User blog:EtherealNyx/Some Ideas of Mine (OC soundboard)

You might not know it, but I LOVE fairy tales. I mean, really love them, though I'm really bad at finding obscure and original ideas to use for my characters. I tend to rely heavily on tropes and quirky characters come from relying on stereotypes. Since I'm a forgetful person, I'm writing down some ideas for characters. As they become more cemented in my mind, I will add more to them until I actually post their pages. Any help will be appreciated :3

Anyway, I want to make a son or daughter of Bluebeard. I know it's awfully cliche, but I really find this story to be engaging and it actually teaches a moral: that curiosity can have bad consequences. However, I feel the ending is a bit of a cop out: the girl's brothers just randomly arrive to save the day? What the hex? There was nothing arranged beforehand, so how did that happen, hmm?

Anyway, I want this character to be either a Roybel or a Royal, because I am awfully deficient in Royal characters at the moment (again, this is counting unleashed characters, who are mostly Rebels XD). However, I'm leaning towards a good character, rather than an evil one. I've made enough evil characters to suit my tastes right now.

Another story I want to use is 'The Wild Swans'. I really want to try writing the daughter or son of the witch in that story. Yeah, I realize that I write villains a lot: sue me. I find villains to be engaging! Besides, the Dark Side has cookies!

On another note, I might also do "How the Devil Married Three Sisters" because of the Bluebeard elements and the trickery involved. I quite enjoy the thought of making a character that is the child of the third wife of the Devil and have them be a mischievous soul, because that would fit them adeptly.

Soon, I will come up with names, though I might ask a name generator. I will also come up with stuff like their Magic Touch and all, but it'll be slow and any assistance will be appreciated.

One question: which ones should be girls and which ones should be boys?

Thanks for listening and for any help I receive!
