* AdultFear:
** Bruno's meekness made him a prime target for Mietta's abusive tendencies, since he wouldn't retaliate. He's a bit relieved by her DeathByChildbirth, since it prevented her from mistreating their daughter.
** Even when he has to juggle poverty and a newborn, Bruno refuses to go back to Encanto because he believes his family will hate Mirabel for being his daughter, or will steal her away because they consider him unfit for fatherhood.
** Bruno and Mirabel's house being destroyed in a fire, leaving them utterly deprived and in the streets. And it's not the worst outcome -- as Mirabel briefly panicked over the possibility of her father ''burning alive'' until she found him alive and safe.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Back at his home village, Bruno was feared and disliked because his gift made him out to be a HarbingerOfImpendingDoom. After moving away, the village he settled down in came to look to him with less vitriol, Bruno being able to make an honest living as a fortune-teller and patron in his own Botanica, his daughter living a relatively normal life. He was even invited to a wedding for a couple who's marriage was confirmed to be a success from one of his visions.

Added DiffLines:

* GrewASpine: When Alma accuses Bruno of being selfish for running away and using his gifts for personal gain, it doesn't go unnoticed when the normally meek Bruno argues right back at her. That is, everyone ''but'' Alma notices, his mother too livid to really notice.

None

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Alma believes that her family's magical gifts are a divine blessing that must only be used altruistically, so when she finds out that Bruno was using his gift [[OnlyInItForTheMoney to make a living]], she is absolutely livid.

** For Bruno, while his canon-counterpart lived alone (except for ''rats'') within the walls of the Casita, unable to interact with a family he believed hated him in a village who dreaded his gift, here he managed to leave and develop a less toxic social life amongst villagers who don't see him as a villain. He was even able to meet a girl who gave him a daughter that loves him. It is [[ZigZaggedTrope zigzagged]] to a degree as said wife had an unpredictable temper that made her abusive, and he struggled to raise his daughter as a single parent when she was an infant because of their poor economic conditions. Their home is also later destroyed by a fire.

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: The instigating factor that leads Bruno and Mirabel back to the Encanto is when he has a vision of Casita Madrigal collapsing, the vision causing him to knock over a candle and [[HouseFire burn their home down]].



* FortuneTeller: Bruno uses the trappings of one (crystal balls and tarot cards) because his clients won't seriously take him otherwise.

Added DiffLines:

* DeathByChildbirth: Mietta bleeds to death right as she's in labour, and dies without even gazing at her child's face. Bruno isn't too broken about it, mainly because he feared his wife would abuse Mirabel just like she abused him.


Added DiffLines:

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Just like Pedro gave his life to protect his wife and children's lives, Bruno is ready to sacrifice his morals to ensure his daughter will grow up healthy and happy.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Bruno struggled a lot to bond with his newborn daughter, outright wondering if it wouldn't be best for him to abandon her. He later decided to keep her and did anything he could to see her safe, happy and healthy.

* StrugglingSingleFather: Bruno was so desperate for money after Mirabel's birth he became a FortuneTeller in order for people to ''pay'' for glimpses of the future, and he's still hinted to not win a lot of money. Still, he and Mirabel are comfortable enough.

* DomesticAbuse: While Bruno loved his wife Mietta, his meekness mixed with their hard economic conditions left him to suffer whenever her temper went off, so much so that a part of him was glad that she [[DeathByChildbirth died giving birth to Mirabel]] out of fear that [[AbusiveParents she would raise her fist at her too]].

Added DiffLines:

* RichesToRags: It's implied that Bruno's FortuneTeller job can just barely keep him and Mirabel afloat, a far-cry from Familia Madrigal's arguably modest affluence. With that said, they seem comfortable enough with what little they have, Bruno managing to get her a high-quality education through sheer luck.

He was even able to meet a girl who gave him a daughter that loves him.
** For Mirabel, she doesn't know about her family legacy and thus doesn't have the lingering feelings of doubt and inadequacy that they bring. She even has a circle of friends her own age, something that was absent in canon.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Back at his home village, Bruno was feared and disliked because his gift made him out to be a HarbingerOfImpendingDoom. After moving away, the village he settled down in came to look to him with less vitriol, Bruno being able to make an honest living as a fortune-teller and patron in his own Botanica, his daughter living a relatively normal life.
