♛ Twist and Turn

In a kingdom far far away, there lived Elizabeth Tudor and Tina Canty, two girls of different lives longing for freedom. At their first meeting the princess, Elizabeth, proposed the idea of switching clothes thinking that it would be the closest she will ever be to normal. With Tina’s approval they switched and were amazed at how much they resembled each other. Elizabeth then noticed a bruise on Tina’s arm that was caused by an aggressive guard of hers. She headed out to scold the guard but instead she was mistaken to be a pauper and mocked by everyone. Inside the palace, Tina was also mistaken to be the princess but she managed to convince Julian, one of the princess’ assistants, of her true identity. With no other option Tina must act as the princess while Elizabeth finds her way home. While doing so, Elizabeth faced many obstacles towards her return like the sinister Preminger, his idiot minions, Nick and Nack, and the wrath of the narcissistic Madam Carp but with the help of Julian and a young fellow named Miles she was able to arrive in time for her coronation. As queen, she punishes all the evil she has encountered in her kingdom and rewards all the good in it. In the end, Tina and Elizabeth marry and they lived happily ever after.

                She is the beloved Princess of Wales, and the only daughter of the widowed, Queen Genevieve and the heir to the throne. She longs to be out of the palace gates to explore the land she will soon rule over. 

Princess Elizabeth is kind-hearted and opens up quite easily to the people around her. She is interested in her tutor, Julian. She is betrothed to the King of Spain, King Dominick.

Queen Genevieve Tudor:

                She is the widowed Queen of Wales. She trusts the opinion of her right-hand, Preminger, but she is fully capable of handling the bigger decision on her own. 

She keeps her daughter within the palace because she just doesn’t trust her daughter to the dangers in the kingdom. She is kind-hearted but firm. She gets what she wants but is just a bit too trusting.

King Dominick:

                He is a soft-hearted, romantic, gentlemanly and smart king from Spain. He is betrothed to the Princess of Wales, Princess Elizabeth, but he meets Tina Canty instead. He knows when to trust and when not to.

Julian:

                The tutor is the Princess, and he has hidden his feelings for her for quite some time now. He is willing to do anything for the welfare of the Princess and is also willing to sacrifice a lot more.

 He is faithful to the Kingdom of Wales and its rulers. He is wary of Preminger and he is know how to take precautions.

Preminger:

                He is the right-hand of the Queen but he is a traitor in more ways than one. He is using the royal family to gain money and soon take over the throne. 

He has also been stealing from the kingdom with the help if his little henchmen, Nick and Nack. He wants to be the next king by means of marrying the Princess or the Queen. He is a power-hungry and treacherous man.

Tina Canty:

                The only daughter of the Cantys and her parents have been loaning from Madame Carp to feed their family. Tina is a seamstress in Madame Carp’s Dress Emporium. 

She has been making beautiful dresses for very little in return. Madame Carp’s excuse is that she has to pay for the borrowed money of her parents. She longs to be out and be free from her debt but she doesn’t want to abandon something she is responsible for.

Madame Carp:

                Madame Carp owns a large Dress Emporium where she uses the ladies who have debts to her as seamstresses, one of them would be Tina Canty. She keeps them in a prison-like place and makes them work long hours for their debts and additional ‘interest’.

 She is an unforgiving and mean lady. She lies to impress, maybe a little more than what is good for her. She’s dishonest and she just doesn’t show mercy. She sucks up to people with power for she wants recognition and connections.

Nick and Nack:

                Nick and Nack are the henchmen of Preminger. They do all of his biddings without thinking of what is in it for them. They are uneducated and they don’t even know what they’re doing most of the time. They just follow their Boss and do everything to please him.

Miled Henderson:

                He is the disowned son of the Henderson family. He is a kind and warm-hearted gentleman. He is willing to help everyone who needs it and wants nothing in return.

 He is bright and cheerful but doubtful. He will come across the Princess but he won’t believe anything she says, but he helps her none-the-less.
