The Swan Princess doesn't get a happily ever after. That's why Dutchess (the dancing princess, that tried to ruin every princesses life to get her place in the royal ranks) does her thing. Her destiny is to fall in love and literally die, because her prince breaks her heart by falling in love with another woman. So she wants an ending, where she at least gets to stay alive. You can't really blame her for what she's trying to do, but because of the methods she is using, a lot of other students resent her. She's basically ready to kill another person indirectly, rather then die herself.

Apple White is actually a very nice and kind person, when it comes to the problems and people she's used to. She grew up having A LOT of privilege, and is consideredThe Future Queen of the fairytlale land, having more power than anyone else. So she is VERY privileged. Her story is based on her slowly learning just what it is to have a bad ending and see your friends suffer, while you have all the power and happiness you want, and realising just how wrong she was. So the story slowly goes from having both sides be right and wrong, to taking Ravens's side and have her be right, so in the end they all get to shoose their destiny and loved ones, and Raven and Apple truly become friends and live in their new normal. The Headmaster also chooses their side over time and stops being a bad guy.

Daring and Dexter also have a sister named Darling who comes in much later- she's iconic! she and Dexter are twins despite looking nothing alike. the charming family is actually kind of fascinating

Okay, let me clarify Duchess' situation: she IS a Royal. She DOES believe everyone should follow their respective destinies. And she WILL follow her destiny when time comes. However... She doesn't like her destiny, as she is the daughter of Odette, the Swan Princess and her happily ever after isn't exactly... happy. Because of that, she is resentful of those who have happy endings but don't commit themselves to the story. That's why she gets so mad that Ashlyn (who has a great ending to her story) is not following her story. Not just that, but Duchess also tries to take another's happily ever after by force, that's why she is trying to force Ashlyn to abdicate her destiny in her favor.

The best explanation I can give for the love stuff is that as long as you don’t have a assigned love interest, you can date whoever you want. So a person like apple or Ashlyn has a assigned love interest in there destiny, while a person like Cedar or Raven don’t have a assigned love interest and so can date whoever they want to Also duchess is the daughter of either the black swan or white swan from swan lake. As a result, she doesn’t get a happily ever after, as swan lake ends in tragedy

Monster High is a Parallel Universe to Ever After High. They no longer needed her help so she transferred to Ever After High where they did need her help. Monster High being the sons and daughters of classic horror monsters and mythos is about accepting not only your self but others as well while Ever After High contains nursery rhymes and fairy tales. This creates and promotes the narrative that you don’t have to be who you’re parents or authoritative figures want you to be. That you can be who you are without the peer pressure of being something you’re not. Cupid doesn’t have a story book because she isn’t a fairy tale character. So Yea…sorry this was so long😭😭😭

I'll leave this here, since it's not explored in the series and might help prevent questions: The Charmings are a big clan who basically produce princes for all the different fairytales. They actually don't know which story they will go into (since there are so many "prince charmings" in stories that appear for like 2 minutes at the end), it's all decided later. Usually it's presumed that the best Charming will get the higher-ranked story, like Daring is the oldest and is presumed to become the prince in Snow White fairytale, but nobody knows that for sure yet. Same with Dexter, he can get assigned to any story that needs a prince

That's.... something alright... and we don't even know how long this system has been in place, if there's an entire clan of families supplying fairy tales every generation with their "prince charmings,"(and occasionally Princess Charmings I guess like with Darling since gender swaps with fairy tales like Cedar and such) it's probably been happening for a LONNGG time. We don't even KNOW how old the brothers Grimm really are. They're literally just dictator/cult leaders, or at least the one in charge is, it's insanity 😭

So I found this out a while ago but not every person in ever after has a story they are confined to. That’s why several boys simp over Apple without breaking their destinies because they don’t have one yet. If you always had to follow your parents destiny the family tree would get messy because the Princess’s child is also the prince’s child. So there are families in ever after that are just like place holder love interests. The Charming’s are one of these families. So I doesn’t matter who Daring, Dexter, or Darling end up with because they can play the love interest in any story. Everyone just assumes Daring will end up with Apple because he’s the most popular but no one actually knows.

Dont worry, Daring doesnt stay happy with his story for long. The thing is, the Charmings don't actually know which stories they're born for. They only figure that out on legacy day. They just know that they will have to fill a Prince Charming role in some fairytale eventually, but they dont actually know who their princess will be. Daring thinks hes going to end up with Apple, but like... Also, theres a theory that Dexter is "The Good King" from Apple's story, and that he will be the one to marry Raven "The Evil Queen". But of course this also has the dynamic of them being Apple's parents which wouldnt work in their generation of the story, but it is what it is. Oh one more thing, keep in mind that Daring and Dexter have a sister, Darling Charming. And that some storybook characters have more kids than necessary to continue their story, so theres a decent amount of EAH students who have no idea which story theyre meant for.

Apple was never exactly selfish. I mean, she is loved by the entire school and not just because she is the daughter of Snow White. She is actually kind and selfless. However, her love for tradition and her eagerness to become a Queen to better help her future kingdom makes her become unaware how selfish she is being by wanting to force Raven to be something she is not so she can make her destiny a reality. Just because someone is being selfish about something doesn't mean that someone is a selfish person as a whole. In fact, she actually believes that breaking tradition can put in danger the fairytale world. So, in her perspective, by trying to make Raven to follow her destiny, she is not just making her story a reality, but she is also protecting the ones that are involved in it from disappearing, Raven included. Also, the assumption that Daring is Apple's prince charming comes from the fact they are the most popular students (from each gender) in all EAH. It's like assuming that the King and Queem of prom will get together in the future.

I will preface by saying that being selfish isn't always bad, it's quite literally just prioritizing yourself more than others to an inconsiderate degree which is sometimes necessary, but not in her case. Selfish describes her perfectly. She wants everything to go right for her AND be about her! She steals attention all the time even though often not with ill intent, it's still in an inconsiderate way. She wants things to go right for everyone ONLY WHEN that means everything is perfect for her first. Love for tradition and the effects of indoctrination make sense, but they shouldn't apply to every conversation she has on a personal level. I don't hate her or even dislike her that much in the end because it's certainly a product of the system but she is just straight up ignorant here there's no other way around that, she's a teenager it's not that hard to get a bit of emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills.

More Ever After High means more lore explanations. Particularly on our two new characters introduced. Sparrow Hood, son of Robin Hood, is either makes you laugh or you find annoying. He’s part of the rebels side, mostly cause he desires to be a rockstar on concert posters instead of a criminal on wanted posters. A very simple reason but sometimes that’s all you need. On the flip side we have Duchess Swan, daughter of the Swan Princess. Duchess is a unique kind of royal. She’s one of the few, if only, Royal we know that isn’t destined to have a Happily ever after. Depending on which version of Swan Lake she follows, she either spends the rest of her life as a swan or ends up dead. As such she’s a very bitter person, wishing her story could end in happiness rather than tragedy. Duchess’ concept of a royal ranking implies that each fairytale is ranked, and who takes over the story is determined by where they fall on that ranking. It’s never explicitly stated in the show but Duchess was told by someone, probably Headmaster Grimm, that she could take over another Royals destiny if she could catch them not being true to their story. As such we see her often searching to knock down any royal who strays from their pre-determined stories. Whether this is true or not is hard to tell. Very possible she was lied to as a way to keep everyone in check. Whichever way you spin it Duchess will always be interesting. She does everything she can to be the perfect royal, but her destiny is to be met with a bad end. And she’s really our first look into the reality that not all Royals are guaranteed to have a peaceful and happy life after their stories. Some get dealt with bad endings or curses they have to overcome before getting to have a happy life, if they receive it. I’m excited to see you continue down this storyline as you get to explore how gray the story can truly get.

Raven meets her and asks her how is it possible that she is alive and not burned to death and she tells her that for her and characters like her there is an exception. That she was allowed to slip out of the back oven door. Its because she has to produce an heir, another witch for the next hansel and gretel and she would not be able to do that if she is dead. And so characters like her just have to go through their story and than they live quite normal lives.

I loved Apple once she got her character development but rn that's just messed up on her part.

one thing to realize about ever after high is that being a royal does not guarantee you a happily ever after, and not every rebel is a villain. the biggest distinction is that royals are quite literally royalty, and rebels are just the common folk who still have their own stories. the rebel category also happen to be where the villains are placed because most fairytales do not have villainous royalty. it’s a little different with a few characters, for example raven queen and duchess swan (the dancer who wanted to steal ashlynn ella’s story). raven is the daughter of a queen, making her technically a princess, but because her destiny is to be an evil queen, she is a rebel. duchess swan is the daughter of odette who was the white swan and protagonist of the swan lake story. the story ends in tragedy when the black swan odile tricks odette’s lover into professing his love for her instead of odette, and odette dies. that’s why duchess swan wants to steal a happily ever after for herself, since she is a royal (idk why, i don’t remember if odette is royalty in the original story of swan lake but that’s just where duchess was put for eah) but doesn’t have a happily ever after like the rest of the royals. TL;DR royals are literal royalty, being a royal doesn’t guarantee you a happily ever after. rebels are everyone else with a story, and being royalty can be overridden by your story requirements if your story needs to you being evil hope that helps! edit: i also wanted to add something to help clear up confusion about why ashlynn and briar aren’t rebels now that they question their destinies. rebels aren’t defined by wanting to go against their predestined story, in fact there are plenty of rebels who like their stories (madeleine hatter, kitty cheshire, sparrow hood, and cupid to name a few). the main conflict stems from the fact that royals are treated better than rebels overall, and rebels have more of a reason to want to choose their own destiny since on average they have fewer happily ever afters than royals do.

As far as i remember in the lore they are assigned roles in storybooks right? Well duchess is a royal because she believes everyone should follow their destiny, her destiny ends with her being stuck as a swan so she resents people with happy ending who dont abide by said rules of their destiny like Ashlynn when saying "I'll take your place" there is a loophole where if you sign someone elses page in the storybook of legends you can technically "steal" their destiny this will be explored later in the series. Ashlynn has a partner she is "destined" to be with due to her story which is why her and hunter are scandalous. Also characters are teens so they feel free to date like apple and daring are a "couple" but apple said they have forever to be together so thats why daring flirts with other girls since they can date whoever but marriage is different as its an arranged marriage. ~ btw love your reactions keep going ♡

Dexter liking Raven doesn't exactly make him a rebel (I think) because if he and Raven would get married (+ Raven went w her story) they would be the Good King and Evil Queen. In the book it is said that Raven's dad is the Good King so it follows the story 🤷🏻‍♀

Hope this clarifies: *Rebels* : those who think one should be able to choose their own destiny. *Royals* : those who think one should follow their stories destiny.

Duchess Swan is actually a royal, since she wants people to follow their destiny and she does want to do it herself, but she obviously doesn't want to die, so she decides to follow not the destiny of a swan but any destiny she can get, you know?

Apple white MAY grow on you if you watch the longer episodes/movie things. Daring also has some good episodes (surprisingly) and gets developed more. Also apple white actually isnt dating daring, according to the fandom she also has boy trouble. Also, i recommend watching an episode or two with Poppy o'hair- shes a very interesting character!

Okay I really really really need you to know this about their destinies so I hope you do read all the comments cause this first point is really important for me that you know while continuing the show: While they are the children of the fairytale characters we know and love, their parents are NOT THE ORIGINALS. This story takes place after so many generations, but basically when you take part in the story you BECOME that character. Apple’s name will legally change to Snow White when the story starts, just like Raven’s will change to The Evil Queen. It’s like that for everyone, so that’s how they can all say that are the children of those characters. Additional things; This also tied into the fact that the stories have changed and deviated a lot since their originals. So things like Cerise being the child of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf happened because they didn’t follow the story like they were supposed to. And for Cedar, her dad made her because when she starts her story, he would become Geppetto, so she wasn’t given birth to. Hunter is the huntsman for two stories, Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. Rebels are people who want to deviate from their destiny and also those who choose to support the cause. Technically Maddie would be a Royal but she completely supports Rebels and wants to be a Rebel but she still likes her destiny. Royals are people who want to or at least plan to fulfill their destiny. Duchess wants to change her destiny but she will go through with it if she can’t. She’s a Royal. Dexter is a Royal because even though he likes Raven he still plans on fulfilling his destiny too even though I’m not sure what it is.

A lot of the characters who seem like they should fit into the Rebel category but still do fit into Royals are also just conflicted. They may feel the way rebels do in their hearts, but they are too scared to show it, say it, or act upon it. A lot of it is about appearances, so as long as they still publicly support everyone following their storybook destinies, they're still seen as royals. Even if they might secretly feel differently. It's explored more later on, but I get how it's confusing!

I am a simple person. I saw that Mathew made a new EAH reaction, and I cliked faster than an heartbeat.

My understanding of the dating situation is that while it is part of the Roylas vs. Rebels conflict, its also Hunter not being a prince that could be part of Ashlynn's story. When Apple was talking about True Hearts day, she doesn't talk about meeting with the boys they like, she talks about meeting their "Pre-determined Princes" Something Hunter is not. There are a ton of generic princes that that have no specific destiny that will fill the unfilled roles in various stories. If Ashlynn was dating one of them, it wouldn't really be a problem. Daring himself is supposed to fill the role of prince in Apples story. But, for reasons that will make more sense later, Apple herself doesn't even care about dating Daring, despite being her pre-determined "True Love". On the logic that they have the rest of their future together, so it doesn't matter while they're in school. To sum it up, its a mess.

Being a rebel is when the character has a traits that makes them unable to do their role in their stories. Like how Ceder Wood can't lie, but lying is the whole thing in her story. And Hunter doesn't like hunting animals, but thats what he is supposed to do in his story. And so on.

They're all meant to "supply" the "prince charming"s for all the stories that need them. So Daring's destiny is fixed to be Apple's prince but Dexter and the others could be in any story. And Raven's technically a princess so it's normal for him to have a crush on her (not that anyone notices anyway).

You dont know how much happiness it gives me to revisit this with you😆😆😆💓

Not EVERYONE in EAH is miserable. Well, some are, but as the series goes on, some find happiness, others defy and change their fate by choosing their own destiny. The main problem, as many have pointed out, is the upending of the established status qoe causing conflict between opposing ideologies and povs. Namely the royals vs the rebels. Apple does eventually go though development of her own over later arcs that has her rethink her mindset. Apple and Raven are certainly good examples of not only peers and society pressuring them, but their parents as well.

The way that i've always interpreted the royal/rebel situation is with who is supporting who. Characters who are considered royals are people who agree with the idea that you HAVE to follow your destiny. Whereas characters who are rebels are people who agree with the fact that you can chose wether or not you want to follow your destiny. For example, characters like Maddie are okay with following their destiny but support those who don't want to follow their destiny. It's about the ideology. Hope that helps 😊

I won't say Apple is without flaws. I will say she and Headmaster Grimm are examples of trauma not dealt with and overly corrected. The outcome justifing the means kinda people. They don't really show their view until MUCH later in the Thronecomming arch. Can't wait to see your reaction to that season.

Okay, so. If their parents are royalty and the heroes in their story, they are a Royal. If their parents are royalty and villains or peasants, they are a Rebel. It doesn’t matter how the people act, it’s just who their parents are. Which is why Ashlynn and Hunter being together is such a taboo, because she is a Royal and he is a Rebel

Ashlynn is a Roybel. The students that are considered Royalty that go against what’s written for them are Roybels. This words comes more into play a bit later in Ever After. Might even be a few episodes

I’ve been refreshing everyday waiting for this😭

13:23 so fairytale-wise, they really wouldn’t be straying from their respective stories. the evil queen is married to the good king in snow white, so Raven eventually ending up with a prince or royal (like Dexter) isn’t necessarily rebeling against either of their stories. i really like that the creators kept that in mind when forming Dexter and Raven’s relationship (if i’m right). i think people tend to forget that information since basically everyone is labeled either a royal or a rebel and it’s either they follow their entire story or completely disregard it

In the last video you were saying, that the name Ashlyn doesn't make sense. I think it comes from the original fairytale. The story is originally in german and the name isn't Cinderella, it is Aschenbrödel/ Aschenputtel. The first part of the name means ash because she had to pick through the ashes to get all the lentels out, so that she is allowed to go to the ball. So naming the daughter of Aschenputtel, Ashlyn makes sense, but only if you know the character by her original german name.

YES I love watching you watch this series Please keeep up with this series

Mat being reasonably confused about the rebels and royals was so me when reading and watching this series and his hate of the headmaster is starting to rival my own 😂❤❤

The thing with Ashlynn and Hunter is that its more or less "okay" for people to date in high school, as long as they then proceed to break up and follow their destiny, but because Ashlynn is so prominently a royal- the implication that she's dating Hunter means that she may not be so strong in her resolution to follow her destiny anymore and Thats the problem- and because Ashlynn's story ends happily, Duchess wants it (you can sign the book in Someone Else's place and get their destiny instead, which causes some issues) because Duchess is a royal under her belief that everyone should follow destinies, but her destiny ends with her dying so she wants someone else's, but she's still following A destiny at the end of the day

Not even 5 minutes in and the Apple Rage has started. Always entertaining to see honestly.

Headmaster Grimm and his brother are the "Grimm Brothers". They are responsible for a bunch of original fairytales which is why he's in charge. Also, Duchess Swan is the daughter of the swan princess. She turns into a swan for eternity.... so.... yeah

Patiently waiting till he gets to The Thronecoming series cause I will be so exceedingly happy 😂 Always love seeing these videos ✨️👏🏾 Also the way that I see True Hearts Day in my POV, as a way to help, is that in the past over the years it was celebrated "correctly" with Royals strictly loving Royals, and Rebels strictly loving Rebels. Up until not so recently an incident happened where a Royal and a Rebel decided against that mould. The heirarchy of the school, being Headmaster Grimm, and possibly the land, being Snow White found a way to completely wrap this holiday up and seal it off (why they would want the same goal will make more sense in the future long series Dragon Games) so that is why it hasn't been talked about or celebrated in years

I just want to make a comment regarding the boys that chase apple. In the book and later in the webisodes it is mentioned that there are lots and lots of charmings that are even mostly unrelated to each other and until they sign the book they don't know which story they are the prince for. Everyone assumes that daring is apples prince because he is the most handsome but it may no actually be the case. So other charmings have just enough chance at being her prince. In the books dexter is always confused about whether he should be a royal or a rebal because he doesn't even know what destiny he will be assigned

I can’t wait until he eventually watches Dragon Games cuz Matthew is gonna FLIP his SHIT

To explain the Apple Simps at the beginning of True hearts day. Many princess fairytales have a “Prince Charming” of some sort. They don’t actually know which prince is really apart of which story until it just happens. Though because of how “perfect” Daring is, they typically assume that him and Apple would end up together

Matthew always manages to upload when I’m not feeling too great thank you xx

Duchess Swan is destined to become the next Swan Queen, meaning she's going to be cursed and be betrayed by her true love. She is destined to not have a happily ever after, so she wants to switch places with someone that does. She wants a predetermined destiny that will make her happy, but she needs to destroy someone else's destiny in order to do that Honestly, it's really sad

I don't think I've ever seen a person get this mad at a cartoon in my whole life 💀

This is SO funny to see Mathew being confused by the rules of Royal VS Rebel thing before True Hearts Day where the situation is even more confusing with Duchess claiming she will stole Ashlynn Ella's place. XD

Sparrow Hood is the son of Robin Hood. For the royal and rebel thing, it doesn't matter if they are upset about their story. It matters if they follow it. Odette and Briar both are upset by their story, but will follow it. Ashlyn is straying from the story, so she is technically a rebel however she is keeping up appearance of staying with her story, so she is being classified as a royal right now. Key part is right now. I actually really love Apple and I understand why she was so stuck on keeping to her story when you get into the later part of the show. It's spoiler stuff, so I will keep it to myself. She is such an interesting character to explore.

I’m literally living for this series lmao EAH was my childhood 😭

Rewatching Ever After High while watching someone watch Ever After High

This is the best show for you to watch because when you start spiraling and getting super into things, that’s exactly the right thing to do.

Hunter is the huntsman from Snow White (the books state this explicitly) so Apple considers him a friend just as she does Ashlynn for being a royal. According to this logic it seems that Royals can be friends with anyone, but can't date outside of their story. Book Apple is way more mature about this because there are a couple inconsistencies now about your question when it comes to Duchess: She is a Royal, but her story has a sad ending because she's the Swan Princess from Swan Lake, she plans to follow through on her story but if there's a window of opportunity to change the ending she will effectively making her a Rebel

Don't know if you have yet but you should watch the monster high movie "When Gouls Fall in love" as she had a talk show just like in this episode, this is the closest her character has been to monster high in terms of her behaviour and what she does, that film was all about her basically doing the same thing, using her Cupid powers to help people fall in love who liked each other, obviously she doesn't make random people fall in love, but she sees someone who likes someone else and then gives it a bit of a nudge, however sometimes It doesn't quite work out the way she expected, which is quite funny, but that's just a really good film you should check out especially if you like Cupid

Duchess is a Royal because she wants to follow a story but she doesn’t want her story necessarily(her story is Swan Lake, and she’s the daughter of the White Swan) she just wants a confirmed happily ever after!

She *does* want her story, just not the ending. She's actually extremely proud of her destiny & that's a big part of why she's a Royal. She thinks everyone should take pride in their family legacies like she does. But she's also jealous that despite being a princess she doesn't have a happy ending, so she specifically wants to take 1 of the other princess's happily ever afters & rewrite how her own story ends. She believes that giving swan lake a happily ever after will make the story more popular & respected. She basically loves her story so much that she's willing to kinda sorta rebel for the sake of upholding it. Girl's complicated.

I just realized that I never questioned why does Apple think Daring is the prince in her story....like... She never once thought it could have been dexter

The insist of the charming family concerns me though, since there are family of Royals who just pumped out princes for different stories wouldn't some of it being incest, for example Apple's dad was a prince charming and so was Ashley and Dad, so it makes sense she would want to date Hunter because he's not a prince but then Apple wants to date daring charming, but he is the if not her brother, then the sun or cousin of her dad's cousin, so they're at least second or third cousins and that's kind of disturbing when you think about it, because if all the Charmings are related to one another and they always end up with the fairytale princesses like Cinderella or snow white then okay, one of them ending up with Cinderella and one of them ending up with snow White that's fine because they are married brothers okay or cousins, but then it becomes more difficult when they have children because their children are now related so if hypothetically Dearing is let's say cinderella's son then wouldn't he still be Apple's cousin because Apple and Ashley and would be cousins if their parents both married a charming and even if they don't end up with the one that's related to them, they're still distantly related because of their Uncle Or cousin that is married to the Princess, like for example even if they're not closely related, Apple and daring still would share at least a great great grandfather right?

The books are also really good! They actually deviate slightly from the show. There are quite a few details that contradict part of the show. Even so it’s really good, because some things from the book answer questions and delve deeper into things the show doesn’t.

Fun fact #3: Cerise Hood and Sparrow Hood are distantly related cousins.

I’m just waiting for you to get to the longer ones (thronecoming, spring unsprung, way to wonderland…) because those will probably make you appreciate some of these characters more. Especially Kitty and Apple (maybe)

To be fair in the book Apple White didn't care much about following storys until she fell down a well as a child cause she didn't do as she was told, that's part of why she wants people to do as their told cause if they don't they could get hurt. But also she does really believe what Grim said, that's why she thinks Raven is selfish ,cause to her Raven is sacrificing all their friends for a future that isn't even guaranteed. I do think Apple is in the wrong though.

Ok, here: Royals: protagonists/literal royalty Rebels: side characters, antagonists, and non-royalty

To my knowledge, characters are royals if they are royalty and from a heroic lineage. I like to think that most students are rebels simply because I’m pretty sure that if you aren’t royal, you are just a rebel. Like Cedar, she’s a rebel, but isn’t a villain.

Duchess is a Royal, but she is destined to meet her true love and turn into a swan until she the day she dies. I also believe she is like forced to watch as her true love falls for someone else.

23:30 it also could've technically been their sister too since she's also D. Charming lol

13:46 because dexter charming is the second born of the charming brothers, he would not take up the charming legacy, so is not bound to that destiny. I hope this helps explain it a bit :)

I can't wait until he enters the special with the Snow King ❤

I always assumed that any of the princes can get anyone that has a prince in their story. Like they're all trading cards in the stories. And it stops the incest concern.

That "podcast" thing is what Cupid would also do in Monster High, by the way.

Every time Mathew gets annoyed at Apple White for being self centred I *really* want to see his reaction to a couple episodes of the Monster High series, to see what he thinks of Cleo

There's an ever after high winter special where you can see Daring Charming starting to question things, I think you'll like him in that special

I’m going to explain the Royal-Rebel situation for anybody who’s still confused: Originally, the school wasn’t separated by Royals and Rebels, but rather Royals and Commoners. Every Royal is of royal descent, except for Blondie, who would exaggerate her heritage and make it sound like she came from royalty. Every Commoner is of non-royal descent, except for Raven, who originally chose to stay in the Commoner’s area because she didn’t fit in with the Royals. After Legacy Day is when the Commoners became known as Rebels. All Rebels think people have the right to choose their destiny, even if they like their destiny. For instance, Maddie is excited to follow hers but is very much a rebel. Royals all believe that they should follow their destinies, even if they don’t like it. For instance, Duchess is the daughter of the swan princess Odette. She is of royal descent, and thinks she has to follow destiny, but she hates her ending and doesn’t want to go through with it. Sometimes characters walk the line. Ashlynn, for instance, considered herself a Royal for a while despite dating Hunter. Hunter isn’t her fairytale prince, but dates him anyways, despite agreeing people should follow their fairytales. It could have been that, if things weren’t different, she would have broken up with Hunter once their stories began.

Alright I’m like halfway through and I feel like Matthew needs to know who is classified as what Raven Queen - Rebel Apple White - Royal Maddie Hatter - Rebel Cedar Wood - Rebel Ashlynn Ella - Royal Briar Beauty - Royal Dexter Charming - Royal Daring Charming - Royal Hunter Huntsman - Rebel Cerise Hood - Rebel CA Cupid - Rebel Duchess Swan - Royal Sparrow Hood - Rebel Tiny - Rebel Blondie Lockes - Royal Kitty Cheshire - Rebel(?) (she has a whole episode dedicated to the narrators trying to find out what she is, but officially she is classified as a Rebel) Lizzie Hearts - Royal The way they are classified is by whose side they support, so even tho Ashlynn currently has doubts she counts as a Royal because she supports her friend, which is supposed to contrast Maddie who likes her preplanned destiny and is probably gonna continue to try and follow it is a Rebel because she supports her friend

It’s more that Hunter has a role. He’s a huntsman. Ashlynn is supposed to be with a prince. Not one with a role. Like main character of their story or something but a random unnamed prince. One of the Charmings.

Rebels aren't people that want to change their story. In this school a rebel is anyone who isn't a royal or is a villain (seeing as Raven is technically a princess). Hunter, Cerise, and Maddy are all rebels because they aren't royals and Raven is a rebel because she is supposed to be a villain. The royals are anyone who is royalty, but not a villain (again why Raven isn't considered a royal despite being a princess).

Hearing Andrew laugh at Matt quietly in the background is so funny this thumbnail and title is 💯💯💯

Rebel’s are just any fairytale character who isn’t a royal, it isn’t actually about rebelling against anything

Basically, if the parents are royalty, they're royals. If the parents are villains or peasants, they're rebels. It isn't determined by how they act, just who the parents are. So even if Ashlyn doesn't want to follow her predetermined destiny, she's still a royal, because Cinderella was royalty.

From what I’ve understand, some students don’t really know what’s their destiny. They have to figure it out themself
