Do you have any head canons about Lucia, Raul, Margarita and Esteban’s father
ah, not really to be honest. at least, not a whole lot that I haven't really covered in other posts:
Raúl knew the Flores sisters when they were pretty young - since Francisco was a noble, I imagine he probably ran in some of the same circles as the royal family.
the Castillo family was more traditional than the Flores family, and at times could be out of touch with what the people of Avalor actually needed/wanted.
in that vein, Raúl's childhood friendship with the Flores sisters was a massive reality check for him. The girls' parents put effort into involving them in both Francisco's noble life and Luisa's commoner life, so they had a much more balanced perspective on the world than Raúl and would routinely challenge him on his beliefs
when they were kids, Raúl and the Flores sisters made up a kind of "proto-amigos" group along with Alacazar. It wasn't an exact 1-to-1 mapping onto the present-day amigos, but the vibes were there.
Cristóbal's father, Fiero, Margarita's eventual husband, and Alacazar's eventual wife would rotate in and out of the group for different adventures as the years went by
Margarita was the younger sister, but ended up getting married first. Her relationship w/ Esteban's father was a bit of a whirlwind romance and surprised her friends - she had thus far been the quieter, more responsible sibling and didn't really seem the type
Lucía and Raúl, meanwhile, was something everyone saw coming from a mile away

Cha Cha Real Smooth (dir. Cooper Raiff).
Raiff continues to explore themes of young adult immaturity and misplaced romance as a recent undergraduate who (understandably) falls for a troubled young mother, an irresistible Dakota Johnson (also a producer), raising her autistic daughter played by a winsome Vanessa Burghardt who is also neurodivergent in real-life.
