Rapunzel

Do you have a request for painting somewhere on the train?

Then let me know here so I can keep track of where I am actually needed Because my memory is just awful at times

Rapunzel's memory from the last 48 hours if her meeting Flynn

She seemed anxious as she tugged on her hair, pulling the chair which had an unconscious stranger tied to it with hair closer to the only form of light that was about coming from the ceiling. She had no idea who this person was or how they managed to find her, but all she knew was he had gotten into the tower and she had managed to knock him out.

Pascal her best friend was with the stranger on the chair. She watched as her little chameleon started to try and wake them up. First by slapping him with his little feet, backing up to change to the blue of the jacket of the other. When that didn't work it was slapping him with his tail before ultimately a tongue in the ear seemed to jolt the young gentleman awake.

The young man seemed awake now and looking around while she had moved to a higher-up place, hidden from view in the darkness. Once she could tell he was looking up she gripped her frying pan and finally spoke.

"Struggling... Struggling is pointless." She calls from the darkness soon moving to the ground swiftly yet still hidden, but she seemed to have enough confidence to speak again, but still staying in the pitch black. "I know why you're here and I'm not afraid of you."

All the mysterious stranger before her could say was simply "What?"

Slowly her bare feet took a step closer, slowly edging her way toward the light from the window above., her hands gripping firmly on the frying pan in her hand. She needed to know who this was and why they were here. As soon as she stepped out she spoke once more "Who are you and how did you find me?"

It was something she needed to know and she was hoping to find the answers. He didn't seem to answer her question instead simply stating wow which she didn't quite understand why, so she figured this time to ask the same question, raising her frying pan a little as a way to try and get him to answer, ready to hit him at a moments notice.

This time she seemed to get some type of answer: "I know not who you are nor how I came to find you. but may I just say... hi" At the end, his expression changed. A weird...smile of some kind plastered on his face and an eyebrow was raised. Rapunzel didn't get it at all and she seemed rather confused. But at this confusion, he seemed to carry on, the whole time that face was staying put. "How you doin, the names Flynn Rider."

This whole thing just seemed to do nothing but confuse young Rapunzel, but her hands were on the frying pan and raised still, unsure as to what he might do next. Even as she looked on in confusion he seemed to still be carrying on. "How's your day going, huh?" Which to the young woman was a rather stupid question and the confusion seemed to turn into slight anger as she raised the frying pan a little higher.

She wanted answers and she honestly wanted them now. After all, Mother Gothel had told her she needed to know who it was that was after her.

"Who else knows my location, Flynn Rider." As she spoke, she had moved her frying pan so that it was pointed toward the man in front of her, eye narrowed slightly and her left foot forward.

"Alright, Blondie." He spoke as she was quick to reply "Rapunzel." She didn't know why he picked that name of all things, but at the same time, she had never stated otherwise. It seemed that afterward, he was explaining something before suddenly realizing something. Watching him suddenly looking around for a bag which the blonde knew about and had hidden Rapunzel was confident that she could at least negotiate something.

With a confident look on her face, she crossed her arms over her chest, frying pan still firmly within one hand. "I've hidden it. Somewhere you'll never find it." In her mind, it was a pretty good hiding spot, but it seemed to only take the other a few seconds to ask if it was in the pot, and with that it was lights out for the man again so she could find a much better spot.

Rapunzel's Positive Memory: When Rapunzel met Pascal and became friends.
A little green baby Chameleon had somehow managed to climb up a rather big tower. it seemed like it was safe, but soon a white snack with eyes the color of red and yellow wrapped around the poor thing, biting into it with a fang.

A young girl had stopped humming to herself and looked over seeing the event unfold. With that she had gone to grab a frying pan and was quick to use it as a weapon., hitting the snake on top of its head, causing a tooth to fall out. The snake didn't seem happy as the young blonde hide behind her frying pan for a moment before peaking out.

The snake saw her as it's next target for what she did a young Rapunzel was quick to swing the frying pan and send it flying out of the tower and saving the both of them. However, that was not to last as she saw the little chameleon pass out. She knew it was hurt and worried about it, the snake had bit it after all and that meant the poison was taking effect.

What else could she do? She went closer to them and gently wrapped her hair around it. Once she was sure that it was okay she started to sing a little song:

"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. Heal what had been hurt, change the fates' design. Save what has been lost, bring back what once was mine. What once was mine." As her voice rang through the tower walls her started to glow from the top of her hair towards the tips where the one she was healing was currently. When the song was over it reverted back to it's not glowing blonde state.

The chameleon seemed a little baffled, shaking itself out of the girl's hair as she moved so she was level with him. "Don't be afraid mister frog, you're safe now." That of which she was confident about.

Soon standing up once again, she figured it was best to simply get them to trust her, so removing a purple button from her nightgown she holds it up for him. "Here's it's yours." The little friend went to hide behind the window sill, so she carried on "It's a gift." This seemed to get the frog-like creature to come out a bit curious as she moved to put the button down on his head and within that moment the chameleon changed to the color of the button, causing her to giggle.

She soon extended her hand for the other to take, lifting him up and the smile was soon gone, replaced with something else as a connection was being made. "All alone, huh?" That was something she could understand. "So am I..." A frown on her face she looked to the side running a free hand through her hair. "Most of the time." Her mother would usually leave her alone after all.
But after a moment an idea came to her. Something she was sure would be a good idea. "If you want you can stay with me, then neither of us will be alone ever." It seemed her new friend was in agreement and the start of a beautiful friendship was born.

Rapunzel's Negative Memory: Gothel telling her she will never leave the tower.
"Rapunzel, let down your hair~" A voice called from outside the tower. Rapunzel happily made her way over, opening the shutters to the only window in the tower. "One moment, mother." she had replied, going to wrap her hair around a hook before throwing it down for the other to climb onto so she could pull her up.

"I have a big surprise." The woman in red called as she climbed on, but Rapunzel herself started to pull her up, seemingly used to doing such a thing so often. As she did her eyes looked back slightly as if she was looking toward an object, a closet type thing to be exact. "I do to," she said as she continued to pull the hair up, moving to go a bit further into the tower. The mother with a wide smile and a cheery sounding tone simply replied "I bet mine is bigger."

Rapunzel kept going, knowing she was now near the top, but her eyes were still looking elsewhere and in a volume that was close to a mutter stated "I seriously doubt it."

Gothel had soon managed to reach the top and sat on the edge so moved to get inside "I brought back parsnips, I'm going to make hazelnut soup for dinner, your favorite." With a swift turn and arms spread wide as if she was doing a performance. "Surprise~!"

As the other had been speaking, Rapunzel had sorted out hair so that it was no longer on the hook and slowly made sure that none of it was out of the tower anymore. Once she was sure the other had finished she seemed rather excited about something of her own, not the same thing as the mother seemed to be. "Well mother, there's something I want to tell you."

"Oh, Rapunzel you know I hate leaving you after a fight, esepcially when I have done absolutely nothing wrong." With each word, she removed her black cloak and hung it up before moving toward a table to put the basket with the said parsnips down.

"Okay, but I've been thinking a lot about what you said earlier." With each word, she kept looking off to the side. Towards the wardrobe whatever was in, there was something she might want to share with the other, but the mother was quick to reply before she was even finished "I hope you're not still talking about the stars." her face was clear, she was not happy about this subject even if Rapunzel had something to say about it.

"Floating lights." She correctly her as she started to move towards the wardrobe which just so happened to have a chair right in front of it as she continued "and yes I'm leading up to that..." And once again she seemed to be interrupted right back "Because I really thought we dropped the issue sweetheart." All said while she was getting out the parsnips.

"No mother I'm just saying you think I'm not strong enough to handle myself out there." With each word was a step clo0se to the chair and almost close enough to touch it and reveal why it was there in the first place, but mother had to speak, turning herself with a hint of confidence in what she was saying as if she knew full well what she was stating was a fact. "Oh darling, I know your not strong enough to handle yourself out there."

"If you just..." She edges that much closer. "Rapunzel we're done talking about this." And to the mother they were, but to Rapunzel, she needed to show that she was capable, and maybe then she can be let out for ponce in her life. "Trust me..." That was something she wanted, for her mother to trust her, but instead, it seems they were talking over one another as it went on with each Rapunzel Mother Gothel seemed to only get more annoyed with Rapunzel saying or starting to say that she knows what she is doing, but had been interrupted with Gothel having enough and yelling.

"Enough with the lights Rapunzel!" She seemed rather angry, determined to at least remind her supposed daughter that no she wasn't going anywhere "You are not leaving this tower... Ever!"

And that was that Rapunzel paused, her hand lightly on the chair she had been about to move, shocked and deep down a little sad. She really wasn't going to let her go. That was that. Even if it had been something she had wanted. As she removed her hand from the chair Gothel had gone to sit in a chair rather dramatically, to say the least

"Oh, great. Now I'm the bad guy."

Personality:
When we first see Rapunzel she appears to be a young girl with a really cheery personality even though for the many years she has been alive, she has lived within a tower, alone with only Pascal and her 'Mother' in pretty much isolation outside of that, so because of the situation she tends to be a bit naive when it comes to things and people from the outside. Since she had never seen anything before she would not know what was good or bad, only what Gothel had been telling her which she believes wholeheartedly to the point that she seems to lack little confidence in herself to even ask to do something she wants to do or have the confidence to go it alone.

Because of this Rapunzel has a lot of curiosity to want to go out into the world and see what is out there, but it took a long time for her to be able to even go as far as to touch the grass for the first time. Requiring her to be brave enough to go out even though she had been warned about what was out there. One factor to her finally being able to gather up the courage she needed to be able to achieve it was being Flynn entering the tower as he was someone who could actually take her to see what she always wanted to. Though even after she leaves the tower she has shown multiple times to switch between showing regret over her choice to defy Gothel and being excited and happy about the choice she made.

She had shown to do a lot of things within a small amount of time such as read books and make things, this is due of course to her being locked in a tower and also because of the amount she has learned during that time as well, since there wasn’t much one could do in a tower alone so she made sure to always keep herself as busy as she can. Another factor about Rapunzel is the fact that if she can if the situation calls for it is resourceful and think of how to deal with a situation should one suddenly happen such as when she first met Flynn/Eugene. While she had never dealt with such a situation before she had managed to knock him out with a frying pan and went about making sure that he was at least tied up before he woke up against. So while naive about what the world is like she is pretty smart when it comes down to it.

For most of her life, she had always wanted to go outside, see the world and experience it, instead of being trapped within the walls of the tower, after all, there is only so much in the tower without longing to go outside. She has only ever grown up with her 'Mother' so given this factor she can find it hard to disobey her, she has raised her, her whole life and therefore she is family in her eyes and just loves her mother, no matter what. Therefore when Mother Gothel tells her not to do something because it's for her own good, she usually agrees not to do it.

Though it took a long time for her to do it, Rapunzel can be determined once she sets her mind on something to then do it. Although it did take a long time for her to get the courage to leave the tower once she is out her determination and excitement grow as she goes along.

Key themes:
I believe the key theme for Rapunzel herself is rather simple. Learning to follow one's dreams no matter how scary or terrifying that might be and when you achieve that dream then figure out what the next one might be.

Another key theme is being able to find the strength in one's self as well be it to follow a dream you want or even if it's to stand up for yourself for the way you are treated.

Main Motivation:
Rapunzel's motivation, for the most part, is being able to see the lanterns that appear on her birthday every year. She wants to know what they are at her point in canon and find out why only that day of the year.

Skills:
There is a lot Rapunzel can do. When you hear the song 'When will my life begin' it's noted that she can do the following:
- Play Guitar
- Knitting
- Cooking
- Baking
- Paint and Crafts
- Ballet
- Pottery
- Ventriloquy
- Candle making
- Sew Dresses

Her Hair:
There is a reason for Rapunzel's unusual length of hair and that is because of its magical healing qualities. When she sings an incantation her hair glows and can be used to either heal what she wants it to, make a person younger or as later canon showed once bring someone back from the dead. But that was a tear and when she arrives won't be available to do. It's also great to use as a night light.

Item:
There are only two things really that she event has on her person and that is her trusty frying pan and her best friends Pascal who is a Chameleon.

I can always write another example if that one is considered a way to old.
