Hello! May I ask if you have any headcanons about Enrique and Luisa Rivera?
I have a few for Enrique. I made a comic of one that you can read here:
I'm not satisfied with the title. If you can think of a better one, please leave it in the comments. This is based on a sad head canon of m
And I've done some one-shot stories featuring Enrique. You can read them here:

I think those should about cover it for Enrique. Well, there is one more: Enrique had a favorite rooster on his paternal grandparents' farm, which he named Panchito, after the Disney character from the Three Caballeros. It disappeared one night, and Enrique's pretty sure coyotes got it. The rooster becomes his alebrije, and in that form, it has characteristics of a duck and a parrot as well.
As for Luisa, I have a few head canons for her. She's younger than Gloria, but closer to her in age than Enrique is to Berto. The girls' mother does not get along with Berto and Enrique's mother. At all. But their father is very popular around the hacienda and is good friends with Franco. According to a tie-in book, Luisa can't carry a tune in a bucket, and I've adopted that idea. But she still enjoys playing the maracas. While Gloria married into the Riveras in part for the shoes, Luisa fell in love with Enrique with no ulterior motives (and she 100% teases her sister about this). She really only met and started getting to know Enrique after Berto and Gloria became engaged. Giving up music was more of a sacrifice for her than it was for Gloria because Luisa associates music with her abuelo, with whom she was very close. Her abuelo was a music teacher (despite her best efforts, she was one of his worst students), and was always a kind and generous man who valued family above all other earthly things. What he never told her, however, was that his love for family was a conscious decision on his part to distinguish himself from his absent biological father, who always denied having offspring (and he had many). His father was Ernesto de la Cruz, and he kept the man's identity a secret for fear his descendants would want to emulate such a selfish, egotistical man who abused women and abandoned family at every opportunity. Miguel does later discover the connection, and Luisa fully understands his struggle with that revelation. She has to come to terms with the idea that her great-grandfather murdered her husband's great-grandfather.
