Rapunzel: The Girl Who Grew Backwards
She wasn’t trapped in the tower — she was growing toward it.
Historians found her bones curled beneath the tower floor. Each vertebra marked by candle burns, her hair woven through stone. The tower wasn’t built to imprison her; it grew around her like a shell.

Puss's Boots - Chapter 6
Gwynnë was everything that the siblings thought it would be and more. The buildings themselves shined, and it seemed as though they were reaching up to scrap the clouds. The streets were filled with all new sights and sounds and smells. Merchants lined the gutters, crying out their wares and keeping a cautious eye out for thieves. Their carts were full of polished ornaments and sweet smelling, spicy treats. Perfumes and fabrics overflowed the tables and booths; jewellery, weapons, and various other trinkets caught the light and shone.
