Punny Princesses

17 April 2010 | Filed Under Script Frenzy, Updates 


Oh no! Not the whistle!

Now that I’m half-way through Script Frenzy, I have a better idea of my princesses. And since I don’t have much to report by way of updates, I’ll introduce them to you!

Miranda: [a.k.a. The Little Mermaid] saved Prince Charming when his ship sank. She’s a bit bossy. Her name comes from The Tempest.

Maia: [a.k.a. The Princess and the Frog] betrothed to Prince Charming, but in love with Prince Wright, who she thinks she turned into a frog. OMG!

Narcissa: [a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty] a selfish and domineering person, who faints at the sight of her own blood.

Rose: [a.k.a. Beauty and the Beast] one of the few smart ones, but too curious for her own good.

Snowflake: [a.k.a. Snow White] allergic to everything, including apples.

Ella: [a.k.a. Cinderella] very pretty but has a high squeaky voice from hanging around those mice too often.

Rapunzel: escaped from her tower to go to Prince Charming’s ball, and is way too possessive of him.

Olive: [a.k.a. the Princess and the Pea] super sensitive to anything and everything. I thought it’d be funny if she was named after another food.

Scarlet: [a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood] totally murdered that wolf.

Most of these girls have a bit of an attitude, which is fun to write. I’ve finally reached Act III, where they begin to blatantly sabotage each other. I’m looking forward to the pranks!

And since humor’s not really my forte, I love how they manage to come up with clever jokes all by themselves. ;)
