The most effective thing about Ever After High is that every student has their own personal struggle that adds another element to just how life-ruining the destiny system is.
Apple is so terrified of what will happen to her if she doesn’t follow her destiny, that she is willing to compromise everyone else’s happiness to make sure it happens. This disregard for other people is only encouraged by the influential adults in her life.
Ashlynn has to be a servant to an abusive family and live knowing that the ultimate end to her supposedly happy ending is dying to set the stage for her daughters traumatic backstory, starting the whole cycle over again with no chance for any of them to escape.
Blondie feels so pressured to fit in to a deeply classist/monarchist society and ashamed of her parentage that she constantly presents a fake version of herself to everyone she knows, even her best friends.
Briar has to spend her whole life waiting for the moment her destiny comes and she falls asleep for a century. She knows that when she’s woken up, she will be forced to marry a boy dozens of years younger than her who she’s never met and live knowing that everyone she ever loved is dead and gone, the very things that she watched cause her mother’s emotional breakdown.
Cedar’s father was so afraid of watching her repeat his mistakes that he overcorrected, making it impossible for her to ever learn lessons for herself. She is also forced to share incredibly personal details with anyone who asks her questions, and can’t be trusted by her friends with any of their secrets, and it’s all because of her father’s past trauma.
Cerise has to hide who she truly is and never gets to see her family together and happy despite the fact that her parents have potentially the most healthy and mutually beneficial marriage in the whole franchise.
Daring was groomed from birth for a destiny that ends up not actually being his at all, leaving him aimless, feeling as though he has no purpose and has wasted his entire life.
Darling is forbidden by patriarchy and destiny to become a knight, the only thing she really wants, and at which she would be better than both of her brothers. She has to hide who she is and what she loves from everyone she knows
Dexter lived his whole life never knowing what his destiny would be but also knowing that whatever it was he’d have to commit to it forever the moment he discovered it at Legacy Day.
Duchess has spent her whole life knowing that the story she’s commited to living out ends in tragedy for her, and then had to watch the very people she’s been jealous of for years because of their seemingly happy endings give up those endings, while Duchess, loyal and rule following Duchess, is still stuck with her tragedy.
Faybelle tries so hard to commit to what she sees at her destiny that she’s never had a real friend in her life. Even still, no one recognizes her for all that effort and all she’s given up to be a suitable villain. Everyone is more afraid of Raven, who doesn’t even want to be evil.
Hunter has to constantly go against his moral compass to fulfill his destined role as a Huntsman and to try and make his father proud of him.
Kitty has been taught over and over again to value her Mother’s approval over all else, even at the expense of her friends. Her destiny is to create mischief, but how much more mischief can a dissolving world take before it’s too much?
Lizzie finds it almost impossible to express love or care for anyone else due to her mothers excessive conditioning that’s nearly akin to brainwashing. The saddest thing might be that her mother is actually, in her own way, trying her best to prepare Lizzie for a world that will only ever see her one way—as a villain. Now she lives in Ever After, princess to a kingdom that might not even exist for much longer, having given up everything for a destiny that may soon be impossible.
Maddie is a refugee forced from her home into a world she barely understands at a tender age. But she cannot express any angst or negative feelings about this circumstance, because to do so would go against her character. She lives in a world obsessed with destiny and stories while not even knowing if she’ll ever be able to return home and live out her story.
Raven is judged by almost everyone around her for her mothers crimes, many of which were required of her by destiny in the first place. She is nearly forced to commit to becoming a tyrannical megalomaniac (and almost falls into it herself, several times) who would be sentenced to lifelong punishment and torture for committing acts that weren’t even her idea in the first place, and the one punishing her would have been the very girl who begged so often for her to stop being so difficult and just follow her destiny.
it’s about time i read the rest of the eah books that i have but i’m a professional procrastinator lmao.
AAHHHHHHH I LOVE IT!!! I'M SO MAKING FANART!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!
More info on design and story under the cut. :)) and disclaimer, most of their stories are ones I completely made up cause I didn’t wanna butcher some old story and I couldn’t find ones that neatly fit so this also counts as original story time, I guess.
Ballister Blackheart- the next Belladonna Blackheart from the tale The Poisoned Princess.
Starting with the Boss, Ballister Blackheart is a rebel with a royally complicated past.
His mother was a villain who dutifully fulfilled her destiny despite her reservations against it, but when running away from the royal guards as the story goes, she accidentally took a wrong turn in the enchanted forest and was never seen again. With only a Baby Bal who bore her striking resemblance found from the long chase.
Queen Valerin Suremeyer, his mother’s cousin and ‘nemesis’ felt guilty at the boy’s situation and determines to raise him alongside her daughter, Meredith Suremeyer.
So Bal grows up with Valerin as a mother figure, Meredith as a lab partner and sibling, and enters his second year of Ever After High confused and conflicted on what he must do to fulfill his destiny, or if he even wants to fulfill his destiny at all. It doesn’t help when he rooms with the cute golden royal and befriends the strange pink transfer student.

Ambrosius Goldenlion- the next Gloreth Goldenlion in the tale The Lion Wall
Ambrosius is the grandson of the acclaimed Gloreth Goldenlion, guardian of the Lion Wall and protector of her kingdom’s borders. She was also known to have banished an evil monster that was threatening the entire Fairytale World.
Despite living with her, Ambrosius is distant with her and has a complicated relationship with his grandmother who trained and raised him. Does he want to be her? Or is his heart secretly pushing him towards a different destiny?
He is closed off other people with his charming smile and tendency to not answer any questions about his wellbeing. Everybody knows of him, but like the walls he is destined to guard, his inner thoughts are impenetrable. Unless, of course, you are his cute rebel roommate with a penchant for engineering and a hidden talent in swordfighting.

Nimona Shifter
Exchange student from Monster High
Scaritage: ???
Nimona awoke to find himself in New Salim without any memories. After being chased by a mob, rejected by the animals, and hiding in old libraries pouring over stories that felt oddly familiar, they finds themself in Monster High under the care of Headmistress Bloodgood. In her studies, she learns to socialize with others, push her powers to limits, and embrace her freaky flaws. Hearing the adventures of stories of the other students from places near and far, and her constant fascination with fairytales, she becomes an enthusiastic 1st year candidate for the exchange program for Ever After High, along with C.A. Cupid.
They rooms with Meredith Suremeyer, an eccentric scientist from one of her favorite stories, The Poisoned Princess, and soon befriends both her and her brother, Ballister Blackheart. She avoids Ambrosius Goldenlion, feeling a strange sense of familiarity from him every time he smiles and bites into an apple.
Still, he feels ecstatic at all the secrets that are waiting to be explored on the new campus, and a certain underground librarian more than willing to help him unlock them.

If the long hair surprised you, that’s because all three of them are going to have it rough after Legacy Day, and what better way to deal with stress than chopping off your hair?
Wanted to draw this au,now with my two favourite show i'll make the rest later
Eah textpost cause why not
while we're on the subject WHY IS ROSABELLA THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T GET SLEEVES???
and possibly even funnier why did she TAKE AWAY EVERYONE'S GLOVES 😭😭😭 literally everyone in the "before" was wearing gloves and in the after literally no one is which leads me to believe that while faybelle definitely does have favourites she also doesn't mind too much if her favourites die too.
faybelle giving everyone a fashion makeover during epic winter was cute but it's kinda funny that her magic turned blondie's leggings (reasonable and practical) into knee-high socks. when they were going into the tundra. that's attempted manslaughter i think. faybelle even said "how about something a little warmer?" before casting her spell. babe which of the two did you think was gonna help her more in the tundra. if i was blondie i would've pushed faybelle off the sled
(also hilarious how she turned ashlynn and rosabella's impractical outfits into practical ones. she even gave them leggings too. faybelle had her favorites and it certainly wasn't blondie)
