some fun facts abt elijah:

he was adopted when he was around 3-4? he was abandoned and left on the back of a merchant cart headed to corona, where he was then discovered and then put into the local orphanage since no one was sure where he came from or who left him. all he had was a stuffed bear (named wooly), a basket of water and fruits to eat, and a letter that explained that:

his name was elijah

he was 2 (born on february 28th)

his parents couldnt care for him, so they hoped he would be found by a kind soul who could either take care of and love him, or else get him to someone who could

they loved him and only left him in the hopes that he would have a better life

he lived in the orphanage for almost 2 years and the few months before the 2nd anniversary of his arrival, rapunzel & eugene visited the orphanage that eugene grew up in and fell in love w/ eli, promptly adopting him soon after. he barely remembers anything about his abandonment and time in the orphanage, but always wanted to find his birth parents and let them know how he turned out. he kept the bear and basket in his room but carries the letter around with him in his wallet wherever he goes.

his full name is elijah frederic fitzherbert. he was given the middle name frederic in honor of his grandfather.

but, he much rather prefers eli. doesnt mind formalities but insists on people who know him to call him by his nickname. except he HATES being called “highness” bc he thinks it sounds stupid. he wont get upset per se if u keep referring to him as “your highness” but he will get annoyed

he very much wants to fulfill his role as “corona’s golden boy” by contributing back to his people. he worries for the kingdom more than he worries for himself and is always trying to prove that he is worthy of being a prince rather than just some random kid who got lucky enough to get adopted. most of his days are spent doing modest favors and helping out the townspeople or visiting the villages surrounding the kingdom.

when he’s in the castle you can almost always find him in the kitchen! boi loves to bake and cook. he loves the way food can bring joy to everyone. he often makes goods to give to the townspeople or the kids at the orphanage, where he volunteers at least every 2 weeks when hes not busy w prince stuff.

has an acute fear of disappointment. he feels so much pressure to prove his worth that came from growing up thinking if he did anything wrong he’d be sent back to orphanage, esp since his parents had another child. they wouldn’t want or need him anymore. he mostly got over this when he broke a vase when he was 12 and tried to run away from home, except he fell out the tree that he used to climb out his window and broke his leg lmao. his parents assured him that no matter what he did they would still love him and never abandon him, and his dad also taught him how to climb trees and roofs without dying (much to his mom’s chagrin). even tho hes pretty much over it, it kinda lingers subconsciously. thus, he overcompensates in everything he does and gets overly anxious about small problems

growing up he thought the stories that his dad told him about his past were so cool, despite the fact that he would almost always only hear those stories when he was being taught lessons of what he shouldnt do. he used to run around pretending to be flynn rider and his dad played along, planning play heists for them to do together (think scott & cassie in that one scene from ant man and the wasp) but they stopped when eli hit that age where he thought it was embarrassing to play w his dad. but, it really helped him bond w eugene and help him work on his coordination bc eli is CLUMSY AF

eli legit trips over nothing at least twice a day.

he bonded w his mom through art tho, which eventually turned into aesthetic desserts and meals! thats another reason why he loves baking and cooking so much.

when his 1st sibling was born when he was 5 at first he was jealous. he didnt get much attention at the orphanage due to the fact that there were so many kids and he was just starting to get used to the idea of having parents didnt have tons of kids always trying to win their affection and attention. he thought having a little sibling was the worst thing in the world and would hide from his parents bc if they couldnt find him they couldnt send him away. he hated his sibling.

until he met them. the second he saw their chubby face he was hooked. he swore that he would do anything and everything for them. and that continued when his parents adopted his other siblings as well. he absolutely adores them and acts like the protective older bro role

thankfully, with such a large age gap eli never rlly had to go through any of those petty squabbles that siblings usually have. he was always pretty protective of them tho and would fight when he thought they were being reckless and dumb out of his own fear that if they got hurt he would be an awful big brother (again, fear of disappointment)

he loves to travel bc his mom would always take him to these extravagant kingdoms and on these amazing sightseeing trips

this boy is hopeless when it comes to love. i can imagine lots of ppl liking him on top of all the ppl throwing themselves at him bc royal, but him being completely oblivious and thinking that no one likes him.

he had rlly bad ADD as a kid but its gotten better as hes grown. he still occasionally struggles w executive functioning tho and always gets rlly frustrated when he cant focus or remember

like i said earlier, clumsy af. no coordination. the only athletic ability he ever had was horse riding and running

that said he has a horse named may (short for mayonnaise. dont ask

he likes music a lot. prob learned piano at a young age

he probably is at the party bc royals? idk

EDIT: although (currently) unknown to eli, his true birth mother is maleficent. when eli was 2, his birth father took him away from her and had her suppress eli’s natural born powers. his father realized he was unfit to care for him, so he was the one who abandoned eli.

wanted connections!!

obv his parents and siblings? i mean cmon

one ( or both???? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) of his birth parents!!!!! they dont have to know that eli is their son or mayb they do and are too scared to tell him, but being trapped together will eventually make it revealed

childhood friends! people he met when he traveled w his mom or met at royal social functions? i rlly also want friends that he would hang w at all the royal galas and stuff and they would go do dumb stuff like look sneak out and look for secret passages of make bets of who could dump more crab cakes into the stuffy duchess’ purse when she wasnt looking

people who know him solely through his family

someone who likes eli and eli legit has no clue, no matter how much they flirt and drop hints

people who hate eli! or even just dislike him, which makes him upset bc he doesnt like the idea that there are ppl who dont like him in the world. mayb bc sometimes he gets super highstrung when things arent going how they should b and he like lashed out at them once or something. maybe they hate his parents and on principle hate him. idk

someone who was w eli in the orphanage

past relationships? i feel like hes never rlly had a bad breakup tho, its just that they prob just didnt work out. hes also bi so they can b any gender. hes still looking for his otp

oookay so cade!

- like her mother, cade livesss to be the center of attention and start up trouble. she gets bored easily so she usually finds entertainment in toying with people if there’s nothing else to do.

- contrary to what people may think about her, cade likes to get a little down and dirty sometimes. sometimes. while she does love fashion and the finer things in life, she can be a little bit tomboyish when she’s in the mood.

- cade’s got a tough exterior. that’s what happens when you’re mother is one of the most judgmental people on earth. the truth is, inside she’s always insecure about herself even though she would never let anyone believe that. 

- as a friend, cade is fierce. if you somehow manage to breakthrough her walls and get her to care about you, she’ll fight anyone to protect you. that being said, as an enemy cade is a living nightmare and a raging bitch. be careful though, she is very black and white and is quick to make decisions about people-- just like her mother. 

- cade is shameless and is always down for a good time. 

-  she is very passionate about music and fashion. she’s even fairly good at playing a few different instruments. she also loves to sing, although she’s not the best at it.

- love is difficult for her and she does not spread it often. because of her mom, cade grew up very independent when it came to relationships. Drizella taught her that she doesn’t need prince charming to sweep her off her feet because one never came for her. because of that, cade has never been in love or had a serious relationship with a guy, only casual hookups. but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t secretly dream of prince charming.

About

Being the daughter of Ariel and Eric, it was near impossible for Viola to not inherit her infatuation with the sea in all it’s vast destructive glory. Much like the waters she’s grown up loving and living in she has an insatiable thirst, a wanderlust of sorts for what maybe she hasn’t even figured out yet. Viola can never sit still, her moods come and go in waves and being bored is never an option. If there is nothing going on around her, she herself will go looking for the trouble. And it’s never very hard for the young woman to find plenty of it.

With an older brother she believes is far better suited for the responsibilities that come with their titles, Vi has always focused more on satisfying her need for a constant rush of adrenaline. Behind her nonchalant self indulgent exterior she lives in state of self doubt and fear that her story will never be as great as her parents, that she’ll have no legacy to pass on to her own children one day. That is if she can ever even manage to have what her parents have to get to that point in life where she’s ready to have children. Because how can you love the sea and not inherit the depths of it’s emptiness, and unknowing.

Connections

... and legit, what an angel.

literally. the opposite of agathe. which, i mean, is kind of the point with all of this.

violet grew up with a dad who exemplified non-toxic masculinity and a mom who was very supportive of being in touch with your feelings. so violet became a little flower child and spent her life in adoration and exploration. the middle child, it was easy for violet to feel like she was on her own, but she kind of liked it that way.

as a princess, she liked finding little nooks and crannies in the castle to get lost in, and would often start games of hide and seek with her siblings that she would win by default because they’d give up after an hour or so. the doors to the castle were never shut, and the little princess would often run into arendelle to visit with the subjects and immerse herself in the culture.

as it is extremely important to her, violet speaks several languages fluently, and is learning more. she speaks english, danish, swedish, norwegian, german, french, italian, spanish, and latin fluently. she can speak japanese, mandarin, and portugese conversationally. languages are kind of her thing.

violet believes in love. she’s waiting for her big thunderbolt moment, and she’s sure it’s going to come any day now.

most days, violet can be seen with a book or talking to strangers and prodding them for their stories.

the nitty and the gritty: in her intimate preferences, violet is demisexual and demiromantic. gender doesn’t matter to her, but connection is critical. she hasn’t had that yet. in fact, violet has yet to experience her first kiss. she’s fun, she’s sweet, but she’s very, very gullible. if someone says something to her, she’ll take it at face value.

Caleb came to the castle not to join the party, but to join the hunting party that was supposed to supply the party with meat. When they got trapped, he was surprised to find himself stuck here, and he’s pretty antsy to get out.

I’m using more of a Snow White & the Huntsman version of events, where after not-killing Snow White when he was supposed to, the Huntsman also helped her to take the kingdom back from the Evil Queen. 

He’s something of a restless soul, and hates to sit still. The idea of settling down is definitely not on his mind, but he’s had a lot of casual relationships. He’s open to dating and hook ups, but he’s not necessarily searching for the one. Might be fun if something serious snuck up on him though!

Caleb is pretty competitive, especially when it comes to royals, he’s definitely got a chip on his shoulder where he wants to prove he’s every bit as capable --if not moreso-- as the royals.

He can be stubborn and pig-headed, trusting his gut above all else. He follows his instincts, and once he’s made up his mind about someone, it can be hard to change his mind.

He definitely enjoys a good party and a drink, even though he also knows how to work hard. Probably the best way to get him to loosen up is with a beer in his hand.

Connection Ideas

A friend he’s known since childhood, someone who can call him out when he’s being too pig-headed and who can playfully put him in his place without making him feel like an idiot. 

An ex who things went real bad with, and now that they’re stuck in the same building, they may have to confront unresolved feelings.

A royal who he has an ongoing rivalry with, and the two are always trying to one-up one another. 

Faye doesn’t advertise who her mother is, or what it is she can do. She hides in plain sight, often in the guise of a servant or a peasant, to get close to those in power, that she might test them unseen. 

Since she’s not as powerful as her mother, she can’t change her appearance completely for her disguises, but she can change minor things, like her hair and her eyes. Other than that, she wears disguises to hide who she is. If she can’t conjure something she needs, she’s not adverse to stealing it.

Growing up on the move, she’s never really had a chance to make any close friends or get attached to anyone. She feels very independent, but she’s always hiding her loneliness and desire to fit in.

Faye always tests someone before she punishes them; if they pass the test, she doesn’t do anything to them. But if they fail, she does something to them. 

Her punishments are mild compared to her mother’s, but can still be a nuisance. I’ll always plot out any punishments with the mun in advance of having Faye do anything to your character, so no worries about her doing something you don’t want!

Her morality is... skewed, at best. While the lessons she teaches are valuable, many would argue the method is far too harsh, but Faye isn’t overly concerned by that. She doesn’t really care about right and wrong, she’s a creature of mischief more than morality.

Connection Ideas

I’m open to plotting just about anything, so if none of these appeal to you, feel free to reach out with any ideas and we can work something out! Or, just jump on an open and assume connections, I love following the chemistry!

A partner in crime who likes to cause mischief and chaos just like Faye, they’ve always got one another’s backs and cover for one another when necessary.

An ex who didn’t approve of Faye’s antics, and when she refused to change, they split up. They could still have feelings for one another.

Someone that Faye cursed in the past. They could still be living with the curse, or maybe they overcame it, or maybe they found an alternate way to beat it? Depending on the outcome, they could be grateful or spiteful towards her.

Someone Faye could curse in the future! Talk to me directly so we can sort out the details.

A friend who is blissfully unaware of who Faye is and what she does.

two.

Let me take what we know about Gaston ( which his past is relatively unknown ) and throw it on its head adding a little more depth and explanation to his overall characterization. Simply put let's make him a little more human - a reason why he is the way he is. While Gaston gladly assumes France as his home country and as his identity, the chauvinistic Frenchman is in truth not french at all. He wasn’t born in France, nor was he raised there entirely either. In reality, Gaston was born in a french colonial settlement based on Pondicherry in India.

Bonus Fact !! beauty and the beast is set technically in the 17th century if you look at the concept art, the costuming and the sets. the original tale was even published around this time. The French were in Pondicherry as early as the late 1600′s ( 1674 to be exact ). Albeit going back and forth from French to English control in 1742 to 1763 it remained part of French India until 1954. As this is a fairytale setting actual history is mildly fudged about this still makes perfect sense that not every character in Beauty and the Beast had to be white especially since our Belle is the most perfect and awe-inspiring goddess Fahriye Evcen ( the French and Turkish peoples have enjoyed a friendly albeit complex relationship since the 16th century - also if you go by the 2017 version plague came to France in 1740 so all facts but we’re not going by the actual dates they’re actually set  ). Anywho tidbit over )

Gaston was adopted ( GASP ) by a french merchant family who quite obviously gave him his very, very french name. They were influential people who while not rich enjoyed a decent fortune and had very large personalities ( another reason Gaston’s always been so extra and why no one says no to Gaston. ) Belle wasn’t the only one to have an issue in that poor provincial town if they thought she was odd for reading and having ideas.. a brown child in the middle of that town .... yep. Great steps were taken by himself to really stand out for the right reasons and have people see past that. ( not saying we should feel sorry for him because a lot of his own problems are created by himself. to it makes his prejudicial and narrow-minded ideas that much more sad because he should’ve been an overall more understanding character if he went through all that. it also adds a bit more realism to him why he doubted the existence of magic and dismissed Maurice's concern as the ravings of a mad man believing in only very practical things like wolves eating you, frostbite and starvation #survivalist nature ). He was scrawny and being the adopted son of a very thoroughly french family did a lot to get large and be a man no one could push around. Gaston became a man’s man - very athletic, outdoorsy and skilled in what most small-minded people consider a man. 

In the mission to be everyone’s favorite guy - that perfect paragon of manhood - Gaston became all the things we’ve loved to absolutely hate him for. In his late youth, he joined the army, went to war and really excelled there amid all the death and destruction proving his worth to the world. Coming back home he became the deceptively good looking rotten to the core town ‘hero’ and all-around favorite and most massively talented huntsman of that area.

Now let's insert all we know into the story - he tries and fails to court Belle dignity and intelligence are so attractive but Gaston’s block-headed held to the archaic beliefs he had of women should be. After a few horrible mistakes like trying to have her father committed, having the if I can’t have her no one can let's kill the beast attitude and then killing him well... our dude fell off into a deep ravine.

Surprisingly he did not die!! Just got very broke - in medical care for several months plotting his revenge against Adam and Belle. No one makes a fool of him and lives to talk about it. However, revenge plots change and adapt as Gaston threw himself into the arms of several women and even after all of this they throw themselves at him ( give me the bimbettes as mothers to some of his girls! ). The quest became to have a hoard of boys to prove he could still live out his dream of what life would’ve been like. In some great grand twist of fate as the ultimate revenge no matter how many women Gaston ‘loved’ none of the children that resulted were ever boys but good god much to his everlasting dismay ever last one of them were girls.

Cursed with girls and being a single father because there aren’t any women like Belle ( still carrying that torch ) never married any of their mothers nor made it a secret he never loved any of them ( the mothers, not the daughters because I’m not that evil - yet ). He has always consistently struggled to raise them with his old ideas of how girls and women should be and act. Yet as much as Gaston hated having daughters, hates giving them ideas and typical Gastonian things and has had a tendency to make them feel they’re not as important to him as they could be because they aren’t the boys he wanted.... God the man flipping loves them and that shows through in his complete overbearing over protectiveness. [[ Insert Mother Knows Best from Rapunzel with an equal mixture of Stay With Me from Into the Woods ( with it being father knows best and minus the parts about being ugly cause he’d never call himself ugly  ) ]]. Simply summed up he’s tried and failed at being a great parent, kind of sucks at it and while excessively proud of himself and overly vain loves them in his own way. Gaston himself has never really known how to show actual love to anyone and has quite a bit of personal growth to go through. That and he could stand to get his ass kicked a few more times... His six girls give him all the grief. They are the reasons for his grey hair reading books without pictures in them being women with ideas...

Now we arrive at our current moment and despite how it may seem Gaston hasn’t given up on ruining the lives of Adam and Belle. It remains a mystery how he actually got into the party but where there is a will there is a way and Gaston is just determined enough he found a way. Alas having not been entirely included in on the plan for whatever this is he’s feeling even saltier then our heroes and their children are. Why? Because no one told him the master plan and now he’s stuck here with his most hated enemies and his girls trapped. Really and truthfully he’s not about to help the good guys fully intending to be anything but helpful to their cause. Gaston’s not about to be entirely helpful to the evil side either - he’s simply going along with whatever the villains may be doing because he is one and its another way to fuck with Adam’s life and gain the upper hand in a fight he won’t win. ( too he is mildly concerned about ‘ideas’ and goodness rubbing off on the girls ). He’s not toned down in his own personal villainy it only has a different edge to it now. 

three.

wanted  connections !!

his daughters!! Please oh please give me his daughters because I live for the idea of him having all six girls here ( literally the best comeuppance to jerkface over here ). I do feel like these women would be incredible human beings despite him. Some of them might fight to earn his affection, some might be brilliant, some may be soft beautiful innocent little things afraid to come out of their shells. I just want them to make him see how incredibly capable they are and how wrong his ideas about women’s roles are. give me the badass daughter with daddy issues. give me the soft one who loves her father but has yet to find her fire to stand up for herself. give me all the feels because the girls I feel would’ve unjustly been lumped in with the villains because of who he is when each of them is a princess in their own right.

fellow villain parents !  give me more bad guys

exes ( the man is handsome and despite most peoples better judgment he’s popular )

LeFou because of reasons! 

all the things!! let us make something happen

 Hello everyone!! Sorry I'm so late I had a lot going on the past couple of days. My name's Danny. I'm 21, use he/ him pronouns, and live in the pst timezone. I'm a senior in college majoring in sociology. My favorite Disney movies are Mulan and Coco. I also love Tangled ofc. Charlie's a new muse and I'm still sorting stuff out so I'm sorry if this post is messy. If you'd like to plot like this or hmu on discord (dannyax2#7046)

Charlie was adopted when they were six. Prior to that they lived in an orphanage on the outskirts of Corona.

When their parents and siblings were busy they ran around the castle on their own and asked anyone they came across if they wanted to play. They befriended a lot of staff members and even some of their kids (who had to tag along with their parents when they went to work for whatever reason) this way.

In their teens Charlie started venturing outside of the castle to explore Corona. They didn’t exactly have permission, but it never required sneaking.They just got a few lectures about safety in the early days and when they came home after it was dark out.

The youngest of four kids Charlie will likely never inherit the throne, and they’re happy that way. They know being the youngest afforded them a lot of freedom and probably saved them from a lot of stress.

They’re kind, trusting, and sees the best in everyone. People have taken advantage of this since their orphanage days, but they refuse to let those people change them. They don’t understand that becoming a little more guarded would be good for them.

Charlie loves meeting new people, and tries to befriend everyone. When people don’t like them they get really uncomfortable, and they’re guilty of overcompensating to try and win someone over.

Bad with conflict. They try to avoid starting it, but if they think someone is criticizing them they get defensive real quick. Also the type of person to cry during arguments (they’ll ignore it and try to argue through it if you comment on it they just get more upset).

Wholeheartedly believes in wishing on stars, true love, and all that cheesy fairytale stuff.

Their official title is Prince Charlie of Corona. They’re fine with it when they need to be addressed by their title, but they’re not big on formality and ask everyone to call them Charlie.

They have a pet horse named Freckles.

I’m probably forgetting stuff, so I might add to this later but I think these are the basics

Wanted connections

Best friend/ voice of reason who gets dragged along on all their antics and tries to stop them from doing anything dumb

Friends in general-- other royals, people from Corona, unlikely friends (villains kid??), fake friend who’s taking advantage of them, give me all the friend plots tbh

Ex friend they had a falling out with

Someone from the orphanage who they hadn’t seen since they left until the curse

Someone who doesn’t like them that they’re trying to win over

Exes (any gender, I imagine they had 1 or 2 short lived relationships in their early teens and 1 serious partner who they were friends with first)
