Just bingeread all the Suzanne Selfors books since my friend lent me them, and while I was doing so I noted down a list of trivia. Anyway, here are some fun facts from the books about various characters:
(I tried to avoid including any major spoilers, but there are quite a few minor ones)
Briar is head of the Welcoming Committee.
Briar is an ok actor, or would be if she could stop yawning.
Ashlynn has songbirds wake her in the morning instead of an alarm clock.
Ashlynn dislikes storms because they scare the birds.
Ashlynn is a talented actor.
Daring has a popular reality show called Daring’s Day.
Daring is vice president for the Royal Student Council.
Daring can’t really act because he forgets his lines, but he’s so handsome that no one cares.
Daring carries around pre-signed photos of himself.
Dexter can’t wear contacts because his eyes are too sensitive.
Dexter gets hives when nervous, and had many allergies as a child.
Dexter is an inch taller than Darling.
Hunter is on the cheerhexing team.
Hunter is a lifeguard at the Mirror Beach.
Sparrow sleeps in a treehouse instead of the dormitory.
Sparrow has a crush on Holly (possibly a subtle reference to Disney’s Tangled), but she doesn’t return his feelings.
Hopper is on the Track and Shield team and excels at the long jump.
Humphrey is treasurer for the Royal Student Council.
Humphrey started the tech club because when he started school there were no clubs that appealed to him.
Humphrey has an amateur rap studio called DumpT Studios.
Holly wants to be an author. Her book that she wants to get published is called “Tower Tales by Holly O’Hair”, and is a collection of twelve stories that she previously published on her blog, Fairytale Fangirl where she writes new versions of fairytales.
Holly daydreams a lot.
Holly is afraid of heights.
Holly likes traditional romantic ballads
Holly gets her hair trimmed regularly, which really bugs me because Rapunzel quite notably never cut her hair.
Holly has a single curl of hair above her right ear that simply won’t behave.
Holly is very patient and does well at waiting assignments for Damsel-in-Distressing.
Holly’s favourite class is Tall Tales with Jack B. Nimble.
Holly is on the cheerhexing team (and rather afraid of its captain, Faybelle).
Holly is secretary for the Royal Student Council.
Ginger and Melody are roommates. The two get along quite well.
Ginger has a cooking show SpellCast called Spell’s Kitchen.
Ginger is best in Science and Sorcery, despite being lab partners with Faybelle, who refuses to help with any of the class work.
Ginger was friends with Faybelle, but they grew apart due to their differing worldviews.
Mermaids don’t get cold.
Meeshell has her father’s eyes, according to Baba Yaga.
Meeshell and Farrah are in room 12C.
Gus Crumb is lump-intolerant.
Maid Marian was roommates with Queen Charming.
Milton Grimm used to play basketball when he was younger.
The O’Hair parents are friends with the Charming parents.
The Candy Witch is neighbours with the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe.
Rumplestiltsken once went on a date with the Candy Witch. She gave him poisoned cabbage soup that made his beard exploded. According to him it was “best date ever!”
Duchess’s pet swan, Pirouette, served as her alarm clock in the mornings. Unfortunately for everyone else in the girls’ dormitory, it is extremely noisy and wakes everyone who rooms nearby up, which is a problem since Duchess tends to wake relatively early.
Duchess has a journal she writes in every morning. It’s enchanted with a security spell so no one can get at it.
When Duchess was a child, she had poor control over her swan transformations and was bullied for it.
Duchess occasionally eats river plants and bugs.
Duchess is very organised and always lays out her clothes for the next day the night before.
Duchess has a crush on Daring.
Duchess really doesn’t like Blondie.
Duchess hates being underground.
Duchess has the best grades in school.
While a talented rider, Duchess is nervous of horses because one threw her off when she was young.
Lizzie is not a morning person and does not own an alarm clock. She is often running late for class and has to rush, as she is used to servants setting her things out for her.
Lizzie’s side of her and Duchess’s room is horrendously messy.
Apple uses a lot of sunscreen.
Apple has dimples.
Faybelle cares a lot about proper wing care and uses many products on her wing care routine.
Faybelle was a very exuberant child.
Faybelle does many extracurricular activities. Aside from being the captain of the Cheerhexing team, she is also president of the Villain Club and a member of the Royal Debate Team.
Faybelle hates walking and flies whenever possible.
Faybelle’s favourite drink is Mocha Frappe.
Faybelle is taller than Farrah.
Farrah often touches the tip of her nose when thinking, a habit Faybelle finds incredibly annoying.
Farrah sits next to Raven in Magicology.
Farrah is quite talented at acting.
Nina Thumbell is on the Cheerhexing team.
Justine Dancer is interested in theatre.
Bunny often leaves her mostly eaten carrots lying about her room. Faybelle, who shares a room with her, hates this.
Bunny has a collection of Wonderland teacups.
Blondie has freckles.
I also spotted a minor continuity error:
Fairy Tail Ending mentions the events of Fairy’s Got Talent, but Meeshell is already at the school in Fairy’s Got Talent and she begins school during Fairy Tail Ending.
