During this, Penelope came through the painting to convince Rapunzel to return or Gothel would hurt her father, Hugo (which she did, whilst also telling Stefan that she'd see him that evening).Īfter Gothel still failed to get Rapunzel to tell her Stefan's name, Rapunzel told Penelope she and Hugo needed to escape Gothel.

Following this, Stefan (the prince) gave her an invite for a masquerade ball that was being held for his eighteenth birthday. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to find out much. Showing him the paintbrush, Rapunzel asked for his help in finding whoever made it so as to find out about her parents. When she arrived, she met the prince again and revealed her identity to him, though told him to not give her his for his safety. Using her imagination, Rapunzel ended up painting the village and got transported there through the painting. Rapunzel soon received some paint from Penelope and Hobie trying to help her, which she used alongside her hairbrush which had been turned into a paintbrush by a shooting star. When Gothel questioned Rapunzel about the man she met, Gothel called her a liar for not telling her the man's name (despite Rapunzel telling her that she didn't know it) and extended the height of Rapunzel's tower, trapping her (with the intent on punishing her for "lying"). Unknown to her, Gothel's ferret Otto had seen her and told Gothel about what Rapunzel had done. When she returned, she told Penelope and Hobie about the village and the man. Rapunzel realized the time and left before introducing herself to the handsome man (whom she didn't know was actually the prince). As Rapunzel strolled through the valley, she came across three young girls and helped save one of them, with the assistance of the girls' older brother. She bravely followed it and discovered a small village. Love, Mother and Father." The message made no sense, because Gothel had said to her that she was abandoned days after her birth.Īfter giving Gothel her tea and leaving her, Rapunzel found beneath the floorboards of the secret chamber a dark and narrow passage. On the brush, it was written, "To Rapunzel on her first birthday.

Among other things, Rapunzel found a box with a silver brush in it. She finds many ball invitations as well as a picture with a face cut off. One day, when Rapunzel was doing Gothel's tea, she discovered a secret room where Gothel kept everything that reminded her of her past. In between doing all the jobs around the manor Gothel had her do, Rapunzel spent her free time painting. With her, in the castle were two animals: a dragon named Penelope, and a rabbit named Hobie. She spent seventeen years in captivity, as a servant thinking Gothel had saved her as a baby when she was young. When Rapunzel was a baby, she was kidnapped from her parents by the evil witch Gothel and placed in a manor, hidden in the deep forest behind the enchanted wall.
