Once upon a time, there was a girl who sewed rags, day in, day out.
The stench of the rags seeped into her clothes.

Her stepsisters wore beautiful dresses and went to the ball.
The girl stayed at home and her jealousy festered.

One day, a fairy godmother came, cast a spell on the girl, and said,
"Sew yourself an ash-grey dress. Then, you can go to the ball like your stepsisters!"

The girl patched together the sooty rags, and that's how she became the Rag Princess.
A very stinky Princess indeed.
She stunk up the whole town, in fact.

No girl who stunk so would be allowed into the ball.
I'll make that girl wear this awful dress myself!

And thus, the Rag Princess and the girl in the rag dress became play pals.

Trivia[]

  • The storybook appears to be based off Cinderella. It tells the story of a girl in an abusive household who is forced to work as a maid for her family. She is forbidden from going to the kingdom's ball, but is suddenly helped by a fairy godmother. Her clothes are thus turned into a wonderful gown and glass slippers. At midnight however, the magic begins to fade as all that remains is the glass slippers. Said slippers eventually lead to her being married to the prince.
    • The version that inspired Rag Princess was likely the Brothers' Grimm edition. Here, in an effort to take Cinderella's place, her step sisters attempt to cut off parts of their feet to fit into the glass shoe. They also attempt to appeal to Cinderella at her wedding, only to have their eyes attacked by birds. This likely inspired Amanda's relentless need to do anything to raise in rank rather than Jennifer, only to be constantly dismissed and mistreated by the Aristocrats.
