Faye Madrigal

"Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!"

- Faye's catchphrase when she jumps around.

Faye Madrigal is a character in Disney's 2024 animated feature film Encanto 2: A New Generation. She is the youngest child, and only daughter of Mateo and Rosa Madrigal, and sister of Rico. Described as “playful and energetic”, Faye is the youngest member of The Madrigals and is gifted with the power to jump incredibly high and far.

Background
Born into the Madrigal family, Faye is the youngest member of the family. Faye is the only daughter of Mateo and Rosa, and the younger sister of Rico. Faye is also the cousin of Mirabel, Lorenzo, Cali, Marcos, José, Hazel and Paola. Prior to her gift ceremony, she lived in the nursery alone, until she received the gift of being able to jump really high and far, and she moved out of the nursery into her new room.

Official Description

 * "The youngest of the Madrigal family, Faye loves to play with everybody, she really loves bunnies, so her gift to jump really high fits her perfectly!"


 * "Faye is the youngest cousin of José, who loves bunnies and wants to play all day with everybody. Any time you see her, she's very likely to be jumping for joy over seeing you, and will be very quick to wanna start playing with you."

Development
As with the rest of the new Madrigal family, Faye was designed to reflect members from the original Madrigal family, while also appearing as a family member everyone can relate to. As in the final production, the studio created Faye from the start as the youngest of her family in order to show how most of the Madrigals receive their magical gifts. Other elements that did not change during the creation process were her playful and energetic behavior, as well as her magical gift of jumping. For her appearance, she was designed to appear cute and innocent, with her dress having a simple bunny face on it.

Faye's voice actor, Finley Rose Slater, described her character: "Faye is the cutest Madrigal in the family. You can tell she's really sweet and just wants to play with everybody just from her opening moments in the movie. And while it is kinda clear she only wanted her gift to play with, she does promise to use it to help other people too."

Personality
As the youngest member in her family, Faye is very sweet and innocent. She is very energetic and often runs around full of joy, even when she has no proper reason to do such. She is also very excitable, getting giddy at the sound of just about anything she considers good news. She loves playing games with all her family members, and often invites them and other people to play surprise games with her. She mostly enjoys playing with her big brother Rico, but she tries her hardest to give everybody a chance to play with her, even if they don't want to. While she can be viewed as annoying on occasions, her friendly demeanor easily makes up for it. Her favorite animal is bunnies, which she symbolizes by wearing a shirt with a bunny on it. Her gift can also reflect this fact.

Despite her normally cheerful demeanor, whenever her family gets into some sort of trouble, like arguments, she tends to get worried almost instantly, and panics. Her panic attacks usually result in her hiding, or crying out loud until somebody calms her down.

Physical Appearance
Faye is a 5-year-old girl with dark skin, brown hair with pigtails, and green eyes. She wears a short-sleeved green t-shirt with a white bunny on it, somewhat symbolizing her gift, and her love of bunnies. She has a light green skirt and lime green flat shoes. During her gift ceremony, following the tradition, she wears white clothes similar to her normal ones.

Powers and abilities
Faye has the power to jump incredibly high, and across massive distances. Her gift allows her to jump multiple feet in the air, which she often uses to bounce around playfully. She can also use her jumping abilities to jump across long distances. This gift comes from both her playful and friendly behavior, as well as her love of bunnies.
