'Snowfall' - Story Breakdown

1: I DO NOT own Once Upon a Time, it's characters, or storyline. Once Upon a Time, story and characters, is owned by both Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
2: I DO NOT own the OC twist on Wilhelm Grimm, his design, or this concept of him. This twist belongs to Will Clark.
3: I DO NOT own any of the music featured in my stories.
4: I DO NOT own The Snow Princess or the various stories. The Snow Princess story which I use was one retold by Ruth Sanderson.

1: I DO own Eiry Meagher, her twist on the Snow Princess, and her story. I also own the cover images - as well as the art seen on my other fan fictions. Be respectful to my art and DO NOT steal it, or I WILL insure that you will pay for it.

1: This story is built around a roleplay with my lover as well as my previous Snowfall story; it's based off of the episodes starting off with the season 2 finale, And Straight on til Morning.
2: I know a lot of Pan's fans hate that he was made to be Rumpelstiltskin's father, but I hold a lot of respect for the series, though I too was let down, but I am keeping to the original story. You can choose whether or not to read because of this choice but I am not going to show disrespect to the creators by changing it.
3: Bold-italic phrases will indicate Eiry's thoughts or the thoughts of others while in their point of view. Italic-underlined phrases will indicate when the Spirits of Neverland are making contact with someone.
4: Anytime you see "()" it will indicate when Eiry is reliving a memory. When you see "..." it means the point-of-view has shifted to another character.
5: The music will be credited at the bottom of the page. If you see lyrics while Eiry is around, it will indicate that she is singing it. If you see the lyrics in "***," it will represent the chapter theme.


Name: Eiry Meagher [Meyer]
Name Interpretation: Majesty of the Snow
  Majesty of the Snow is an artistic interpretation play on my name, Eiry. Snegurochka, my biological/birth mother, was
  the original Snow Princess, passing the title down to me, after she died.
Nickname: Rie [Ray]
  Rie is a play on words as it consists of the first three letters of my name - Eiry. Rie is my preferred name,
  though, but I don't argue when certain people want to address me by my birth name.
Age: 17/13
  My story begins as I venture to Neverland in effort to rescue my little brother, before I lose him forever. I
  do have a tendency to reflect on my past, before and after my first time in Neverland.
Hair: Red with 2 White Streaks
  I was born with a full head of red hair, but the white streaks indicate two important pieces of my past,
  where the life of a loved one was lost or in danger of being lost. One, found in my right side, in
  my bangs, appeared with the passing of my foster mother. The second, located on the middle of my
  left side of my head, happened when my little brother was facing death after taking a bite of a poisoned
  apple turnover.
Eyes: Amethyst
  My unnatural eye color was caused by a magical birth defect. When my mother had conceived
  me, and learned of her pregnancy, a certain situation lead to her life deteriorating. Because
  of the magic that preserved her life energy, it fused into the magic already coursing through
  my my veins, and changed my eye color. However, like many other countless children, was born with
  grey eyes. After six months, my eyes changed to a more purple-ish hue. While I aged, my irises shifted between
  different shades of purple and violet, finally settling on the amethyst color that is commonly seen.
  Regardless of it being a birth 'defect,' my eyesight was never affected. Their shades do change from
  time to time depending on my emotions.
Gender: Female
Family...
  1: Mother Spring and Father Frost - Grandparents; Snegurochka/Lady Snow - Mother - Deceased; Father -
  Unknown
  I never knew my father, he left as soon as he found out my mother was pregnant. Being the original Snow
  Princess, my mother, Snegurochka, died because her 'true' love was untrue, he left her behind
  after her  pregnancy was announced. She would have died of a broken heart but she fought so she
  could have me. Unfortunately, my mother died after naming me.
  2: Riley and Danielle Benson - Foster Parents; Chris, Jordan, Leon, Caleb, Zane, Zeke, Travis Benson -
  Foster Brothers
  Brought into the care of the Benson's shortly after I turned two months old. Riley only had wanted boys,
  but because Danielle wanted a girl to raise, as she wasn't fertile, I was fostered. During my life in that
  home, I had a hard time coping with the boys as they were all older by a good few years. They
  picked on  me for being scrawny, and for being a girl. The ridicule was kept to name calling thanks to
  Danielle. Two months before my thirteenth birthday, Danielle faced a return of breast cancer - she was
  in recession from before I was fostered. I did everything I could to help her, the only one who cared
  about me, when I wasn't in school. Riley was drinking a lot more and tended to argue with the weakened
  woman, but regardless of this, she held up well against him. A week before my thirteenth birthday,  
  Danielle gave me advice I would always live by: "there is darkness everywhere, my darling, but always
  try to look deeper. The darkness may just surprise you. And remember to never loose hope." That
  night she died. Riley drowned his sorrows in booze, the boys did all the could to be strong, but
  I wasn't afraid to show my grief. I was given time off of school to deal with the loss. The morning of
  my birthday, I encountered one of the world's evils Danielle spoke of and left.
  3: Snow White - Adopted Mother; David "Charming" - Adopted Father
  After running away, I found something incredible, without realizing it; a wormhole. This wormhole brought
  me to a new world; the Enchanted Forest. I encountered various fairytale characters here, however
  they weren't all like the fairytales I grew up reading about. Their lives had twists, very much like
  my own. I felt at home in this world. I gained bonds with countless people, but the two most iconic to me
  was Snow White and Prince Charming. Charming, whose real name is David, was weary of me in the
  beginning, where as Snow trusted me instantaneously. After a proposal of a trial stay of six months,
  I gained his trust a week later, and began living with them full-time. From that point on, they acknowledged me
  as part of their family. Their adopted daughter. I aided them with their wedding preparations and was even
  appointed as the ring bearer, on their wedding day, later in the third month. Two weeks after their
  marriage, Snow was pregnant, and I couldn't wait to be a big sister. During the next two months,
  I assisted around the kingdom, like I had since the day of my arrival. However, one day, on my
  sixth month with them, Snow asked me to join Red on a trip to collect some berries - which was
  an errand Red ran a lot. After collecting berries, we were pursued by the Evil Queen's horsemen. Red
  told me to run, that she would meet me at the cliffs we had encountered earlier in the day, and lead them
  away. Upon my arrival, which was in the late night hours, Red still hadn't arrived. I was still  
  hopeful, though it was fading fast. After waking from a nightmare, it was within the early minutes of
  the eleventh hour, I heard a strange cry. I looked around only to find nothing. I turned around
  and saw a shadow, not a shadowed figure, but an actual living shadow. This shadow was the end to my
  happiness. He was the beginning to my never-ending nightmare in Neverland.
  4: Mary Margaret Blanchard - Mother-figure; Mr. Gold - Father-figure; Henry Mills - Brother
  After escaping the curse, I found myself in a town surrounded by people who bared great resemblances to
  people in the Enchanted Forest. Holding the key to my safety, I made my way through the town, coming
  across a pawn shop. I entered skeptically and came across the owner of the town, Mr. Gold, the
  cursed self of the man who saved me from Peter Pan. I hastily handed him the cane over to the man, who
  graciously accepted it. He automatically knew I wasn't from Storybrooke, as he admitted that he hadn't
  seen me around before. I became weary as he began mentioning the mayor, Regina, who I knew as the
  Evil Queen back in the Enchanted Forest. Regardless of his tie to Regina, he promised to keep me safe,
  as a favor. He said that he felt like he owed me, though he never told me why. I graciously accepted
  it and went to explore more of the town, bumping into a woman who was the cursed counterpart of my
  adopted mother. I immediately broke down into tears and, shockingly, this woman comforted me. I
  told the woman, Mary Margaret Blanchard, my story, excluding the parts about the Enchanted Forest
  and Neverland. She seemed to understand, and invited me to stay with her til I got situated.
  She often debated about informing Regina, but ultimately decided against it. She home schooled me, as it
  protected me from Regina. One day, on my fifteenth birthday, I went to Granny's like I did every morning, to
  indulge in some hot chocolate. I saw a little boy, no older than nine years-old sitting alone, looking
  rather lonely. I went over to his table and sat with him. He continued to stare into his hot
  chocolate. I smelled cinnamon and smiled, asking him if cinnamon in hot chocolate tasted good. This
  seemed to catch his attention, briefly, and he admitted it did. I asked Granny to put a stick
  in my cup, which she did so happily. He went back to staring off, and I felt I needed to do
  something, so I began to sing a song I knew. As soon as the lyrics began, he watched me carefully,
  listening intently. I finished the song and smiled once more to him. The boy introduced himself as
  Henry Mills, Regina's adopted son. I didn't care for his mother, but I knew that this boy and I
  would form a bond not even the strongest of magic could shatter. Every time Henry would feel sad, I would
  make it snow, and we would have fun in the snow together. His favorite thing to do in the snow was
  building a snow woman, Princess Snow. As we did this, I promised that I'd always be there for him.
  When I was 16, I was told that I was accepted into a high-standard private high school in Boston,
  thanks to Mr. Gold's influence, and had to leave Storybrooke. However, I promised to return home when
  I was done. Before I left, Mr. Gold gave me the key to the town. His reason behind this was because
  Storybrooke was my kingdom only Earth-bound, as he remembered my being daughter to Snow White and
  David. He and I were the only ones who knew that he wasn't affected by the curse - I mean he IS
  the Dark One and obviously the Dark One would know how to avoid the affects of the Dark Cruse. While
  I was gone, Henry and I would email each other every day. When I returned to Storybrooke, I
  had learned that he was brought to the one place I had hoped to leave in my past... Neverland.
Personality: Emotional, loving, and motherly. Intuitive and cautious. Imaginative. Protective. Superstitious. Unpredictable. Playful. Fiesty and passionate. Protective. Skeptical towards strangers and will usually judge based on first impressions. Sometimes clingy and hard to let go. I can hold a grudge.

Distinguishing Marks/Features: Though I was born Russian, I have picked up on my foster family's British accent. I wear a pallet consisting of light blues, white, and pale grays.

Name: Wilhelm Grimm
Name Interpretation: Strong-willed Warrior
Nickname: None
Age: Unknown
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Brown(Left), Purple(Right)
 This is known as heterochromia. Layman's terms: two different colored eyes. In Wilhelm's case, he wasn't
 born with the
 defect, it was caused but the concentration of magic that had been summoned in the accident which
 had occurred over a hundred years ago.
Gender: Male
Family:
 1: Jacob Grimm - Brother - Deceased
 Wilhelm and Jacob were always close growing up. They attended school together and always shared the same
 roof. One day, as Wilhelm and Jacob were working - doing research and archiving their stories - they
 came across a spell. Unknowing of the spell's power, or legitimacy, Wilhelm read out the spell. The spell
 destroyed Jacob and since then, Wilhelm has been on his own, trying to use the dark magic he was cursed with
 in the name of good.
Personality: Witty, stubborn, and a fast talker, but loyal, honorable, and trustworthy. Feigns stupidity on occasion to read people better.

Every fairytale character in Once Upon a Time has a twist - some bigger than others. Eiry is my interpretation of The Snow Princess from author Ruth Sanderson. Unlike her fairytale counterpart, Eiry was born half mortal, as her mother was the original Snow Princess. She inherited the ability to control snow/ice from her. Like other magic users in Once Upon a Time, Eiry's magic comes at a price, however this price only occurs when a true love of hers dies or faces death. The price: her heart freezes and she will be stuck in an eternal frozen slumber. Like the Dark Curse, once the freezing of Eiry's heart begins, it cannot be stopped, but it CAN be reversed after it is completed. The key to freeing her from the death-like sleep: an act of true and selfless love. Being that Ruth Sanderson's The Snow Princess isn't as well known as Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen, Eiry is labeled 'Snow Queen' and may sometimes refer to herself as such. Though there is a major difference between the fairytale characters, Eiry knows the difference, and accepts the title as she is the age of an unofficial queen. Wilhelm is my lover's interpretation of one of the famed fairytale authors Wilhelm Grimm, of the Grimm brothers. He has put a unique spin on a real person, making him his OC. He was cursed with dark magic after uttering the spell which ultimately killed his brother Jacob, and now walks the realms as an immortal. More about each character will be revealed as we go, not just for you, the readers, but me as well. Isn't character development amazing?
