Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
The "length" is just an excuse. The Zootopia character pages is similar in size to Encanto in terms of number of characters but it remains a single character page. Breaking into sub-pages was not absolutely necessary.


Character sheet for ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}''. By virtue of length, said sheet is split into the following subpages.

[[folder:Antonio’s Animal Friends]]
!!Antonio’s Animal Friends

A variety of jungle animals who become Antonio’s entourage once he receives his magic gift, the most prominent of which are a toucan (Pico), a jaguar (Parce), and a capybara (Chispi), in addition to tapirs, hummingbirds, parrots and coatimundi.
----

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Parce behaves like a large, spotted dog more than a wild feline.
* AllThereInTheScript: They are never referred to by name in the film. Extra literary sources reveal that the jaguar is Parce, the Capybara is Chispi, and the lead Toucan is Pico.
* AmbiguousGender: Their gender isn’t specified or relevant to their characterization. Chispi is female and a mother, Pico and Parce are male.
* CoolPet: To Antonio, as they are a sizeable number of exotic animals. They include capybaras, toucans, a jaguar, tapirs, and coatimundis.
* CuddleBug: Parce in particular loves to nuzzle and cuddle people. We even see him affectionately snuggle up to Agustín.
* DeathGlare: Pico the toucan gives Mirabel an annoyed glare when she accidentally causes some brittle ground in Bruno’s room to collapse.
* DisneyCreaturesOfTheFarce: Reconstructed. Their arrival is cause for huge celebration since Antonio has received a gift, but they do run into some issues the next morning at breakfast by baffling Alma by warming up her seat. They also contribute to the debacle during the proposal dinner.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The three named animals form one with Antonio. True to form, the symbolism of each species embodies the attributes of their temperament. Pico (sanguine), friendly, gregarious, cheeky, and chipper. Parce (choleric), bold, adventurous, confident, and impulsive. Chispi (melancholic), quiet, calm, dignified, introverted but incredibly empathetic. Antonio (phlegmatic) the quiet, friendly, shy leader.
* IronicName: Chispi comes from chispita (sparkle), in reality the capybara is the stoic of Antonio’s entourage.
* LovableCoward: Pico flees Bruno’s tower when things become spooky but doesn’t lose any sympathy points. Lampshaded by Mirabel.
* MeaningfulName: "Parce" means "bro" in Colombian slang. Doubly significant since that’s how Félix refers to Bruno. "Pico" means "beak" which Toucans have in spades.
* NiceGuy: They are all very friendly and docile. Chispi even joins the vision for moral support.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: They are all very friendly, Pico loves to perch on the arms of others, and Parce and the coatimundi are quick to climb on humans, though this can make them feel uncomfortable, especially Alma.
* PantheraAwesome: Parce is an unbelievably cool mount and sidekick.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: They are all very cute, but the tapirs and baby capybaras look especially cuddly.
* StickyFingers: The Coatimundi steal Agustín’s pocket watch and, later, the vision shards. TruthInTelevision, since coatis do pilfer food and whatever catches their interest.
* TheStoic: Chispi never loses her composure or dignity.
* TeamMom: Chispi who is an actual mother and the most mature of Antonio’s entourage. She often lets smaller animals rest on her. TruthInTelevision, given Capybaras are highly sociable animals and enjoying caring for their own as well as members of other species.

[[folder:Bruno’s Rats]]
!!Bruno’s Rats
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/very_hygienic.png]]

A nest of rats who live in the walls of the house and keep Bruno company.
----
* AmbiguousGender: They appear to play both male and female roles in Bruno’s theater.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Unlike Antonio’s friends who communicate through a magic gift, Bruno tamed the rats on his own. It’s implied they informed Bruno that Mirabel wrecked his vision tower, he sends them to collect the vision shards, and one even takes a group picture of the Madrigal family.
* BigEater: According to Bruno they are always hungry and never satisfied.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: They provide Bruno with companionship and entertainment during his decade of solitude.
* NiceMice: They are rats but are indistinguishable from the friendly mice of other Disney films. They are docile, clean, and explain Bruno’s situation to Antonio during Mirabel’s greatest time of need.
* NoNameGiven: Whether any of them have a name is still a mystery.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Bruno. He provides them with food, shelter, and affection. In turn, they find Antonio and explain his situation in such a way that Antonio, who’s never met Bruno and only knows him from the communal taboo, comes to consider Bruno his pal. The rats stick with Bruno even after he becomes homeless.

[[folder:The Faceless Horsemen]]
!!The Faceless Horsemen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_bandits.png]]
The mysterious armed men who sacked Pedro’s and Alma’s hometown and drove them into exile. Their murder of Pedro set the plot of ''Encanto'' in motion.
----
* AllegoricalCharacter: In general, they can be considered a representation of the several civil conflicts that plagued Colombia's History in the 19th and 20th century, such as the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Days%27_War Thousand Days' War]] and [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Violencia La Violencia]], that killed thousands of civilians and were the main source of forced displacement in the country.
* DarkIsEvil: In contrast to the warm light which always illuminates Alma and Pedro, the Horsemen are always shrouded in uniform darkness to reflect their status as genuinely cruel and ruthless humans. The screenplay explicitly calls them evil.
* TheDreaded: Pedro knows as soon as he sees them that he must flee town immediately with his wife and children, as do many others. When the exiles realize the horsemen are in pursuit, they run in terror.
* TheFaceless: We never get a good look at their faces cementing their status as terrifying beings.
* FourIsDeath: Four horsemen who bring death and destruction.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Who they were or why they were riding around killing people is never even hinted at. As far as the movie is concerned, they only existed to give Alma and the other refugees a reason to be on the run before the miracle gave them the Encanto.
* LackOfEmpathy: They ransack and kill without compunction or remorse for any victim. Even Pedro's attempt to reason with them and plea for the lives of everyone does not deter them one bit.
* MacheteMayhem: When they charge toward Pedro, one of the horsemen draws a machete and it is implied that he uses it to cut Pedro down.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Pedro is completely defenseless when he confronts the men on horseback. They hear his plea for mercy and ignore it. One draws a machete with a cut to Alma's anguished reaction as he is killed off-screen.
* NearVillainVictory: The horsemen successfully raid the town and set its center on fire. Pedro, Alma, their children, and other survivors manage to escape the town on foot, but the horsemen quickly catch up to them and send them running in a panic. Pedro is struck down and the horsemen close in on Alma and the infant triplets. Had it not been for the intervention of the candle and the birth of the miracle, she and the triplets would have been next. The candle blasts the horsemen away and protects all the refugees with mountains to prevent them from crossing. It’s no wonder Alma calls this a miracle.
* NoNameGiven: Neither the film or the screenplay gives them anything resembling a name. Even their given title on this page arises purely for descriptive convenience.
* NothingIsScarier: We know nothing about who they are or where they come from. Only that they are a group of evil humans that burned down Pedro and Alma's hometown and would've likely killed off everyone if they could.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Only appear briefly but were it not for their evil there would be no Encanto, and Pedro, Alma, and their children would have lived a quiet, peaceful life.
* UncertainDoom: The last we see of them is being blown away by the formation of the mountains as the miracle appeared. While it is not clear if they were injured or killed by it, or simply driven away, their survival has no bearing on the plot.
* TheVoiceless: None of them have a speaking line, which only serves to highlight their terror.
* WouldHurtAChild: Pedro attempts to confront the faceless horsemen because he knows [[WouldHitAGirl his wife]] and children won’t be safe if they continue their pursuit.
