The narrator and main character of the story.  As she reaches the fateful day in which she was cursed to eternal sleep she begins to unravel the mystery of the man behind the curse and his relationship to her mother.  She is never given an actual name in the story but is eventually referred to as the Briar Rose or The Sleeping Beauty by her many princely courtiers.

An alternate retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale.  The story begins in the same way as the original story but our young heroine instead of falling under the mystical spell begins to uncover the mystery of the man who cursed her and his relationship with her mother.  It is a realistic reminder that "They lived happily ever after...", may not be as happy as we once envisioned.
