Biography
Hello! I have been creating OCs for Ever After High for a while and am having fun with it. I am a huge fan of fairy tales and I discovered Ever After High late in 2013 due to all the OCs on DeviantArt. I've only really been a hardcore fairy tale fan since 2013, after I learned the truth about the genre (I was once one of those people who dismissed it as a kiddie genre, but now I know that fairy tales weren't originally intended for kids, as evident by a lot of the stories I've used for OCs). My favorite fairy tale collector is Madame d'Aulnoy, and I take the most inspiration from her. I am also big on Andrew Lang's Fairy Books due to the huge amount of international fairy tales. (My favorite Fairy Books are The Yellow Fairy Book and The Olive Fairy Book.) I prefer doing obscure fairy tales since I tend to read obscure fairy tales more often (plus I'm so hipster XD).

Isidore my main OC. He and his friends, from the land of Féerie and other realms, have traveled from afar to go to Ever After High.

In addition to Ever After High, I'm also into Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Lord of the Rings (and other works by Tolkien), Tomb Raider, Namco games, Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros., South Park, and Drawn Together. I'm autistic and I was diagnosed when I was two years old. I also enjoy playing video games, writing stories, watching mockbusters, drawing, eating, and sleeping.

I am an advocate of reading fairy tales to kids, and I believe that kids should be exposed to the original versions of fairy tales instead of just the sanitized versions, and be exposed to larger reference pools than just the ones everyone knows. I find it sad that many parents these days refuse to expose their kids to the wonderful world of fairy tales. People should realize that fairy tales are not about Disney movies, animal sidekicks, and lame musical numbers. If one reads the actual fairy tales instead of just the Disneyfied ones or the crappy fairy tale horror comics and adult novels churned out by "edgy" companies, they'd be in for an excellent surprise!

'''I'm willing to let other people's OCs be friends with my OCs. Just be aware that I don't accept roommate requests for OCs of mine that don't have a roommate yet, nor do I accept relationship requests (be they familial or romantic - I will accept friendship requests, though). If you want to put one of my OCs in one of your fanfics, please ask me first!'''

'''As a side note, my first wave of OCs (meaning the ones I created between 2014 and 2017) are now retired since they've graduated from Ever After High. Also note that I don't have a problem with anyone making OCs with the same destinies as any of my myriad of OCs. If anything, I encourage it!'''

Written by British caricaturist and fanatical temperance activist George Cruikshank, it's basically four fairy tales retold to promote temperance. Its heavy-handed moralism was notably criticized by Charles Dickens, whose work Cruikshank had previously illustrated. I thought it was worth sharing here just for a few laughs!)

Sophie May's Fairy Book

French literary fairy tales
James Planché's translation of Madame d'Aulnoy's fairy tales (this one was published in 1855. Personally, I like the 1892 translation better, although this one is slightly more faithul in terms of the wording. This one also omits two of d'Aulnoy's stories, Prince Marcassin and The Dolphin - Planché thought they were too explicit.)

Fairy tales of Comtesse de Ségur (Ségur was a Russian noblewoman who married a French count. Her fairy tales were written in a similar style to Madame d'Aulnoy's. There's only five stories but they're all pretty good.)

Fairy tales and Novels of the Countess d'Anois, Volume 1 (a really old book, published in 1817. d'Anois is an old rendering of Madame d'Aulnoy's name, but many of the stories in this are actually by other writers. This copy is held in one of the Pennsylvania State University Libraries.)

Fairy tales and Novels of the Countess d'Anois, Volume 2 (second volume of the above. This book is the book where I discovered The Knights Errant - the story I based several secondary OCs on. The Knights Errant starts on page 167. This copy is held in the New York Public Library.)

Arabian Nights and other eastern tales
Stories set in Arabian Nights-type settings that were very popular in the 1700s. This contains both genuine eastern tales and eastern-inspired tales written by European authors.]
