Julieta Madrigal

Julieta is warm and nurturing. As the town doctor, she uses her magical powers to heal others through food. Julieta, one of Alma's triplets, was blessed with the power to heal. Radiating warmth and kindness, she wields no magic wand, however her magic is found in the food she lovingly prepares for all who need it.

Since she was always willing to help her mother Alma take care of her family since she was just a child, because her father had died after she was born, Julieta is a maternal, nurturing, and calm woman. She always prioritizes the welfare and needs of her family over her own. Julieta has a great deal of love for her family and she does her best to take care of them when they need it. But Julieta not only cares just about her family but the town as well. She enjoys helping the townspeople with her gift and making people smile with her food. Of all The Madrigals, Julieta seems to have the fewest issues with her gift. She gives the appearance of having it the most together and she’s a good caretaker for the town, as she does her job with warmth and professionalism that is also very befitting of her station. Despite that, there are also days when Julieta can get tired of constantly cooking every day, but she is ready to help when someone needs it.

Julieta is also a person with a naturally strong and determined character.[11] Although Alma keeps a tight grip on her to be perfect, she is not afraid to disobey her when she demands too much of both her and their family. While she respects her mother as the matriarch of the family, Julieta never seeks perfection like her and dislikes Alma's controlling nature.

Julieta is a 17-year-old[12] girl with tan skin and brown eyes that droop slightly downwards. Her hair is curly dark brown hair with silver and white highlights swooped up into a messy updo, with a bun. She is notably one of the family members who most closely resembles her parents. Julieta inherited much of her mother's physical appearance and her late father's facial expressions. Julieta wears a long-sleeved baby blue shirt with a tiffany blue long skirt and a cooking apron the same color, light brown flat shoes, and golden pearl earrings. Her apron is tied with a green ribbon, and its pockets have various herbs and plants inside them. The apron also has some stitched patterns: plants and, on the pockets, hands holding plants, mortar and pestle, representing her power of healing through her recipes. She doesn't wear her apron on special occasions, like Antonio's gift ceremony or Isabela's proposal dinner. Julieta's shirt and skirt have stitched patterns as well: plants, leaves, and flowers.

Julieta can heal people with her cooking; when a hurt or sick person eats food cooked by her, they are healed instantly. She was able to heal Mirabel's wounded hand with an arepa con queso. Other injuries that she has healed are a black eye, a fractured forearm, and her husband's bee stings. However, it is unknown to what extent her cooking can heal, if her cooking is specifically required to heal, or if she can only heal with food.

Julieta is knowledgeable about medicinal herbs and oils, and regularly uses them in her cooking.
