User blog:Suzanne Beryl/Sleeping Beauty Character List

Most members of the cast are getting involved in some way in the Sleeping Beauty storyline, playing a double role. Sometimes they are their modern selves, others they are characters in the Sleeping Beauty script and therefore seem to act out of character to their real personas. When Nick asks like an idiot I ask myself is he being Nick, the modern Portland Detective or is he playing his role as the King in Sleeping Beauty. If he's actions don't make sense he's playing the King role.

Sleeping Beauty = Juliette

King, Beauty's father = Nick

Prince = Renard

Bad Fairy = Adelind Schade

Good Fairy = Rosalee Calvert

Another Fairy who alters curse = Catherine Schade

King's Retinue = Monroe

Anti Sleeping Beauty = Hank

Prince's ogre mother = yet to be cast

Hank is the anti sleeping beauty because he gives Nick the chance to face the same problems as he does with Juliette but this time come up with better solutions.

1. a. When Hank is unnerved at seeing wesen Nick, acting like the modern cop tells him calmly the truth and thereby empowers Hank. Good decision.

1. b. Juliette asks what Nick is keeping from her and he becomes the King in Sleeping Beauty who keeps Beauty from knowing about the curse, spinning wheels and bad fairies. Thereby making Juliette/Beauty vulnerable to the bad fairy. Bad decision.

2. a Hank falls under Adelind's obsession spell and modern Nick recognizes it and gets Rosalee to break the spell. Good decision.

2. b. Juliette tells Nick she's can't stop thinking about another man and it's driving her a little crazy. He doesn't connect the dots although he knows she's still suffering effects from Adelind's coma spell. Instead he says I don't want to know and leaves her. Just as in Sleeping Beauty the King doesn't know who this prince is going to be but after Beauty falls into a trance he lays her out on her bed to wait for the prince and leaves the castle. Leaving Beauty vulnerable to the prince who later rapes her. Bad decision.

When he's Nick he makes good decision. When he's the sleeping beauty King he makes bad ones.
