Cygmund "Ziggy" Frederick

"Sleep is the free trial of death and baby, I’m just preparing myself for my destiny."

- Ziggy speaking about his constant napping.

Sigmund “Ziggy” Frederick is the son of Prince Siegfried of the ballet Swan Lake. He is a Rebel for the obvious reason of him not wanting to die because of his “love” for the future Odette.

Personality and Skills
Sigmund Frederick would be one of the most annoying and lazy princes you would ever meet. Unlike his story-mate, Duchess Swan, he has come to the acceptance that he would end up without a happily ever after. From a young age, Sigmund understood that he was going to live a short life so he adapted to living it to the fullest… in his standard. He didn’t give much attention to his studies nor to anything else extracurricular until Legacy Day, really. After what Raven Queen did, Sigmund saw a chance to escape his destiny and become whatever he wanted to be. Though annoying and lazy, Sigmund does have a particular fondness of animals as he does spend much of his time in the Enchanted Forest. Sigmund also has an ability to talk to animals which does prove useful whenever he needs help whenever he attends Hero Dynamics and Vagabonding 101. Sigmund proves to be an excellent dancer in both ballet and modern street dance as his grandmother took it upon herself to enroll him to dance class. Sigmund does find solace in dancing ballet and does enjoy helping a few girls if they need a dance partner, and no, he isn’t embarrassed to dance ballet in front of his friends since there would be no shame to it.

Appearance
Sigmund, like any prince, was given dashingly good looks. He has curly natural midnight blue hair, that it almost looks black, tied in a ponytail or man bun. He’s quite tall and fit as well; he does however have the worst posture ever after, which is odd being that he is a ballet dancer. Many people would agree that his best feature would be his gray eyes, which they say resembles Prince Siegfried when he was alive. Finally, he has a good tan with freckles dusting all over his body.

The Story
There was once this weird sorcerer who cursed this swan girl named Odette to stay a swan when the sun was out and be a normal person when the moon was out. Then there's this Prince who don't want to get married but his mama was like "You have to get married or I cut your sorry arse off" so they are gonna have this big kind of Gatsby party. Then this Prince finds Odette and falls in love with her and all that true love shiz. Then at that big party, Rothbart arrives and makes his kid, Odile look like Odette and makes that Prince say he love her and not Odette. Then Odette feels so sad and lonely that she flies away with a broken heart and the Prince goes and say sorry to him and they say they love each other and YAY true love again. Then they both kill themselves. The End.

How does Sigmund come into it?
Well after Odette and Siegfried killed themselves, another princess claimed to have the son destined to be the successor of Prince Siegfried. It had turned out that Siegfried had ensured that his line would continue on before he met Odette. After proving that Sigmund was indeed Siegfried’s son, his grandmother took his mother and him in and they eventually started training him for his destiny.

Family
Sigmund only has his mother and grandmother in his life. He’s very overprotective of them and really tries to spend some time to please them, even if it makes him unhappy. His grandmother expects quite a lot from him and does often mistake him for her own son, as she has become a bit senile. His mother practically spoils him with whatever material thing he’s ever wanted. The family lives together in their castle and Sigmund tries to see them as often as he can. After all, he doesn’t have much time left with them.

Friends
Sigmund often spends his time with the many other princes in Ever After High, however he has started hanging out with a different crowd since the events of Legacy Day. His most recent friends would be Embelchore Wicked of the West and Nitzana Ertrinken from a support group of characters destined to have Unhappy Ever Afters. They see each other quite often and their relationships have strengthened after really sharing the fears they have of their future.

Pets
Sigmund possesses a rather large hawk by the name of Archer.

Romance
Sigmund hates to admit this but he has always had this crush on Duchess Swan. However his affection is the oddest kind. He somehow hates to like her because it’s just the first step to his untimely demise and he would probably hate for his destiny to actually become a reality. His feelings were always really there for her, but he promised himself that he would never act upon them.
