### Miss Muffet: Once Upon A Time...

Penelope Muffet, daughter of Dr. Muffet, was engaged to marry Michael Web, one of her father's esteemed colleagues who had a practice on the European mainland in Toscane. Penelope undertook the long ride by boat by herself, uncertain of her future.

When she arrived in the foreign land, Penny did not know what to think. The landscape was beautiful, the food was delicious and her betrothed was not as hideous as she feared possible. Through most of the lengthy courtship, Penny remained unconvinced she would go through with the wedding. Her fiance was a doctor whose skills were in constant demand in their coastal community — giving him little time to get to know her .

Instead of spending time with one another, Michael simply tried to buy Penny's love by supplying her with expensive gifts, as well paying for a staff to attend to her every need and make sure she experienced all there was to love about Toscane. But Miss Muffet was not the type of girl the doctor had expected. Instead of all the fanciful feasts and endless recreational pursuits, the young bride-to-be preferred finding a nice soft patch of grass in some shade to sit down and eat her curds and whey.

It took Michael some time to realize this. When he did and made an effort to connect with Penny, often sitting beside her in the shade and asking her for a taste of her favorite snack, the two found that, despite their differences in age and education, that they had much in common. As the day of their wedding approached, the two were madly in love.

And then war broke out. The crown called upon all able bodied men to enlist to fight against the Sheeda. Believing this would be a mere border skirmish, Michael valued his duty too much to abandon his country.

Weeks later, Penny heard the news this was just a border skirmish and the Sheeda had been pushed back. She was relieved and picked out a grassy mound on a hill overlooking the road into town. She sat there for hours everyday, awaiting the return of her beloved Michael. She kept waiting until one rider came to town bearing the news that Michael's clinic was set upon when the frontlines broke just before the army was able to rally and rout the Sheeda back. In the short conflict, Michael was captured by the Sheeda and taken alive.

Penny could not believe what she had heard. If Michael were killed that was one thing, but the horrors she had heard of those taken alive by the Sheeda was too unbearable for her. Though she had no idea what she was to do, Miss Muffet mounted her husband's horse and rode north.

Enlisting in the Little Resistance, Penny did what little she could do. She nursed the wounded, fed the weak, cleaned the camp, and cooked the meals — all so she could be closer to Michael, wherever he was.

When the Sheeda broke the Resistance, Penny would be wounded when a Sheeda commander's blade took off half of her left leg. But then, the strangest thing happened - another Sheeda shoved his spear through the back of the commander's head.

Penny didn't have time to process this as she blacked out from blood loss shortly after this... and when she awoke later, her life would never be quite the same ever again. **[see 'The Tale of Little Miss Muffet']**

### Supplemental Reports

* (*Submitted by Herald*) If there is anything that is a more powerful counter to vorpal magic than "True Love" it is Unyielding Love. Penny's love for Michael allowed him to resist the Bleed's corruption from reaching his soul, even across the vast space of them being in different realities at the time. Many Fables seek to find a way to weaponize Penny's love to stave off the Sheeda for good.
* (*Submitted by Herald*) **Little Miss Muffet:** After the ambush, Miss Muffet awoke to the surprise she was still alive. It was a new day and she was sitting in the shade of a tree on a soft mound of grass. There was a bowl of curds and whey sat beside. She would have thought she were dreaming if her leg were not still missing. But as she began to eat the curds and whey, a Sheeda came out of nowhere, having just washed up and sat down beside her, asking her for a bite. Penny screamed and tried to run away — only to remember her missing leg. The Sheeda quickly set upon her. She tried to fend him off, but when he grabbed her and called her name, Penny heard a familiar voice. Opening her eyes and looking into his, she realized that Sheeda was her Michael. The two quickly planned an escape to Earth, but found escaping Europa as a wounded young woman and a reformed Sheeda to be very difficult. Still, love conquers all, and the two found their way to Fabletown where the two opened a neighborhood market and were finally married.
