Alma Madrigal is the one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Bruno ) of Disney's 60th animated feature film Encanto . A woman who was blessed with a gift-granting magic candle, Abuela is the matriarch of the Madrigals, the mother of Julieta, Pepa and Bruno and the grandmother of Isabela, Dolores, Luisa, Camilo, Mirabel and Antonio. As the original source of its magic, Abuela also serves as the head of the village in which she and her family resides.
