 FROM THE DESK OF
^ HEADMASTER GRIMM 4-
Dear students,

I am pleased to see that so many of you have

registered for Ever After High*s prestigious
Hero Training class. Your parents and I are
delighted that you re embracing your destinies
as future storybook heroes. This class is an
important step in that honorable direction.

In this beginner course, you will focus on

horsemanship, athletic prowess,
and the knightly
arts. You have the privilege of being taught by
Professor Knight himself, a decorated and
award-winning expert on the subject.

On another note, as you may have heard, one of

your classmates at Ever After High has launched
a petition to bring to light the unfair
treatment of beasts. You may notice flyers all
over the school and videos on the Mirrornet.
The Board of Storytellers and I will take this
petition under serious consideration. While
trying to maintain a strong sense of tradition,
we recognize that times do change.

In the meantime, do not let this matter distract

you from the task at hand— >to become the best,
brightest, and bravest heroes of your
generation.

Dear parents,

Your noble offspring cannot learn

heroic skills if they are always
trapped in a classroom. They must
Yeuture forth to breathe fresh air, to

trample the earth, to ride into the

wind. And, ultimately, to face the
unknown.

Of course, we will do our best to

ensure their safety, but as you know,
heroic behavior comes with risk. That
is why we ask you to fl.ll out the
following form.

- . — ■=- - -

I give permission for

. (offspring’s name)
to follow Professor Knight wherever he
should lead. (Please note that anyone
with a fear of heights, dark places, or
storms of epic proportions must provide
a note from the school physician in
order to be excused.)

I also give permission for

. (offspring’s name)
to wield an ax, a sword, a lance, and
any other piece of equipment that
Professor Knight requires.

If injury should occur during Hero

Training, I give permission for the

school’s irchrmary to stitch, cauterize,

and bandage any wounds and to set any
broken bones. Treatment will also be
given for burns, bruises, and blisters.
(Please note that search parties will
be arranged for the recovery of missing
limbs. )

I certify that my offspring is not

allergic to dragons.

DAMSELS IN DISTRESS QUIZ

a

a rope
r
made from her braided hair. You should.

a. tell her you’ll hext her the name of a barb

ershop
because, seriously, that hair is way too
long.
b. climb up and rescue her.

2. A fellow student has to write a pape

Environmental Magic class but hates
? research. You should...
doing

a. write the paper for her.

paper stuck to her shoe. You should. . .

from embarrassment.

4. A runner on the Track and Shield team has tripped

and fallen. You reach to help her to her feet, but she

insists that she’s perfectly capable of getting up on

her own. You should...

a. grab her arm and pull her to her feet anyway

because, let’s face it, you’re the hero.

b. step back and respect her wishes.

ST. A princess is trapped in a dragon’s den and is crying

Now that you’ve decided what kind of

your crown? Maybe it’s a traditional
crown with gemstones, or one with

ornate patterns carved into it. Or

maybe it’s something more modern,

with a headset so you can listen to

 Each character in Ever After High is part of a

fairytale legacy, with a destiny that has been

recorded in the Storybook of Legends.

Darling has been raised to believe that she

. must wait for her prince to arrive and rescue

her, but she doesn’t want to do that. She’s

trained herself to be an athlete, and she’s

ready for whatever adventure comes her way.

So while she’s not an official Rebel,

she’s certainly a secret rebel.
