Both Encanto and its soundtrack continue to live rent free in the minds of everyone worldwide, proving that the film has already become a timeless Disney classic before our very eyes.
So given that you've memorized the film by now, I don't even need to tell you who Mirabel is. Here she is waving at you, in case you needed a reminder anyway.
One thing you may not already know (but probably do know) is that Mirabel is actually 15 years old in the film, as revealed by director Jared Bush back in December.
1/3 - Okay, #Encanto friends, now for the kids: Isabela (21) first grandchild, hence golden child pressure, Dolores (21) couple months younger, in Isa’s shadow hence quieter and Mariano issues, Luisa (19) next, strong middle child and feels need to please… cont’d… https://t.co/1fDi6p02RG
They even considered giving Mirabel a quinceañera in the film, but ultimately scrapped the idea.
@natissss For sure we discussed quinces for the Madrigal girls. There was even a thought at one point that we’d see Mirabel’s quince in the film. So I’d say likely yes, but open to interpretation.
So while her age was no secret, her actual birthday was a mystery...until now. Much to the delight of every Encanto stan out there, Jared just tweeted out that Mirabel's actual birth date is March 6, revealing to the world that she's in fact a Pisces.
It’s officially Mirabel’s birthday month, so I can finally reveal big news that Dolores has known all along… Mirabel’s birthday is March 6th. 🎂🕯✨ #Encanto
Yes, our girl is apparently turning 16 in just a few days! Not that Disney characters ever really age though, but this is all in good fun.
Now, I know literally nothing about astrology, but according to the folks at Astrology.com, Pisces individuals are "idealistic and imaginative" and have "tender, sympathetic, and receptive natures." They also "offer spiritual and artistic gifts to the world" and are "vulnerable to absorbing toxic energies." I'm looking at you, Abuela.
They also "find purpose in exploring the unknown, by being of service, and in unique creative expression." Which explains why she was out here risking her life in Bruno's sand cave for a magical single-wick Yankee candle.
This is critical info devoted fans have been asking Jared about for quite some time now.
@iHrtDolores Oh, but I haven’t.
So needless to say, they were delighted with this announcement — especially the ones who share a birthday or sign with her.
HOLYY SHITIIITTT WE SHARE A BIRTHDASY https://t.co/8bFwaSHqpI

March 6th is Mirabel Madrigal’s birthday. It’s also the great Colombian author and master of Magical Realism Gabriel García Márquez’s birthday. Coincidence? 💛💙❤️🇨🇴 @EncantoMovie @thejaredbush @ByronPHoward @ChariseCastroS1 #Encanto https://t.co/M3gLZLNmSy
Others made their best educated guesses or simply just manifested signs onto characters.

@thejaredbush MAKE ANTONIO’S BIRTHDAY IN EARLY AUGUST OR LATE JULY SO HE CAN BE A LEO PLSSS 🙏🏼
And according to Jared, we'll soon get to see if their wishes came true or not.
@succamilo I wouldn’t do that to you.
So while you all stay tuned for future breaking Encanto astrological sign news, we hope Mirabel has the sweetest of sweet sixteens. Happy early birthday! 🥳
