The Swan Princess doesn't get a happily ever after. That's why Dutchess (the dancing princess, that tried to ruin every princesses life to get her place in the royal ranks) does her thing. Her destiny is to fall in love and literally die, because her prince breaks her heart by falling in love with another woman. So she wants an ending, where she at least gets to stay alive. You can't really blame her for what she's trying to do, but because of the methods she is using, a lot of other students resent her. She's basically ready to kill another person indirectly, rather then die herself.

Apple White is actually a very nice and kind person, when it comes to the problems and people she's used to. She grew up having A LOT of privilege, and is consideredThe Future Queen of the fairytlale land, having more power than anyone else. So she is VERY privileged. Her story is based on her slowly learning just what it is to have a bad ending and see your friends suffer, while you have all the power and happiness you want, and realising just how wrong she was. So the story slowly goes from having both sides be right and wrong, to taking Ravens's side and have her be right, so in the end they all get to shoose their destiny and loved ones, and Raven and Apple truly become friends and live in their new normal. The Headmaster also chooses their side over time and stops being a bad guy.

Okay, let me clarify Duchess' situation: she IS a Royal. She DOES believe everyone should follow their respective destinies. And she WILL follow her destiny when time comes. However... She doesn't like her destiny, as she is the daughter of Odette, the Swan Princess and her happily ever after isn't exactly... happy. Because of that, she is resentful of those who have happy endings but don't commit themselves to the story. That's why she gets so mad that Ashlyn (who has a great ending to her story) is not following her story. Not just that, but Duchess also tries to take another's happily ever after by force, that's why she is trying to force Ashlyn to abdicate her destiny in her favor.

The best explanation I can give for the love stuff is that as long as you don’t have a assigned love interest, you can date whoever you want. So a person like apple or Ashlyn has a assigned love interest in there destiny, while a person like Cedar or Raven don’t have a assigned love interest and so can date whoever they want to Also duchess is the daughter of either the black swan or white swan from swan lake. As a result, she doesn’t get a happily ever after, as swan lake ends in tragedy

What makes Cupid more confusing is that she's originally from Monster High, where the concept of following your parents' story would be horrific considering.. well, Frankenstein, Dracula, and Medusa are good examples as to why. Plus, the encouragement to be yourself in all your weird glory over there. So it was surprising to a lot of fans (at least, in the part of the community I participated) that Cupid wasn't more of a Rebel. Though her crush on Dexter is pretty up in the air as to whether it follows her dad's story or not (Eros & Psyche).

Monster High is a Parallel Universe to Ever After High. They no longer needed her help so she transferred to Ever After High where they did need her help. Monster High being the sons and daughters of classic horror monsters and mythos is about accepting not only your self but others as well while Ever After High contains nursery rhymes and fairy tales. This creates and promotes the narrative that you don’t have to be who you’re parents or authoritative figures want you to be. That you can be who you are without the peer pressure of being something you’re not. Cupid doesn’t have a story book because she isn’t a fairy tale character. So Yea…sorry this was so long😭😭😭

What I think is interesting is that the ancient greeks thought of Eros as a monster that even gods feared. Mainly because passion led to very stupid mistakes and things like Oeudipus... I guess her destiny would be something like becoming actual cupid and doing her father's work full time? But it would also make sense to reason that Cupid would recreate the myth. After all, not all stories in EA are from the brothers Grimm.

I'll leave this here, since it's not explored in the series and might help prevent questions: The Charmings are a big clan who basically produce princes for all the different fairytales. They actually don't know which story they will go into (since there are so many "prince charmings" in stories that appear for like 2 minutes at the end), it's all decided later. Usually it's presumed that the best Charming will get the higher-ranked story, like Daring is the oldest and is presumed to become the prince in Snow White fairytale, but nobody knows that for sure yet. Same with Dexter, he can get assigned to any story that needs a prince

A whole family lineage made to mass produce princes to keep this system running?? That's.... something alright... and we don't even know how long this system has been in place, if there's an entire clan of families supplying fairy tales every generation with their "prince charmings,"(and occasionally Princess Charmings I guess like with Darling since gender swaps with fairy tales like Cedar and such) it's probably been happening for a LONNGG time. We don't even KNOW how old the brothers Grimm really are. They're literally just dictator/cult leaders, or at least the one in charge is, it's insanity 😭

Royals and Rebels are more easily explained as Royals being of Royal blood and Rebels being everyone else. Raven would normally be a Royal but she actively chooses to be on the Rebels side. So Maddie is a Rebel because she isn't of Royal blood. Cedar Woods is an example of a Rebel that doesn't hang out with Raven very often and she wants to follow her destiny.

So I found this out a while ago but not every person in ever after has a story they are confined to. That’s why several boys simp over Apple without breaking their destinies because they don’t have one yet. If you always had to follow your parents destiny the family tree would get messy because the Princess’s child is also the prince’s child. So there are families in ever after that are just like place holder love interests. The Charming’s are one of these families. So I doesn’t matter who Daring, Dexter, or Darling end up with because they can play the love interest in any story. Everyone just assumes Daring will end up with Apple because he’s the most popular but no one actually knows.

Dont worry, Daring doesnt stay happy with his story for long. The thing is, the Charmings don't actually know which stories they're born for. They only figure that out on legacy day. They just know that they will have to fill a Prince Charming role in some fairytale eventually, but they dont actually know who their princess will be. Daring thinks hes going to end up with Apple, but like... Also, theres a theory that Dexter is "The Good King" from Apple's story, and that he will be the one to marry Raven "The Evil Queen". But of course this also has the dynamic of them being Apple's parents which wouldnt work in their generation of the story, but it is what it is. Oh one more thing, keep in mind that Daring and Dexter have a sister, Darling Charming. And that some storybook characters have more kids than necessary to continue their story, so theres a decent amount of EAH students who have no idea which story theyre meant for. Like Poppy O'Hair, for example. In this universe, Rapunzel had two twin daughters, and the older twin, Holly, is the one that is supposed to go on to become the next Rapunzel.

Apple was never exactly selfish. I mean, she is loved by the entire school and not just because she is the daughter of Snow White. She is actually kind and selfless. However, her love for tradition and her eagerness to become a Queen to better help her future kingdom makes her become unaware how selfish she is being by wanting to force Raven to be something she is not so she can make her destiny a reality. Just because someone is being selfish about something doesn't mean that someone is a selfish person as a whole. In fact, she actually believes that breaking tradition can put in danger the fairytale world. So, in her perspective, by trying to make Raven to follow her destiny, she is not just making her story a reality, but she is also protecting the ones that are involved in it from disappearing, Raven included. Also, the assumption that Daring is Apple's prince charming comes from the fact they are the most popular students (from each gender) in all EAH. It's like assuming that the King and Queem of prom will get together in the future.

@@rafaelmatos5851 I understand your points but at the same time she is DEFINITELY selfish. I will preface by saying that being selfish isn't always bad, it's quite literally just prioritizing yourself more than others to an inconsiderate degree which is sometimes necessary, but not in her case. Selfish describes her perfectly. She wants everything to go right for her AND be about her! She steals attention all the time even though often not with ill intent, it's still in an inconsiderate way. She wants things to go right for everyone ONLY WHEN that means everything is perfect for her first. Love for tradition and the effects of indoctrination make sense, but they shouldn't apply to every conversation she has on a personal level. I don't hate her or even dislike her that much in the end because it's certainly a product of the system but she is just straight up ignorant here there's no other way around that, she's a teenager it's not that hard to get a bit of emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills.

More Ever After High means more lore explanations. Particularly on our two new characters introduced. Sparrow Hood, son of Robin Hood, is either makes you laugh or you find annoying. He’s part of the rebels side, mostly cause he desires to be a rockstar on concert posters instead of a criminal on wanted posters. A very simple reason but sometimes that’s all you need. On the flip side we have Duchess Swan, daughter of the Swan Princess. Duchess is a unique kind of royal. She’s one of the few, if only, Royal we know that isn’t destined to have a Happily ever after. Depending on which version of Swan Lake she follows, she either spends the rest of her life as a swan or ends up dead. As such she’s a very bitter person, wishing her story could end in happiness rather than tragedy. Duchess’ concept of a royal ranking implies that each fairytale is ranked, and who takes over the story is determined by where they fall on that ranking. It’s never explicitly stated in the show but Duchess was told by someone, probably Headmaster Grimm, that she could take over another Royals destiny if she could catch them not being true to their story. As such we see her often searching to knock down any royal who strays from their pre-determined stories. Whether this is true or not is hard to tell. Very possible she was lied to as a way to keep everyone in check. Whichever way you spin it Duchess will always be interesting. She does everything she can to be the perfect royal, but her destiny is to be met with a bad end. And she’s really our first look into the reality that not all Royals are guaranteed to have a peaceful and happy life after their stories. Some get dealt with bad endings or curses they have to overcome before getting to have a happy life, if they receive it. I’m excited to see you continue down this storyline as you get to explore how gray the story can truly get.

What I found interesting in the books is, that in their fairytale stories, even if the character is supposed to die, they wont. It is explained by a wicked witch in Hansel and Gretel story. Raven meets her and asks her how is it possible that she is alive and not burned to death and she tells her that for her and characters like her there is an exception. That she was allowed to slip out of the back oven door. Its because she has to produce an heir, another witch for the next hansel and gretel and she would not be able to do that if she is dead. And so characters like her just have to go through their story and than they live quite normal lives.

Ashlynn has a partner she is "destined" to be with due to her story which is why her and hunter are scandalous. Also characters are teens so they feel free to date like apple and daring are a "couple" but apple said they have forever to be together so thats why daring flirts with other girls since they can date whoever but marriage is different as its an arranged marriage. ~ btw love your reactions keep going ♡

The books are written in a way where they are cannon, but not required reading to understand the show. Having watched the show and read the books (albeit a while back), I never thought Apple was different in the books or in the show. However, the first book does provide Apple with a good reason to feel so strongly about people following their destinies. Now I don't think this will make anyone like Apple (I've personally always disliked Apple). But it does help explain the unique relationship between Raven and Apple. Why Raven tolerates Apple and her insistence that Raven lives a life of suffering and a scene between them in way of the later long episodes

one thing to realize about ever after high is that being a royal does not guarantee you a happily ever after, and not every rebel is a villain. the biggest distinction is that royals are quite literally royalty, and rebels are just the common folk who still have their own stories. the rebel category also happen to be where the villains are placed because most fairytales do not have villainous royalty. it’s a little different with a few characters, for example raven queen and duchess swan (the dancer who wanted to steal ashlynn ella’s story). raven is the daughter of a queen, making her technically a princess, but because her destiny is to be an evil queen, she is a rebel. duchess swan is the daughter of odette who was the white swan and protagonist of the swan lake story. the story ends in tragedy when the black swan odile tricks odette’s lover into professing his love for her instead of odette, and odette dies. that’s why duchess swan wants to steal a happily ever after for herself, since she is a royal (idk why, i don’t remember if odette is royalty in the original story of swan lake but that’s just where duchess was put for eah) but doesn’t have a happily ever after like the rest of the royals. TL;DR royals are literal royalty, being a royal doesn’t guarantee you a happily ever after. rebels are everyone else with a story, and being royalty can be overridden by your story requirements if your story needs to you being evil hope that helps! edit: i also wanted to add something to help clear up confusion about why ashlynn and briar aren’t rebels now that they question their destinies. rebels aren’t defined by wanting to go against their predestined story, in fact there are plenty of rebels who like their stories (madeleine hatter, kitty cheshire, sparrow hood, and cupid to name a few). the main conflict stems from the fact that royals are treated better than rebels overall, and rebels have more of a reason to want to choose their own destiny since on average they have fewer happily ever afters than royals do.

A lot of the characters who seem like they should fit into the Rebel category but still do fit into Royals are also just conflicted. They may feel the way rebels do in their hearts, but they are too scared to show it, say it, or act upon it. A lot of it is about appearances, so as long as they still publicly support everyone following their storybook destinies, they're still seen as royals. Even if they might secretly feel differently. It's explored more later on, but I get how it's confusing!

So the Charming family has several kids like Daring, Dexter, their sister Darling and a whole lot of their cousins too. They're all meant to "supply" the "prince charming"s for all the stories that need them. So Daring's destiny is fixed to be Apple's prince but Dexter and the others could be in any story. And Raven's technically a princess so it's normal for him to have a crush on her (not that anyone notices anyway).

My understanding of the dating situation is that while it is part of the Roylas vs. Rebels conflict, its also Hunter not being a prince that could be part of Ashlynn's story. When Apple was talking about True Hearts day, she doesn't talk about meeting with the boys they like, she talks about meeting their "Pre-determined Princes" Something Hunter is not. There are a ton of generic princes that that have no specific destiny that will fill the unfilled roles in various stories. If Ashlynn was dating one of them, it wouldn't really be a problem. Daring himself is supposed to fill the role of prince in Apples story. But, for reasons that will make more sense later, Apple herself doesn't even care about dating Daring, despite being her pre-determined "True Love". On the logic that they have the rest of their future together, so it doesn't matter while they're in school. To sum it up, its a mess.

Okay I really really really need you to know this about their destinies so I hope you do read all the comments cause this first point is really important for me that you know while continuing the show: While they are the children of the fairytale characters we know and love, their parents are NOT THE ORIGINALS. This story takes place after so many generations, but basically when you take part in the story you BECOME that character. Apple’s name will legally change to Snow White when the story starts, just like Raven’s will change to The Evil Queen. It’s like that for everyone, so that’s how they can all say that are the children of those characters. Additional things; This also tied into the fact that the stories have changed and deviated a lot since their originals. So things like Cerise being the child of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf happened because they didn’t follow the story like they were supposed to. And for Cedar, her dad made her because when she starts her story, he would become Geppetto, so she wasn’t given birth to. Hunter is the huntsman for two stories, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. Rebels are people who want to deviate from their destiny and also those who choose to support the cause. Technically Maddie would be a Royal but she completely supports Rebels and wants to be a Rebel but she still likes her destiny. Royals are people who want to or at least plan to fulfill their destiny. Duchess wants to change her destiny but she will go through with it if she can’t. She’s a Royal. Dexter is a Royal because even though he likes Raven he still plans on fulfilling his destiny too even though I’m not sure what it is.

The thing with Ashlynn and Hunter is that its more or less "okay" for people to date in high school, as long as they then proceed to break up and follow their destiny, but because Ashlynn is so prominently a royal- the implication that she's dating Hunter means that she may not be so strong in her resolution to follow her destiny anymore and Thats the problem- and because Ashlynn's story ends happily, Duchess wants it (you can sign the book in Someone Else's place and get their destiny instead, which causes some issues) because Duchess is a royal under her belief that everyone should follow destinies, but her destiny ends with her dying so she wants someone else's, but she's still following A destiny at the end of the day

Not EVERYONE in EAH is miserable. Well, some are, but as the series goes on, some find happiness, others defy and change their fate by choosing their own destiny. The main problem, as many have pointed out, is the upending of the established status qoe causing conflict between opposing ideologies and povs. Namely the royals vs the rebels. Apple does eventually go though development of her own over later arcs that has her rethink her mindset. Apple and Raven are certainly good examples of not only peers and society pressuring them, but their parents as well.

The way that i've always interpreted the royal/rebel situation is with who is supporting who. Characters who are considered royals are people who agree with the idea that you HAVE to follow your destiny. Whereas characters who are rebels are people who agree with the fact that you can chose wether or not you want to follow your destiny. For example, characters like Maddie are okay with following their destiny but support those who don't want to follow their destiny. It's about the ideology. Hope that helps 😊

13:23 so fairytale-wise, they really wouldn’t be straying from their respective stories. the evil queen is married to the good king in snow white, so Raven eventually ending up with a prince or royal (like Dexter) isn’t necessarily rebeling against either of their stories. i really like that the creators kept that in mind when forming Dexter and Raven’s relationship (if i’m right). i think people tend to forget that information since basically everyone is labeled either a royal or a rebel and it’s either they follow their entire story or completely disregard it

In the last video you were saying, that the name Ashlyn doesn't make sense. I think it comes from the original fairytale. The story is originally in german and the name isn't Cinderella, it is Aschenbrödel/ Aschenputtel. The first part of the name means ash because she had to pick through the ashes to get all the lentels out, so that she is allowed to go to the ball. So naming the daughter of Aschenputtel, Ashlyn makes sense, but only if you know the character by her original german name.

Up until not so recently an incident happened where a Royal and a Rebel decided against that mould. The heirarchy of the school, being Headmaster Grimm, and possibly the land, being Snow White found a way to completely wrap this holiday up and seal it off (why they would want the same goal will make more sense in the future long series Dragon Games) so that is why it hasn't been talked about or celebrated in years

Hunter is the huntsman from Snow White (the books state this explicitly) so Apple considers him a friend just as she does Ashlynn for being a royal. According to this logic it seems that Royals can be friends with anyone, but can't date outside of their story. Book Apple is way more mature about this because there are a couple inconsistencies now about your question when it comes to Duchess: She is a Royal, but her story has a sad ending because she's the Swan Princess from Swan Lake, she plans to follow through on her story but if there's a window of opportunity to change the ending she will effectively making her a Rebel

Ashlyn is straying from the story, so she is technically a rebel however she is keeping up appearance of staying with her story, so she is being classified as a royal right now.

She believes that giving swan lake a happily ever after will make the story more popular & respected. She basically loves her story so much that she's willing to kinda sorta rebel for the sake of upholding it. Girl's complicated.

I’m going to explain the Royal-Rebel situation for anybody who’s still confused: Originally, the school wasn’t separated by Royals and Rebels, but rather Royals and Commoners. Every Royal is of royal descent, except for Blondie, who would exaggerate her heritage and make it sound like she came from royalty. Every Commoner is of non-royal descent, except for Raven, who originally chose to stay in the Commoner’s area because she didn’t fit in with the Royals. After Legacy Day is when the Commoners became known as Rebels. All Rebels think people have the right to choose their destiny, even if they like their destiny. For instance, Maddie is excited to follow hers but is very much a rebel. Royals all believe that they should follow their destinies, even if they don’t like it. For instance, Duchess is the daughter of the swan princess Odette. She is of royal descent, and thinks she has to follow destiny, but she hates her ending and doesn’t want to go through with it. Sometimes characters walk the line. Ashlynn, for instance, considered herself a Royal for a while despite dating Hunter. Hunter isn’t her fairytale prince, but dates him anyways, despite agreeing people should follow their fairytales. It could have been that, if things weren’t different, she would have broken up with Hunter once their stories began.

Rebels aren't people that want to change their story. In this school a rebel is anyone who isn't a royal or is a villain (seeing as Raven is technically a princess). Hunter, Cerise, and Maddy are all rebels because they aren't royals and Raven is a rebel because she is supposed to be a villain. The royals are anyone who is royalty, but not a villain (again why Raven isn't considered a royal despite being a princess).

The insist of the charming family concerns me though, since there are family of Royals who just pumped out princes for different stories wouldn't some of it being incest, for example Apple's dad was a prince charming and so was Ashley and Dad, so it makes sense she would want to date Hunter because he's not a prince but then Apple wants to date daring charming, but he is the if not her brother, then the sun or cousin of her dad's cousin, so they're at least second or third cousins and that's kind of disturbing when you think about it, because if all the Charmings are related to one another and they always end up with the fairytale princesses like Cinderella or snow white then okay, one of them ending up with Cinderella and one of them ending up with snow White that's fine because they are married brothers okay or cousins, but then it becomes more difficult when they have children because their children are now related so if hypothetically Dearing is let's say cinderella's son then wouldn't he still be Apple's cousin because Apple and Ashley and would be cousins if their parents both married a charming and even if they don't end up with the one that's related to them, they're still distantly related because of their Uncle Or cousin that is married to the Princess, like for example even if they're not closely related, Apple and daring still would share at least a great great grandfather right?

Also another note Royals are not those who follow their destinies and Rebels aren’t those who don’t. They are born into their roles similar to Heroes V Villains except it’s different because not every Rebel is the villain or their story or Vice verse. For example Sparrow (son of Robbin hood) is a rebel but he’s the protagonist of his story. What determines whether they are a Royal or rebel is basically their character archetype. The show isn’t very clear with the hole classification thing anyway though. Also both Royals and Rebels can have bad endings or good ones. Duchess is a Royal with a bad ending. Rebels just typically tend to side with Raven because 1 most of them have a rebellious nature 2 most of them are ridiculed and have worse endings compared to most royals and 3 Raven is there friend

I know what you mean, poor Raven and the other people that don't don't even get happiness. I also the other royals were stuffer terribly, so they can get even get happiness. I hope they all have a happy, good life. Expect I hate her because she crosses the between selfish and petty. I don't mind a selfish character, as they grow from it. But she crosses the line between being too selfish and entitled. At least with Duchess Swan, it is a lot more sympathy for her because she is screwed. Basically, she is like Azula of thw show. An Daring, he was selfish but the right of selfish of to grow, unlike Apple who is too way to selfish.

The books are also really good! They actually deviate slightly from the show. There are quite a few details that contradict part of the show. Even so it’s really good, because some things from the book answer questions and delve deeper into things the show doesn’t.

Alright I’m like halfway through and I feel like Matthew needs to know who is classified as what Raven Queen - Rebel Apple White - Royal Maddie Hatter - Rebel Cedar Wood - Rebel Ashlynn Ella - Royal Briar Beauty - Royal Dexter Charming - Royal Daring Charming - Royal Hunter Huntsman - Rebel Cerise Hood - Rebel CA Cupid - Rebel Duchess Swan - Royal Sparrow Hood - Rebel Tiny - Rebel Blondie Lockes - Royal Kitty Cheshire - Rebel(?) (she has a whole episode dedicated to the narrators trying to find out what she is, but officially she is classified as a Rebel) Lizzie Hearts - Royal The way they are classified is by whose side they support, so even tho Ashlynn currently has doubts she counts as a Royal because she supports her friend, which is supposed to contrast Maddie who likes her preplanned destiny and is probably gonna continue to try and follow it is a Rebel because she supports her friend

Kitty is a rebel, according to the info included with her doll so yeah you’re right about that. In lore though, she just doesn’t care about the whole royal or rebel thing.

The dating problem is not dating someone from another story in school, but the problem is dating between a Royal and a Rebel, kind of like the same plot of a popular and a nerd dating

It’s more that Hunter has a role. He’s a huntsman. Ashlynn is supposed to be with a prince. Not one with a role. Like main character of their story or something but a random unnamed prince. One of the Charmings.

I’m just waiting for you to get to the longer ones (thronecoming, spring unsprung, way to wonderland…) because those will probably make you appreciate some of these characters more. Especially Kitty and Apple (maybe)

So they I've always thought of it is Royal: Hero/good guy/royalty that wants to follow their destiny- Ex: Apple White Rebel: Villain/bad guy that doesn't want to follow their destiny - Ex: Raven Queen Rebel Royal: Royal/good guy that doesn't want to follow some part or all of their destiny - Ex: Ashlynn Ella Royal Rebel: Reble/bad guy that wants to follow their destiny - Ex: Evil Queen

Duchess is a Royal, but she is destined to meet her true love and turn into a swan until she the day she dies. I also believe she is like forced to watch as her true love falls for someone else.

Basically, if the parents are royalty, they're royals. If the parents are villains or peasants, they're rebels. It isn't determined by how they act, just who the parents are. So even if Ashlyn doesn't want to follow her predetermined destiny, she's still a royal, because Cinderella was royalty.

13:46 because dexter charming is the second born of the charming brothers, he would not take up the charming legacy, so is not bound to that destiny. I hope this helps explain it a bit :)

being a royal or a rebel is more of a self-identification label than something you get assigned as soon as you have any doubts in your destiny. swan hates her destiny but still wants to live a happily ever after in any way she can therefore she considers herself a royal even though she is not exactly perfectly complacent like apple. some royal characters have hidden doubts about their destiny too and everyone considers them a royal unless they announce otherwise or at the very least admit it to themselves that they're rebels

Being a rebel doesnt necessarily mean you want to deviate from your path. Lizzie and Kitty are rebels and still want to follow their paths all being a rebel means is that you're a villian or a character who just isnt royalty. Like Cedar wood or Maddie

What Apple meant by "frenemies" is more of friends now (in school) and enemies later (after graduation) Edit: Actually maybe not? after reading the class of classics comic and the flahsback in dragon games i'm pretty sure she actually means frenemies now in high school considering their moms' rivalries and competitions when they were students in Ever After High

To be fair in the book Apple White didn't care much about following storys until she fell down a well as a child cause she didn't do as she was told, that's part of why she wants people to do as their told cause if they don't they could get hurt. But also she does really believe what Grim said, that's why she thinks Raven is selfish ,cause to her Raven is sacrificing all their friends for a future that isn't even guaranteed. I do think Apple is in the wrong though.

It’s because the characters that are “royal” signed their name in the storybook of legends before Raven rebelled. So even if they disagree they basically already signed their futures away
@Angelfish705

I always saw royals as the people who conform to the storybook of legend and the rebels as the people who rebel. Like the daughter of the queen of hearts is a royal when maddie is a rebel

Apple being the only one brainwashed is so funny to me cause she’s probably the most miserable she just forces herself to be happy. Dragon Games makes her such a complex character.

The Swan girl’s story is probably derived from Swan Lake. A ballet where a girl (Odette) falls in love with a prince and an evil dude turns her into a swan, the white swan, and the evil guys daughter goes to a ball in her place to trick the prince as black swan. The prince is upset that it’s not Odette, goes out hunting and kills the white swan, and then kills himself. So that’s why the dancing swan girl doesn’t get a happy ending and can turn into a swan.

Duchess Swan’s story is Swan Lake, where she dies at the end of her story. She is considered a royal because she is a princess in her story however she doesn’t have a happily ever after. She wants to replace another royal that have a happily ever after

A clarification on Duchess and the rules of the universe (they don’t explain this properly in the series for a very, very long time, and just assume you know what they mean when they vague about it in True Heart’s Day): Duchess is a Royal. But her story sucks- she’s known since she was a baby that she is going to die* as the Swan Princess. But, you can technically “swap” stories by signing in someone else’s place. So, if she signs in Ashlynn’s place, she becomes the next Cinderella and doesn’t die, getting a happily ever after (again, they vague about this in the special when she talks about knocking Ashlynn down the Royal rankings and taking her place). They really take so long to clarify this! Duchess is trying to take Ashlynn’s place so that she doesn’t literally die. This isn’t considered rebellion, as she’s still in support of the system. She believes people should still have destinies, she just wants a better one for herself. Which while it makes her seem selfish, she is extremely traumatized from her upbringing (again, raised knowing she will die in the end) and is desperately bitter because of it. (Her book talks more about her mindset and makes her a really really good character! I recommend giving them a read) (*technically the Swan Princess doesn’t die in EAH canon, but gets turned into a swan for the rest of her life. As this is basically a living death to Duchess, I will refer to it as such anyways because imagine having to grow up knowing that)

Royal is someone who has a royal lineage (so technically Raven QUEEN is a royal but her “evil nature” trumps that. A rebel is anyone else (presents, villains, villagers, all their children would be considered rebels)
@juliaoliver6086

So a royal being with a rebel is basically like a princess marrying a butler that's why everyone would have an issue with hunter and ashlyn's relationship

I always assumed that any of the princes can get anyone that has a prince in their story. Like they're all trading cards in the stories. And it stops the incest concern.

Okay so with the charmings, I feel like Dexter being the second prince he kinda has or at least should have more leway on what ever he wants to do with his destiny. But because they are royals they are expected to go the royal way. And cupid is from monster high so she more than anyone should know everyone can choose their own destiny, especially since her own family/parents do this non stop( if we believe her story follows Greek mythology).

Oh yeah- something that might help make things make sense is that one of the narrators represent the royals (the woman) and another represents the rebels (the man) it’s something i only really noticed after a few re-watches of ever after high but if it’s not quite right let me know!

@jessicawaters7138
@jessicawaters7138 Год назад
For clarity, the division of royals and rebels occurred following the events of Legacy Day. Royals are those who want everyone to follow their destinies, and Rebels are those who want to choose their own destiny or who support others, like Raven, who want choose their own destiny. Before Legacy Day, there was a distinction for people who were outright royalty (although not a major divide as with the current Royals and Rebels). Dexter and Ashlynn fall into this first definition of Royals. But since practically all of the first definition Royals fall under the second definition, Dexter and Ashlynn are considered to be Royals despite not really abiding by the new definition. The exception to the first definition of Royals are those who are outright royalty but also the villain of their story.
