this sounds really interesting! I want to have a male magic user, mostly because I really want to you Tom Felton AKA Draco Malfoy as the Faceclaim, but there aren't many evil male wizards in stories, has there? :P

Koschei the Deathless in Russian fairy tales, which is quite possibly the most bad ass name in folklore.

Ah, thanks for the idea! :D

Bekah Boo

Player Name: Bekah Boo
Character Name/Identity: Thumbelina or Maia when formal
Tale of Origin:Thumbelina
Alignment: Lawfully Good
Abilities: Able to shift to various sizes ranging from the size of an small fairy to the fifty feet though it does vary to what extent and ability due to emotional stance, if filled with fear or anxiety Maia may shift without realizing.
Skills: Has become quite the skilled fencer, both with sword and needle in both differing heights. Also has the uncanny talent of reading animal tracks as well as navigation.
Backstory: There once was an old woman who more than anything in the world wanted a child of her own, an perfect being she could love and cherish in her lonely life.She had been left heartbroken and alone after the passing of her dear husband that while they had indeed grown into their twilight years together they sadly were not able to conceive a child.That was why each and every night the old widow would take her place right by the window, and by the light of a widdled candle she would pray to the glowing moon for one simple wish; a child.Each night she would wish and wish with all her might, but alas she was always left empty no matter how hard she yearned.That was until one fateful evening when the moon was at it's fullest, the old woman nearly at her wits end made one last teary wish that the man of the moon would grant her.When the morning sun had finally rose the old widow stirred from her resting place having fallen asleep by the windowsill the night prior, that when she had woke she found a small figure resting just at her fingertips simply curled up and slumbering just as peacefully as she had been.Overjoyed the widow marveled in the small lithe girl who was no bigger than her own thumb, whose whispy locks of gentle spun gold and wide doe like eyes full of peridot made her reflect fondly of the angel that had been sent to her, the widow finally having her wish granted by the moon itself as she lovingly named the small girl Thumbelina.

The widow doted everything on her new child who was wide eyed and curious as each day they would set out on adventures to teach the girl the world she knew nothing of, from towers of books to seeing the babbling brook nearby Thumbelina was oh so curious and each day she yearned to see more of what she did not know. As time passed the two enjoyed one another's company and truly had become an loving family, but fate had it's own gnarled hand to thrust into the fold as the winter month began so did the widow's time on this earth. Stricken down with sickness the widow was unable to move as fast as she used to, old weary bones and fatigue taking much out of the old soul as she became bedridden and worse for wear. Thumbelina would read what she was taught to her mother figure in hopes she could heal the widow to see that warm smile on her pale lips once more, but as the days turned into weeks the girl found her mother withering away much like the dying leaves of the old elm just outside.One night the widow weakly begged for Thumbelina to come to her side as she took the small girl into her palm to hold close one last time, cradling the child against her leathery cheek as the droplets of her tears ran down her cheek like a flowing river. The widow knew her time was indeed short as on her last dying breath she told Thumbelina to explore the world for the both of them, to take all the life lessons she had been taught and grow into the lovely young woman she knew she could be.

Having been brought into the world from nothing Thumbelina was left devastated at the passing of her mother who had nurtured and taught her so much, the girl at a loss of what to do with herself as she took her mother's dying wish to heart. Stepping out into the world was something that brought much fear and anxiety to the young woman who was no bigger than a mouse, the girl traveling for what felt like days until she had come across an eccentric frog and her gaggle of sons out by the brook she used to explore with her mother.Having nearly walked herself to near death in her depression and painful loss the frog mother took the young girl in and brought her back to health, doting on the fairy like child much like her human mother had as it soothed the aching hole left within her life for a short time. Though fate once more would test the young Thumbelina as the kindness she was shown began to run dry, the frog mother finding for Thumbelina to repay her debt she now owed she must marry her son. The frog repulsed young Thumbelina as she cried out for any other way she may repay her debt, but the frog mother would not budge as she herself was desperate to marry her son off to a being she felt was deserving of him. That was when Thumbelina decided to run away in the dead of winter, that freezing to death was an better option than to be married to someone she knew in her heart she could not ever love.

The young girl ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her, the hot burn of her tears flowing across her wind bitten features as she fought against the powerful wind and sleet itself, becoming numb to everything around herself as she sobbed.Her soft cries however were heard not by an animal but rather a passing fairy in the flesh, the small man lured by the melodic cry that sounded so sad and yet so beautiful all at the same time.Coming across a young woman so ethereal and captivating left the male fairy in a stupor, the man introducing himself as Phillip the prince of the fairies as he marveled in the beauty of a creature he had never seen before. He showed her kindness and warmth that Thumbelina had only known with her human mother and for that she began to fall madly in love with the fairy prince, taking her back to his kingdom nestled within the lush bed of flowers and nature itself to show Thumbelina to beings much like herself.With every passing day their love for one another grew as they battled with both wit and grace, the prince an famed fencer as he made it a point to show his love the finer details of the art of defense and battle so that they would grow closer and closer together. The couple were to be wed in the springtime when the flowers were at the fullest bloom, a day Thumbelina knew her mother would have cherished to see as the impending day grew closer and closer. With Phillip by her side Thumbelina was given a new name, Maia, and she would start her new life of happiness and more love than she could have ever expected.

Fate however would once more rear it's ugly head as but a day before their wedding tragedy would strike. It would transpire during the late glow of a fine spring midnight moon, the horrible cry of war soon plaguing the fairy kingdom as the slimy and green faced monsters of her past had come to reap war across the peaceful kingdom in the name of their own ruler Rumplestiltskin. The frogs held their vendetta against the fairies for some time, the scorned suitor of Thumbelina leading the ranks to lay waste to the fairies and claim his prize without mercy.The fairies fought with all their might but were outnumbered by the vast tact and forces of the frogs who were cruel and revengeful, Phillip turning to his love ushered Maia to flee as he fought hand and hand along side his kingdom. Sadly the prince would perish in the flames of war, the frog commander dealing the fatal blow before his lover as Maia cried out in anguish. The moon had not wanted this for his precious gift of life and in the early wane he gave Thumbelina one last wish, a gift that would allow her to vanquish the frogs once and for all.

The moon granted Thumbelina the gift of changing her size as the once small woman grew to epic proportions in the matter of a moment, her towering form soon raising high above the rose bush that was the fairy kingdom as all those who looked on were horrified. Vanquish them she did as in a fit of anger Thumbelina smashed every last frog she saw beneath her feet, using all her fury and anger to end them once and for all until there was nothing but silence that filled the warm spring night. Collapsing onto her knees Thumbelina wept for her lost love, for her future and happiness that had been snatched from her,but there was something that she had also been given. She now appeared as a human much like her mother, and with such an ability she knew what she had to do.She had to seek revenge for her Phillip, to conquer this Rumplestiltskin and end his reign of evil once and for all. From then on Maia set out to learn her abilities and to train herself to prepare for the war the evil had caused, she would explore her gift and once ready she would take him on to set the balance of good and evil back in place.


Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance:

Tokyorose627

Since their wasn't much on Koschei's childhood or motivations, I ended up making my own interpretation of his life, and included the story itself as one of his encounters as a young man.

Player Name: Tokyorose627

Character Name/Identity: Koschei, Peter Romanov (Alias)

Tale of Origin: Koschei the Deathless

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Personality: Koschei can seem like a cold and calculating individual, serious looking and someone that would look as if they would not wished to be bothered with at any moment. He's calculating and observing, but usually is quiet unless otherwise told to speak, or has something on his mind. He doesn't like when others dance around their questions, and usually speaks straight forwards in order to get whatever someone wants from him out of their mouths so he can give them an answer or not. However, despite him being in such a way, Koschei does have humanity still left in him. He can still feel hope, empathy, sorrow, happiness, and even love, but such feelings had never been given to him by his parents, and as a result, such feelings dwindle away inside him, swallowed by the darkness of his parents abuse, and his own actions against them, that he has been through.


Abilities: Able to use spells and magic to his advantage. His magic includes teleportation magic, elemental magic, and magic that can manipulate the shape and form of his own body to that of an animals. He has books on other forms that are forbidden to use, such as magic that causes illusions of one's most inner darkness or fear, or even curses and hexes that torture the victims to the point of insanity, but Koschei uses them only when he feels they should be used.

Skills:

Persuasion: Able to persuade individuals to do things for him due to his outer charm and likable demeanor when in normal clothes, despite his kind and caring nature actually being a facade to have people get things for him, or to have them do things that they would otherwise not do. Despite this, he can be kind and caring, but has not found an individual who has interested him in such a way.

Education: Despite his parent's constant abuse towards him, Koschei was given the best and brightest education their family could afford. Reading books on the magical realm and the human realm, Koschei was given the education that his family wanted of him, learning of different magicks, as well as culture and manners. He knows how to speak three different languages, has manners befitting of a gentleman, and even knows how to dance; however, skills like these have never been needed for him.

Knowledge on Magical Creatures: Due to his knowledge on magic, it's only fair that Koschei would know about magical creatures, needing some ingredients that come from such beasts for spells and incantations. He has a book with multiple recordings of creatures and magical beasts that he has either seen or come across, and continues to write them down for future knowledge if ever the information was needed.

Language: Koschei is able to speak a few different languages, from Russian, French, and even different forms of English, however he's most fluent in English and Russian.

Offensive Skills: Koschei, unable to rely on magic all the time, ended up teaching himself how to use a sword in case his magic was taken or unable to be used. He's become good at fencing an normal sword fighting, and has used it on some occasions.

Familiar: In order to spy for Rumplestiltskin while he is otherwise indisposed of, Koschei's family crest inked to his arm is actually a summoning spell for a Snake Familiar. By simply holding out his arm, the mark from his arm drips off his skin like thick ink, creating a large, imposing snake that Koschei can control and manipulate at will. From moving it to different locations at fast speeds, to being able to see through it's eyes, Koschei is versed in the magical arts when it comes to familiars, and uses it to his advantage whenever possible or necessary.

Backstory: Koschei's life growing up was anything but happy. Born to a wealthy mother and father that were both versed in magic, Koschei was equally bound by family tradition to take on the responsibilities of learning the craft like they had. He originally didn't want to, but from the strict teachings of his parents, which even include beatings or starvation, Koschei was forced into the family tradition of learning the magical arts, unwillingly. Lessons were hard for Koschei, as he could tell that his parents wanted him to become a great wizard and magic user, going to extremes to make sure he would get spells and incantations down correctly. Beating him, verbally abusing him, even going so far as to not let him eat or sleep until they were satisfied, Koschei kept going despite what he was put through, his mind starting to warp tremendously down a dark path of wanting revenge, his thoughts aiming towards his parents and wanting nothing more then to make them stop; permanently. His childhood was soon taken from him, and as he grew older, his magic improved like his parents had wanted. Becoming a well versed magic user himself, he was made to use spells and magic for others to get money for his parents, who had squandered their wealth for frivolous purposes, leaving them with almost nothing. Night after night, day after day, Koschei would spend his time being forced to do work for his parents, until at the age of a young man, a dream had given him the inspiration to enact his revenge, a voice in his nightmares telling him to finally take what he wanted.

While they slept on night, Koschei took his magic out on his parents, using the darkest of arts to torture them for hours on end, to make them suffer for what they had put him through, and then ended their lives as soon as his revenge had been finished. Burning their bodies, Koschei was free to do what he wished, but the damage form his parents had been done. Having not felt one ounce of love or trust from his family, Koschei began to spend his life doing terrible things just as his parents had, from stealing coin and jewels, to killing bandits and other filth that dared get in his way to try to kill him. Escaping death every time from people who tried to oppose him, and killing anyone who tried to end his life, he was given the title "Koschei the Deathless", for no warrior or hero had been able to kill the man. Even the heoric Ivan from his home of Russia had come to kill him after Koschei dare kidnap his wife, however the Hero had died from underestimating Koschei's abilities, and after, killed Ivan's friends, sisters, and even his wife soon after, so none would dare try to stop him.

Stories of what he had done had become stories to other, unable to comprehend that such a man could not be killed by some lone hero. Described in stories to be a ugly, disgusting vile man, Koschei lets the stories wonder villages and cities, now reveling in such recognition at the fact that people are afraid of his power and what he has done. Only the bravest would come to find him, and only the most idiotic of people would come to ask for his services, yet he still travels the world for some form of purpose.

Hearing of Rumplestiltskin had caused Koschei no harm or ill-will at first, the magic user simply not caring of a man that would wish to rule all kingdoms as long as he had his safe haven within the forests. However one night he had heard the man speak, had seen Rumplestiltskin with his own eyes, and had found that the voice was familiar. The voice that he had heard in his nightmares, the one that had told him to embrace darkness, to kill his parents, to revel in what his parents had made him; it had been him, Rumplestiltskin. Koschei was speechless, but also grateful, and set his sights on having an audience with the man, and to join his cause, soon becoming one of his followers in his blind attempt in showing his loyalty, unaware of his mind soon coming to realize what he had done, before it was too late.

However, despite everything that had happened, in the back of Koschei's mind, he wonders why he had become such a vile person to join Rumplestiltskin, despite his morals still remaining; he has killed others that have gotten in his way, yet he does not harm women or children, and if a sickly person were to wander on his doorstep, he would take them in to give them medicine and rest until they had fully recovered. He secretly longs for companionship, but the darkness has warped his mind for far too long; only someone of extreme kindness could help his poor soul see the light in things, rather then darkness.

Orientation: Heterosexual

Appearance: Koschei, unlike the stories and tales told of him, is a handsome young man, with short blonde hair, and with piercing ocean blue eyes. Not wanting to show his face to people that he does not know or trust, he wears a long black cloak with a hood, as well as a mask made of pure metal carved in the shape of a skull, with holes for his eyes; the outfit itself is what gave him the title, "Koschei the Deathless", and "The Dark One". Along his right forearm is an inked mark of a skull releasing a serpent from it's mouth, the marking Koschei's family crest given to him by his father. Made by magic, it reminds Koschei of his family and his beginnings, and now uses it on his victims as a calling card for others that wish to kill him, even going so far as to put the mark on others he has killed.

Foxy DeVille

Let's see if this works for ya. Mainly inspired by the original tale but I kept the name name Jasmine from the Disney film because it works with her place of origin and is a heck of a lot easier to spell than Badroulbadour...

Player Name: Foxy Oni
Character Name/Identity: Princess Jasmine (Mo Li in her native tongue)
Tale of Origin: Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Abilities: Princess Jasmine wears a bracelet that contains the magic ring that formerly belonged to her husband. Thanks to magical tinkering it grants her the power of a genie, although one much less powerful than the genie of the lamp. Her abilities include...
  Physical Augmentation: She has peak human strength, agility, and endurance. Jasmine no longer needs to eat or sleep and is immune to natural cold. She recovers from harm quickly, what takes two days for a normal human only takes her an hour.
  Flight: Jasmine can move through the air at approximately 45 mph. She can fly at twice that speed if she pushes herself but that is like sprinting for a human and can only do so for half a minute before tiring out. Jasmine is quite maneuverable and can stop or change direction with ease.
  Invisibility: She is capable of vanishing from sight. This takes concentration so action like attacking someone cause her to become visible.
  Cloud Form: Jasmine can transform herself into mist, making it difficult to physically attack her and allowing her to flow through small openings. She can only maintain this form for a total of one hour per day.
  Shape-shifting: She can take the appearance of any humanoid creature. Jasmine can double her height, making her capable of lifting half a ton and her flesh as durable as tough leather.
  Illusion-casting: Three times a day Jasmine can create a mirage up to thirty cubic feet in size that lasts for twenty minutes. It can effect sight, hearing and sound, and even mimic heat or cold, but it can never directly harm someone. Her mirages can take complicated actions although this requires concentration on her part.
  Senses: Her eyes can see in low light and detect the aura of magic.
These powers are not without drawback. Other than the bracelet, her powers only effect Jasmine herself. So she usually wears minimal clothing that can be discarded if he wishes to turn invisible or become a cloud. The bracelet itself is both the source of her power and her greatest weakness. She not only need it to use her genie abilities but if it falls into some else hand she becomes their slave.
Skills: As a princess Jasmine has been educated in political and cultural affairs. She is also quite manipulative. In order to protect herself from enemies of her father, Jasmine received training in the martial arts.
Backstory: Princess Jasmine hails from a kingdom in the Far East where she was a princess. A young thief named Aladdin use the power of the genie within a magic lamp to defeat an evil sorcerer and win her hand in marriage. But their story didn't end there. While some tales present the princess and as a kind and virtuous girl, the truth was Jasmine was spoiled and vain. Her husband's humble origins began to bother her. She also felt he was foolish not to use the power at his fingertips to achieve more. When she heard word of Rumpelstiltskin and his plans of conquest she began scheming. Jasmine convinced Aladdin to give her his magic ring that contained a weaker genie than the one in the lamp so she could protect herself if the evil elsewhere spread to their kingdom. It was too big for her hand so she melded it with one of her bracelets. Jasmine studied the books of the sorcerer who had given Aladdin the ring and learned to bond the genie with her own soul. Now possessing great power, Princess Jasmine left her kingdom to join the forces of evil.   
Orientation: A decadent women, Princess Jasmine takes pleasure in all genders.
Appearance: Although from The Arabian Nights, her tale is said to take place in Far East. Hence she is portrayed by Tera Patrick.

Koschei sounds neat, kind of like a Dorian Grey almost, but with magic too.

Making Jasmine evil, also neat, didn't see that coming.

I also hope someone picks up Puss in Boots, I would myself but I envision the character in this scenario being female and I'm not good at playing female characters. I'll assume the role of Rumplestiltskin if nobody wants it since he's the arch villain and it kind of can't proceed without him. But the bright side is, since we're not following the movie's scenario exactly, we don't necessarily need a Snow White. I will, however, stipulate that even if it's not tied to her powers if someone does claim her, she has at some point activated a magic mirror link between her wicked stepmother's mirror-on-the-wall and other mirrors of choice so that certain of her trusted allies can utilize ones closer to them for quick warp-style travel. That way there's wiggle room for travel not taking forever since it's either horseback or on foot. Unless you've got a magic carpet or flying dragon or enchanted cloud. Or if you've got enchanted boots that make you run fast or you can turn into a giant and each step is hundreds of feet.

Awesome! Was wondering for evil characters, is there a label system? Like someone is Rumplesriltskins right hand man? Or only a lackey?

That, is up to you. Where do you feel you should rank in his hierarchy? But do note that it would tend to go based on the utility and strength of their powers, unless they had other talents (great strategic intelligence, for instance.)

Ah, MKay! Was wondering if Koschei's could be Rumple's right hand man, or his admiral of sorts.

I have no objections, but if someone else is playing a character who wants that same spot, you'll have to discuss it between yourselves and negotiate about either sharing or deciding who's second and third banana.

I see Jasmine as being a valued agent but not exactly executive material. She's more into showing off her powers and living a hedonistic life than planning world conquest.

Well she'll probably be in close proximity to where I see Rumplestiltskin making his rise to prominence since my origin for him has him hailing from the desert (he'll be a former Djinn) so she might be a close witness to his great act of evil that puts the rest of the world on edge.

No prob! I'm fine with discussing if anyone wants the spot as well. :3

I'm sure she and Koschei would have an interesting relationship, since they're both working for this mostly evil guy that wants to rule all the kingdoms. lol xD

I guess I should note for Koschei however is that he's not purely evil, but more like he's just been given so much evil and hatred and abuse that he's never felt any actual love or kindness from someone before. So he's kind of just strayed onto a darker path to make more sense; that's to say, he could always end up switching sides, or having to choose! Though it depends if anyone can break away that cold, icy barrier that lets him accept any form of affection or kindness from others. D:

Unfortunately, the price of serving Rumplestiltskin is eternal loyalty. Betrayal will be met with a swift end, so entering into a contract with him if you're not 100% sure it's what you will always want can be regretful...but only if you get caught.  >:)

Ah, I see! Well who knows, maybe no one will want to get to know him! Or even want to help him turn to the good side! XD

But we shall see!

Mathim

That would probably make him question their loyalty, so tread carefully.

I think I'll get an OOC and character profile thread up and running tomorrow. Hopefully one or two more people will join or become interested in the next 24 hours.

Just sent Mathim my profile from the last try we did, just had to add in some stuff and edit some stuff out, the profile was too good to just throw out, I am so glad I kept it. Using Kristen Kreuk as a face claim, she's so totally gorgeous.

Interesting choice! I wonder if she'll be a good guy or a bad guy! Though knowing Snow White, she would be on the good side. lol

I hope people like my character! He's on the evil side, but he still has some questions about what he's done that his mind can't seem to be rid of, and that could be dangerous when you have to be loyal to Rumplestiltskin! D:

LamentingQuill

Animal speech- Snow White can understand what animals are saying. Insects, aquatic denizens and reptiles are harder to understand than mammals, she has no idea why.

Daggers- All the dagger and knife lessons the huntsman gave her make Snow White no helpless damsel. She is lethal in a dagger/knife fight.

Agility- Snow White is swift and agile on her feet, years of training and practice has made speed and grace as natural as breathing to the fair princess.

Weaknesses: Insomnia- After the sleeping curse cast upon her by her stepmother, Snow White doesn't have such an easy time sleeping anymore, always terrified she will be trapped in the world of sleep once again. She gets sleep, just probably not as much as she should be getting.

To enemies (evil individuals)- Snow White will not tolerate the dark of heart, she will not suffer their wickedness or allow them to do harm to anyone around her if she had the breath left in her to do something about it. She could be open to helping a willing individual reform, but she would be highly suspicious until she knows for certain whether or not it's real.

For the truly wicked, Snow White would be ruthless and determined to stop them before they could harm any  more good innocent people than they may already have.

To strangers- Having experienced what happens when you too readily completely trust a stranger, Snow White has logically become a little bit more stand offish than she used to be, though that is not to see she is cold or stoic. She would simply be cautious, but friendly and polite.

History and Backstory:

Lovely Snow White, so beautiful that she earned the deep seeded hatred of her vain stepmother... something that would alter Snow White's life forever.

She always suspected her stepmother had something to do with it when her father suddenly fell ill and died, the woman struck her as too power hungry and ambitious, not to mention that she never really showed her father the tender love she always felt should be present in a marriage...

Her suspicions of her stepmother proved correct when the woman ordered her huntsman to take her out deep into the forest and carve out her heart, all because the queen's magic mirror declared Snow White to be the fairest of all maidens... taking from the queen her coveted desire to rule as the most beautiful woman in all the land...

However, once they were deep in the forest and the huntsman raised his dagger, his heart swelled with all the tender affection from watching this sweet young woman grow up and he realized... he could not do this...
Instead, he told the princess everything and together they devised a plan, he would carve out the heart of boar and take it back to the queen and Snow White would be free to escape and live her life wherever she so chose. The huntsman even took the time to return the forest several times to give Snow White lessons in using daggers to their fullest potential, ensuring the princess at least stood a chance in this world at defending herself.

However, this was not clever enough to evade the wicked queen... with the help of the magic mirror, the queen discovered the heart brought before her was not that of Snow White, but the heart of a pig! She had been tricked!
The queen had the huntsman executed for his treachery and immediately put plans in motion to take care of the lovely Snow White herself.

Three times she tried, first with an enchanted sash that nearly squeezed Snow White to death before her seven small friends arrived to cut it off of her, the second time was poison comb that drugged the princess into a slumber, but again her dwarf friends arrived home just in time to pull the comb from her hair before it was too late. Finally, deciding play time was over, the queen poisoned an apple and disquised herself as a frail kindly old woman whom was lost in the woods.

Snow White, with her kind and tender heart, was sympathetic to what she thought was a frightened old woman and invited her inside, accepting the old woman's offer to split one of the apple's in her basket in thanks for the kind hopsitality in her moment of fear.
Far too trusting, Snow White bit into the apple and immediately fell into a death-like sleep, a sleep so deep that the dwarves would believe she was truly dead, the princess would likely starve to death before anyone discovered the truth.

Satisfied with her work, the queen left the dwarves cottage just in time to hide around back as the dwarves were arriving home from the mine, their wails of despair filling the cottage as they believed their beloved princess was truly struck down this time by her jealous stepmother.
Enraged, the dwarves immediately left the cottage and soon found the disguised queen hunched down behind their cottage, she stood no chance against the angry dwarves as they turned their pick axes upon her in vengeance for their precious Snow White.

The dwarves then set to work constructing a gorgeous crystal coffin worthy of their sweet friend, laying her to rest in her favorite wild flower filled clearing deep in the forest, where they could visit her every single day after work.
Days passed and then a miracle happened, a handsome prince by the name of Florian was riding through the forest when he spotted Snow White's glittering crystal coffin, seven drawves knelt in front of it in mourning.

The prince slid down from his horse and approached, mesmerized by the breathtaking young beauty within, his heart broke as the dwarves explained to the prince what had happened to the beautiful maiden.
He made a single request to the dwarves, that he should be able to send the lovely princess off to the hereafter with a kiss of love, for his heart had been captured.

Deciding it couldn't hurt to grant the prince his request, the dwarves opened up the lid to Snow White's crystal resting place and allowed him to approach and say his sweet goodbye.
However... the moment the prince's lips touched the cool lips of Snow White, a soft warm breeze swirled around the clearing and Snow White's eyelids slowly fluttered open, a gentle smile curving her lips... standing above her was the prince from the dreams she'd had in this cursed sleep... he had come after all to save her...

Snow White and her prince were immediately married, no couple in all the land was happier or more in love... but this beautiful romance... it was not to last...

Her beloved husband and king, her sweet Florian... he was slain in battle against a risen foe by the name of Rumplestilskin... leaving the young queen with a deep ache in her heart and thirst for vengeance! She would accept nothing less than Rumple's head rolling across the ground, just like he'd done to her darling Florian...

Sexual Stuff: I am totally on board to have Snow White enter into a new romance, her wounded heart could use some healing that can only come from love.

My big no no's are all included in my o/o's in the link on my signature, along with my on's.

Snow White is heterosexual and is not open to threesomes, she's a one man only commitment type of girl.

Story-Related Suggestions: I'd love to see the attraction to Snow White that Rumple had in the movie, but it's by no means a requirement, I can totally live without it, would simply be fun is all.
