Tatterhood: Difference between revisions

"If we had children there'd be life enough," she said. }}

 

 

Of course, the girl, named [[Meaningful Name|Tatterhood]] for her ragged clothes (she also carries a wooden ladle and rides on a goat), has her redeeming qualities--she's a stone-cold [[Badass]] [[Everything's Better with Princesses|princess]] who [[Cowboy Cop|takes the law into her own hands]] where goblins and witches are concerned, even running outside during their terrifying celebration and [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|bopping them on the head with her ladle]]. Her maids are less brave, though, and a witch turns the beautiful princess into a calf. Tatterhood, deciding that this just won't do, takes her sister on a long sea-voyage to break the spell, eventually breaking into the witches' castle and fighting them all off in order to turn her sister back into a human.

After this, the sisters travel at sea for a while, until they come to a faraway kingdom where the beautiful princess ends up [[Values Dissonance|marrying a forty-year-old king while Tatterhood marries his son]]. When Tatterhood marries, however, a final surprise awaits...

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Tatterhood. And ''how.'' Even when only [[Little Miss Badass|"half grown up"]] she takes on an unknown number of trolls and witches and beats them easily.

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: A variant of this happens to the beautiful sister when a witch gives her the head of a calf.
