Bathilda Waits

'Bathilda Waits' is the daughter of the waiting-maid, the antagonist in The Goose Girl.''

Character
Personality Bathilda isn't afraid to put anyone in their place. It doesn't matter if someone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, or even if they're living off by breadcrums tossed for the birds by Mary Poppins herself. As she will insist of anyone, in spite of her neat freak tendencies, it is not her mess to clean. This girl has a load of snark and is not afraid to use it.In fact, and perhaps because of her vigilant directedness, she would love nothing more than to become the most acclaimed actress in the land. And wear the most stunning of outfits. And to be a real looker. Not that she isn't pretty, it's just that a certain daughter of a certain princess from a certain tale is suposed to cause others to turn heads even when forced to dawn a peasant dress. Life's not easy when you're living on the short end of the stick, proclaimed thespian or not.

Appearance
Bathilda has a tall, willowy build with fair skin and blue eyes. She is a wavy-tressed brunette with hair that hovers just above shoulder-length when not tied up, and sports a set of bangs.

Basic Summary
The Brothers Grimm version of The Goose Girl is centered around a princess whose widowed mother sends her daughter and waiting-maid on a journey to a far-off land for the former to be betrothed by a prince. During the story the waiting-maid frequently defies the princess's orders, and once the to-be bride loses the protective charm  given by her mother (a hankerchief stained with three drops of the queen's blood), the servant siezes controll and forces the poor girl to swich places with her, the maid intending to wed the prince herself.

After various trials and the discovery of the princess's true identity, the fabled "goose girl" rightfully lives happily ever after with her prince, while the waiting-maid is sentenced to her own, proposed death: To literally be stripped naked, stuffed into a barrel lined with nails, and to have it be dragged around by horses along the streets until dead.

How Bathilda Ties Into It

As one can easily figure, Batilda isn't exactly exhilerated about fulfilling her destiny. To say the least, no particularly sane person would ever willingly want to choose to die such a horrible death.

That being said, if she weren't to actually live by the end of the tale (and more importantly: Succeed in marrying the prince), and if her dream of becoming a professional actress were never to fall through, she would have no qualms about blatantly stealing someone's identity as a means to get rich quick. Not that she would publicly admit it, but it's a thing.

Family
It can be assumed that her mother bore her sometime before the story's end, as she obviously would have been dead after the fact. Bathilda knows nothing of who her father is, so it can also be estimated that her birth was likely illegitimate, and that the faceless prince charming who had a one-night stand with a lowly waiting maid would rather not be associated with a bossy identity thief.

The closest people in her life who would even remotely be considered family would the original "goose girl" herself (as she would also be the next queen), and perhaps her daughter. Even then, it's rather awkward knowing that said queen is going to willingly trust adecietful servant with with her only daughter, but that is beside the point.

Romance
Her storybook romance says all. She probably wouldn't mind getting a guy at some point since she'd kind of have to have a kid before becoming horrifically maimed, but have a fair warning: Gold-digging tendancies are in abundance.

Basic
Bathilda outfit was partially inspired by the dirndl, a traditional dress worn in Germany. The torso and sleevesappear to be a grey, ruffled blouse with hangs loose off the shoulders paired with two dark brown straps holding it together, and dawns a darker blue waist cincher under a thin, red ribbon belt that matches the scrunchy holding up her hair. the skirt of her dress is a lighter brown and is partially covered by an apron tied around the waist. Over her her uneven, matching grey socks, her dark brown pumpers are wooden and simple in design, as though they were clogs with heels.

Both apron, skirt, blouse and socks are partially stitched together with colorful patches due becoming worn. Green trimming is a quite a given in her design, lining her socks, skirt, apron, and the sleeves and neckline of her blouse.
