Though I hardly ever use obscure tales anymore, I do come close to these cliches and stereotypes. As always, I try to break them.

Aprileene was the first attempt and she turned out okay. Snow Queens are the bane of my existence... Misunderstood and seemingly mysterious Snow Queens just murder me. I needed something more different. And since I couldn't find one, I decided to make one.

Then I wanted to make an Ugly Duckling, for two reasons. Reason 1, because some users *cough* Vintage poseur *cough* were also going to make their own... and Reason 2, because of these cliches. Far too much quiet and "ugly on the outside and beauty on the inside" OCs... so why not make a conceited Ugly Duckling who thinks she's the prettiest swan in the world? I haven't seen one yet, so I thought maybe I should make one. And ta-da, we have Rouena!

However, I come from belief that everything is cliche. Everything has been used before, and you only add your own twist to it. Cliche or not, make your own OCs and make them original. Don't base them off just one other character ELSA GADDAMMIT.
