Rapunzel History

[Personality]:
When we first see Rapunzel she appears to be a young girl with a really cheery personality even though for the many years she has been alive, she has lived within a tower, alone with only a small pet and her 'Mother' in pretty much isolation outside of that, so because of the situation she tends to be a bit naive when it comes to things and people from the outside as shown in the song 'Mother knows best' when Mother Gothel is mentioning things that will be outside the tower. Since she had never seen anything before she would not know what was good or bad, so odds are she could get into trouble without realizing it. The only knowledge she had was either from Gothel or from the few books that they have.

She has never been outside her tower before so the moment she stepped outside and touched that floor of the grass, it was a whole new thing and an exciting one at that when she reacted in the way she did. She was happy and excited about the new possibilities out there and plenty of the new things that she could discover that she might not have known before. The downside to this was the fact that to do this she had to defy Gothel to do it. Doing for once in her life being brave enough to defy her even after being told to not to. In fact her mother did not know, but even though she did it, while she felt happy about finally doing it, at the same time she was to also feel badly about what she did and wanted to go back. This side switched every time and every so often for a while, from being happy about being outside, calling it the best day ever, to suddenly calling herself a terrible daughter for defying her mother. Gothel had pretty much made her feel about about for once doing something she had always wanted to do.

Mother Gothel kept her in the tower, keeping her prisoner and even went to the point being rather insulting at time to then make it seem like she does it because she loves her and all of this was to just to keep her inside. it's because of this that Rapunzel doesn't have much confidence in the beginning as shown when she gets nervous asking her if she could go see the lanterns or when she wanted to show her she could brave it out there, the latter in which she never did say anything because of what Gothel said. This kind of thing makes her believe that she really isn't capable to going out alone and so was content to a point of staying inside the tower.

The girl can be brave when she want or needs to do, like when she went to ‘The Snuggly Duckling’ with plenty of thugs. While she was scared at them at first, once they all started to sing about their dreams, she felt a lot better and even joined in with them in the little song. Although from her canon point when she has shown to even stand up for herself against the people she loves most, it can still happen, she can do it, she just has not gotten to that point in her personality yet. She also can be pretty daring, as shown when she jumps from her tower on her hair. She was brave enough and daring enough to even attempt that.

She had shown to do a lot of things within a small amount of time such as read books and make things, this is due of course to her being locked in a tower and also because of the amount she has learned during that time as well, since there wasn’t much one could do in a tower alone. This can also be considered a talent to be able to do all that, and she knows the many different types of stars that are in the sky as she mentions the lights that appear once a year does not seem to be any type of star that she sees every night and that they only shine on that one day. This shows she can be more book smart on certain subjects, but still intelligent never the less.

For most of her life she had always wanted to go outside, see the world and experience it, instead of being trapped within the walls of the tower, after all there is only so much in the tower without longing to go outside. She has only ever grown up with her 'Mother' so given this factor she can find it hard to disobey her, she has raised her, her whole life and therefore she is family in her eyes and just loves her mother, no matter what. Therefore when Mother Gothel tells her not to do something because it's for her own good, she usually agrees not to do it.

Though it took a long time for her to do it, Rapunzel can be determined once she sets her mind on something to then do it. Although it did take a long time for her to get the courage to leave the tower once she is out her determination and excited grow as she goes along

Overall she is a cheerful girl who has a dream to be able to go to see the lights that she sees every year on her birthday, it's what gives her that drive to be able to defy her 'mother' and be able to leave the tower finally after 18 years. Rapunzel also has a very bad habit of mumbling, which has been brought up often by Mother Gothel.

[Abilities / Strengths & Weaknesses]:
There is a lot Rapunzel can do when you heard the song 'When will my life begin' she can bake, make dresses, play chess, even has gotten to the point where she's painted every single wall in the tower. The list is quite big, but considering she spent all her time in the tower it's understandable that she had to do something to pass the time since chores don't take that long.

Her Hair:
There is a reason for Rapunzel's unusual length of hair and that is because of it's magical healing qualities. When she sings an incantation her hair glows and can be used to either heal what she wants it to, make a person younger or as later canon showed once bring someone back from the dead. But that was a tear and when she arrives won't be available to do. It's also great to use as a night light.

Strength:
Given that her hair should be rather heavy due to it's length and some of the things she does, her strength is defiantly better than that of a normal person since she can even lift a whole person with her hair and do various things things, even lifting it without ease when she needs to make a quick escape.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Given the fact that Rapunzel has never seen the world from outside her tower this can make her a little naive. Made ever more so by the fact she believed that the world was dangerous and believed what her mother told her. This is probably one of her more bigger weaknesses than anything.

Even though she is naive, she can be brave when she needs to be, especially if it's stopping her from reaching her goal and will use her surroundings to make plans and use that to her advantage, being able to plan accordingly. Like at the Snuggly Duckling for example. Rapunzel was able to get the ruffians attention to explain that she needed Flynn to reach her goals.

This can add to another strength in that she is able to easily get people to be open about what they dreamed of doing and also to help her escape with Flynn before the guards came. When she stated about if they had a dream, they soon told her and she managed to convince them to help her.

[Limited Powers]:
Her magical hair as mentioned will not be able to bring anyone back from the dead (Although I did state that was later on in canon and wasn't her hair but a tear, but it was still from the same source of the flower.)

Apart from that she's pretty much a normal human and there's not much to limit.

[Other Important Facts]:
The paintings that she does sometimes contains a sun that is part of her background that she is unaware of. Since she is the lost princess it's something she saw when she was a baby and has stuck in her mind since. So basically every so often her drawings and such will contain this one detail that she will be unaware of.

♦ Post:
Um, I have a question. [There is the sound of sweeping for about a minute before it suddenly stops.]

I'm glad I'm out of my tower and all, but I worry that my mother will return home and notice I'm not there and then she'll worry and I'll be in big trouble when I get back. [There is a hint of worry as she speaks, she is quite worried her mother will kill her for this as she said she wouldn't leave the tower at all. Plus she thinks it will break her heart and then she'll panic and basically, she doesn't want that.] You don't suppose there isn't an alternative thing to do to get me back within three days, is there?

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, actually I think it's different, even if I have no clue how to sail a ship, but I don't want to break my mothers heart either by not being there when she gets home.

[She knew that she shouldn't have left in the first place though, but she did it anyway. She regrets it, yet doesn't at the same time. it's quite confusing in her head right now.]

But if there isn't, then I still can enjoy my free time, right? Which reminds me, what do you lot do in your spare time anyway? Me, I like to paint, make dresses, read some books, play chess... [She'll be counting this off her fingers, it's quite a long list.]
