Cerise 🤝🏾 Hunter 🤝🏾 Darling: Having trans swag. All of them could honestly be transmasc or transfem in my opinion.

(This is based on something @james-preble said in the discord server.)

Speaking of things mentioned ONLY in the books that seemed to hint at something bigger: Is it possible that Hunter's little sister, Fern, was destined to become the next Little Red Riding Hood?

Here me out: in Shannon Hale's books, Ramona or any possible future big bad wolf is never mentioned. Since her books feature characters who never appear in the series (Coral Witch, Nathan Nutcracker,in theory Darling too), It means that there was a deliberate choice on Shannon Hale's part not to have a bad wolf for Cerise, because Cerise herself is the wolf.; something the SCC doll seemed to allude too. However, another important thing is also stated about Cerise in the books - the world belives that her mother married the Huntsman, so much so that Raven points out "So you are Hunter's sister?!"

Now, in addition to being an interesting glimpse into how the world of EAH works, because it suggests that cross-fairytale relationships are allowed for "commoners", as long as they each have one child to fill their role (and it actually explains better some strange family trees, like the One of the Beautys). It does make you think: why mention the Huntsman if the village HAS other men?

Why hinted that the future Red and Huntsman are siblings? Why emphasize the fact that Hunter's little sister is considerably younger than him? Perhaps because the big bad wolf should be an adult compared to Little Red Riding Hood, who is a child,and indeed, Cerise is the same age as Hunter.

Who knows, I think there was something bigger going on.

eh?? Hunter has a little sister?? i had no idea

but you're definitely on to something...

i don't think it would have been intentional to imply that Cerise would be the Wolf and someone else Red Riding Hood, per se; i feel like the point of her arc in the books is the struggle of having a dual identity, with no clear resolution. in that case, it probably wouldn't have been necessary to consider an actual solution to the dilemma... but i wouldn't put anything past the mind of an author; it's possible she did write in all those references on purpose.

then again, knowing how author vs reader interpretations often work, it's also entirely possible the pieces fit together coincidentally. regardless, i think it's a really interesting idea 👀

previously, i’d always assumed Cerise would be destined to be Red, and some other Wolf would take over her father’s job. that might have been what they were planning, since they chose to present Cerise as Red’s daughter (which is an interesting choice in and of itself—ig bc Cerise doesn’t have a wolf form and, ofc, it’s the hero that gets the happy ending).

there are just so many other iffy variables tho… like how Badwolf was supposed to die (as Red recounts in TUOTA), but well, he didn’t, and as far as the fairytale world seems to know he doesn’t have an heir, so how did that just slide? then Ramona came along and solved that issue, but raised some new ones in the process… yeah idk, i may be going in circles here lol

also yeah, in the original story we have the age gap present between BBW and RRH, but ofc we know that Cerise’s parents were in the same class. not to mention age stuff gets all wonky thanks to the destiny system to begin with—what with Apple and Raven being in the same generation, other characters not being quite the right age for some events in their stories, etc.

i wish we could have met Fern in the books or wherever, tho… then we’d have more to go off 🤔 and then maybe there wouldn’t be a need for Ramona to exist

EAH: Patron Greek Gods Pt. 2

Maddie: Apollo/Hermes/Eris

Maddie is powerful enough to have won the favor of three gods. Her ability to see the future at such a young age fascinates Apollo. She is a traveler from Wonderland and can communicate with the orators of their world, impressing Hermes. But her chaotic, unpredictable nature is what caught the interest of Eris, the goddess of chaos and embodiment of discord. Maddie is happy to make new friends and have new voices in the sky to talk to, but it’s usually her trying to break up another squabble.

Ashlynn: Aphrodite/Artemis

Ashlynn is devoted to nature and everything in it, but she is equally devoted to Hunter. Aphrodite and Artemis are the opposite when it comes to their natures: Aphrodite is the goddess of love while Artemis is the goddess of chastity. Ashlynn is caught between two opposing forces already. But the choice she makes ultimately ends with her embracing both goddesses, and they embrace her in turn.

Cerise: Athena

Cerise is a child who is caught between two sides: control and instinct. Ares had originally chosen Cerise because of her "savage nature", but Cerise took offense to that statement and believed Ares to be a brute. Athena then took Cerise under her wing. Cerise had been raised as a Hood, therefore falling under Athena's rule as the goddess of civilization. But it's Cerise's athleticism and reliance on speed and strategy instead of sheer brute force on the field that convinces Athena that Cerise will be a great leader someday.

Hunter: Artemis

Many huntsmen have sought the favor of Artemis as the goddess of the hunt and the wilderness, but Hunter is the one she ultimately chose. Hunter’s skill with a bow is unmatched, but his immense respect for nature is what made Artemis finally choose a champion from his family. Her only grievance with him is that he’s in a romantic relationship, but they’re fine as long as he doesn’t bring up Ashlynn in conversation.

Blondie: Hermes

Blondie’s job and passion is to deliver messages to the world. As the god of messengers and orators, Hermes guides Blondie in her quest to give the people what they need to hear. They're also not above a little breaking-and-entering together.

Duchess: Hera

These two are divas to the core. Duchess strives for a better life for herself even at the cost of someone else’s, something Hera encourages wholeheartedly. Hera knows what it’s like to be stuck in a crumby situation that she can’t get out of, as it would go against her nature if she tried. Swans are notorious for mating for life, and both Duchess and Hera hate cheaters. But that's not all they're known for. Hera acknowledges Duchess's loyalty to the few people who matter to her, especially her family.
