Encanto: Why Mirabel Doesn’t Get Powers – Every Theory Explained

In Encanto, Mirabel is the only Madrigal child who doesn’t get powers, and several fan theories guess the actual reason why. In Disney’s Encanto, Alma Madrigal (María Cecilia Botero) receives a magical gift after her husband Pedro sacrifices himself to save her and his village from intruders. The sacrifice manifests into an enchanted candle, a magical house, and the family members getting special powers to help the community. However, Mirabel Madrigal (Stephanie Beatriz), one of Alma’s grandchildren, doesn’t get a gift, which causes a strain in the pair’s relationship. Of course, it’s Mirabel’s lack of gifts that drives her to help her family in the end.
