[Encanto] Why doesn’t Maribel have a gift?

My wife and I have watched it twice now, and it seems like no matter what the “lesson” is, Maribel gets kind of shafted.

When someone gets their gift, the house gives them a room of their own. We know this because Maribel has to share a room with Antonio until the house gives him his gift.

Does the house (or the candle, or the “miracle,” whatever it is) deny Maribel a gift in order to test Abuela? To teach her to love the person and not the gift? If so, Abuela fails, but then learns her lesson. The house is rebuilt, all the powers are restored, but Maribel still has nothing. 

Just seems like Maribel knew the lesson all along and has to suffer so other people can learn it.

Who else in the family doesn't have a personal gift? Abuela. 

Mirabel is the only one in the family that really talks to the house in a regular basis. She's the first to notice when things go wrong and the only one willing to fight against the pressure to just be quiet about it. She is the one that brings the family back together and the one who risks the most to protect their miracle. She recognizes what Antonio's gift will be (even if she didn't know it) before it's bestowed because she pays attention to him. She's already the family story keeper - the kids from the village ask her for the run down at the beginning. And when the Casita is rebuilt, she's granted the front door. She will grow up to be the next matriarch of the family, after Abuela.
