HelpRe: Britt's Once-Upon-a-Time Congrats
in reply to a message by britto08
UN: Starshelle
King: Robert Lucian III (28)
Queen: Rosabel (18)
(The queen has no middle name since she was born as a commoner and commoners did not typically have more than one name).
Tale: Rumpelstiltskin
There's not too many variations of the Rumpelstiltskin tale, but of course I'm going to expand on the events that happen at the end. ;) I'm also making up the name of the kingdom because I want wide range of freedom for my name choices.
Rosabel was born to a miller. Her father, eager to gain attention to himself, lied about how his daughter could spin straw into gold. Word of this reached the king, and he locked her into a room, threatening to execute her in three days if she could not. She despaired of her situation, but then a small gnomish creature appeared and offered to do it for her. First he did so in exchange for her necklace, then in exchange for her ring, and then finally on the third day when she had nothing else to give him, he made her promise to give her firstborn child to him.
The king was duly impressed and married her, and they were overjoyed to welcome their first child into their family. Then Rumpelstiltskin showed up and demanded the baby, but she begged him to reconsider. He told her she has three days to guess his name, and if successful, he'll forget the deal. Fortunately for the queen, a messenger of hers found Rumpelstiltskin's mountain home and overheard him singing about how he'll have the King's child because she won't be able to guess that his name is Rumpelstiltskin. The messenger relayed this information to the queen, and when she correctly guessed his name, he's so mad that he ended up tearing himself into half.
The queen so relieved he is gone! Fortunately for now, the king is plenty rich now and doesn't desire for his wife to do anymore weaving as that is not work fitting for queen, so he does not know about the miller's deception. She worries that if were to find out, he'd be angry and exile her or worse.
King Robert is not a kindly king; he is a very strict and harsh ruler of Camoria and is greedily eying the neighboring kingdom of Sunith, contemplating an invasion. Rosabel worries that he may at some point wish for her spin gold if the upcoming invasion is costly but hopes it won't come to that. For now she tries to focus on being a loving mother to her new baby.

You forgot the ages. Otherwise, interested to see how a marriage with a man who would kill her for not spinning gold will work out. I'll assume said baby Rumplestiltskin wants is the baby for round one and will be named there?

I find ages to be a hassle, so I don't usually like to bother with them, but since there will be writing for this one, I'll go ahead and edit my post and add them. Yes, I assumed the baby Rumpelstiltskin wanted would be the one from the first round, and I'll name it then.
