holy shit timothy's book is a leitner

[islandoforder]

making all these figures from tales of happy ever after tragic figures is like. so good. so sad. king cole is such a broken character, bc he’s suffered so much but also bc his archetype has literally been broken…. masterfully done mr. mulligan

marigold “goldi” gamboge

she/her

- story: goldilocks/the goose girl

- race: human (mark of storm half-elf reskin)

- class: circle of the shepherd druid

- princess of a small kingdom called filigree

pre ep 4:

- as a young child she did the whole goldilocks story in the woods just outside of her castle

- when she turned 16 she began the journey to marry her prince with her handmaid and talking horse (falada)

- was tricked by her handmaid into switching places and acted as the castle’s goose girl for a year

- developed a close friendship with conrad and was able to have a hush hush courtship with the prince though he still didn’t know her true identity

- the time of shadows came before her story was over

- her handmaid, still posing as a princess ordered conrad executed and had her exiled from the kingdom

in between worlds:

- wakes up in the field where she used to shepherd the geese

- falada is there as her guide

- when they are walking to the next world, falada reminds her that while it will be worse, she has already overcome terrible circumstances

- when her memories merge, it’s the memories of getting married to the prince and her handmaid getting the punishment from the story (placed in a barrel with nails and dragged behind horses through the town square)

post ep 4:

- has a bearskin cloak from her young encounter with the bears

- conrad is still alive in this version

- her story completed in this version almost exactly like the original grimm’s story but her prince seems utterly uninterested in her once they’re married

- no one in the castle takes her seriously (they think a princess so easily tricked has no place making decisions for the kingdom especially in times of war despite her being perfectly capable)

- before she meets back up with the party she disguises herself as conrad and fights in the war, but is found out and ordered by her husband to stay out of his battles

- uses this as a loophole to meet up with the party and fight her own battles
