Prompt: "Fairytales are real" and there couldn't be anything worse."
"Hi, my name is Rue, and my fairytale is worse than Cinderella's and Snow White's.
In "The Worst Fairytale," I, Rue, dive headfirst into an adventure that...
Rue, our fiery protagonist, is a force to be reckoned with. Imagine a young woman whose spirit is as untamable as the wind. Her pride is evident in the way she carries herself, with a posture that suggests her nose is always "touching the sky." This isn't just about her physical stance; it's a testament to her indomitable will and towering self-esteem.
No one can bend Rue's will or dictate her actions. She prefers to take her own decisions with a boldness that others might shy away from. This independence isn't born out of rebellion but a deep-seated confidence in her own judgments and desires.
Rue = protector of nature

Eryndor - Fae King
Judging solely by appearances, he's the epitome of masculine beauty: muscular, with a chiseled jawline, emerald green eyes, and sharp features. His body emits a golden aura under the sun, strikingly beautiful. However, when it comes to his demeanor, he's moody, antagonistic, and rude, with a particular disdain for humans. Should a human dare to touch him, he feels compelled to bathe immediately. He shows kindness only towards his own kind. As the elder brother in the Fae royal family, he's next in line for the throne. Despite his youthful appearance, he's 300 Earth years old.
He's someone you can rely on to rescue you from monsters, but don't expect him to extend the same courtesy if you're human. That much is certain.
