Ah, Briar's story.  Now is when I get to ask my question, when was it decided that children would follow in the footsteps of their parent's stories?  It could be that it was decided after the main characters in the webisodes met their princess's, since that probably happened around the same time.  And if that is the case, who decided it.  Was it Apple's mother deciding that the Evil Queen was inevitable but she should always end up on the other side of the mirror?  Was it the Grim Headmaster?  And if it was him, how did he convince everyone it was a good idea?  And once again, is this the first generation?I think I forgot to mention this with Raven, but since these are teaser stories, I treat them as such and review them based on the questions they raise for me, and how well they garner interest in the character and overarching story.  Not on their own merit, because as standalone stories, even free, they would be nothing to talk about and insulting.  They are not true stories by themselves.Going on.  Once again I have to ask.  Which story is this?  Is it the Grimm's stories we're going by, not the disneyfied version.  Because... how can I say this without being too... Alright, so in versions even before Grimm, there is a version of this story where the prince has a baby with Sleeping Beauty before she wakes up and it is the baby that sucks the splinter out of her finger and wakes Sleeping Beauty.  Now the reason I bring this up is, is this the reason Briar has the same affliction as her mother?  It is implied she is the oldest, and there are no signs that her brother's share the same curse.  Plus, who would one spell mutate Sleeping Beauty's genes that much?  So I assume that Briar shares her mother's curse because she was grew in her mother while her mother was under the curse.Of course this could never be addressed in a story for children, even tweens.  At least not with the tone they are going for in the story.  So is it something heavily implied, or, as normal, am I reading way too much into it?Overall, good characterization.  Personally I thought Briar started the whole jumping out of windows thing when she got to school, but it was nice here.  And it was also nice to see where all the princes for all the princesses come from.  Though some families have to churn out some superfluous females too right?  I mean, fairy tales that need a generic female is less but they exist.
