Rapunzel

Rapunzel has only ever known the Tower, where she has lived all her life. She longs to go out into the world and start exploring, but her lockdown imposed by her Mother forbids her to. Unknown to her though her Mother is not what she seems to be. Rapunzel is feisty, kind and 20 years of being indoors with hardly any one to talk to has meant she has a big imagination. Her hair is very very long, with no hairdresser or visitor allowed near her, it has grown and grown. This hair is used for her Mother to climb, and also glows but Rapunzel does not know why. When our story starts it is soon to be Rapunzel’s 21st Birthday

When the baby was born Gothel saw the baby had the power in her hair so she stole the baby and hid her in a tower, locking her away. Gothel is cruel, but pretends to care and be a nice Mum.
