FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: THE PRINCESS (FROM THE TALE OF THE DEAD PRINCESS AND THE SEVEN KNIGHTS)
@princesssarisa @faintingheroine @angelixgutz @softlytowardthesun @the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland @grimoireoffolkloreandfairytales
Tagged by no one. I Just wanted the chance to talk about her character
Favorite Thing About Them: She is an organized person who knows how to trade services in exchange for shelter and protection, plus how to gain other people's thrust and make them her friends, and is polite but firm when presenting an argument to refuse something.
Least Favorite Thing About Them: Just the fact that her love interest (Prince Yelisei) has a name while she doesn't.
Three Things I Have In Common With Them:
I like apples
There are lots of times where i feel vulnerable and have to ask for protection
I have an idealist romantic side to my personality
Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:
I am not russian
I am not royalty
I have a good relationship with my stepmother
Favorite Line:
O my brave and bonny brothers,
Virtuous beyond all others!
God in heaven strike me dead
If my answer be not honest:
I've no choice? my hand is promised!
You're all equal in my eyes,
All so valiant and wise,
And I love you all, dear brothers!
But my heart is to another
Pledged for evermore. One day
I shall wed Prince Yelisei!
brOTP: Her maid Smudge and the Knights.
OTP: Prince Yelisei.
nOTP: The Tsarisa
Random Headcanon: Her name is Yelena, the russian version of Helen, because her beauty is comparable to Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world.
Unpopular Opinion: As far as Fairest of them All type of stories go, I feel the writing of this narrative poem by Alexander Pushkin has a better pacing, focus on the main heroine's point of view and feelings and building of romance compared to the more well known german tale of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs written by the Brothers Grimm, wich makes it a more enjoyable reading of a work of literature that feels more complete.
Song I Associate With Them:
Fly Away on the Wings of Wind (Uletay na Krilyah Vetra)
Russian Land
Favorite Picture of Them:
This illustration by Mikhail Nesterov
These illustrations by Boris Zvorykin
These illustrations by Vyacheslav Nazaruk
The portrayal alongside Prince Yelisei by the Soyuzmultfilm animated movie
