Félipa

Félipa is the het ship between Pepa Madrigal and Félix Madrigal from the Encanto fandom.

Canon
Official backstory for the characters states that both Félix's and Agustín's birth families live in the Encanto that Pepa's mother Alma created with the miracle. Abuela Alma was very happy with Pepa choosing Félix as her son-in-law, in contrast, she had to warm up to Agustín.

Félix has away to help Pepa calm down when her negative emotions create a cloud or any kind of bad weather. With Alma getting on at Pepa for creating a cloud, it felt nice to have someone who is able to help her chase them away through love and kindness. The two of them are an outwardly affectionate couple, often showing their romance onscreen via flirtatious comments or touches. Félix is easily able to calm Pepa down from being annoyed with him during "We Don't Talk About Bruno," by giving her a honeyed apology and pulling her into a dance. Additionally, some have noticed that Pepa doesn't "make a cloud" when she's annoyed with him, even though she does that with everyone else. This seems to hint that she could never truly be angry with her husband.

On the day of their wedding Pepa wanted the weather to be perfect for it, but ended up create a hurricane when her brother, Bruno said "it looks like rain." Most men would have called the wedding off and cut ties with Pepa, but Félix's love for Pepa was strong and was prepared to face any kind of weather with her. He saw that day as joyous, while Pepa was upset for starting the hurricane on their special day. Resulting in her resenting Bruno and doesn't want Félix or anyone else talking about him after he left.

Despite Pepa's weather-based powers being an inconvenience for her and many others, Félix does not appear to be bothered by it. Sometimes he may shoo away a cloud to prevent Antonio from getting wet, or warn her against destroying a flower display with tornados, but he doesn't shame her for her Gift or tell her to keep it under control, like Alma often does. In fact, he is of the opinion that Pepa should embrace her emotions and be open about them. When Bruno tells Pepa to "let it go" at the end of the film, Félix happily agrees, declaring that this is what he's always saying. Later, Félix and Pepa dance together under a cloud of hail that she created.

The two of them also appear to be invested in their relationships with their kids. Their interactions with them in the movie are limited, but positive. Both of them appear to support, encourage and cheer on their youngest son Antonio during his Gift Ceremony. During various parts of the movie, they have short interactions with the other two, such as Camilo helping his mother calm down or getting gently scolded by his father, or how Dolores is often seen accompanying Félix.

Children
Dolores Madrigal: the eldest child and only daughter of Pepa and Félix. She has the Gift of super-hearing.

Camilo Madrigal: the middle child and older son of Pepa and Félix. He has the Gift of shapeshifting.

Antonio Madrigal: the youngest child of Pepa and Félix. He has the Gift of communicating with animals, which he receives in the movie.

Fanon
Félipa is the second most popular ship for the movie on AO3, reports state that it was more popular than Julistín at one point. Due to the fact that both couples are happily married, there's no animosity between the two ships.

Fans adore Pepa and Félix, even though they're fairly minor characters in comparison to Julieta's side of the family. A few people have compared them to a "brighter variant" of Gomez and Morticia Addams, as both Gomez and Félix are short and stout gentlemen who are completely in love with their tall and beautiful wives.

As fans have been enamored with their dynamic since the movie came out, many of them like to explore their relationship further in fan works. The history of the couple before the film is relatively unknown, so a lot of fans like to share ideas about various milestones in their relationship, including, dating, marriage and having children. Popular headcanon states that Félix may have been awed by Pepa's powers where others were intimidated. After they get together, many fans think that Pepa would have been worried about driving him off with a storm, only for him to continuously prove that he was sticking around for her. It's also popularly believed that Pepa, due to being very outgoing and emotional, would have had several dramatic breakups with other men before she finally ends up with Félix. Some think that other men may have tried to get with Pepa for easy access to the Madrigals' powers, while Félix was the first to truly love her for who she is. Thus, she may have been cautious around him at first until he proved his sincerity.

Fans also like to explore their relationship after their marriage, from their days as newlyweds to during and after the film's timelines. Their dynamic is often portrayed as being just as romantic and affectionate as in the film. Popular topic include anniversaries, birthdays, and the pregnancies/births of their three children. Félix is usually the one taking initiative, setting up romantic scenarios with Pepa to show his love for her. Pepa would have most likely been emotional while having children, leading to extreme shifts in the weather (especially for Antonio since Pepa was older than average when having him), and once again Félix will be there as her rock. While he's often portrayed to be anxious when the kids are born, he quickly proves himself to be a fun, loving and supportive father.

Since they don't interact with their kids very much in the film, fans also like to explore this subject. Often, these works portray them as loving, (albeit somewhat overbearing on Pepa's part) parents. Fans like to expand on the film's minimal interactions by showing the parents helping Dolores with her hearing and with living in her cousin's shadow, or helping Camilo with his identity issues. Some other fanfics take more pessimistic routes with the family dynamics, both for the most part it remains positive. Fans enjoy the relatively blank slates that they can add their headcanons to.
