Of course! C: It took some time, but I did manage to find some more tales:

Let's see... I know that some ballets are pretty tragic. Take Giselle for example: Giselle is the main character and she ends up dying halfway through the tale. Of course, there's also Swan Lake which has Odette and Prince Siegfried both dying.

There's also the Hunchback of Notre Dame which doesn't end happily for most of the main characters. If I recall correctly, Quasimodo, Frollo, and Esmeralda all die and Phoebus is unhappily married. Although, I'm not sure if the Hunchback of Notre Dame would be allowed on here since it doesn't really have any real fairy tale/magical elements.

In the original tale of Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, who is just an unnamed cricket, is killed by Pinocchio (although he does come back as a ghost to continue to give Pinocchio advice). There's also the Cat and the Fox from the tale, who end up lame and impoverished.

There's the story of The Wizard King, which doesn't end too happily for the main character, the Wizard King. And then there's Captain Hook from Peter and Wendy who is eaten by a crocodile. And the Jabberwock from a poem in Through the Looking Glass is slain by the vorpal sword. There's also the Legend of Sleepy Hollow in which the main character, Ichabod Crane, apparently mysteriously disappears. And in Boots and His Brothers, the two oldest brothers get their ears cut off.

That's all I could find for now. Hopefully you like some of these ideas - If not, just let me know and I'll try again~
