Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a princess living the seemingly “perfect” life. Giselle lives in the fairy-tale world of Andalasia with friendly talking animals, and she is about to marry her one true love, the handsome Prince Edward. She is well on her way to her happily-ever-after. But no fairy tale would be complete without a villain. Enter Queen Narissa, Edward’s evil stepmother who wants to keep her crown. Narissa casts a spell and exiles Giselle to New York City. And as we all know, NYC is no fairy tale.
Personality… sweet, naïve, and romantic. Giselle takes care of her friends, loves flowy dresses, and sings her emotions. Unfortunately, Giselle’s trusting nature and fondness for tiny critters doesn’t translate so well in New York, where the people are cynical and the animals are pests. Nevertheless, Giselle is determined to dance, sing, and flounce her way back to Edward.
Get to Know her in...

The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid—even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home—she has to wonder whether a storybook view of romance survive in the real world.

It isn’t easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true. When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises. The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past—and hers?
