= Brumilo = 

Brumilo is the family ship between Camilo Madrigal and Bruno Madrigal.

Canon
Bruno and Camilo are uncle and nephew through Bruno's sister and Camilo's mother, Pepa Madrigal.

Despite not having seen his tio Bruno since he was a small child, Camilo doesn't seem to have a high opinion of him. When he hears his parents sing about how they don't talk about Bruno, Camilo joins them. He characterizes Bruno as something of a cryptid; seven feet tall, rats riding on his back, capable of killing people by just saying their name, capable of seeing their dreams and feasting on their screams. During his part of the song, Camilo uses his power to turn into Bruno, depicting him as ghoulish version of himself with glowing green eyes.

He turns into Bruno again after hearing his sister whisper about Bruno's prophecy about his cousin Mirabel at the dinner table. Due to the shock of the news and combined with the thought of his tio was what caused Camilo to take his form.

By the end of the movie, Camilo sees Bruno for the first time in years, saying that the family needs to talk about him to which Bruno agrees, which is the closest thing they had to one-on-one interaction in the movie. With Antonio needing to point out that the harmless-looking man is in fact Bruno, Camilo seems mildly disappointed. When Camilo's sister Dolores bluntly tells him that she knew that Bruno never left, Camilo looks genuinely confused.

Moments

 * Bruno sees that the dying miracle has affected Camilo's shapeshifting ability, and knew that they were running out of time to save it.

Fanon
People have connected that Camilo's depiction of Bruno isn't very far from the truth, as the movie does depict him using his powers as his eyes glowing a bright green. This led to theories that Bruno can't turn off his future vision, which in turn led to people thinking that something happened between Bruno and Camilo that made the latter scared of his own uncle. Those are usually very lighthearted, with Camilo catching his uncle in the house after he supposedly left, with him minding his own business raiding the fridge, only accidently to look at his nephew with glowing green eyes. This naturally scared Camilo for life, with Bruno often needing to flee the scene immediately to not get caught by one of the other Madrigals.

Like with Mirabel, some people like to draw or write about Bruno spending time with Camilo as a child, before he left. The fanworks commonly have Bruno as a fun uncle to his nephew and nice.

There's also the "Papa Bruno" AU, where one of the Madrigal grandkids, most commonly Mirabel and/or Camilo is Bruno's biological child instead of being his sisters' children. Though most people depict it as a full-on alternate timeline rather than being canon-compliant, even if Bruno had a wife to call their mother. Some work around this issue by saying that Bruno had gone into hiding before either could remember him, thus having Pepa and/or Julieta raise them as their own in his absence. People gravitate towards Camilo and Mirabel to be Bruno's children since all three of them have similar haircuts, a trait none of the other family members seem to share.

= Isariano = 

Isariano is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Mariano Guzmán

Canon
Isabela's beauty as the prefer golden child of her family caught the eye of Mariano Guzmán.

Fanon
Isariano is mostly seen as a crack ship even though Mariano was shown to have feelings for Isabela, who didn't feel the same way about him and was more than happy when he started to go out with Dolores. That is why there is very little support on this ship from people prefering to have them as friends or future in-laws.

= IsaBubo = 

IsaBubo is the het ship between Isabela Madrigal and Bubo Márquez

Canon
One of the deleted scenes from an earlier version of Encanto revealed that Isabela was originally set to be in a relationship with someone called, Bubo Márquez. Who allows Isa to be her true self rather than the perfect woman that she was forced to be. Knowing that her grandmother wouldn't approve of Bubo or their love for each other, the two were forced to keep their relationship a secret.

Fanon
Because Bubo Márquez was cut from the finished film not many people know that he or the relationship he was originally set to have with Isabela in an earlier version exists. That is why it has a very small number of fanworks and supporters, along with the fact Bubo is a dislike character. Even though there is a very small group are hoping that Disney would find ways to bring Bubo back in future Encanto projects. Since the TV series of Tangled has characters that were part of an earlier version of the 2010 film. Giving some people hope, even if they don't have him and Isa as lovers, friends or simply acquaintance would be enough.

= MiraAlma = 

MiraAlma is the family ship between Mirabel Madrigal and Alma Madrigal.

Canon
Alma was shown to be close with Mirabel when she was a child and was existed to see what her gift might be, just as Mirabel couldn't wait to have a magic power of her own and use it to help the community like the rest of their. On the night of the gift ceremony Alma shows Mirabel the candle that is the vessel of the miracle that has blessed their family years ago and then tells her youngest granddaughter how they received it.

Even though Alma kept telling Mirabel to stay out of the way and to not do anything that would end up harming the Madrigal's perfect image.

Fanon

Of Alma treating Mirabel as an outcast for lacking a gift and how it keeps her youngest granddaughter from reaching her perfect standers.

There has been an AU that has Mirabel as the female incarnation of Alma's late husband, Pedro.

= Palma = 

Palma is the het ship between Alma Madrigal and Pedro Madrigal

Canon
Back when Alma Madrigal was a young woman who was filled with joy and hope as she attends the Day of the Little Candles, she meets a handsome man named Pedro. Like Pedro, Alma wanted to see over the crowd of people and found herself a higher vintage point, giving both Alma and Pedro a clear view of each other. Once Pedro saw Alma he waves to her and chuckles when her waving back nearly got her to fall. The two then spent the rest of the nightly celebration getting to know one another.

Some point after their meeting as the two fall in love with each other, Pedro and Alma got married and started to build a life together. They kept their wedding candle and placed it next to their wedding photo in the home they share. As well as it being the place where Alma tells Pedro that she is pregnant with triplets. At Pedro appeared to be shocked and fainted, but he was only fooling around and was happy that he and Alma were going to be parents. During the lead up to the birth of their children, the two prepared their house for their arrival. After Julieta, Pepa and Bruno were just born, however, the new parents watch a group of men attack their home village at the start of the Thousand Days' War. Forcing Alma and Pedro to leave the place they have called home with their children.

Pedro and Alma allowed other refugees to come with them in hopes that they'll be able to find a new place to call home. Once they reached the river to cross the valley, however, the conquerors had found them. To ensure that Alma and the other village manage to escape, Pedro decided to sacrifice himself by throwing himself to the soldiers. He placed their wedding candle in Alma's hands after he said his goodbyes to his family. Alma watches Pedro approach the men unarmed and not posing a threat to them as one of the soldiers struck him with his sword. Witnessing her husband's death shakes Alma to her very core and she uncontrollably starts sobbing for him while the conquerors continue to make their way towards the her and the rest of the villagers. The candle Pedro had given Alma ended up becoming the vessel for the miracle she prayed for. Saving Alma and the other civilians as the magic blasted the soldiers away and then raised the mountains that now surround their Encanto.

Even though they now have a new home that everyone can live peacefully in, Alma was deeply affected by Pedro's death and the fact that she had lost everything in a short amount of time, caused the hope and joy in her to die. Now as a widow of three fatherless children, as well as her being the unspoken leader of the refugees, Alma didn't give herself time to mourn or work through her pain. Her husband's death also caused Alma to develop a fear of loss and she works hard to ensure that she doesn't lose the miracle, her family or their home again. Which got her to force her children and grandchildren to be perfect and that they keep the miracle burning, as they use their magic gifts from it to help the town they build together.

Alma ensured that her family knew of Pedro and doesn't go into full detail when telling the story of how his passing led to them being granted the miracle. The only time Alma allows her to show vulnerability and weakness is when she is praying to Pedro. Fearing that they were about to lose their home again and asking Pedro to open her eyes, as well as to help her save the miracle. She soon realized that Pedro had answered her prayers by sending Mirabel, who helps Alma to finally find peace from his death and move on with her life. To truly honor his sacrifice is for her to cherish the family he helped her to start and still has.

Bruno is Alma and Pedro's only son, who looks a bit like his father.

Fanon
Even though Alma is one of the less-liked Disney characters from how she treated Mirabel, the tragedy from the loss of her husband does have some people feeling sorry for her, if not most. Once the audience saw how much she loved Pedro and how his death had affected her, while trying to soldier on as a widow mother and the head of the family that their home town looked up to. It may not be as popular as the three other main canon ships from the 2021 film, that it has been featured besides in a few Tumblr posts, Palma still has a few loyal supporters. Some of them are part of the group who enjoy origin or tragic love stories that brings them to tears. Along with creating AUs that don't have Pedro die, have the two swap places or has his spirit watching over his wife and family.

People like to think of "Dos Oruguitas" as Palma's song, from how it was playing during the flashback scene of their love story. The melody of the song being combined with the lead up to the tragic scene has brought a few people to tears. That is why most fanworks on the ship commonly makes references to Dos Oruguitas.

Some do understand why Alma had tried to have Isabela and Mariano Guzmán live the full life she never got to have with Pedro. With Isa resembling Alma's younger self and Mariano possessing few Pedro-like traits, like his talent for poetry and being the splitting image of Pedro. Which is why Isabela was seen as her favourite grandchild and and was more than happy to learn that Mariano fancies her. Making people think that apart of Alma was still living in the past or was using the two as a means to find some kind of peace from Pedro's death and the life they originally planned together, while not considering what they want. That is why Doloriano fans were happy when Alma found peace another way and allowed Isabela to break off the engagement.

On AO3, it is the most written het ship for Pedro. Like on Tumblr, some AO3 fanfics have Palma be featured beside Julistín and Félipa in the same story.
