Dovetail Family

Daisy Dovetail, a known member.

The Dovetail Family was the family of Daisy Dovetail and now, Bert Beamish. Dovetail is the surname of Daisy Dovetail, Dora Dovetail, and Daniel Dovetail.

"*Two other people got married, as well. I'm delighted to tell you that on leaving the dungeon, and though no longer forced to live next to each other, those old friends Mrs. Beamish and Mr. Dovetail found that they couldn't do without each other. So with Bert as best man, and Daisy as chief bridesmaid, the carpenter and the pastry chef were married, and Bert and Daisy, who'd felt like brother and sister for so long, now truly were.*"

-- the marriage of Mr. Dovetail and Mrs. Beamish and the becoming of step-siblings of Bert Beamish and Daisy Dovetail

## History

### Early History

Daniel Dovetail married Dora, whose maiden name is unknown. Together, they had a daughter named Daisy, who was named after Dora's favorite flower. The Dovetail family was friends with the Beamishes, which did not come as a surprise when Daisy and Bert became best friends. However, when Daisy was 7 years old, King Fred wanted a new purple suit made for him, as he was vain and "needed" a new garment every month. Fred had heard that Mrs. Dovetail, the head seamstress, was ill, but he had not paid much attention to it and still made her work on the garment. Mrs. Dovetail worked on it day and night, but as she was about to sew the last button on, she passed away from overwork.

**Bert**: *"He's the best king of Cornucopia we'd ever had!"*

**Daisy**: *"No, he isn't. He's selfish, vain, and cruel!"*

Daisy and her father were melancholy, and it caused Daisy to make some rude, but true remarks about the king, leading to an argument between she and Bert. Daisy also appeared to dress differently, instead of wearing her coveralls, she dressed in dresses that her mother made for her when she was still alive. It seemed that a wall had grown between Bert and Daisy and it was only strengthened when Bert's father was supposedly killed by the Ickabog (in reality he was shot by Lord Spittleworth).

### Spittleworth's rise of power

Spittleworth's reign had made it treason to say that the Ickabog was not real, and that the so-called Nobby Buttons had never existed. However, Daisy and Daniel Dovetail did not believe it at all, and Daniel was soon abducted and sent to a cell in the dungeons.

Meanwhile, Daisy was too abducted and sent to Ma Grunter's orphanage. Spittleworth told Daniel that he could only see his daughter until he finished a making a massive foot. However, he did not keep his word. Daisy remained there and met Martha, who became her only friend in the orphanage. Soon enough, she was reunited with Bert. Bert Beamish and Roderick Roach showed up years after Daisy, and the three of them, including Martha, hatched a plan to escape and prove that the Ickabog was real (despite Martha's complaints that it really was real). However, when they got to the Marshlands, Martha's home, it was different. They were again, abducted, not by Spittleworth's order, but by a genuine Ickabog, who planned to devour them in order for their offspring to survive. Martha, Bert, and Roderick discussed about Spittleworth while Daisy tried to make friends with the Ickabog.

Daisy hatched a plan to bring the Ickabog to Chouxville and oppose Spittleworth. The soldiers in the village reported to Spittleworth that there was a real Ickabog storming through Chouxville. They were about to shoot it when the Ickabog collapsed and out of its belly, Ickaboggles came out. Daisy had tears in her eyes as she watched the Ickabog die.

### Peace to Cornucopia

Cornucopia was then ruled by Minister Goodfellow, who had married Lady Eslanda. King Fred, Spittleworth, Flapoon (Spittleworth's friend), and everyone else who had benefitted from Spittleworth's rule were all sent to prison. Mrs. Beamish and Mr. Dovetail married, and Bert and Daisy became step-siblings. It is presumed that Daisy and Bert attended Martha and Roderick's wedding, but it is not confirmed. Bert joined the Cornucopian Army, and Daisy became an authority for Ickabogs.
