Let’s see what their fairytale holds.
Rowan has a secret, or rather, he is the secret. To all, he is the son of Red Riding Hood, but what they don’t know is his father is the villain of his mother’s story: the Big Bad Wolf. He had a happy and warm childhood, the best he could ask for despite his parents supposedly being enemies. The cottage where he grew up was an abode of warmth and love, and he was given every chance to explore and grow… as long as it was within the confines of the woods. Red Riding Hood was a little overprotective, but that was only because Rowan was shy and soft-spoken by nature. He was prone to chasing after danger, or rather danger had a tendency to find him.
But Rowan never complained. He loved the world he built within the cottage and the woods. He found comfort in the nature that surrounded him every waking second. The animals that seemed to be drawn to him were his friends, and the plentiful greenery and wildflowers were his confidants. He found his talent in baking, the ability to whip up delectable treats became a hobby; and soon enough, he was experimenting with different and new flavors. The village that was within walking distance to their cottage became his new favorite destination, and he became a familiar face amongst the villagers, trading his pastries for other exciting ingredients.
He never realized the perfect illusion of happiness could be shattered so quickly. It was when he was playing with his father in the woods that reality caught up to him: villains were not forgiven. The villagers, who loved and knew him well from his many trips to get supplies, mistook his father playfully wrestling with him in his wolf form to be an attack, and they retaliated. His father escaped from the mob but not without injury, and Rowan was taught a lesson that day. People can be cruel and unyielding in their beliefs. He wants to hate them, hate them for hurting his father when he had done nothing wrong. But his parents had ingrained into him to always see the best in people; after all, they had found love with each other despite being on opposing sides. Even if all Rowan could see was red when he looked at his father as he healed, he learned to forgive the villagers. People fear what they do not understand, and fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
From then on, he resolves to show the world they are wrong. Villains can change, and they deserve a happy ever after as much as their hero counterparts. He is proof of that.

Let’s see what their fairytale holds.
i. a lot is expected being born into a royal family in general, but being born into a royal family where half of you is fish and the other is human? larger expectations than ever. half of a set of twins, you’re born into expectations, beauty, and an air around you most people are afraid of, but also not too afraid of to ask you for things. it’s when you’re young that your mother looks at you like a shiny object, a whole new world as you’re cradled in her arms. there’s a million and one things rolling through her head and the head of your father, but you’re too young to know that yet. you take things in stride; the world is your oyster, you’re bright and beautiful. dark, black hair cascading through clear blue waters and a smile that could blind even the person with the best eyesight. you’re gorgeous to say the least and you’re happy to be who you are.
ii. when you’re older, the world comes hurtling towards you. your mother so hellbent on keeping up appearances and making other people happy rather than making you happy. it’s like she wants to prove something after being berated for marrying a human, falling in love with a human. she’s struggling with here and there, but there’s never an in between. you are pushed and prodded and pulled this way and that, there’s expectations and things that need to be done. you’re shoved into the public eye, you’re royalty … it’s expected. you do so much, try to prove yourself worthy, everything piles on top of you and you’re still caught in the middle like your existence does not matter in the slightest. just another face to bring in attention.
iii. there’s an air of confidence around you that people love to hate and hate to love. assumptions are thrown this way and that, it’s like they can read you from a mile away, but it’s reading with bad eyesight because you would never let someone get that close to you. your whole life you learned to present, learned to follow the expectations that were thrown at you it’s no wonder pretending came naturally to you. as much as you despise your mother now, as much as you would like to toss your father to the fishes, the deep rooted feeling of still needing to appease sets in your bones and doesn’t go away no matter how much you claw at your skin. so you take it, you smile and wink with the smirk setting on your lips as you try not to falter underneath sharp gazes.

Let’s see what their fairytale holds.
tw for mentions of drowning !
luxury is never foreign to rio, but neither is judgement. being born into two distinct royal families meant a lot of different things; he and his siblings garnered twice the adoration and also twice the scrutiny, but for rio it only meant twice the responsibility. he’s the eldest, meaning next in line, though his mother and father never fail to remind him. he doesn’t reject the fact – actually, he embraces it. or he tries his best to. what else was there for him to do?
at first, rio enjoys the attention. the fawning, the praise, the endless gifts. it’s not until he’s a bit older that he hears the whispering behind his back and the snide remarks made when they think he’s too full of himself to listen. he does his best to ignore it and put on a brave face however, he doesn’t want his siblings or anyone else to think it gets to him. they were royalty, of course — they had an image to uphold.
developing a fear of water is the last thing rio ever wants, but it’s not exactly something he can control. water is supposed to be his safe haven, and it is –until he’s thirteen and being held down beneath the surface of a pool by boys twice his size. ‘ so you’re a mermaid, huh? why don’t you show us how you breathe under water? ’ is all he can hear before his consciousness begins to fade in and out, and their laughter as he sputters to catch his breath rings in his ears once they finally let him go.
rio’s fond memories of water and the comfort it brings begin to dwindle not long after that, his mind soon clouded by traumatic flashbacks and debilitating anxiety whenever he goes underwater. eventually he distances himself from the sea that he loves so dearly, and with that he distances himself from family too.
his decision doesn’t come guilt free, not with the constant questioning and judgement from atlantica. wasn’t he supposed to be their next king? though not into water, rio dives head first into anything else he can master; just the thought of disappointment motivates him to be the best he can be in an any way he can.

No one will ever abuse her in the way they did since there is no more kindness in this heart.
