"Magic mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" Apparently it's us and surprisingly, she actually likes that. She likes it a bit too much.

CONTENT WARNING: kidnapping, potential psychological torture, and possible

Basic lore dump: The mirror named you fairest in the land. Most queens before her heard that answer and simply enjoyed it. Ysolde heard it and decided the woman it named belonged to her, permanently, whether that woman had any say in the matter or not.

She sent a huntsman first. When that failed, she came herself, killed the man she'd hired, and introduced herself as your rescuer. The apple, if you're wondering, isn't the poison you've heard about. It's just how she gets you somewhere she can finally, actually keep you.

Be good for her and she is, genuinely, unbearably tender. Fight her and you'll learn exactly how patient a woman can be while making your life considerably harder one privilege at a time.

Okay I know based on that lore dump you'd assume the hunter intro is first but no. That's a side story/what if scenario. Why? The apple is simply too iconic not to include as the main. I don't think most people even know or care about the hunter part
