Leave Me Reckless
Julieta and Agustín realize just how much of an influence their eldest hija has on their youngest.
Isabela calls it bravery. Julieta and Agustín call it terrifying
Isabela's daredevil tendencies started at a pretty young age. But it was when her parents realized just how much of an influence she had on her youngest sister, little Mirabel, that it became a cause for concern.
Julieta and Agustín Madrigal had three daughter's. And out of the three, there was only one who was docile and timid. Their lovely middle child, Luisa. Always willing to help, never getting herself into mischief. Unlike Isabela and Mirabel, the first being all spunk and sass, she always had to be the first for, well, everything. Isabela was a kind of rebellious daredevil type. She often weighed the pros and cons of consequences before putting her plans into effect.
But Mirabel, oh Mirabel, she was a case they absolutely weren't expecting. As kind, if not kinder than her older sister Luisa, Mirabel was a sweet child, always willing to help at any chance she could. The little girl would give an arm and a leg if it meant someone else was happy.
But she also had a terrifyingly reckless daredevil streak in her. While Isabela often weighed the consequences of her actions in her head before she saw them through, Mirabel was a "jump headfirst, look later (or never)" kind of daredevil. She was afraid of absolutely nothing. It was terrifying.
She'd been banned from Bruno's room after terrifying him on the edge of the cliff in his tower. She was three years old, peering over the edge, looking down into a pitch-black, empty, void, when she toppled over the cliff. Bruno, terrified, caught her tiny hand just in time, and pulled her up.
He was shocked to see the toddler giggling with delight. "Again! Again! Do it again!"
Bruno sat there, mouth agape, panting, before scooping the girl up and marching her down the stairs to his tower, to the kitchen, where he was sure her parents would be.
Mirabel pouted.
"Aw, man."
