The thing is, they're in japan, the common language between them is japanese by default-ish. With this in mind, shouldn't all non-japanese languages be the ones italisized. I think, so long as we're calling onigiri onigiri/rice balls, and not jelly donuts, then we're good.

I would play as the red rider, but without the triangle. I would vote for Night.

My brain is making up weird connections...
The riders being errant knights (white knight, red knight, black knight)...or the white rider being prince charming on a white horse, red rider being little red riding hood, and black rider being grandfather death.

I'd like to make John Henry. If American folklore doesn't qualify as fairy tales, I'll make someone else.

Gosh, that was a rather depressin' story. If he's a real person-ish, I don't think it counts for this type of RP.

If I choose the white rider 'Day', his alternate is a morning new anchor. If I choose the black rider 'Night', he'd be a cop that has shifts only at night. I was going to have a love triangle involving the red rider 'Sun' (noon) and the two riders, but then I realised how ridiculous a love triangle is.

So...white or black?

A princess could long to be kidnapped and no longer have to live the life of a caged royal...rather ignorant of the possible consequences. Then, that's when the king would probably arrange for the princess to be held hostage in a tower by _____ mystical creature/witch...probably to preserve the princess's purity/virginity, till he finds an appropriate fiancé for her. There'd be a whole lot of dramatics as a front, then the jailer 'dies', and the princess feels like she has experienced more to the world...been kidnapped, realised how dangerous the world really is, becomes dependant on her fated hero fiancé.

Way, way, way, way side character-ish character. From Vasilisa the Beautiful, either the white rider 'Day' or the black rider 'Night', a male character...of course, I find the whole IRL person face claim very awkward, so I guess I'll just write a vague descriptive paragraph.

Me neither, aside from the small thing here or there.

I'm claiming two princesses. The human princess of The Little Mermaid, and the princess of The Egg-Born Princess.
Ah, never mind...I'm just going to stick with my usual one, kind of sideish character.

Disney's Magical Institute for Student Training (M.I.S.T.)

A little bit bored with watching Li read through the novel, Orin went back to reorganizing catalogues. But only for a moment. Thinking of the books that needed to be reshelved, he went over to the cart and took hold of a small stack of books. Going over to the window, he stepped into the reflection, and dropped out of the reflection of one of the skylights on the far side of the room, right onto the top of the bookshelf. The wooden bookshelf creaked ever so slightly, but did not much else, for the Magic Mirror was a person quite light on his feet. Reaching down over this top shelf, he placed all the books onto the empty space of the top shelf, before finally talking a look around him. No reflection near him to hop into, he merely fast travelled/teleported to the mirror he had hung behind the front desk, and was back on track.

Going over to the cart of books again, Orin remembered that a few of the books had been unlabelled. Patting down his person, and cursing lightly under his breath, he remembered putting them (and a few stationary set items) into a box and into his quarters. Hurrying on over to the front desk, he peered down at the polished surface before reaching a hand out and casting light magic into the reflection. It flashed brightly once-twice-thrice, and a space opened up on the desk surface. However, before Orin could reach in and pull out his box, a platinum blonde poked her head out..."?!" Setting a hand on the blonde lady's head, he gently yet firmly pushed her head back down into the mirror space, "Miss Alice, your contract states a two years spent in Wonderland." Once she had given up, he removed his hand from the space and quickly cast more magic into the original reflection. Reaching a hand out hesitantly to the space opened on the desk surface, he reach his hand in...patting around...before grabbing onto and pulling out the box. The box was a little smaller than a shoebox, with red and black stripes along the cover. Pulling the lid off, the mirror smiled when he saw the labels.

I guess I'll just go with the princess of the Little Mermaid...you know, the one who does get the prince. The difference is that the mermaid did kill the prince and returned to the sea, leaving my princess distraught...and vengeful.

Or, maybe...

The original tale of Rapunzel was mainly about being a foster mother of a little girl whose parents would sell her out for a vegetable, and then had later themes of teen pregnancy...

Any who, I should prolly stick to a princess...I've been on a male-ish streak for a while, and have little to no female character at the moment.

In my imagination, I kind of think the kings in these fairy tales are paying to have their daughters trapped in a tower...I mean, they're are no people to tempt them from their role of princess, and by coincidence the prince or trusted knight happens to rescue them right when it's perfect time for them to marry. Clearly, this must all be set up.
*crazy head*
Another thing that bugged me about recent Disney movies is Tangled. Mother Gothel is clearly depicted as being selfish, yet Rapunzel didn't end up a raving feral child, though she had been stuck in the tower since birth...there were literally only three books in the tower, yet Rapunzel seems to be both thoughtful and even articulate enough. Maybe this implies that Mother Gothel taught the girl personally. Maybe, not so selfish?
*rants a bit more*
Either the typical tower-princess-dragon dynamic...or a Japanese-esque shape shifting ogre/oni from the Puss in Boots tale.
