Rapunzel still escapes from the tower because she wants to see the floating lanterns on her birthday, albeit her nineteenth instead of her eighteenth. An Arm and a Leg: In the final confrontation, Wendy implies that people are telling tales of how Hook will keep losing other limbs to Peter. A Twisted Tale is a series of young adult novels written by Liz Braswell, Jen Calonita, Elizabeth Lim, Farrah Rochon, and Mari Mancusi, and published by Disney Press. My God, What Have I Done?: Rosalind has one at the end after she realizes that cursing the prince and his servants wasn't the right way to protect her people, especially after she realizes that it affected those she cares about.

For Want Of A Nail: Strangely, while the book is marketed as " What If? the Evil Queen poisoned the prince?" (which is revealed to eventually happen during the prologue), the actual point of divergence is much earlier, when the prince finds Snow White before the Queen does and helps her reunite with her father. Camera Fiend: Alice, whilst in England. Most of her days are spent running around and photographing things. This actually proves especially useful when bringing the real culprit behind Mrs. Yao's smashed window to light. Crossover: Merlin mentions having crossed paths with the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella during his attempts to return to his own time. Or maybe it's the fact that long ago, before she was the Blue Fairy, she was a young woman named Chiara from this very village, one with a simple wish: to help others find happiness. Her sister, Ilaria always teased her for this, for she had big dreams to leave their sleepy village and become a world-renowned opera singer. The two were close, despite their differences. While Ilaria would give anything to have a fairy grant her wish, Chiara didn't believe in the lore for which their village was famous. Armor-Piercing Question: At one point, Maleficent is shown torturing Aurora's parents, and explicitly asks if they never tried to keep their daughter in their lives because they would have preferred a son.

Descendants: A franchise of television films, shorts, and books about the children of Disney characters, including of villains. Disappeared Dad: Snow's father disappears after the passing of her mother, Katherine, and his subsequent marriage to Katherine's sister. The Evil Queen spreading false rumors that he went mad leads to the assumption that he ran off. He was actually banished by her, his absence further enforced by a spell that made him feel ill if he tried to return to the kingdom, but he and Snow manage to reunite during the story. Named by the Adaptation: The Fairy Godmother is named Lenore, The King is named King George, the Prince is named Charles, and the Grand Duke is named Ferdinand of Malloy. The kingdom itself is named Aurelais, while the city is named Valors.

Villain with Good Publicity: Gaston (as in the original film) is adored by nearly everyone in the village save for Belle. Subverted at the end after he kills D'Arque, however. Adaptational Badass: Violet herself (and to a lesser extent Dash) due to her being the main focus instead of her father, which means her powers are far stronger here than they are in the films (though her story path of using said powers is very much similar to the original film beat-for-beat), to where she can go toe to toe with and survive against Syndrome's Omnidroids, something only her father Mr. Incredible was capable of doing in the film. During her first mission, Violet is able to steal the Nullifier from the Mastermind on her first attempt.
