LOSER'S BRACKET, ROUND 1A! MATCH 8 OUT OF 8!

Loser's Bracket Propaganda Under the Cut:

Elegance "Ella" Herringbone Coach:

She’s a union gal.

As a reminder: she's a former child laborer who wants to use her family's newfound privilege to fight for workers' rights. She's brave, smart, and compassionate, although she can also be reckless, because she's just a kid trying to do her best and she deserves BETTER. She actually develops a good relationship with her step-family, who are badass and Black like her, and there's this really touching moment at the end that recontextualizes things a lot and it's very sweet and cool worldbuilding. Her fairy godmother is two gay contractors who overthrow their boss for being complicit in a corporate espionage/coup scheme. She has a nice and believable relationship with her prince, who is a fucking dork that learns to be less of a privileged idiot and would put his ass on the line for her in return. She's just so GOOD and Disenchanted is UNDERRATED, everyone go and read it.

Hoshizora Miyuki / "Cure Happy":

Because I love her and I think we need magical girl representation

Prince Charming isn’t looking for true love, but he’s done playing with people’s hearts too, now that The Charming Curse has been broken. Serge is an executive fairy godfather. He’s granted wishes beyond your wildest dreams, even made queens out of barmaids, but now he caters…

[fairytale-poll]

ROUND 1A, MATCH 12 OUT OF 16!

*The image being used for The Wide-Awake Princess is the book cover, though neither of the characters on it are Eleanor / Cinderella. There is no official art of her that I could find and am using the book cover as a place-holder. If you have found OFFICIAL art of the character that I did not feel free to send it in.

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Eleanor:

She’s a pretty typical Cinderella, but her magic falls apart early because she bumped into the protagonist who has anti-magic >:3

Elegant "Ella":

Ella fights for labor reform! I just reread the book intentionally so I could make propaganda for her but now my head is empty only LOVE FOR ELLA. She has two (gay) fairy godfathers, she worked in a sweatshop where her mother died, she has a well-developed with her prince, Dash Charming. The glass slippers are a very important motif even though she doesn’t actually get a pair herself because she was a secret fairy godparent case because the fairy godparent organization had become corrupt and wasn’t helping needy children, only the rich. It’s a sequel to Grounded which is a Rapunzel story, but Disenchanted stands alone in the same world and it’s my most favorite of the two!! She’s so kind and helps institute kingdom wide labor reform and ahhhhhhhh

Former child laborer who wants to use her family's newfound privilege to fight for workers' rights. Brave, smart, and compassionate, although she can also be reckless, because she's just a kid and she deserves BETTER. Actually has a good relationship to her step-family, who are badass and Black like her, and there's this really touching moment at the end that recontextualizes things a lot and it's very sweet and cool worldbuilding. Her fairy godmother is two gay contractors who overthrow their boss for being complicit in a corporate espionage/coup scheme. She has a nice and believable relationship with her prince, who is a fucking dork that learns to be less of a privileged idiot and would absolutely put his ass on the line for her in return. She's just so GOOD and Disenchanted is UNDERRATED, everyone go read it.

Her goal is to improve workers rights, directly inspired by the 19th century textile industry, right down to child labor and workers getting locked in factories. Her mother died working in a sweatshop. She struggles with her working class upbringing and her new upper class status after her father's invention made them rich. Not afraid of breaking the law. She's so cool and her book is so good.

LOSER'S BRACKET INFORMATION

Welcome to the Loser's Bracket!

Now that all of the nominations have been collected and counted, I was able to create the list of matches for Round 1. If you do not see a character that has lost that you think belonged here, then I am sorry to say that means they were not nominated. Unlike the main tournament, where I seeded the bracket, the bracket for the Loser's Bracket was randomly generated to avoid redoing matches from the main tournament.

There will be a total of 32 participants and 16 polls in Round 1, which will be divided into two sets (16 participants and 8 polls for Round 1A and 1B each). Unlike the main tournament, every poll will last only a day instead of a full week. This is so the Loser's Bracket will go quickly and finish around the time the finals of the main tournament come out. Only 16 participants will win and make it through to the Losers Bracket Round 2. The losers will stay where they were banished in the Shadow Realm after losing in the main tournament, while the rest are a step closer to escaping the Shadow Realm and reaching the salvation of light.
