actual feelings, told off for showing her real emotions, concerns not taken seriously because she's "so emotional"
