[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grandmother didn’t have any powers, did she?

She did not. My wife thinks, and I agree, that the reason Mirabel didn’t get a gift is because Mirabel is going to be like Abuela, and is the next generation of leader for the family, the one who “runs the show”. The same way Abuela led them to safety, Mirabel led them to their new home (emotional safety).

I think that the magic door “reads” the person’s personality and decides what the gift is going to be (that’s why the door is all squiggly and undefined before they touch it).  When Mirabel touched the door knob it “read” her and saw that she was going to be the new leader and so didn’t give her a gift. Her gift, which was already inside her,  was the ability to lead the family. [/quote]

Love this read, makes perfect sense![/quote]

I was thinking something similar, like the house/family needed her to not have an all-consuming gift so that she would be the one who "sees" ("mira" in Spanish) what needs to be done to keep the family and village from fracturing, ultimately bringing them closer together.[/quote]

Her gift seemed to be that the house heard or listened to her more than other family members.  Also some of the other gifts weren’t really that useful- the flower thing is pretty but not particularly practical and shape shifting is really useful in X-Men but goes to waste in this small village.  But I digress.[/quote]

Agree that her gift in many ways was the casita. Being in tune with it in a way none of the others were. I disagree on Isabella's gift though. When she grows and her powers with it she becomes someone who can grow ANYTHING. And I imagine a small village would greatly benefit from a person who can make any valuable or food bearing or protective plant spring from the ground instantaneously.[/quote]
