I read somewhere that in the EAH universe, every generation's story is a little different. And it's clear that there were at least a few deviations (like Cerise's parents. In the oldest version of Little Red Riding Hood - Perrault's version - the wolf eats Little Red Riding Hood and the story's over.)

Some fairy tales actually mention the protagonists living extremely long lives after the story's end. In The Little Good Mouse, the protagonist Joliette is supposed to live for a hundred years. She is married at 15, meaning that she's got 85 years to go. In Donkeyskin, the protagonist and her husband live for a hundred years after their wedding. (I'm guessing they'll be at least 115 at the time of their deaths.) Donkeyskin's mother dies at the beginning of the story.

EAH does have a lot of plotholes, though, and I think this is probably the biggest one. It's possible that Apple White's mother will die soon after she graduates, so her story will start.
