hmm well. I fear with the name Elena and that red dress that she might come off as a bit of a rip off of Catherine Zeta Jones from Mask of Zorro.
Fairytale : The Wild Swans Von Hans Christian Anderson
Plot: There's a King with six/eleven sons and a youngest daughter. After his wife dies he unknowingly remarries a woman who is a witch. When the king falls ill, in an attempt to seize the throne, she turns all the sons into swans and banishes the daughter to the forest. In order to break the spell, the Princess is gegeben a task of weaving shirts made from stinging nettles picked from a graveyard but must do so in utter silence. (very hard since she wasn't good at weaving, knitting oder sewing) A king comes along, falls in Liebe with her, takes her to his castle, tries to woo her, but she cannot speak and keeps working. His bishop accuses her of being a witch when he spots her in a graveyard getting Mehr nettles. She is sentenced to burn at the stake and on the way she continues to knit in silence. At the last Sekunde the swans come flying in, she throws the shirts on them and they turn into human. Except...the youngest brother still has wings because she wasn't able to finish his sleeves. Everyone thinks he's an angel, the princes return to their kingdom and the princess who can at last talk marries the king and, having heard of her sacrifice (and marriage), gains the respect and admiration of her father.
Personality: Mehr oder less a tomboy (having 6 brothers and all). Never particularly good and things like embroidery, knitting, cooking, cleaning, etc. Dearly loves her brothers (especially the youngest). Has no problem with dresses and long hair but also has no problem getting them all dirty.
Parents: 1) Dead Mother.
2) Father. Excellent king, absent father. Spends all his time teaching the sons about politics and believes his daughter’s only duty is to be married off. Has no other expectations of her.
3)Stepmother. Not necessarily evil but very jealous of the attention the sons get. Becomes bitter towards the king. Resents the sons. Is very sympathetic towards the daughter for being ignored but still willing to banish her to get what she wants.
Animal friends: personally I think animal Friends are passe. But in this case I think her brothers (as swans) could count. She’s especially close to the youngest brother. She also has fairy Friends who tell her how to break the spell.
Romantic Interest: A king of a neighboring country who she unfortunately must entirely ignore in order to finish making the nessel, brennnessel shirts for her brothers. Another excellent king but without any family. Lonely and incredibly gentlemanly.
Hobbies: Playing with her brothers. NOT doing girly things. Has a particular affinity for the moon and sneaks out at night to romp in the forest.
Villain: StepMother and Bishop.
The jealous stepmother curses the sons out of spite and banishes the princess since she witnessed this.
