She's a princess from the kingdom, Corona as well as a resident of the realm, Dreamcoast. She ruled Corona with her husband, Flynn Rider. When Dreamcoast was threatened by the evil dragon, Tank, Rapunzel joined the Dream spirit, Mark on his mission to restore the kingdom. Once the adventure was over, Rapunzel moved into the palace to help Mark rule the kingdom.

## Background

Shortly after the production of Disney's 2010, *Tangled,* Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Maximus and the other characters from the film. Characters from *Tangled* arrived in the coast months after Tank's death at the hands of King Davis. With Tank supposedly gone, the kingdom decided to have Rapunzel and Eugene married and appointed members of Davis' royal council. The wedding was initially going well until a green lightning storm destroyed half of Corona and drained the Coronians of their magic. Despite having to spent their wedding day repairing the destroyed city, Rapunzel and Eugene married.

While Rapunzel remembers her wedding day fondly, Eugene resents Tank for ruining his wedding day which he had hoped of being a beautiful service. As a member of the royal council, Rapunzel worked alongside with Davis and his wife, Sammie, keeping the kingdom safe from Tank's sickly green magic.

### Development

Rapunzel is one of the Disney characters that Prancer Elkwood wanted to include in his story. Despite Rapunzel being known in the realm of reality for her long blonde hair, the Dreamcoast magic gave brown hair for two reasons. First reason is that Dreamcoastians appear in the realm after the events of their first film, Rapunzel having her hair cut by Eugene in the film had to be consistent with the Dreamcoastian version of Rapunzel. Second reason is that Dreamcoastians are fast-healers and possess eternal youth, thus they stay young forever and never die of old age which is why there's no need for characters coming to Rapunzel whenever they're injured or ill.

### Personality

She acted as a guide to the Jones brothers when they entered the kingdom, notably Mark. Rapunzel showed her other side of her kindness. She displayed sympathy and confidence for Mark when she learned that he was an orphan and was anxious about defeating Tank and restoring order back to the kingdom. Along with her husband, she encouraged Mark to follow his dream of finding true love.

Usually before a party or special occasion, Rapunzel would create make a dress of her own while her friends choose to buy one or wear the same one. She's always willing to lend a hand when her friends are in need of a new dress. In fact, she's always willing to lend a hand to any of her friends during the adventures, they go together.

She warmly greets the boys as they're welcomed into the castle with open arms. When sunrise came, Rapunzel returned back to her home in the kingdom. The Jones brothers leave the kingdom with a group of characters to spend some time with them. During their absence, a mysterious lightning storm revives Tank. With his powers regained, he curses the kingdom and plagues it with monsters, making it increasingly dangerous for characters to even walk on the streets as their magic will be too weak to protect them. The Dreamcoastian princes, princesses and fairies were the only ones whose magic is still powerful. Rapunzel and Flynn managed to avoid the monsters and get to safety along with Jasmine, Belle, Aladdin and the Beast.

Three days later, the boys return home to the kingdom, only to discover the kingdom has been cursed. Mark leads the Princesses and Princes inside the castle to find Davis and Sammie, only to learn that Tank has imprisoned them inside an enchanted painting, not before freeing Pascal and the other animals from the closet. The other characters are evacuated to an abandoned village until further notice. Pongo reminds Mark about the Dream cyborgs being present somewhere in the Disney Kingdom. Mark deduces that the Disney cyborgs can help restore order back to Dreamcoast. Rapunzel, along with her friends offers to tag along with Mark on his journey through the kingdom.

As the gang journeys through the kingdom, the gang officially met Tank in city hall and he informed them about an assassin that he sent to kill his niece, Princess Annabelle, so his revenge against the royal family will be complete. Before disappearing into the shadows, Tank gives the heroes, a riddle. The gang members were unsure what the riddle meant until Belle and the Beast managed to solve it on their own. They discovered that Annabelle was inside a secret room under Cinderella's chateau. However, just as the Princesses could be taken back to the village, Tank's evil pet lizard, Scales drops from the ceiling and attacks the gang. During the battle, Mark and Tinker Bell were swallowed by Scales. Inside Scales, they discovered that he was a robot.

Using Tinker Bell's flying dust and Mark's strength, they remove Scales' powercore, which kills him steadily. The Princesses are freed and brought back to the village. Mark discovers a mechanical bomb that was from Tomorrowland, he deduces that the Dream cyborgs may be in the futuristic city. Before boarding a sky tram to the city, Rapunzel and the others stopped by a clothing shop for a wardrobe change. Afterwards, the gang headed over to Tomorrowland. In the city, Mark discovered that the time bomb was from a shop known as the Time Zone, to which Jimmy is part-owner. They enter the shop and Jimmy allows them to go into the basement. In there, Mark learns that the professor Darwin was best friends with Tank until a heated argument ended their friendship, permanently.

Mark deduces that Tank is in Tomorrowland to get revenge on Darwin for ending their friendship. He and the gang plan to leave the shop to save Darwin, only to be confronted by Jimmy's corrupted brother, DJ. He has direct orders to kill Mark and his friends. Before DJ could have the sentence carried out, Blaster and Juarez burst the doors and fight DJ. Tinker Bell's friend, Vidia casts a sleeping spell on DJ. With DJ overpowered, the gang go over to Darwin's observatory to save the professor, only to be confronted by his corrupted assistant, Cujo. Despite being unable to move from the slime trap, he tells the gang how to defeat Cujo.

The gang open Cujo's head, discards the rotten brain and puts the correct one inside his brain. With Cujo restored to his calmer nature, the gang go over to the secret library to get answers on Tank's motives. Mark learns that Tank is planning to destroy the magic crystals (that are inside the bodies of Mickey Mouse and Friends), which will make all of the characters mortal and eventually die. Mickey Mouse and his Friends were the gang's last hope of restoring the kingdom to its true form. Before the gang could depart from the library, Mark falls to his apparent demise when an earthquake is initiates.

Feeling defeated, the gang return to the abandoned village and informs the others about Mark's apparent demise. Willing to help his friends with finding Mark, Lucky activates a security camera that shows Mark making a deal with Tank in his volcanic lair. Mark is transformed into a dragon and battles Tank. Despite a struggle, Mark defeats Tank and lifts the curse. As Mark slowly transforms back into a human, two unidentified animals rescue Mark and bring him back to the abandoned village.

The animals reveal themselves as Mufasa and Hurley. Mark is cheered as the hero of the kingdom and is carried back to the restored castle by Rapunzel and the other characters.
