Every time I watch EVER AFTER HIGH I am surprised by how angry I get on behalf of Raven 

you know what time it is lmao time watch me rage 😀

I’m gonna explain Cerise’s (Little Red’s daughter) situation. Because her mom is the hero and her father is the wolf from their tale it’s seen as rebellious that they fell in love. Also I’m gonna say this because you’ll only know some of this info from the books. BUT! In their version of the story, they never really did anything they were supposed to in the tale. Everything was staged so that both the Wolves and the Hoods (it’s two different clans) would assume they did their job right. After all-it’s blasphemy to not complete your role in your story

So, a few lore things to note: Ashlynn Ella and Hunter’s relationship has to be kept secret because of societal norms. Ashlynn, being a royal, is expected to marry a prince someday. Meanwhile, Hunter is considered both a commoner and a rebel (for not wanting to hunt animals like he’s supposed to). Also, I’d like to point out that as the next generational huntsman, he actually plays the role in both the Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood stories. Cedar was not born traditionally, she was carved out of wood like Pinocchio originally was and granted life by the Blue Haired Fairy - no awkward or painful births involved. However, the whole lying, nose-growing thing won’t happen for her until later in life, so for now she has been cursed by the fairy to only tell the truth. Cerise has to hide her ears because her very existence is forbidden. Her parents’ romance goes against the very idea of destiny, and Cerise having the physical trait of wolf ears is clear proof of that. No one else can learn that she’s part wolf or else they’d find out about her family’s secret. And to make matters worse, she’s actually destined to face off against her older sister as the big bad wolf in her story. And lastly, Kitty is a trouble-maker, but not necessarily out of bad intentions. She’s just super passionate about following her destiny as the next Cheshire Cat (a character who is very mischievous in general)

In the first book, there's a really sad prologue where Raven is watching the previous years legacy day and she sees an evil witch's daughter signing through her tears. It's also sad, because the narrotar mentions how she's wearing her favrioute lilac sandals under her black witches robe. She would never get to wear lilac again. 😢

In the OG novel, Cinder-ella was a name given by her stepmother to represent all the times she's been covered in Cinder by tending the fire and the rest of the house. Ash-lynn fits perfectly.

For a bit of lore explanation: the school isn’t split into heroes and villains, it’s split into royals and rebels. So the royals are all the heroes of their stories yes, but the rebels aren’t all the villains. Like Hunter is the son of the huntsman in Little Red Riding Hood (a good guy), but he isn’t royalty so he’s a rebel. Same with Red Riding Hood’s daughter, and Pinocchio’s daughter etc. Hope that helps!

It’s Ashlyn because Cinderella’s name starts with “cinder” and Ashlyn’s name starts with “ash”. You see?? Get it? They both relate to fire.

According to the book, not only can Cedar not lie, she is forced to tell the truth. At one point a group of students bullied her by asking her embarrassing and personal questions and she had to answer them

To explain the Royal vs Rebel distinction, since nobody seems to be getting it right: Royals- want to stay "loyal" to their story and follow their destiny Rebels- don't want to follow their destiny This is how you get people like Raven (and later some other people, but I won't spoil) who are technically royalty, but are Rebels, and people like Faybelle (daughter of the thorn fairy from the sleeping beauty) who are villains of their story but considered Royals because they want to follow their story (Hopefully this makes sense, English is not my first language 😅)

Ashlynn Ella’s name is a reference to the German version of Cinderella (Aschenputl) and to the fact that in the story the nickname Cinderella came from the stepsisters mocking her for sleeping by the cinders of the fireplace and ending up covered in soot and ashes.

I am a simple man, when I see Mathew has reacted to Ever After High, I click lol

Here’s a little info on kitty’s disappearing power. When she disappears with a smile she goes into something like a limbo pocket dimension that the Cheshire Cat can access to go to places faster. It was mentioned in one of the books that detailed what certain characters did the summer before their current legacy year. Also I gotta mention that kitty and Lizzie hearts (the red queen’s daughter) can hear the narrators, they just choose to ignore them. It’s a wonderland thing

One of the major themes of the show is that the system not only is broken but has been broken for a long time. Cerise Hood, a.k.a. Little Red 2.0, is proof of this, being the daughter of Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf, obviously a romance that goes against their story. Ashlynn and Hunter are another example, though a milder one, of being of different politic affiliations (Ashlynn part of the Royals who want their destinies and Hunter part of the Rebels who don't). But there are a ton more to come: people circumventing their destinites, manipulating them, fighting them, changing them. Raven is just the latest and loudest in a long time of dissenters.

It’s not about cerise being ashamed that she’s part werewolf or the fact that her dad is one either. I think it’s more of the fact that traditionally, the villain is the werewolf. That’s how the story is written. But in Ever After High, the secret is that the story is essentially wrong & little red riding hood & the wolf got married. So revealing she’s part wolf would be a contradiction to the story & her legacy

Also, a little explanation for Kitty Cheshire: As you already picked up, she's the daughter of the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland, where her role in the story is to create chaos. She takes a lot of pride in that and so messes with literally everybody. Still kind of a jerk, but she believes she's destined to be that jerk and so just kind of embraces it.

In Alice in Wonderland story, the Cheshire cat is actually "neutral", he doesnt care enough to help, but he does LOVE having fun on other peoples disgrace, and obviously in Ever After High, one's disgrace can be another's happiness

I love how Andrew's not the one supposed to be reacting to it but he knows everything every time Matthews confused 😂

I love Cerise so much because she literally is proof that nothing happens to those who dare to defy their fates, as she is the daughter of both the hero and the villain of the same story. In fact, Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf are the very first Rebels. Their relationship comes from when they were students at Ever After... and they are just adorable with one another.

Since Matthew’s seen the episode about Cerise Hood now, here’s a bit of context. In the book it is explained that over the generations, the setting of the red riding hood story slowly turned into a village full of paranoid people, and a wood nearby full of angry werewolves. Raven talks to little red riding hood and she explains that on “that day” (the day where she played the story out) she fell in love with the awkward teenage werewolf that was trying to fulfill his destiny but didn’t want to hurt her. In the version of Red Roding Hood that EAH is based off of, the wolf doesn’t eat the grandma, just locks her in a closet, and the hunter just scared the wolf off. After Cerise’s parents “lived the story” they started to secretly date, because the “Hoods” (humans) in their town hate the “Wolfs” (werewolves).

Cerise story is super important because it shows you that their are characters who aren’t following their destiny already. Which means raven not following her destiny won’t cause the world to end or her story to go away.

Why do I love Mathew not making a big deal over Cerise being part wolf not remembering the whole “villains and royals can’t be together” when Little Red and the Big Bad Wolf got together and had children- XD

I always saw Apple white as that gaslighted kid by her mom, she's not someone bad but her mom definitely is and is doing her best to make Apple the next Queen

I just want to let you know that Apple does get a lot of character development over time, but I still highly recommend the books P/S Her name is Ashlynn because of “Ash” since it related to “Cinder” like Cinderella

I love how worked up Mathew gets over a kids show- not saying that the system isn’t messed up, it definitely is, but it’s just so funny how it looks like he’s about to defend these characters with his life.

I think it never comes up in the show but Raven is the daughter of the Evil queen AND the Good king. And he was very sweet and loving and that's why Raven is so selfless and kind despite her mother and her destiny.

the reason raven is “selfish” in apple’s eyes is because they have all been told that if raven didn’t sign the book, her story would go poof, implying that all the snow white characters would cease to exist. and then, she’s also inspiring others to choose their own desitinies, which apple sees as endangering all the stories and students. we know that they didn’t go poof when she didn’t sign but headmaster grimm keeps telling apple that it will eventually happen so in apples eyes raven is risking lives and encouraging others to do the same so that she can be happy. OF COURSE raven is totally right to want a better life and i’d personally side with the rebels too because like you said it’s practically slavery but there’s a bit more nuance to the royals side then you give it credit for, it’s not that they just want their happily ever afters at the expense of others’ happiness it’s that they’ve been told that if they don’t follow the system, everyone will cease to exist. again, i’d be team raven too but apple isn’t just a villain, she has been manipulated and genuinely cares for the safety of her classmates, including raven :)

What I find to be even worse is that even some *Royals* don't want to fallow their 'destiny' but are still forced to just because that's how the system works, it's not just the *Rebels*. I'd say a good majority of the students don't want to fallow their 'destiny' and yet they're still forced to just because of the words of a few people in power.

Mat's point about the royals seeing the rebels stories and freaking out is kinda funny, cus that's almost exactly what happens when the Storybook of Legends disappears, and they all go into each other's stories.. Apple gets pricked and falls asleep at Briar's thing and she has to save her, and that's when Apple finally understands why some people hate their destiny (or at least why Briar was so upset about it earlier in that arc)

I think, if you read the books, Cerise's parents fell in love in high school. When it came time to perform their story, they acted it pretty accurately (minus the grandma eating), until it came time for the Wolf to be "axed". Little Red had hidden a smoke bomb in her basket, which she set off, faking a fire. It got everyone to flee, and ended the story without anyone getting seriously hurt.

I don't know who spoiled the Little Red Riding Hood story, but it's not nice. It's totally explained in the episodes, so why are people spoiling things he will learn about?! It's not like it was just implied and never really addressed?! There's a whole episode about the situation! So people, just STOP saying things he will see in later episodes even if he asks about and it will be answered! Just tell him it will be addressed in later episodes and that's all!

I’m not unhappy you’re going off on apple. I’m actually relieved that you voice the things that make me angry and frustrated too so I know someone else also has this experience. I relate. Thanks!!

I really hope bro watches the whole series because a lot of things happen and Id love to relive it through this guy

I believe the issue about Cerise is not her being half wolf, but that the union of a villian and a protagonist is either forbidden or controversial (maybe it can get both her parents in big trouble) Also it might affect her destiny because she is the daughter of both the wolf and the red ridding hood, she can't just fill both roles

Good to see that other characters than Raven are becoming discontent with their predetermined roles. But also, traditionally the Cheshire cat is just chaotic neutral. So it makes sense that kitty wanted to stir up drama

I love kitty. Shes basically the embodiment of how mischievous cats can be lol. Also i love that shes definitely a rebel but NOT evil

All I want is just be on a call with Mathew while he watches the episodes to EXPLAIN cuz it is physically agonizing to see him interpreting a story without context 😂😂

Cedar can't lie because her father, Pinocchio, had placed a spell on her so she could only lie once her story commences. This caused Cedar to become really expressive, but also to become a variable for the other students to be aware of, as they know she can't keep a secret. Now, Cedar can write stories perfectly well. The problem really is she can't read them unless they are real and not fictional.

We have more Ever After High which means a long explanation to answer your questions. Starting with Ashlyn and Hunter’s relationship. They both started developing feelings for each other as they both are nature lovers who spend a lot of time in the woods. The main problem with their relationship is much like predetermined destiny, a lot of the Royals have predetermined prince/princess. Ashlynn is expected to end up with some royal prince at the end of her fairytale. And Hunter is destined to protect his story’s heroine but love is not part of his tale. The society they’re a part of would ostracize them. And a little fun fact about Hunter. His main reason for being a rebel is his love for nature. While he enjoys archery, and saving damsels, he is against hunting animals. He wishes to avoid that part of his destiny if possible. The squirrel we see him chasing, Pesky, is an animal friend helping him train on the hunting aspect. Cedar Wood is a funny little case. Her father tried using magic to have her be on the right path, and prevent her from getting into trouble but he messed up the spell and cursed her instead to be incapable of lying. The actual logistics aren’t very well explained but anytime someone asks her a question she has to tell the truth. Even if she tries to hold back her thoughts it all slips out. Now to explain Cerise Hood, it’s also on that predetermined love idea. The Big Bad Wolf was never meant to find love. After getting beaten by Little Red and the huntsman he just has to live life in exile of sorts. Little Red and the Wolf fell in love during their time at EAH, being teens who wanted to be happy. But they signed their destinies and were meant to be each other’s fairytale enemy. It’s explained in the books they don’t have to follow the story detail by detail, but instead by beats. As long as they follow the major story points, and achieve the similar end result it’s fine. Little Red came up with a way to “defeat” the Wolf in her story, but it was essentially a staged defeat where he could run off and still be ok. After they completed their story, they sought each other in secret and made a family. Little Red and the Wolf were essentially the first ever rebels, one generation prior to Raven’s rebellion. The thing with Kitty Cheshire is she’s a Cheshire. Her entire thing is wanting chaos. She’s not being mean cause she wants to be evil. It’s simply cause she likes seeing chaos. And with the Cerise thing, it’s not so much trying to expose her, since she didn’t immediately tell the whole school, but more like she wants Cerise to not hide her chaotic backstory. Wonderland characters are the hardest to place into the rebel/Royal categories due to the nature of them not being any semblance of black or white. Very excited to see you reach to more!!

Cedar actually has no choice to keep the truth in, like pleading the fifth. It's part of her curse to blurt out whatever she's thinking. Even when she doesnt want to. That way she litterally cannot keep a secret, bc if someoke asks her she is forced to tell them bc of the curse. They explain that in the book but never specified in the show. Hope that helps!

Love the absolute flood of venom flowing from Mathew! You can really see in the cafeteria scene with the 2 tables that Reble doesn't necessarily mean villain. Like the Mad Hatter, Pinocchio, and Little Red Riding-hood are without a doubt not villains, most are the main heroes of their story. But we see them here supporting Raven and disliking the status quo which makes them Rebels.

I think the shoes took forever because Briar was asleep and Goldie would be obsessing over where the perfect location for the first shoe pair would be

For Ashlyn Ella's name I guess it's because it begins with 'Ash', which is directly related to the 'Cinder' in Cinderella. And they just wanted to give her a real name and not just 'Ash' that can also be a boy's name...

You know you are hooked when you get so passionate and vent about it

I hope he gets around to watching some of the more major parts of the show like True Hearts Day, Throwncoming, and Spring Unsprung. Those are a bit longer and provide a bit more characterization for the characters each one chooses to focus on. They also might help answer/clear up some of the questions and misconceptions he had in this video

The stories do not necessarily follow the original version, bu sometimes they make reference to them. The stories follow popularly known tales, and sometimes make changes to fit the universe of the cartoon. For example, the big bad wolf there is not a murderer, Cerise hides her origin because her mother shouldn't marry the Big Bad Wolf, she went against the laws of following fate; Another example is that the Cat from Alice in Wonderland is a half-cat woman. (im dont speak inglish very well, i come from brazil and i speak portuguese, so sorry if writed something wrong)

her name is ashlyn because of "cinder"ella. like the cinders from the fireplace are a type of ash hence ✨️ashlyn✨️

Cinderella’s daughter’s name is Ashlyn because “Cinder” and “Ash” are synonyms. And in the original story Cinderella’s name was Ella but because she worked in the kitchen and had to sleep there she had cinder (ash) all over her because of the fire wood so her step sisters would call her Cinderella.

The amount of anger you are giving out for Raven’s sake is so relatable!

4:42 Cinderella’s name comes from “cendres” in french (Cendrillon), which means “ashes”. And if you know her story you should know she spends a lot of her time cleaning stuff and getting dirty from ashes and cinders from the fireplace. So that’s why her daughter’s name is Ashlyn.

I love how the thumbnail represents so well Matthew's rage 😂 His face but also the characters'!

I think that you would have a blast seeing Total Drama World Tour songs. They are so catchy and Courtney has an amazing voice and the songs are filled with drama and revenge!

In the brother Grim's tales, Cinderella is a cruel nick-name given by her wicked step-sisters. Aschenputtel is her actual name. Cinder-ella, is a play on how she was always covered in soot and, you guessed it, cinder.

Hunter is the son of the Huntsman from "Snow White" and "Little Red Riding Hood". He is a Rebel, because his role as Huntsman compells him to kill animals, something he clearly doesn't want to do. And let's not forget his romance with Ashlynn who is meant to be the next Cinderella and marry a prince, not a huntsman. Again... Rebels are NOT villains, they are students who don't want to pursue their fairytale fates or believe people should be free to choose their own path (being them heroes or villains). In fact, there are children of villains who ARE Royals as they want to pursue their fairytale fates. And the squirrel is Hunter's pet, Pesky, with whom he has a complicated relationship.

LET'S GO MATHEWWWW! KEEP IT COMING WITH THESE EPISODES! IT'S ACTUALLY SO FUN TO SEE YOUR REACTIONS TO THEM! I'M SURE YOU WILL GROW INTO LOVING ALL OF OUR MAIN CAST { even daring :) } Edit for Mathew: so basically in the og story of Cinderella, she had to clean up the in the fireplace and that's when the fairy god mother appeared. So um yh :}

Depending on the version of the story, Cinderella sleeps in the fireplace and it's often said that she "sleeps among the ashes" so 'Cinder'ella and 'Ash'lynn ella fit a little more then you may first think! The way they name the characters in this show is so interesting especially when the parents already have a cleverly thought out name! except "Apple" White is not the best job😅

I love your Ever After High reactions You somehow made almost 30 minutes of content reacting to 5 minutes of media 😂

I will never not love these videos! Love your rage for Apple bc it is deserved is most parts! Raven is literally such an icon! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Personally, I define "selfish" to be: thinking solely about yourself *at the detriment of others* So if your decision directly negatively affects those around you (especially when you have other options), THEN you can be considered "selfish" (and even then, it may not be that simple, such as if those being affected are doing bad things themselves)

16:42 Keep in mind that the parents of these kids also went to the school and signed this. They were not the first, so the parents are just secretly not following their destiny.

Ashlyn is a play on Cinderella because of cinders and ashs

her name is Ashlynn Ella bc her mom's nickname is "Cinder"ella (which was ofc given to her by her step-mom & step-sisters who made her do chores, so she was usually covered with cinders from cleaning) cinder & ash

so the reason people cant find out about her being part wolf is that her dad is the "big bad wolf" like the villain from red riding hood, her mom.

Raven’s situation reminds me of Shrek’s from the first and second film. He’d told he Ogres don’t get happy endings. Yet, he defies fate and the literal Fairy Godmother, because he and Fiona’s love is true. I feel like the two of them would bond over that, he’d give Raven advice on how he made his own story instead of accepting what he’d been told.

to explain Ashlynn's name: her mother is CINDERella because she used to be covered in Cinder and named Ella. I assume the writers took a similar route and named ASHlynn to combine the word ash with the name Lynn

I can't wait for Mathew to watch the entire series it gets so dramatic and I would love to see his reaction

Mathew reacting to Ever After High is my peace moment

Omgosh. Thanks for posting these. I recently watched the whole series in a few days because of ur vids they’re amazing. And btw with Apple, I think she can be selfish but she isn’t that bad. And from what I heard happens in the books, during her childhood and how her mother is later on in the series. I grew to like her a lot more, and understand her. Plus she is also just a child, cause she’s in high school. So I understand some of the mistakes she made. But in her heart she’s definitely a kind and caring person. (As Snow White is supposed to be) P.s. I tried to draw apple white but I ended up completely ruining her face. 😂 5:43 I think Pesky is Hunters pet, which explains why they’d be fighting. Not a hundred percent sure. Someone can fact check in the comments.

"Are you happy with yourself?" Yeah, I like Andrew... I was "sideyeing" at Mathew like: dude...

I think her name is ashlynn bc in the french version of (the original) cinderella her name is Cendrillon and the "cendre" part of the name means "ash" plus fun fact her (cinderella) real name at the beginning of her story is Ella, it's Lady Trémaine who calls her "cendrillon" because she used to clean the chimney so she was covered in ash hence the name of her daughter ASHlynn ELLA I really hope it's clear, English is not my main language I am french if you need clarification feel free to ask and i will use a translator app :)

I’m just so happy that Mathew is still doing Ever After High videos ❤ I hope Mathew sees all the episodes n stuff. Literally when I see that he made an EAH video I click instantly 😂

From what I understand, Ashlyn is called Ashlyn, because Cinderellas real name is just “Ella” but because she was treated as a maid she had to tend to fires, and clean the cinders. This caused her stepsister to nickname her as “Cinderella”, so for her daughter she is called “ASH - Lyn” as a way to reference her mother

So in the original story of Cinderella, her real name was just Ella but her stepsister’s nicked named her Cinder-Ella because of the Cinder on her face from the fireplace. AshlynEllas name also stems from the same thing because of the Ash from the fireplace

Please keep these coming, I wait for these ever after high videos every day

Ashlynn's full name is Ashlynn Ella. Ella, because Cinderella's real name is Ella. Ashlynn, because it's a bit of a pun. Cinder is a synonym for ash, so *Ash* lynn.

11:08 i wonder if cedar could've asked one of her friends to tell a "tall tale" and then she could repeat what they said by saying "so yesterday, raven told me how she...." and repeat the "lie" because shes not lying; thats what raven said. This probably isnt possible but its just an idea.

I think that the reason Cerise is so secretive about her parentage is less that she’s half wolf, (that’s probably the least weird thing in that school), and more that an evil villain and a hero got together and had kids. That seems like it would be extremely taboo in this world.

wait till he gets to the episode where a royal actually gets to go through ravens destiny 😭

In regards to Ashlyn's name, Cinderella was actually called Ella but they changed it to Cinderella because she used to sleep by the fire and got cinders in her hair. Ashlyn is Ash like from a fire! Some of them have more literal names like Hunter, where as others have a play on words as their name Or just Simply something that references their story.

Cerise and Kitty Cheshire are my favorites. Cerise has such a pretty aesthetic and I can relate to her attitude Kitty is really interesting and I really relate to her as well. She’s expanded on as a character a lot more and they reveal her backstory and why she acts the way she does. I personally relate to her situation a lot and it makes her a top tier character for me

Royals are students that want to follow their stories, rebels are ones that don’t

Aaaah! I’ve been waiting for more follow up! At this point, I’d absolutely watch Mathew react to the entire series.

Im so early but i love your ever after high videos please do more

I love this series so much! Glad I discovered this channel from it, I hope you continue and finish it.

Cinderella is after the cinder of the fire she slept on, Ashlyn is for Ash-es

Apple’s background for being a bitch, ripped right from the books: When Apple was six years old, she had fallen down a well. She’d been chasing a dragonfly and climbed onto the well’s edge. Then… a seeming endless fall that ended in a freezing splash, struggle, and gasp for life. She treaded water, her heavy petticoats pulling her down. She didn’t have the breath to either scream or sing for help. It was the first time in her life that she’d ever felt alone. Or cold. Or really, truly scared. Every night before bed, her mother had told her a story that should have been frightening: _Scary Evil Queen. Huntsman ordered to cut out her heart. Lost in dark woods with grabby trees. Dwarves, dwarves, more dwarves. Old peddler lady giving her a strangling ribbon. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned comb. Old peddler lady giving her a poisoned apple. Crunch. Gasp. Faint (beautifully). Dead sleep. Cold glass coffin. Empty dreams. Then… kiss. Wake. Prince! Cheering dwarves. Huge choreographed dance number. Happily Ever After._ Even the scary parts of the Snow White story never scared Apple, because it was known. It was her mother’s story, and her mother assured her that one day that same story would be hers. Treading cold water in the well, feeling her legs tire, her face start to sink under, the cruel, smooth walls slick to her grasping fingers, six year-old Apple had changed. She realized that the real world was much, much scarier than any fairytale. Only in her own story would she be safe. It took two minutes for her servants, her parents, and a horde of woodland creatures to find her and pull her out of the well. Two very long minutes. By the time she was wrapped up in fifteen blankets before a fire, worried bunnies huddled onto her lap, shoulders, and head, Apple had made an important decision. She wanted her story. She wanted it ASAP. The sooner she was in that nice, safe, familiar tale-poisoned fruit and all-the better. Her story wouldn’t happen without Raven. So Apple had to help Raven onto the right path. And if that didn’t work, she’d _make_ her.

Can't wait for more of these! They only get better and better.

I needed this today so badly I have had the worst week at work and with family life and you are delivering me the proper amount of serotonin that I needed to at least get through being happy for just a little bit. Thank you for being you. I’m so excited to watch.❤❤

Fun fact. The wolf from little red riding hood isn’t the only wolf to be cut open and filled with rocks! I have a brothers grim complete works book. I would have loved to see the girl with no hands failing to carry books in the background while Apple white complains about how this mirror is two atoms different than the other one.

The reasoning for the name Ashlyn is due to the word cinder in Cinderella with cinder and ash both being words to describe the remnants of fire wood after being burnt. In fact, Cinderella’s name itself was actually a nick-name given by her step mother and sisters since she was always cleaning and covered in… well, cinder and ash Cinder-Ella Ash-Lyn Not to hard to put two and two together

I'm loving seeing you react to this series!

Ashlyn's name corresponds to Cinderella's. Cinderella is a nickname, it was originally Ella, but her stepsisters found her sleeping in the cinders one day and started calling her Cinderella. Another word for cinder is ash so, Ashlyn

27:00 I think you missed the point. xD The narrators said, it was a good thing, that Raven made people question their destiny. It's a good thing the school will never be the same again. As others already mentioned, Ashlynn is called like this, because Cinder = Ash.

Hunter is supposed to be the hunter from Little Red Riding Hoods. Ashlin isn't supposed to date him because she's supposed to marry a prince charming. Yeah that's messed up Also it's ASHlin like CINDERella

The reason she has to hide that she's the big bad wolf's daughter is because her parents basically broke the rule of fallowing you destiny and the whole good guy bad guy or Royal and rebel but ultimately they just weren't supposed to be together and she wasn't supposed to exist. That's why she hides it Also I always found the royal rebel thing really confusing like what defines you as a royal? What defines you as a rebel? Because like lizzy heart isn't the hero of her storyand is honestly a villan technically rave is a royal Little Red Riding Hood isn't a royal, but her relationship with the big bad wolf is a huge taboo faybelle and duchess swan are both royals but also villains and It's all just really contradictive and confusing

Love to see someone reacting to this show. No matter where I look I couldn’t find it.

04:39 I can explain that. Cinderella originated from the German tail "Aschenputtel" in which "Aschen" just means Ash. So her name is ASHlynn.

Kitty Cheshire is actually just doing what she is meant to do. She is the daughter of the Cheshire Cat, so it is her fate to cause mischieve and stir up trouble to others. That's why she tried to expose Cerise and provoked the fight between Rebels and Royals, as that would result in great chaos for her entertainment. But don't let her antagonic side to deceive you because she does have a nicer side.

Ashlynn gets her name from her mom because it’s CINDERella and cinder is a synonym for ash. Also her full name is Ashlynn Ella ^^

3:15 Remember that not all villains are Rebels, and not all Rebels are villains. A Rebel is simply someone that doesn't want to follow their "destiny".

I LOVE how you decide to watch ever after high, because it was one of my favourite shows as a lid, and seeing other people watch it for the first time and enjoying it makes me sooo happy 🥰
