Rapunzel worried about Cassandra all the time. She always seemed so lost in thought and liked to keep to herself, which was fine, Rapunzel totally respected that, it just was...she had a hard time knowing when to back off sometimes. So when Cass did reach out to her she always got so intense, and normally Cass ended up shrugging her away but that wasn’t happening this time, which made Rapunzel’s smile only grow wider and wider. “That is the spirit! I can’t wait to see what you have in store. You always manage to surprise me.”

Cassandra sighed and rolled her eyes. No matter how hard she tried to put up a tough facade in front of Rapunzel she always managed to crack half of a smile. “And I love you,” she replied. Cass didn’t always care if people didn’t like her but once in a while there would be a person she wanted to impress– not often, but when they didn’t like her it really rubbed her the wrong way. She knew she could be a…challenging person at times, and not always the most approachable, but she didn’t think she was a bad person. “Corona won’t know what hit ‘em once I’m done showing them the real me,” she said with a smirk.

“ ‘ be myself ‘ what kind of garbage advice is that? “

Rapunzel shook her head at her. “Cassandra, it’s the best advice anyone can ever give to you.” She took her friends hands in her own. “You’re amazing. And I know that people already love you for you. So it should be no problem to just....apply that everywhere. I love the real you, and if someone doesn’t then...they are a mean person and you don’t need that in your life!” She grinned at her. “So, what do you say? We go out and really show Corona the real Cassandra?” @cassengarde

“ i’m about to do something terrible. “ (naveen)

Rapunzel wasn’t sure if that was something to take seriously or not. A warning or a joke? It was hard for her to tell them apart sometimes. And when it came to Naveen....she really didn’t know. Setting her journal aside, she looks at him properly. “And what could you do that is so terrible?” she said lightheartedly, a smile on her face. “Do you wanna talk it out first? I’m sure we can come up with a solution that makes you feel like whatever you end up doing isn’t terrible. We can do this together!” @naveenmaldonia

“ besides … i look cute in a tiara. “ -- flynn

Rapunzel let out a giggle as she collapsed on her bed. She hadn’t expected Flynn to pick up her tiara and mess with it, but she was glad he did. He did look pretty cute with it on. Maybe he could be the lost princess instead; she was sure he would be good at it. “You do look pretty cute, Eugene, you got me there,” she said as she sat up again. “Did you want to try on my jewelry next? I think they will match your eyes pretty well.” @theflynnriders

Rapunzel loved Eugene’s friends. To her, they were practically family and she loved them as such. Naveen was...eccentric most of the time, but he was really funny too. And sweet. And always kept her on her toes. She never knew what was going to come out of his mouth, and she loved that, she really did. “Ummm...yeah?” She honestly didn’t see the difference, but she knew it meant a lot to Naveen if she she did. So she tried her best to spot something. To notice one sparkle in his eyes versus his picture. The more she stared at the picture, the more she saw his point, to the degree in which she did believe his claim enough to mean what she was saying. “It’s just really good to see you back as yourself. Though, the little hats you had were charming.”

“So I have a very important question to ask you.” Naveen glances up from his phone, looking over at Rapunzel with a smile. It isn’t often that the two of them spend time together on their own, any time spent together usually with Flynn, but with one of his best friends working late, he’s more than happy to entertain the blonde while they wait. “Am I more beautiful than ever since turning back into a human?” It is, of course, the exact opposite of an important question, but one that Naveen and his inflated ego want to know the answer to none the less. Showing her his phone to reveal a selfie he’d been staring at intently, he holds it up next to his face so that she can compare the two. “I really think my eyes have an extra little sparkle now or something. What do you think?” // @punzdrop​

Rapunzel was grateful to have the stage as their hangout. Any chance to be out of the palace and alone with Eugene was a good time, even it was centered around school. Not that school was a bad thing either; Rapunzel loved every second she spent at collage. But she loved not being followed around for once even better. At Eugene’s request Rapunzel closed the textbook she had been pretending to read and scrunched up her nose. “Entertain you.....? I dunno. I’m not reading anything better than your script. Did you wanna....go somewhere else?”

Laying on his back in the middle of the university’s theater stage, Flynn nonchalantly flipped through the script he’d been assigned to read over tonight. It was a common spot for the two to hang out in after school hours - neutral ground that was often abandoned during this time. With an entire palace at their disposal one would think they’d spend more time there, but the thief tried his best to avoid the place, regardless of the fact that it was Rapunzel’s home. “Blondie,” he sighs heavily, dropping the book down onto his chest and turning his head to look at the girl. “I’m bored. Entertain me. Save me from this hellscape I’ve been doomed to attend called college.” @punzdrop​

HEADCANONS

rapunzel was a prisoner for the first eighteen years of her life. she didn’t know it and she is still coming to terms with it. her “mother” madame gothel told her that the world was dangerous and that going out beyond their little cottage would only get her hurt and rapunzel believed her because she was her mother and she claimed to love her. she wove the most terrifying stories and with the magic she possessed....it only made sense.

rapunzel tried to keep busy as the years flew by.  she was doing chores, painting, learning how to play chess, and other silly little hobbies that she should not have had time to do. gothel wasn’t the best teacher when it came to her studies, so she had to learn what she could from the few non fiction books in the cottage. but even then she still was so unaware to what really went on outside of the woods. the closest she ever got was when pascal entered her life into that clearing.

having pascal was the best thing that could have happened to her. meeting him was fate and when he would sneak off to see her, rapunzel had a smile on her face that stayed there for the rest of the week. she didn’t want to say she was a little desperate for the days she would get with him, but she sort of was.

the only event she ever had to look forward to was her birthday. each day on her birthday floating lanterns flooded the sky. rapunzel thought they were the most beautiful thing she had ever seen and would paint them frequently along the walls of the cottage. her birthday also happened to be the day her life changed forever.

when flynn crashed into her life, rapunzel was skeptical. she was scared, but she intrigued, and her curiosity overpowered her fear. finally she had someone who could show her the lanterns without her getting eaten alive by something. he clearly knew what he was doing and she trusted him right from the start to get her where she needed to go and nothing more.

the more she spoke to flynn, the more it became clear that something wasn’t right. pieces were coming together, but the bigger picture was still so unsure. it wasn’t until flynn had gotten hurt while they tried to get out of a dangerous situation on their trip that the truth started to reveal itself.  rapunzel had healed him without question and then the questions about her life came pouring out. she learned the origin of the lanterns and the lost princess and the more she learned about her, the most they both wondered if she was indeed this lost princess. for so long rapunzel was told she was special because of her magic and that if she didn’t have it, she would be nothing, but this....was beyond anything she could understand.

she confronted gothel about it because it was something too big to ignore. she was surprised by how easily the truth slipped out and in retaliation for leaving and discovering her truth, gothel tried to kill flynn. rapunzel was lucky she was able to get to him in time to keep him alive from the stab wound he had inflicted at gothel’s hand, and just when she was about to be taken away forever yet again, guards flooded the cottage and gothel was arrested. they were there for flynn originally, but when they saw who they were dealing with, they went for the bigger picture. thanks to flynn, rapunzel was reunited with her family. and life was never the same since.

adjusting to palace life was hard. her father had people watching her almost every second and she felt like she was suffocating. but at the same time she was finally allowed to go out and see corona. she was unlearning everything gothel had taught her, but still tried her best to be cautious. no one but flynn, cassandra, pascal, and her parents knew about her magic and she intended to keep it that way. she is unaware that more people know about it than she wants, but they haven't heard it from her lips.

the fact that she is even able to keep secrets shocks her since she tries to be as open and over share as much as possible. she is nurturing and never wants anyone to feel like they couldn't go to her for something.

as naïve as she is, rapunzel knows that she is a lot more aware than people give her credit for. she feels like even when she is learning more about princess life she is being coddled, and she just wants to take life on full-force and learn about....well everything. she is happy to be in college, majoring in art history of course, and she is grateful she is able to explore more parts of corona than she ever thought she could.

but she is still very haunted by her past. she has trouble sleeping sometimes, and to deal with that she works on a journal her mother gave her. she paints in it more than she writes in it, but it helps her gather her thoughts together. she finds it better than falling asleep, having constant nightmares about gothel breaking out of prison, and waking up on the balcony from her sleep walking.

now that rapunzel roams a little freer, she is trying to meet as many people as possible. with the island being home to so many outsiders over the last few years, she really enjoys hearing their stories. it goes beyond wanting to learn about her people; she wants friends, she wants to feel like the entire island is her family.

the pressure of being a princess takes its toll on her every now and then. she often wonders if this is something she can actually do. she reads up on corona law and its history a lot in her free time, but when it comes to making everyone happy....she cannot stand letting a single person down. so if she makes a mistake in judgement it hits her hard.

as much as she knows the people in her life love her, it's hard sometimes to grasp. she thought gothel loved her, and she hoped she loved her, but that wasn't the case. she has to take it slow with people even though her instinct is to jump right into it (which she tends to do anyways).

one of her favorite activities is star gazing. she taught herself astronomy, and she used to talk to the stars when she lived with gothel. in a way, some of the constellations were best friends to her.

she does NOT like shoes, and is barefoot most of the time. she knows it isn’t something people think is smart of her, but she likes to take in the world in every way she can. she feels trapped when she is wearing shoes and the most she will ever do is sandals.

when it comes to technology, she has no idea what she is doing. she is trying her best to learn how to use her phone that her father insists she carries, but most of the time it is turned off because she rather not have it making noises at her and she has yet to grasp the concept of muting notifications.

she is learning self-defense. all she really knows now is how to use a frying pan as a weapon, but she wants to learn basic self defense just in case something happens. cassandra is the person she wants to teach her, but every time she goes to her she is a little weary. rapunzel has yet to give up yet.

corona and its people come first to her. no matter what is going on with her, no matter how hard the situation might be, she will always put this island first. sometimes she thinks about the world beyond corona, but she knows that when she is time to leave, it’ll happen. for now she just wants to feel the wind in her hair as she explores every nook and cranny on the island.

she is fascinated by the magic on the island and wants to learn more about her own magic. she isn’t really sure who to talk to about it, but she has been doing her own research. it seemed that more and more people were gaining magical abilities and while a lot of them apparently didnt feel the need to hide them, rapunzel still thinks it is best if she hides her own.

she likes to keep her hair in a messy braid. it has gotten fairly long over the years but she still has yet to cut it. she doesn’t mind the braid for now, and even though it is messy, people like to tease her for having the cleanest hair on the island somehow.

her birthday is May 12th (taurus)

she really doesn't go into the woods much anymore unless she is really really stressed and needs to escape. sometimes she visits the cottage she was raised at and climbs into her old bed and draws. it's the one secret she keeps to herself. she knows it wasn't her real home, but at the same time it was. her entire childhood was there and sometimes it's hard to let go of that.

she doesn’t have any official pets but she does quietly adopt every stray animal that crosses her path. they don't know it, but she does and that's all that matters.

sometimes she wants to confront gothel about it all, but she knows she would never be allowed to visit her. and she isn't sure if she will ever be ready to see her face in the flesh again.

|| Get to know RAPUNZEL CASTELL who’s TWENTY-ONE years old and a JUNIOR in college majoring in ART HISTORY. She is from CORONA and is often times mistaken for KATHRYN NEWTON while others say she reminds them of RAPUNZEL from TANGLED. ||

Take a peek at her story:

For the first eighteen years of her life, Rapunzel lived a total lie. She thought she was the only daughter of a single mother, Madame Gothel. She knew she was different from the rest of the world, that much was for certain, because she had magic - something Gothel told her was rare and must be protected. She fed the young girl with stories of all the horrors in the world and the awful things people would do to her for her abilities. Because of this, Rapunzel was never allowed to leave the cottage they lived in within the enchanted forest. And out of fear, Rapunzel listened, never leaving the area. The furthest she would go was just to a small clearing not too far from the home - still within earshot if she screamed loud enough. Or at least, that was as far as she went until a thief stumbled upon her home in search of a hideout on the same day that just so happened to be her eighteenth birthday and the annual festival held in Corona City in honor of the lost princess - not that Rapunzel knew about the event, all she had ever seen of it was the floating lanterns the island set off at night every year. Meeting Flynn on this exact day seemed like fate. Gothel was gone for a few days and she finally had someone who could guide her to the source of the lanterns. Originally she had every intention of returning to her forest home afterwards, but once she attended the festival and told Flynn a bit more about herself and her life it became clear to the two of them that something wasn’t right. With a bit of digging they found the truth behind Gothel - she wasn’t actually Rapunzel’s mother at all. And from there they eventually came to the conclusion that she was also the lost princess. 

A confrontation with Gothel revealed that the woman had kidnapped Rapunzel as a baby when she noticed signs of magic present in the island’s newborn princess. The king and queen hadn’t even realized what their daughter possessed, but Gothel knew and wanted it for herself. A small scuffle occurred between the group that eventually led to Gothel’s arrest and a reunion between the royal family. Though happy to be with her actual parents and free to see the whole island now, the warnings of Gothel still rang in her head… and because of that and the already overwhelming sense of complete change, Rapunzel kept her powers a secret from her family. The decision to re-open the gates had just been made and she didn’t want them to take back that choice, eager to meet everyone who would surely want to visit Corona. Over the years, she has started to adapt to being a princess and is slowly coming into her own as a ruler. But she still has yet to tell many people about her magic because even for all she says she’s moved on and is over everything that Gothel put her through, the truth is maybe it still haunts her more than she realizes.

POWER UPDATE: She was born with the ability to heal and rejuvenate others through one simple touch.
