Okay!

Berengar Teufelschalk- Bearskin may have completed the devil's challenge, but when old greencoat sinks his claws into a family, he's unwilling to loosen his hold. The second Bearskin was a highly nervous boy, prone to night terrors and paranoia. Always clinging close to his mother, he would complain of seeing demons and spirits in every shadow. When he returned from the war his story demanded he should fight in, his personality had been twisted into a misanthropic and withdrawn individual prone to random outbursts of rage. He suffered his seven years in complete silence and displayed no reaction to his supposed 'happy end'. Despite no longer being plagued by demons, he found it impossible to adjust to his new stationary life and eventually left one day, taking only the bearskin he wore for those long years. It is unknown where he went, however most believe he spent the rest of his days living alone in a forest. This figure is commonly cited as the origin of the 'ghost pelt' legend, where people have reported seeing a giant floating bearskin which casts a horned shadow in the woods.

The second bearskin's story also provoked the creation of many anti demon spells and tighter regulations around the role of demons in destiny fulfilment.

Carina Eckstein- This woman who fulfilled her role as Roland's beloved was rather private when it came to her destiny. She had a very close relationship with both her stepmother and sister and the idea of them both dying broke her heart. Her iteration of the story was regarded as an imperfect retelling, quickly overwritten by the next generation. On the night when her stepmother was meant to murder her daughter while trying to kill Carina, she instead panicked and confronted her stepmother. A shouting match ensued and she tried to grab the knife her stepmother held, even by the blade, which caused deep cuts over her palm. Eventually her stepmother grabbed her by the wrist, sharp fingernails digging in, to force her to confront the fact that it was meant to be. After that her story proceeded as it was meant to. However unwilling to forgive herself, she and her Roland moved far away and with the stolen wand that was now hers, began to study magic. In honour of the stepsister who sacrificed herself and the stepmother who became villain for her, she created a movement to campaign for happier fates for those meant to be villains. This movement unfortunately died rather quickly after her death, but Carina is still remembered for her work in making Type 403 fairytales more prominent (this type of retribution being more lenient) and is commonly associated with fairy godmothers, mainly due to her secondary work on magic ethics and the improvement of retribution spells, allowing them to be broken through repentance and changing for the better (due to her strong beliefs in the inherent good of even an 'unkind daughter')

Mai- The most recent of these three, this Prunella certainly made a strong impression among her peers at ever after high. Despite being forced to live with the witch, due to ill defined destiny regulations, she was remarkably hardy, remaining a confident and extroverted student. Those who knew her will always mention her stubborness. The yearbook of her year has records of her winning contests with witches, trolls and giants through sheer willpower. Though she could be brash, she was a brilliant leader who was almost singlehandedly responsible for the success of many school events. Traces of her influence are still visible, if unnoticed to this day. There are three medals for marathon running sitting in the school's trophy cabinet and the gian plum tree in the courtyard was planted by her, back when she was the president of the gardening club. She was highly critical of her destiny and would often argue with teachers over it. She was often defiant when forced to fulfil her destiny, trying to escape or poison the witch and stubbornly refusing any of her Bensiabel's offered help, often stating that she knows what to do because of literally having a story to follow. However, unbeknownst to most, she had an undiagnosed degenerative eye condition that suddenly worsened just before beginning her story, which made it extremely difficult for her to properly follow through with her story. Teachers were debating whether to find a replacement Prunella. However stubborness prevailed, Mai claiming that she's suffered the beginning so she has a right to her happily ever after. Although being stubborn as an ox and completing impossible tasks without her Bensiabel unnecessarily dragged out her destiny's completion, it actually allowed for a proper relationship to begin to blossom. The prunella destiny actually allowed for her to mature some. A defiant person, her refusal of all possible help was always a flaw, with overwork related fatigue being a common problem. However her relationship with bensi allowed her to develop a balance between independence and accepting help when she needs it. After her story, she becomes a gardener and founds a witchy botanic garden, while her husband became a potion maker.

(That angry look is actually her default squinting 'i don't need glasses' face)
