You know what I am clocking out with this whole apple drama
If you want to think it’s apple haters who are causing the drama FINE but like it’s the apple stans who instead of keeping it in the reblogs started making separate posts
not my circus not my monkey not my circus not my monkey
(Well maybe I started the circus but yall are buying tickets and then complaining)
Anyways I’ll keep out of apple drama for now cause rn it’s just people trying to put their two cents in but saying the exact same thing
ANYWAYS here’s my unfinished drawing concept of this backgrounder who I hc to be the next princess & the pea
Someone give me tips on how to draw the face cause idk how to draw faces on digital art without finding a reference photo
may or may not go through all of the eah backgrounders later and figure out which stories are confirmed and for the ones that arent figure out my headcanons/opinions
credits to @eah-backgrounders for all the ideas/inspirations.
So if you're a fan of EAH, than you know about the background characters.... they're absolutely beautiful but literally who the hell are they? (And why are the animators making literally the best and prettiest background characters and letting them go to waste?)
This is basically like a catalog of the background characters, I'm gonna try to fit this into part 1. Again credits to @eah-backgrounders.
Feel free to comment name ideas or who you think the characters are.
#1: Red and Purple Haired Girl
This is the daughter from the German fairytale The seven Ravens (she doesn’t have a name yet). She was seated on the rebel side for Legacy Day, obviously because Raven is taken, I feel like she should have a bird name.
If you're too lazy to search it up: "A peasant has seven sons and no daughter. Finally a daughter is born, but is sickly. The father sends his sons to fetch water for her, in the German version to be baptized, in the Greek version to take water from a healing spring. In their haste, they drop the jug in the well. When they do not return, their father thinks that they have gone off to play and curses them and so they turn into ravens. When the sister is grown, she sets out in search of her brothers. She attempts to get help first from the sun, which is too hot, then the moon, which craves human flesh, and then the morning star. The star helps her by giving her a chicken bone (in the German) or a bat's foot (in the Greek) and tells her she will need it to save her brothers. She finds them on the Glass Mountain. In the Greek version, she opens it with the bat's foot, in the German, she has lost the bone, and chops off a finger to use as a key, (or she opens it with chicken bone). She goes into the mountain, where a dwarf tells her that her brothers will return. She takes some of their food and drink and leaves, in the last cup, a ring from home. When her brothers return, she hides. They turn back into human form and ask who has been at their food. The youngest brother finds the ring, and hopes it is their sister, in which case they are saved. She emerges, and they return home."
So since she's a female, I'm going to assume she's the eight child, I think that her name should be like Star or Eight, I'm not sure about the surname. Maybe Raven or Seven.
#2: Princess Wearing Blue and White
Sandra Castle, her fairytale is the Polish Fairytale, The Glass Mountain. She can be seen in True Heart's Day with her boyfriend.
The Glass Mountain: The Polish story begins with: On a glass mountain grew a tree with golden apples. An apple would let the picker into the golden castle where an enchanted princess lived. Many knights had tried and failed, so that many bodies lay about the mountain. A knight in golden armor tried. One day, he made it halfway up and calmly went down again. The second day, he tried for the top, and was climbing steadily when an eagle attacked him. He and his horse fell to their deaths. A schoolboy killed a lynx and climbed with its claws attached to his feet and hands. Weary, he rested on the slope. The eagle thought he was carrion and flew down to eat him. The boy grabbed it, and it, trying to shake him off, carried him the rest of the way. He cut off its feet and fell into the apple tree. The peels of the apples cured his wounds, and he picked more, to let him into the castle. He married the princess. The blood of the eagle restored to life everyone who had died trying to climb the mountain.
I believe the boy she was with in True Heart's Day is the schoolboy she's supposed to marry because he looks like a regular ol' schoolboy.
#3: Jamie Hook
The myth, the legend, the baddest alive. Jamie Hook, literally one of the most iconic background characters ever. Jamie Hook is obviously the daughter of Captain Hook. The main disagreement most people have is her name because I've seen Veronic, Jane, Jannett, Helen, but I think Jamie suits her best. Also I'm pretty sure she's dating Pan's daughter.
#4 Tulip Dress Girl (@arte-cat)
Daughter of Princess Rosette from the fairytale of the same name. Her colors are a tribute to her father, the King of the Peacocks, and the flowers just represent the “rose” part of her name. I feel like she'd either be Rosetta Princess or Rosetta Peacock.
#5: Girl In Grey
She's confirmed as Birch, the next Pitch Girl from the fairy tale Mother Holle. She's also twin sister with Grey-Haired Girl.
#6: Golden Haired Girl
Miller Goldenstraw, Daughter of the Miller's daughter from Rumpelstiltskin.
#7: Orange Hair Girl
She is the daughter of one of the Merry Men, from Robin Hood's lore, possibly Allan-a-Dale or Will Scarlet.
#8: Boy With Curly Hair
Scottington Dee, the son of Tweedle Dee.
#9: Blue and Gold Girl
It was confirmed by a team member from Guru Studios that she is the daughter of Yeh Shen, from the Chinese folktale with the same name.
#10: Girl In Orange
She is most likely the daughter of an Hindu Mythology character, like Princess Sita and Prince Rama. Her story may also be from the One Thousands And One Nights or the Arabian Nights collection of stories, such as the princess from the story Aladdin. Her ensemble resembles that of India, from the way her head is adorned all the way down to her pointed shoes, as well as the pattern on her dress. There is also a possibility that she could be the trademarked Amber Midas considering her golden accessories and visibility.
#11: Unicorn Girl
Daughter of the Unicorn who fights for the White King's crown with the Lion in Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There
#12: Lion Boy
Son of the Lion in Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.
#13: Butterfly Girl
This is Cari Pillar, the daughter of the Caterpillar from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but she also could be related to the Bread-and-Butterfly, a Wonderlandian creature featured in Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.
#14: Grey Haired Girl
She is confirmed to be Maple, the next Golden Girl from the fairy tale Mother Holle, and the twin sister of Birch.
#15: Gold Jewelry Girl
She may be the daughter of the Emperor, from the fairy tale of The Emperor's New Clothes, as her outfit incorporates fashion elements. Considering her feathery accessories, she could also be inspired from other bird-like fairy tales such as The Singing Springing Lark, The Crane Queen, Fitcher's Bird etc.
#16: Turqouise Haired Girl
Irene of Augen, from the Two-Eyes, from One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes fairy tale.
#17: Girl in White and Gold
She's the daughter of Mother Goose. Her physical attire seem to be in reference to the nursery rhyme Old Mother Goose And The Golden Egg as this character has white and gold embellishments. Even though her story is confirmed, she is unnamed.
#18: Pixie Cut Haired Girl
Her name is Phoenix, and she is the daughter of The Firebird.
#19: Wrist Watch Boy
The son of the Little Prince from The Little Prince story. In the Destiny conflict he is likely a Rebel, because he supported Maddie for student council president. Again cliche, but I think his name would be Prince, he just gives off that vibe. Maybe he's named after his dad so he's a "Jr" or something.
#20: Orc Boy
I don't know his story but according to a member of Guru Studios staff, his name is Lawrence Bonecrusher III.
#21: Long Haired Boy
He was originally meant to be the next beast, from The Beauty and the Beast. He may be the destined to be the next King of Peacocks or The Bear Prince due to its similar concept. I think he might be either a Schoolboy or one of these things. He wants to follow his destiny because he is a Royal but he's also in a relationship Princess Wearing Blue and White in True Hearts Day, but he had his arm around Turquoise Haired Girl, so maybe he and the Princess broke up to focus on their destinies.
#22: Orange Haired Prince
His story is king of The Golden Mountain, he doesn't have a confirmed name so maybe it's like George Mountain or something like that.
#23: Droopy Hair Girl
Due to her flowery appearance and stream like stockings, she is assumed to be the daughter of the Princess from the Moon, from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
#24: Skater Dude
He may be the son of the Iron Stove Prince from The Iron Stove story by Brother's Grimm, but honestly idk. I think he likes DJ-ing, so maybe he's in a band. He's def a Rebel.
#25: Wavy Dressed Girl
There are many assumptions about her like her being The Marsh King's Daughter from the story of the same name. She may be from the legend of the White and Green Snake. Several other stories may have inspired her aesthetic such as the fairytale Mossycoat or the swamp fairy from the story Little Daylight. But my personal favorite is her being the daughter of Ida, from the fairy tale Little Ida's Flowers.
#26: Teal Buns Girl
She, along with Bob Cut Girl, may be based on evil witches in general. She may be the daughter of Mother Trudy, the villain of the fairy tale with the same name.
#27: Pastel Buns Girl
She may be the daughter of the Sugar Plum Fairy, from the ballet The Nutcracker. She could also be the daughter of Jack Horner. I think that Sugar Plum Fairy suits her better because I was thinking her name could be Sadie Plumfairy.
#28: Black Haired Girl
She is the daughter of the Emperor of China, from the fairy tale The Nightingale, by Hans Christian Andersen. Literally why is EAH hiding all these POC from us?
#29: Punk Boy
He may be the son of the protagonist from The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was. I love his design sm, like omg he's so pretty.
#30: Peter Pan's daughter.
So all I can say is she and Hook's daughter are dating. It's very established (especially in the fandom) that she is Peter Pan's daughter but there is no name for her. I'm gonna go with @vivi-designs name for her and call her Peony Pan.
I'm pretty sure the photo max is 30, so this is the end of Part 1, I will post more about the background characters, feel free to comment what you think. And more info can be found here:
This page contains all the backgrounders that have appeared in the Ever After High webisodes. Click on the backgrounder's respected links to
🍓Berry Sweets: daughter of Strawberry (Sunday) from a story I read long ago about how much ice cream was invented. I can’t find it for the life of me but trust me it’s real 😂 The wiki suggests she could be the Sugarplum Fairy, but she doesn’t have any wings, and every fairy at EAH has wings.
⚜️Meredith Miller: future Miller’s Daughter from Rumplestiltskin. I settled on Meredith when I was doing research on the popularity on a few of the canon characters names in the year 2010 (when eah came out). I believe Raven was number 604 and Meredith was number 603. Idk, I like identifying patterns 🤪
🐍Aura Serpentina: a doll creator on instagram was doing the backgrounders and this girl was confirmed by one of the guru studio designers on being snake themed. The name Aura comes from Auryn, the black and white conjoined snakes on the cover of the Neverending Story. Pretty sure there are snake-centric Grimm tales so she might be from one of those.
🏰Hazel Towers: daughter of the witch from Rapunzel. I thought she should have a plant-based name. She was almost called Ivy.
I just want to give some appreciation to this gorgeous backgrounder.
I don’t have a fairytale/anything hcs for her yet. If someone does please share.
I’d love for her to be a part of some sort of hunting/beastly fairytale because of the fur on her coat. I read somewhere that she was supposed to be the next beauty from beauty and the beast before Rosabella came along.
I’d also love a fairytale hc where tulips are incorporated because of her dress.
She attends muse-ic class and she is very friendly with lots of backgrounders, mainly the girls. The wiki says she voted for Maddie in the election but I went back and watched and she only appears once in the hallway talking with her friends while Maddie is campaigning. I don’t think that proves that she voted for Maddie. She also, of course, is one of the background girls who constantly fawns over Daring. She’s actually so pretty.
She’s often seen with grey hair girl so much.
She can also often be spotted with background pink and purple hair girl
The three of them are a trio and in basically every hallway scene you can see them chatting in the background (I’m taking it as they’re besties and not just reused animation)
She is also seen with princess wearing blue and white, although not as often
Other people she’s hung out with:
My headcannons for her. None of these are really based on fact but they aren’t outlandish and they’re pretty likely.
She’s a Royal. Daughter of the princess and the pea. She has a transatlantic accent. Or at least a vaguely British accent. She doesn’t have perfect princess hair, she spends an hour each morning taming it since it’s naturally frizzy.
My headcannon is that she was originally supposed to be roommates with Duchess but since Apple switched rooms it set of a domino effect and she ended up getting roomed with blue and gold girl.
Her grey haired girl and pink & purple haired girl had been BFFA’s since their freshman year. Pink & purple haired girl is a rebel, grey haired girl is somewhere in the middle, but they don’t let conflicting views affect their friendship.
I think that her personality would be similar to most royals in personality, mainly to Holly. Speaking of Holly I think that Pen would definitely be reading Hollys fanfics.
She doesn’t know who her fairytale prince is but she knows that it probably isn’t a Charming. It’s most likely a second or third son.
But until then she has a little bit of romance
(This is canon) during true hearts day silver crown boy enters with blue and gold girl (the girl who I hc to be Penelopes roommate, she’s the one sprawled on the stairs in the sixth picture and on the end of Penelope and grey haired girl fawning over Daring) but during the dance Penelope and silver crown boy start hanging out and and the end of the night (the picture shown) they leave together. And then they are always shown together as a couple.
Silver crown boy (I might make a post on him later) is a rebel, he cheers for raven during legacy day and is seated on Maddies side for the election. I think they’re very cute… until they’re not
THATS RIGHT. FUCKING GREY HAIRED GIRL, HER BESTIE STOLE HER BF. Istg I was not expecting to find this kind of blatant drama. But she’s chatting him up during ‘Cupid makes things right… kinda’ and Penelope is no where to be seen. And then in that one really random Courtly redemption episode we see them at the theatre together. And then they’re cuddling during raven and dexters date. And you know what the worst part is?
Penelope is NEVER seen with grey haired girl again or silver brown boy again. And most of the times we see her after the breakup she’s all alone. Like all of her other friends took grey haired girls side.
This poor poor girl, I don’t know if I even want to make a post now for grey haired girl (I’m planning on doing as many as I can) like she just doesn’t deserve it.
In my perfect world she goes to Cupid for relationship troubles because yk her best friend stole her man and all her friends and Cupid consoled her and now (post canon) Penny ditched her old friends and is a part of the main characters.
Ps: I plan to make posts like this for all the background characters that I like/have hcs for. If anyone has any different hcs for orange haired girl please share. Or any other character. Or if you have a background character you want me to make a video on.
Pps: if you haven’t seen my earlier post I have a page in my notes app just full of everytime a backgrounder shows up so I can track the drama like that
Ppps: it’s not exactly in chronological order it’s like all the stuff on Netflix in order (or like mostly in order) and then all the webisodes even if they go in between so the whole love triangle might not be accurate.
Pppps (god I should have thought this through too many P’s): all the characters besides Penelope are being referred to by the name that the Royal/Rebel wiki has given them
I'm curious which of the more background characters are (some of, incase you can't choose) your favourites? I mean the characters that have had proper dialogue, or been introduced in a webisode or smth like that, but are clearly not part of the main cast.
(e.g. my top ones would probably be Justine and Melody- and Ramona)
FARRAH ML
