Rapunzel ~ Disney's 'Tangled' ~ Not Reserved
Nickname: Moyashi
Age: 23
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact:
Characters Played: Chitose Tachibana
Character Info:
Name: Rapunzel
Age: 18
Canon: Disney's Tangled
Pull Point: Mid-canon, right after she and Flynn get out of the boat and he disappears into the shadows, just before Mother Gothel appears.
Background Info:
History: 'Tangled' on Wikipedia
Personality: From the very beginning of the film we learn that Rapunzel is special. She was born well and healthy thanks to the life-giving properties of a flower that itself was born from a fallen drop of sunlight, and that motif of sun and light never leaves her in looks or personality. As a baby she only smiles and laughs until she's seized from her bed by a witch in the middle of the night; as a child, even trapped in a tower without hope of going outside or ever making friends her own age to play with, she still sings and smiles and gives love to her 'mother', Gothel, without reservation. As a teenager on the cusp of adulthood, she retains all of that childlike wonder and hope and joy even as she sings, a little exasperated, about how she feels as though even nearing her eighteenth birthday, her life hasn't yet begun.
Rapunzel isn't all sunshine and butterflies, though – she has a hint of steel that is well-hidden but runs deep. Though repeatedly denied, she never gives up on her hope of seeing the floating lanterns in person, and when Gothel becomes fed up and informs her in no uncertain terms that she will never have permission to leave the tower for any reason, she devises her own plan to make her dream come true without her mother's help, and carries it out in spite of all sorts of obstacles, including Gothel herself. Though she has no knowledge of the outside world and every reason to be abjectly terrified of what's out there, she doesn't let it stop her from fulfilling the dream that she's held since childhood – to her, that's the most important thing, and that determination carries her through everything in her way until her dream is realized.
Of course, anyone locked in a tower all her life, told horror stories about the awful things the world has in store should she set just one toe outside of her little home, and repeatedly discouraged from having any sort of positive image of her own strength, independence, or even looks is bound to have a few neuroses, and Rapunzel does indeed have them, though she doesn't let those get her down any more than she does outside obstacles. Her first reaction to being in the forbidden outdoors is joy, and she's only afraid of the 'ruffians and thugs' she's been taught will kill her for her hair for about a minute before she has them all joining in a singalong about their dreams, and despite being told that she's 'chubby', 'vague', ditzy', and that the very idea of Flynn having feelings for her is 'demented', she stubbornly holds on to what she knows is true. Still, it's not that she's not capable of more negative emotions, when pushed to it; it's merely that it takes a great deal to push her to the point where she won't easily bounce back. To Rapunzel, the world is full of light and joy, and there's very little that can truly hold her down.
Game Specific:
Arcana: The Tower
Justification: Apart from the obvious metaphor of Rapunzel living her entire first eighteen years of life in a tower hidden away from the world, the arcana's representations are actually surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly) apt for her. Imprisonment is something she's faced her entire life thus far, and will face again for the rest of it should she return to the clutches of her 'mother'; loss of belief and upheaval of everything she's ever known occurs throughout the course of the film. Enlightenment and freedom, however, are in fact the two most important things she gains throughout her adventure, and throughout all the changes in her life those cannot be taken away from her.
Samples:
First Person Sample: [the video feed comes on, showing the upside-down face of a blonde with a smattering of freckles across her nose, smiling hesitantly at it. After a second she seems to realize that she's doin' it wrong and quickly flips the phone right-side-up, laughing a little awkwardly.]
I'm sorry, I still have a hard time getting this right. Ah... I have a question, I hope nobody minds! Are there, um... any hairdressers I might be able to find here who... ah... won't freak out about my hair being seventy feet long? It's just I can't braid it all on my own, so...
[come to think of it that braid does look a little... messy.]
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. I hope you're all having a wonderful day!
Third Person Sample: There's a bit of an odd scene in the park today. If one happens past a certain spot on a certain path, one may see a diminutive girl with masses of thick golden hair kneeling next to a small boy who's skinned his knee. The child is watching her, bemused, as she lays a lock of her hair across the scrape and starts to sing.
Flower, gleam and glow,
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine...
Her voice is lovely, clear and sweet – but the smile on her face changes to confusion when nothing happens, and she sings the incantation again, looking and sounding a little panicked now.
“I don't understand... it's never not worked-!”
