I Tink I figured out my Rapunzel team character inspirations...

I was thinking of taking the other two OCs from "Severed Head", an Italian fairy tale I read when I was in Primary School and shares elements with Rapunzel... but I couldn't find an online source for it...

But I did come across another Italian fairy tale called Prunella that is at the same time derived from another Italian fairy tale called Prezzemolina. They both share with Rapunzel the theme of a pregnat woman/child taking food from the garden of an evil woman and as a result the child is abducted and raised by them.

I personally prefered Prunella and it gave me the idea to have the other two OCs of the team based of Prunella (the girl) and Bensiabel (the son of the witch who is in love with the girl and helps her despite her rejection).

So that way I have Rapunzel who is vain, egocentric but has some form of moral compass.

Dame Gothel who is a downright shitty person.

Prunella who is good but prejuidced and (what do you call someone who gives up easily?)

And Bensiabel who keeps the team together.
