The Coatis

The coatis appear as sleek, glowing creatures with sharp movements, acting as silent intermediaries of truth in the Madrigal household. They move with purpose, extracting prophetic vision shards from pockets and placing them before the family, exposing unspoken fears and secrets. Their actions escalate tensions rather than soothe them, forcing confrontations between characters like Mirabel and Dolores. Unlike the controlled matriarchs or volatile Pepa, the coatis operate outside emotional bounds, delivering visions without regard for consequence, becoming catalysts for the magic’s collapse.
