Description

Personality

Rapunzel has a need to keep things organized. She is also rather strict about the treatment of the base, and regularly patrols each of the passages. She is a very thorough person. Due to her negative experiences with towns corrupted by the Queen’s rule, and also her lack of human contact, she sometimes has difficulty expressing her feelings or communicating effectively. She also has a tendency to talk to herself, driven a little mad from years of confined solitude. Despite her fear of being alone, her previous isolation has caused her to become a very solitary person. She is very untrusting of others. However, you can tell she is making an effort to connect with others. She wants to learn about her past before the tower, but her first goal is to experience the happy times she did not get to see – the times before the evil queen.

Equipment

Rapunzel’s equipment consists of her hair, and a large storage of herbs that can be used for healing or creating toxins. She also possesses several prototypes of weapons and traps of her own design.

History

Rapunzel’s memories begin in a large tower with one high window, standing in a field of rapunzel. She could not even remember her own name nor her age – though she was quite young at the time. Her hair had been long, but not long enough use to escape from the tower. Though there were several hidden passages, there were no entrances to the outside world. She spent years in solitude, speaking to herself, barely surviving on withered plants and mice from the tower. One day, the teenage Rapunzel met a little boy who became her first friend, and the one who discovered that her hair was now long enough to reach the ground. The little boy soon began to visit constantly, and tell her stories about the outside world – she was too scared to leave at the time. He was the son of a medic, and also taught Rapunzel about all kinds of herbs. He was also the one to give her the name Rapunzel. One day, she looked out the tower and saw a wasteland. What terrified the poor girl more, was a strange voice calling out, ”Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair.’ When she peeked out, she saw the witch singing below, with her friend’s half devoured body. Horrified, she locked herself into a passage until the voice faded away.

Weeks later, after her initial shock and grief faded, a bitter anger took its place. In that time, she had regressed to the time before she met the boy, speaking to herself with a slipping grip on sanity - though now she had a name. She used her hair and left her tower – and found herself terrified of being alone. In a panic, she ran, and met with all the deceit of the world in her naivety until she found the Rebellion. By this time, Rapunzel had black hair - dyed as a result of constant nightmares of the witch's song - and she had seen too much of the cruel world under the Queen’s rule. She longs to see the world her friend had told her of, the cheerful times before the evil ruler. She also hopes for revenge for her friend...
