Original MMW post.

So the gist behind this is that Erica here is/was a member of the Gingerbread House Project (GHP,) a military operation which trained young children to become super-soldiers by having them believe they were characters from fairy tales, and that because they were these characters, they were also gifted with a special ability related to their stories and the immortality granted to them via their happily-ever-afters. For example, Erica was lead to believe that she was The Miller's Daughter/Queen from the story Rumplestilskin, and that through some twist in the story she was able to transform straw into whatsoever she willed.

Ten years ago the project was shut down because a child died in it. The others were scattered all around, and for the next ten years they had to learn how to adjust to real life. Most managed to balance their existence in 'reality' with their belief that they were fairy tales, but others began to doubt, either because of therapy or otherwise, and eventually they completely forgot their time in the Project and lost their gifts and their immortality. Now, however, those who do still remember have been called back to active duty to revive the Project. No one knows why, yet, but most are happy that they're able to come together again- even though some of them have changed considerably from the time when they were kids.

WHAT I WANT: More information on her profile, but essentially seven-and-a-half years after the project's disbanding, Erica got into a very serious car accident and had to be hospitalized for several months. In the hospital she met her mother, whom she hadn't seen since well before the Project's beginning and who was now dying of cancer. Her mom eventually recognized her, Erica didn't and didn't really believe her mom when she said they were related, but they got pretty close anyways, and even after she was released Erica visited 'til she died. I'd just like someone to explore that relationship with, as it became one of her defining ones despite the limited span of time it was contained in.

And then, from a GHP perspective, I'd love to have her king to thread with. I'm thinking that even though in the story he mostly married her out of greed (or at least, more of an interest in her ability than in her,) they hopefully still came to care for one another. She misses him very much.

WHAT THE COMM WANTS: Moar fairy tales from anything EVAR!!
