Encanto OC Event Week 2

Part 2: Tomás Herrera & Others

(Part 1 Here)

The second half of my OC relationship info post - this'll include some info about Tomás's bonds with my other OCs, as well as those background OCs' relationships with each other and canon characters.

@encanto-extended-edition

Tomás in regards to his natal family:

Tomás is the youngest in a family of four, born to Lucía and Horacio Herrera.

Lucía was a schoolteacher and volunteer in the town library, who passed away when Tomás was still a child. Tomás loved and admired his mother, considering her to have been a saint in life. The memories he has of her are fond ones, recalling her as being a kind woman without a bad word to say about anyone. He thinks highly of her optimism and humility, and her ability to make anyone feel understood and listened to.

Lucía as well as Tomás's older brother, Mateo, are both canonically deceased as per the events of the story the Herrera family is introduced in. This leaves Tomás and his father as the last living of their family within the Encanto.

Horacio used to be a mason, having to retire early due to weakness in his legs. Between this and the loss of his parents, his wife, and eventually his oldest son, Horacio sometimes thinks he's cursed - but his one silver lining is his remaining son, Tomás. Horacio has zero qualms about being openly affectionate with Tomás both physically and verbally, and though he's a little oblivious at times, he only wants the best for his boy. Tomás in turn is a loyal and protective son to Horacio, willing to put up with a little embarrassment if it makes his father happy. It doesn't matter how old Tomás gets, he'll always be his papá's conejito.

Art by cringecanto (right)

It's a bit self-indulgent of me, but I'm of the mind that when Tomás marries into the family, Casita springs up a small in-law suite for Horacio so he won't have to spend his days in an empty house. I also am of the mind that in their youth Horacio and Bruno were quite friendly with each other, due to both more or less being underdogs with not a lot of friends between them.

Horacio likely approached Bruno before his wife's passing, just on the off chance he saw her make a miraculous recovery. That isn't what he saw, of course. But though devastated, Horacio accepted the result with as much grace as he could and didn't blame Bruno or his visions for the bad news.

They ended up losing touch when Bruno became more withdrawn and eventually "left", but upon Bruno's return to society their friendship ends up picking right back up where it left off. When Tomás marries into the family and Horacio tags along, he and Bruno spend a good amount of their time having tea and playing cards as old men tend to do.

The rest under the cut to spare the poor dashboards out there!

The Patch:

The Patch, or El Parche, is the group name I use to refer to Camilo's small group of older friends, including Tomás (as introduced in the previous post). They're childhood friends; as a unit and individually they're all well-liked young men within their peers and the community as a whole, decently popular in different ways. They initially were meant to be unnamed background characters whose designs were pulled from random Encantownies, but I accidentally got attached to them and now they all have proper designs and development. Such is my life.--

Cristián Vargas, Rafael Molina, Santiago Torres, Tomás Herrera

Santiago (22) is the oldest not only of the friend group but of his own siblings, of which he's got 6 younger sisters and brothers. He's the designated 'mom friend' by nature, easily slotting into leadership positions and able to keep a handle on multiple goings-on at once. That said he very much is a mother hen type, a bit fussy and prone to scolding his siblings and friends (usually Rafael) whenever they start steering towards bad decisions.

Tomás and Santi are usually on the same page when it comes to caution and forethought, contrasting with Rafa and Cris's more go-with-the-flow attitudes. Santi's compassionate nature makes it easy for him to pick up on what Tomás is feeling without him voicing it, taking it upon himself to either make decisions based on what Tomás would most prefer or urging the others to do so instead. Tomás appreciates Santi looking out for him, feeling it alleviates pressure off of his own shoulders when he's unsure of what to do.

Rafael (21) is the most boisterous of all of them, the beacon of activity and extroversion to balance out his more subdued companions. He's a risk-taker and extremely liberal-minded about topics that usually wouldn't be openly bragged out, often leading to Santi urging him to keep it down (which will inevitably be ignored or expanded upon specifically to make Santi flustered).

His loud and brash personality clashes with Tomás's reserved ways, but the two have a unique bond despite the expected incompatibility; Rafael is not at all discouraged by Tomás's quietness and Tomás isn't put off by Rafael's brazenness. They both think the other is easy to communicate with - Tomás never has to guess what Rafa's feelings are and Rafa likes Tomás's predilection for being a listening ear.

Cristián (20) is far old enough now to have an identity and social circle separate to those of his twin brother César, but when he was a young child he used to be very shy and hesitant to leave his brother's side. When Santi and Rafa became his friends it was the first time he felt comfortable with something (or someone) that was more or less his own - so when his new friends started chatting with Tomás he felt a little threatened. Fears of abandonment were unfounded though, as not only did his friends not dump him in favor of the New Kid, but he very quickly realized why they liked Tomás and ended up getting attached to him too.

As adults they have similar mellow temperaments and get along quite nicely, though Cris's vastly improved self-assurance has made him a lot more laidback and unflappable than the more organized and prim Tomás. Tomás admires Cris's ability to be both steadfast and considerate, unwavering in what he believes in but knowing when to handle situations with delicateness and care.

When Camilo entered the picture and turned the Patch into a five-man-band, all four of the older members collectively decided that he was more or less their joint little brother. Santiago attempts to provide Camilo with proper advice and look out for him in ways an older brother should, which often means trying to make sure Rafael keeps his crude language in check around him. Rafael usually does not, taking a completely different approach to being and older brother and totally enabling Camilo's mischievous nature. Cristián is somewhere in the middle, oftentimes siding with Santi or Rafa purely based on what he think would have the most entertaining result.

Beyond this though Cris is a unique source of understanding for Camilo, as Cris is the only other person he knows who doesn't experience romantic attraction for anyone and has no interest in dating. He could have asked Bruno, of course, but solidarity feels a little better coming from someone close to his own age rather than his quirky hermit uncle.--

Cris, Santi and Rafa are the older brothers to Cecilia, Alejandra and Juancho (the town kids) respectively.

Other relationships to Encantownies include:

Santi and Alejandra have five other siblings, and José (the tall fellow Camilo shifts into near the start of the movie) is their tío. Osvaldo is a tío to Rafael and Juancho, as well as their teenaged sister. Cris's parents are seen bringing Cecilia into Casita before Antonio's ceremony, and his twin brother César is the young man who asks Luisa to help upright his leaning house.

Other OCs:

Claudia Reyes (19) is the young lady with the drum seen during The Family Madrigal, whose family owns the music shop they're playing in front of. Beside her are her brother-in-law on the left and her father on the right.

She's Rafael's long-time girlfriend, on his same wavelength of open-mindedness and free spirit. They've been in a strange will-they-won't-they situation since they were teenagers, with Rafael playing it off like they're not all that serious and just messing around. Everyone knows Rafa's totally full of it and is head over heels for her though, including Claudia who's more or less just waiting for him to finally get around to proposing. They're going to have at least 4 kids together.

She knows the rest of the Patch more or less as her boyfriend's friends, but there's still rapport between them and Claudia's more than welcome to hang with the boys whenever she wants. On top of that, she's also Luisa's good friend who oftentimes will suggest Luisa try out outrageous things in an effort to push her out of her comfort zone.

The town librarian, usually referred to as the Maestro, is an enigmatic yet helpful figure in town whose mission in life is the sharing of knowledge. They can be considered everyone's friend, though like Horacio they have a kinship with Bruno that goes back quite a few years. All perfectly platonic, mind you! Additionally, given Lucía's history of volunteering in the library, the Maestro also is on good terms with the Herrera family and still keeps in touch with Horacio pretty regularly.

And I think those are the most notable relationships to get into for now! Up next will be the AU posts, and... boy, do I have a lot of those. 🫠

Hello! I'm Energycat on AO3.

At the moment I'm mostly writing Encanto fanfiction and some short stories from my experiences working as a forestry technician.

What I'm currently working on*:

Tiny Tio, Big world

When Bruno wakes up to discover he's even smaller than usual, he has to figure out how to navigate the world from a rat's point of view. And he doesn't even get the advantages of being a rat! This gives a whole other meaning to the nickname Tiny Tío.

Debut and Renew Series

(Part 1) Tio: Bruno meets his sobrinos for the first time. (Part 2) Still Tio: Bruno meets his sobrinos a second time.

12 Hours Til Sunrise

What if when Bruno, Antonio, and Mirabel climb out of the wall from behind the painting, they don't end up in the right place? Listen for the tolling bell, for after the clock strikes 12, the sun will rise.

(Encantober 2023)

*I am not including collabs because I don't want to put any pressure on my co-writers.

My oc:

Margarita Valentine

Short stories involving Señora Valentine while she's the Encanto's librarian (and maybe a little of her mysterious past if she's willing to share her adventures) *Chapters in this one will be posted out of order to keep the timeline in order*

Some completed stories:

Defeating expectation and other extraordinary acts

Bruno knows what he can do. Probably. Everyone else thinks they know what he can do. Mirabel probably has the most accurate opinion of the bunch. Everyone will be surprised. (Bruno is coaxed by the kids to show off some parkour and some of the residents of Encanto aren't happy to have him back among them after ten years.)

Healing Memories

A collection of completed one-shots with the themes of healing and memories.

Made with Love

Bruno's relationship with food after leaving the walls and after he's recovered a year later. We support a healthy pancita around here.

Madremonte's Garden and the Wakos' Cave

The triplets decide to rekindle a tradition they had before Bruno hid in the walls. Taking a hike to a special place for some sibling bonding sounds like a wonderful idea now that Bruno has returned, Casita is reborn, and the family is healing nicely. (This is my EBB story)

Fables by Firelight

Camilo decides to get all the grandkids (plus Bruno and Mariano) to gather around a fire to tell spooky stories in the dark.

And many more...

Feel free to send asks, it's always open

Side Story: To be The Very Best

TW/// Blood

Isabela Madrigal. The first of the third generation of the family Madrigal. The one that is expected to lead their family when Abuela time has come. The next matriarch and leader of The Encanto. The one that will assure a new era of prosperity and change for the Encanto.

Or at least, that was what Abuela said she would be when she grew up.

She was confused of course. Why her specifically? Couldn’t her mama or aunt or uncle do it? They were adults. The one that usually does things that she or her cousin Dolores can’t do. So why aren’t they the ones that do it? They look like they could do a better job than her.

And her kind and patient Abuela answers her question. Telling her that the reason was that she was going to lead the future generation, fellow children like her would grow up and become adults too. And as the oldest child of the third generation of the familia Madrigal, it was expected of her to lead her family forward towards a better future.

She didn’t really understand her Abuela words at first, but she said she understood and that she’ll do everything in her power to be the very best so she could protect the Encanto, if only to get rid of the sad and haunted look her grandmother kept having whenever their home is involved.

She doesn’t want her Abuela to be sad, she wants her to be happy like the rest of the adults. Which means that she needs to fulfill the expectation that Abuela has in her. Abuela wanted her to be a leader, and she would be the best-est one.

But she doesn’t really know how.

So like any curious child, she decides to find a book about being a leader. Searching through the library about leadership and even asking the librarian if there’s any book she can borrow. And from the books she read. She basically needs to be courageous, respectful, self-aware, and empathetic. She needs to be visionary. A leader that knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. The one that people know they can depend on and be the very pinnacle of the best.

And just like that. The path to perfection began.

Everyday, from daylight to midnight. She practiced everything that she had been taught until it reached its peak perfection. Hours and hours of solitude to perfect her craft. Each failed attempt she will do again and again until she gets it right, until it’ll be as natural as breathing.

When she carves a Pokeball until it’s as smooth as metal. Ignoring every cut to her hand, splinter stabbing into it, or even accidentally having the sharp knife stabbing into her hand. She doesn't stop until she gets the perfect round shape. Until it looks exactly like her papa. Even when it’s coated in her blood.

Or when she was tasked to capture wild Pokémon. She would always practice the throwing motion, using a makeshift bullseye with her plants. Not stopping until she always hits the very center. Ignoring the way her hand trembles with each flicking motion to her wrist or the pain in her shoulder as she felt something tear inside her arm. She kept on throwing and throwing until she always hit the center even while moving rapidly.

Or when she participated in the Tournament of Champions. She spends months studying strategies and tactics. Experimenting it on strong and wild Pokémon's no matter the danger. Observing every match she comes across and even learning people’s little quirks and ticks in their battling style. Learning to predict what they were about to do before they even began to think of it. Controlling the match so they would be forced to follow her pace. Hitting them hard and fast. Until she was declared the “Champion”.

Some may say she was too hard on herself, borderline obsessive. But seeing the sheer pride (and hope) by all the adults makes it worth it. She would be an example, someone that will be looked up to when conflict arises. The leader they needed. To make her Abuela proud and happy.

And although she might have hurt herself a lot in her pursuit to perfection. She only needs to eat her mami’s food and no one will be none the wiser. She even learns to stay so quiet that Dolores couldn’t hear her when she gets hurt. After all, she was the oldest. She needs to take care of the younger family members (even though Dolores is three months younger than her). They should let her handle all their burdens. To let them be carefree and happy. Make themselves a hobby and make new friends and all that.

And while, there are times when she wishes she could just battle her heart out. To be able to just freely spend time with her partners without having to worry about doing too much that people started to fear her. And sure, sometimes she slips up and may have asked to do battle a little too much, but she was just having so much fun. It was one of the fun things she can do to her heart content without looking like she was going overboard.

But she knows she can’t, because she needs to be an example. And an example can’t have flaws. She’ll make everyone proud. And pretty soon, Mirabel too will get her own gift. And her little sister needs a good role model as her mama likes to say. So she will be that too for Mirabel.

Oh, she just can’t wait to teach her sister everything she knows. It’ll be a fun bonding time for the both of them. Especially when Mirabel needs to learn how to control her gift, she could think of a generally good advice she could tell her.

Oh, she just can’t wait!

For the giftless grandkids (minus Antonio) au-

Luisa works as a construction worker? (Or something that has to do with building things.)

Isabela is a botanist and/or owns a flower/paint shop. It’s up to you.

Dolores could possibly be a librarian. It’s simple, quiet, and doesn’t require much work. Unless you think she would be fit for something else.

Mirabel is learning how to be an embellisher. (reference to your HC).

Camilo is a theater kid, always will be. Probably learning how to be an actor and make costumes and such.

Camilo used to drag Mira into helping him finish up detailing his costumes and outfits. Or just ask her about what she would put here or there and do it himself instead. After a while he bothered her less and figured things out himself but they still hang out.

(And sorry if this doesn’t align with your perception of Camilo but I HC that he likes making clothes. Especially outfits for his family and costumes for his plays. Yes, he’s lazy. He will give up if a project it’s a bit much too much. But if buddy can chase kids around all day in canon I do think he can have energy to make clothes in an au)

I’m not entirely sure what to do for angst. Do you think Alma would still pressure Isa into being perfect/marrying mariano?

I’m assuming we’re dropping the royalty idea then? Because obviously none of them would be working in that case. And I’m going to assume we’re in the canon setting as well for this.

Completely agree!

Luisa would definitely work in construction. She’s a huge construction nerd in canon, so getting to do that right off the bat? Amazing! She probably still helps out a lot around town, especially without a gift, I can imagine she still is a bit of a workaholic.

Mirabel, once old enough, would definitely be hired by a local seamstress as an embellisher. She wouldn’t be getting any of the credit, but I think she would rather it that way. She wouldn’t want to be swarmed by people or anything. Probably unintentionally lets herself be treated unfairly by her boss subsequently.

The other three? Not so much. People forget that this is a small, rural town, that hasn’t modernised beyond the 1890s:

Flower shops weren’t a thing in such areas yet. (Flower shops originated in 1875 and only got popular in later years). There may be a small market stand or two for bouquets in Encanto, but that would be about it. Most people would just pick flowers or grow their own in their gardens. Besides Isa would rather work with more interesting plants than flowers anyways

Though libraries have been around for thousands of years, the chances of Encanto having one are very slim. There would just be bookshops. And it would be very different from what we know in the present day. Bookshops were fairly small and just ran by the owner, there wasn’t a need for more employees

Encanto probably has a small, local theatre (that is probably used for other things in the “off season”), but it wouldn’t be active so frequently. Jobs would be few and far between, as it would only be used every so often. Costume designers wouldn’t really a thing as there would be much budget for it. Costumes and props were just collected from people’s own belongings, things rarely would have been specifically made

If Isabela were to have a vaguely nature related job, she’d most likely work as a fieldworker on another family’s farm. That would be the best source of pay and most in demand job. If we don’t force her into a nature related job at all, I could see her being a dance teacher for children. (As dance was a lot more common practice back then). She wouldn’t overly enjoy it the same way Luisa and Mira would enjoy theirs because teaching children isn’t something I think Isa cares about, but dance is something within her skill set.

Considering how musical she is, it is fair to say that Dolores would definitely pursue a music related career. Either joining a local band/orchestra or being part of a choir or playing the church organ, etc. There would be a lot of option. I can imagine that she takes one of the aforementioned jobs, but secretly would rather be out and composing her own music than doing this. Not that she dislikes it per se, but she would want to make something herself.

Camilo would probably still be an actor, but definitely would need a second job to keep himself going. Looking at his skill set and interests, working with children is something he’d really enjoy. It’s already canon. He probably still does a lot of babysitting; people are always going to have children, so he’d always be needed. He is the Mary Poppins of Encanto, if you will.

In question to Abuela marrying them off? I think she still would - more children may equal more gifts. But I don’t think she’d be as set on making it happen right now. I’m sure she’d be convinced to wait a few years before trying to marry Isabela (and later the others) off. Antonio would be the only one she’d want to make a truly spectacular marriage.

Hello! I’m here for an Encanto matchup please! Thank you so much for doing this by the way!

First things first, I’m an adult so I can’t be shipped with any minors, so no Camilo or Mirabel please. I’m also bisexual, so I don’t mind whether you ship me with a man or a woman. And by the way, I also have autism and stim by pacing if that means anything.

Physically I’m a really short adult, I’m only like 5’ tall (152 cm) because I have multiple disabilities, one of which stunted my growth. I have chronic pain basically everywhere but especially in my joints like my hands, hips, back and knees. Just today I’m wearing arthritis gloves, knee braces, compression socks and a scoliosis brace so I kinda look ready to be hospitalized lol. I also faint a lot because of blood pressure issues, and I have asthma and weak bones too. Medically I’m kind of a mess. Anyways, I also have really long wavy (and fluffy) brown hair, glasses and pale skin with lots of moles and freckles. I’m surprisingly muscular but still really slim. My style also switches between masculine and feminine a lot, and I even tend to combine the two. Today I’m wearing a long ankle-length skirt and also a biker’s cut denim jacket on top with a black t-shirt.

I have a bunch of little nervous habits like knocking on wood to prevent jinxes (like Bruno!), biting my lip when I’m nervous, pacing and flapping my hands, making little noises and humming to myself (kinda like Dolores). I’m also learning Greek and Spanish as second languages! I talk with my hands a lot, and I tell crazy stories from my life. I can imagine Mirabel complaining about Isabela and then I’m just like “My siblings used to put me in a trash can and roll me down the stairs” lol. I would also definitely gift Dolores some headphones because I can get pretty loud without really noticing.

I work as a librarian currently, but I’m also learning screenwriting in hopes of actually working at Pixar someday! I write a ton, I have a journal that I’ve kept going for years now, and I’ve picked up a lot of different crafts like sewing and leatherworking.

I’m very polite and extremely friendly, including being really bubbly and excitable. I feel like, maybe aside from the denim jacket, I might be the kind of person even Abuela would like lmao. I shake people’s hands when greeting them and am generally very polite and a little nervous. But it’s easy for me to make people laugh because I have a witty and sarcastic sense of humor, especially combined with my weird life stories. I’m really soft and surprisingly good at giving advice, I’ve often been called “wise beyond my years”. Unfortunately I can be really stubborn and am not quick to forgive, but that’s something I’m trying to work on. I also have a habit of always trying to stay busy and I don’t really know what self care is sometimes, oops.

But yeah, I think that's about it! Sorry if this was too long, I got excited haha. I look forward to seeing who you'll ship me with! Take care of yourself and drink lots of water, bye!

Thank you for requesting!

I match you with...

Pepa!

Even before you two started to date, you would always keep the sun shining and bright when you were around her! Your loudness and energy while talking would match her's, and she would always help massage the areas that were hurting you.

She would talk to you and do fun activities with you while you're nervous to distract you, and would be your No. 1 supporter. She would always stand slightly behind you and would be quick to catch and care for you if you fainted.

She would definitely understand you not being quick to forgive, but would know just how to handle your stubborn moments. She would also help you learn Spanish by having conversations with you in the language to help you become more fluent, and would try to learn Greek with you, the skies becoming more cloudy as she gets frustrated.

She would love your style, and would always adore when you talk with your hand, and would even pick up some of your gestures from being around you and thinking of you so much. Overall, she would absolutely love you!

I hope you enjoyed!

You gotta tell me about your other host ideas! I’m curious to know if they’re descendants of Manu or just other family members with the host family?

Sorry for the delay in responding. It took a while for me to get my thoughts into words.

Would other family members.

Since the auditions for the next host were blind castings, that means there are members of the Host family of all sizes, races, ethnicities, etc, and it's so interesting to think about. A super-powered family of benevolent manchilds scattered across the globe whose mere existence makes the world a better place.

I'll say that I owe everything to this post. It changed my life.

My Headcanon is that in the Hosts family there is a tradition of passing the torch on to various things, among these things is the yellow house, the contact with the viewer and more recently the task of taking care of Blue.

I believe this family works similar to how the Madrigal family of encanto works, they each have a special "gift" based on their interests and talents. Josh with an empathetic voice, Joe with craft manipulation, and Steve with his vision of other dimensions and other relatives would likely follow the same pattern

I still need to think a bit more about the teacher and the clown but these are the ideas I have for the Librarian, the reporter and the vet so far:

The librarian is your friendly neighborhood goth who may or may not be a witch. I'm a little torn between making them a host and making her a neighbor with a pet that goes to blue school.

Their clothes are Black + dark pink and the animal that represents them are bats 🩷🖤

They are similar to Steve in demeanor, a calm-voiced dork who is prone to daydreaming.

Their special power as a host is always knowing which object will be useful for a specific situation which is good when you're a librarian/bookseller, because you will always know which book is good for a person before they even know.

Like Josh their Handy-Dandy notebook also has a phone but for some reason it's round

Their favorite holiday is Halloween, for obvious reasons.

Their main focus as a host would be teaching the viewer how many things that seem scary aren't.

The reporter is a determined woman who can appear a little intimidating from a distance but is quite kind and goofy when you get up close.

Her main color would be orange and I'm still not sure what animal would represent her. 🧡

Her Handy-Dandy notebook is also half camera and somehow it has an internet connection.

Steve is partially why she wants to be a reporter sometimes they work together to solve mysteries (the real mystery is how they are still alive).

In addition to the camera, she also has a sound recorder, she doesn't like cell phones.

She's the type to be initially quiet, but the second you start a conversation she becomes a motor mouth. She is super excited about the things she likes.

The veterinarian is the archetype of the Disney princess, delicate and adventurous, she starts singing when she's excited, and she attracts animals when she sings.

Even if she doesn't say it, Shovel and Pail are her favorites because they have similar interests.

Her favorite color is cyan. And her stuffed animal is a lovebird. 🩵

Her special host power is controlling the speed of processes. She mainly uses it to make wounds heal faster.

She's already spent three hours on a gopher hunt, she doesn't like to talk about that day.

Think of Giselle from Enchanted as a Blue Clues host and you have her.
