Captain Hook/Synopsis

## Before Forever After

Captain Hook was originally the arch enemy of Peter Pan, but became bored with fighting a child. She fought many Prince Charmings and presumably killed a lot of them, though she claims that not everyone she defeated died.

At one point, she encountered Tank during his time as a Prince Charming, and scared him away from her story. She later encountered and soundly defeated Lea, another Prince Charming, and became fascinated by the young woman's brutality and willingness to kill.

She was eventually recruited by the Wicked Witch to separate Lea and Robin, a task she accepted with pleasure.

## Forever After

### Reunion in *Aladdin*

Hook caught up to Lea while Lea was still struggling to find the princess in *Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp*. The two clashed again with Hook complimenting Lea on her brutal killing of the forty thieves in *Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves*, claiming she'd waited a long time for a Prince like Lea and dismissing her own protagonist Peter Pan as not worth her time when Lea asked about them. She mocks Lea's fruitless attempts to solve the current story and her lack of knowledge of Forever After's rules and indirectly puts her on the right path by revealing that Lea is not the story's prince and that she should find Aladdin. Hook correctly deduced that Lea was one of the Prince Charmings that had never read the stories she was sent to solve, embarrassing Lea who retorted that she was only in Forever After to break things. Hook responded that it was quite the opposite and that the Fates only chose people to be Prince Charmings who were broken themselves. She then soundly defeated Lea, but didn't kill her claiming that if she killed Lea now, the young Prince Charming would never improve into a worthy rival and left the puzzled and humiliated Lea behind.

Hook appeared again close to the end of the story, deliberately luring Lea away from Aladdin and Badroulbadour and engaging her in another fight (that Hook won easily once again) so the sorceress could steal the lamp. She complimented Lea on her ruthlessness in attacking from behind and remarked that they would "make a pirate out of [her] yet." Lea demanded to know why Hook wouldn't kill her no matter how many times she won their fights and Hook revealed to her that a villain could only kill Prince Charmings in their own stories. She then bid Lea goodbye, as she'd fulfilled her goal of distracting her from the story and Lea hurried off to salvage it.

Hook watched, amused, as Lea read the story's Happily Ever After and remarked that he would not be happy about it.

### Regrouping with the Wicked Witch

After she'd chased Lea though yet another fairy tale, Hook returned to the Wicked Witch's castle to report to him. The Witch complained about her continued toying with Lea, as the rapid progress of the Prince Charmings concerned him. Hook admitted that she herself had not expected fairy tales like *The Little Sea Maid* and *Momotaro* to be closed and was surprised by the Prince Charmings' versatility. She then asked the Wicked Witch if they should simply kill the Prince Charmings which he declined, stating that there had to be a better role for them and that they just had to find it.

### Interfering in *The Flower Queen's Daughter*

Hook once again found Lea while the latter was observing the protagonist Summer dancing with the Flower Princess in *The Flower Queen's Daughter*. She startled Lea by suddenly appearing behind her and joking that the also present Dragon Prince did not look happy about the current situation. Hook attempted to make small talk, teasing Lea about taking part in a romantic story despite her rough exterior suggesting she would be averse to romance, then warned her that rather than the prince, Lea should keep an eye on the Dragon Prince's mother. Lea remained abrasive and suspicious of Hook, accusing the pirate captain of trying to distract her like she'd done in *Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp*. Hook denied this and claimed she was merely there to enjoy the party, then told Lea that she was not her enemy, which Lea doubted. Hook taunted Lea for being alone and asked her what she was even fighting for. When Lea responded that she didn't care about being alone and didn't need a reason to fight, Hook told her they were very much alike and offered Lea to join her and the Wicked Witch, but Lea refused. Their conversation was interrupted by the Dragon Prince finally reaching his breaking point and transforming into a dragon to attack Summer and the Flower Princess. Lea prepared to jump in, but Hook swiftly disarmed her, claiming this fight for herself.

Hook engaged in battle with the transformed Dragon Prince, all the while flirting with and at one point protecting Lea from his attacks. When Lea ended up hurt by the dragon's flames, Hook mocked her and told her not to let him catch her unawares again. Hook then easily defeated the Dragon Prince by shattering the magic jewel on his chest, which turned him back into a human. Hook exclaimed that she'd had fun, then absconded with the unconscious Dragon Prince, leaving the protesting Lea behind.
