Witch                                                    22% of story

I don't understand why mature, appearance-challenged women like me always come off as totally unsympathetic characters in this kind of story. I mean, first my neighbors trespass on my property and steal from my garden. Then, when I give their daughter every opportunity to advance herself, she gets involved with a bungling royal. Where's the gratitude? That's what I want to know! Where's the appreciation?

Prince                                                 13% of story

It is such a trial being a handsome prince. You have no idea of the time you have to put in to maintain your looks. It's rush, rush, rush, from the gym to a fitting with the tailor, to a ball, or a reception. I have absolutely no time for myself. And my subjects will keep standing in front of mirrors, so I can't see how I look. Plus, women all over my kingdom throw themselves at me wherever I go. Do you think someday I'll find someone who will love me for myself alone?
