| “ | ♫Useless, I am what's broken! Don't want your trust and I don't want devotion! Once I would save, now I'm worthless. Worry is wrought on my face, I can't swerve this. You want a me that is long gone, all there is now is a swansong. My breath is failing, now it's just pain and destruction that I am exhaling. So I'll tear it down! Walk and break the ground! Destroy the very thing that watches as I drown! Threw me around, but I rebound, regretting the way that you spoke now. Get ready, I'm coming to tear it down!♫ | „ |
| ~ Luisa |
Luisa Madrigal is a major character from the "Disney Princesses but they're Villains" series of songs by British musical artist Lydia the Bard. She is a villainous adaptation of the character from the 2021 animated Disney film Encanto, serving as the main protagonist of her song and animatic.
She is a member of the Madrigal family who finally cracks under the pressure her family has forced upon her, developing an evil split personality that uses her power of superhuman strength for destruction and chaos. While this evil Luisa ravages the community, the real Luisa who loved her family and never wanted to hurt them can only watch in horror. Her two sides clash, but her dark side is implied to remain the dominant personality.
She was voiced by Lydia the Bard.
Biography[]
This version of Luisa's story begins similarly to how it did in the original Disney version: her family, the Madrigals, were blessed with a magical candle that granted members of the family useful superpowers and abilities, as well as a magical sentient house called Casita.
Under the matriarchal watch of the grandmother Alma, the family used their gifts to serve their community. Luisa developed superhuman strength, allowing her to aid in tasks that required moving extremely heavy and cumbersome objects, such as construction, herding, and moving. Alma additionally kept her upbringing strict and called on her for much of the work needed by the town and the family.
The constant demands and needs of the family and town begin to weigh heavy on Luisa, who fears that her failure would result in the family failing as well. She feels enormous emotional strain and pressure to perform, as well as grows tired of the constant requirement to keep helping people.
Over time, these thoughts and feelings begin to manifest as a darker, more destructive personality. One day, after once again being forced to carry a lot of physical and emotional weight, this darker personality manifests and lashes out at her family. She begins to break Casita and even attempts to destroy the magical candle. She is tempered briefly by her sister Mirabel, but feels jealous towards her for not being cursed with powers like her. She breaks the house, but comes to her senses.
As the family and community come together to rebuild, Luisa sits in silence, contemplating. She notices that some of the people are scared of her now because she is a "savage." When she attempts to help rebuild, once again her violent personality takes over, destroying the family's progress and going on a rampage through town, smashing buildings and scaring away livestock. She makes it to the roof of the church, tearing it off and grinning evilly, but soon stops and begins to contemplate again.
Her two personalities clash, with her good side recalling good memories of childhood and her connections with her family and community. Her darker side recalls the pressure and stress put upon her by them, and eventually the two sides seem to come to a compromise. Mirabel arrives to console Luisa, who seems to have more of her destructive personality left.
Personality[]
This version of Luisa is hardworking and determined, but weighed down emotionally by the constant demands that are put upon her, as well as the stress and fear of being unable to perform. This results in the creation of her darker, more destructive personality that lusts for chaos, attacking and hurting those around her and breaking things with a sadistic smile.
Her good personality still exists within and is horrified by her own actions, and tries to see the positives in being needed and depended on. These personalities would later clash, with the darker side even displaying some humanity and willingness for compromise, though it is implied that it remains the dominant personality.

Trivia[]
- Luisa is one of a few protagonists featured in the "Disney Princesses but they're Villains" series that are not actually royalty or equivalent; the others being Mulan, Mirabel, Dolores, Tinkerbell, Asha, Alice, Isabela and Wendy.
- The story of this version of Luisa does not take place in the same continuity as Lydia the Bard's stories of villainous Mirabel, villainous Dolores, or villainous Isabela.
- According to Lydia, "of all the characters I’ve turned into a villain Luisa was a hard one because she’s just so dang lovely and wonderful and wouldn’t want to hurt a fly! So to me it made sense to give her more of a Jekyll and Hyde story - a more introspective fight between the good and bad within her!!"
