Rumpelstiltskin(I changed my mind about the original age I selected for the queen. Women usually married young in medevial settings, so at the beginning of the story she is 16, but turns 17 while pregnant. )
UN: Starshelle
King: Robert Lucian III (29)
Queen: Rosabel (17)
Princess: Junia "Juniper" Catherine
Tale: RumpelstiltskinThe third day came and the king arrived to the tower where she had been locked within. To his surprise and delight he found her with the straw spun into gold. Immediately, he made the decision to marry Rosabel and make her Camoria's next queen. He did not ask her consent to marry though. After all, nobody lest of all common miller's daughter, says no to the king. The marriage was a fabulous, decadent affair, and the nobles who attended could not believe that Rosabel was a commoner."She is far too beautiful to have been born to common stock." Rosabel overheard one woman said. She blushed terribly at the words, for she never thought herself to be beautiful, but the servants did tame her unruly thick brown hair, so it cascaded down her back in waves. White roses were her favorite flower, and so she wore a crown of them about her head. Her dress is blue, the color of the sky, trimmed in gold, the colors of the Camoria kingdom. Her father did not appear at the wedding, a fact which relieved Rosabel. She was so furious at him for putting her in this situation in the first place, that she did not bother to ask why he was not present. Some duke lead down the hall and into the massive throne room where everyone was gathered and craned their necks to spot the new, young woman who was soon to be their queen.King Robert looked so regal and the doublet he wore—navy blue trimmed with gold, the very same gold she supposedly weaved—indicated a muscular physique underneath. On his head he wore a large golden crown with rare blue diamonds and smaller white and yellow ones. For all his cruelness, willing executing an innocent girl for a foolish lie her father told, Rosabel still could not deny his raw attractiveness.

--Duchess: Muirne Philemona Delphine (nb)
Tale: The White WolfOne year after Rudolph and Ariadne's wedding, the two of them are now living happily in the castle in the woods, enjoying their tranquil life. It was a fine existence for Ariadne, and she loved the long-lost sensations, the walks she took with her husband in the gardens surrounding the castle, listening to the forest's birds chirping, and all the wonderful things she can do there. It was not a surprise, then, when Ariadne found herself pregnant.One day, when Ariadne was pregnant with her child, she took a lonely walk into the surrounding woods. It was not uncommon for her to venture into the castle's exterior, but it was indeed unusual for Rudolph not to accompany her. He was busied with messengers, and Ariadne was more than glad to have a solitary trip instead of sitting on the fancy throne in the castle! But when she had barely entered the woods, Ariadne met an old haggard woman."There goes the wolf's bride," the old hag screeched when she saw her. "She walks alone, yet not alone, for there is something within."Ariadne was frightened, and with good cause, for the hag had flowing white hair and long, thin fingers, reminding her of a witch. "Who are you, woman?" Ariadne asked."I am the wolf-maker," the hag cackled. When she saw Ariadne's confusion, she said even louder: "What! You think your husband became a wolf of his own accord? No, he is a firstborn son - and every firstborn son in this land is given to me, to make a wolf! So will yours, when he is born."Ariadne was terrified. She spun round and ran away as fast as her feet could carry her. When she reached the castle, she grasped Rudolph and told him about the old hag in the woods. He admitted that he, too, was a firstborn son taken by the witch. She had, Rudolph said, given him the white wolf's fur, saying that until he finds true love, he will be compelled to wear the fur and become a wolf every night. Now that he has found Ariadne, his curse is broken and he is no longer required to transform, but he fears that their firstborn son will have to endure the same.

Joining. The Princess and the Tin BoxDH: Emyr Ahmet Hakan, Crown Prince of Belasta (22)
DW: Abha Devi Durga, Princess of Xa'ant (19)
-DD: Shobha Kumari Hazan (nb)
Tale: The Princess and the Tin Box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Tin_Box) Labor was long and painful for Princess Abha, but after nearly forty hours of labor she gave birth to a healthy baby daughter, Shobha. Abha was worried that the strain of childbirth would threaten her status as the most beautiful woman on the continent. This made her not want to have any more children. Her husband, knowing that she loves presents more than people, commissioned the construction of an eight-foot-tall jewel-encrusted tree where visitors would hang their gifts when they came to visit the princess and see the new baby. The thought of so many gifts gave the princess a glow that made her even prettier than she had been before. So many gift-bearing visitors poured in that the three filled up. Those that would not fit were placed into the box Emyr had given her as an engagement present. The box expanded to accommodate them. Now Abha is more than ready to consider having another child.

Born in spring, Princess Myfanwy Tiwlip, known by all as simply Princess Tulip, has been enchanted by a young sorceress who lives near the seven dwarves and who is a good friend of the dwarves and of Emrys and Snow White. Tulip has been blessed with the joy of spring, the voice of the birds (not literally...), the beauty of the fields. Emrys and Snow White are glad, at least, that this time it's not Disgleirio.

_____________________________________________________________________________________Adam, after years of fear over the succession of Renoir, was welcomed back with open arms. King Etienne and Queen Jacqueline welcomed Belle the same way, never once saying anything about her being a commoner. All they saw was the incomparably beautiful and brave young woman who had saved their beloved only child. They saw how deeply in love the two were, and gave them a glorious wedding. All of Belle's family was there, and the king and queen showered them with rich gifts as well, even ordering the building of a comfortable new home on their land. Adam and Belle spent their time between her family, his family, and their own palace in the forest. Belle was popular with the people for her kindness and sharp intelligence and simply for beign one of them. They also loved her beauty: she was applauded for her thick dark hair, sparkling blue eyes with impossibly long lashes, and exquisite features almost as much as she was for the plans for a public university she put forth. It was a happy life, and to their delight Belle soon discovered she was pregnant! The two couldn't have been happier with one another, and the kingdom rejoiced to have an heir before the prince even took the throne.
