What do you think of OCs who are real-world girls who go through a portal to enter the Ever After High universe?

I've never been fond of this type of OC. For one thing, it's a controversial OC type in many fandoms. Some fandoms abhor it like there's no tomorrow (such as the Tolkien fandom, which is infamous for its unforgiving attitude towards OCs in general). My most personal gripe is that a lot of times these "girl falls into fictional world" OCs don't really fit into the universe that they fall into. With Ever After High OCs specifically, it just seems boring for a normal girl falling into the universe when there's characters who are destined to succeed their fairy tale parents.

(BTW, I just used "girl" because all the OCs I've seen of this type were female. I'm sure male ones exist too, though.)
