Phoebe Fitzroy

Phoebe Parr-Fitzroy is the current professor of Geografairy at Ever After High.

She is the previous young maiden who travelled East of the Sun and West of the Moon, and the single mother of Albeart "Fitz" Fitzroy. Her separation from ex-husband, the Polar Bear King, is something she doesn't like to elaborate on (although she still wears a golden chain, his wedding present to her, around her neck).

Like her son, she doesn't believe women should be forced to marry someone they don't truly love through the destiny system, and is one of the few teachers to openly support Raven Queen's Rebel movement.

Personality
Phoebe is shy, soft-spoken and gentle, the perfect demure princess that Ever After High advocates. In her youth, she was known as the most beautiful woman in the land, hence the reason why the Polar Bear King chose to marry her.

Despite her gentle nature, she's incredibly driven, never giving up on something once she sets her mind to it. She has single-handedly pushed up the median Geografairy grades in her department, and you might sooner see a pig fly than see Phoebe give up on a student!

She applies the same amount of willpower in coaching her son's education, and has made Fitz skip a grade before when she thought "He needed more stimulation!"

A skilled artist, and guitar player, she's very fond of Canadian folk music, both in her mother tongue Inuktitut, and Nova Scotian/Newfie sea songs.

Albeart Fitzroy
Fitz is Phoebe's only son, and she conceived him at a very young age. As such, she raised him just as much as he raised her. She has a habit of calling him embarrassing nicknames even in class ("Chubby-Cubby", "Sweet Babu", "Doodlebug," etc.) a practice he surprisingly tolerates. Believing Fitz was the only good thing to come out of her fairytale destiny, she's utterly devoted to raising her child, and is deeply concerned for his safety and well-being.

King Valemon
The Polar Bear King himself. He chose Phoebe for her good looks, as opposed to her personality - and they clashed regularly in the period of their marriage. Though they have both separated, they speak of each other fondly, and Fitz believes their relationship isn't quite over yet.

Fairytale
East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a Beauty and the Beast variant, but has more in common with another folktale, White Bear King Valemon.

How does Phoebe come into this?
Phoebe married, and later divorced, the Polar Bear King. The reasons behind their sepration are a mystery, and she herself refuses to elaborate on it. It's clear both of them still carry a torch for each other, and Fitz hopes to see his parents get back together.

Syllabus
"Study smart, gentlemen - this will be the hardest easy-A you will ever earn."

- Phoebe's introduction to her class Geografairy class is a compulsory module requirement in Year Two. Most students look forward to it, however, as it's allegedly an 'Easy-A' subject. Phoebe finds this rumour deeply offensive, and is quick to correct anyone who suggests they can avoid studying for her class.

You see, despite the very high median grades of her students, her classes are surprisingly brutal: she's fond of pop quizzes, making people stay back after class, and expecting her students to identify the origin of a rock just by looking at it.

She has a tendency on taking her classes on 'interactive fieldtrips', like Ms Frizzle without a magic schoolbus, no insurance, and a shitty budget. These include:
 * Discovering the silica compound that makes Oz's brick roads yellow
 * Exploring the abandoned dwarven mine system under the Snow White Kingdom
 * A guided tour through the tunnels that John Henry carved with his steel hammers in his race against a steam digging drill
 * Pinpointing your latitude and longitude with tools and the position of the stars. Snacks provided.
