Paperbag Princess


CHARACTER
Vardell believes that the thing that makes storybook characters memorable is not they are “cute, sweet, and well-behaved, but by being very individual with a strong self of self.”
Princess Elizabeth proves her strength and embraces her individuality after a dragon kidnaps the prince she is to marry.  After outwitting the dragon- in a paper bag shift because the dragon singed her clothe off-she realizes that the obnoxious prince is just not the right fit for her and doesn’t marry the “bum.”
