Horny Vikings: Thor, who helps Rose travel North.Half Truth: Rose was indeed buried in snow and ice, but the white bear was there to dig her out.Curse: Charles was forced to spend 150 years as the white bear, and unless he could meet the requirements to break the curse, he would belong to the Troll Queen.Chekov'sGun: The shirt that Rose makes for Charles from bear fur.?.All Trolls Are Different: Trolls in this novel are beautiful humanoids with rough skin, equally gruff voices, and the ability to use magic.Determined to set things right, she sets off for the land 'east of the sun and west of the moon' to rescue her white bear once and for all. She agrees, traveling with him to a castle hidden in the mountains, and for a while everything goes all right, until Rose's curiousity turns out to be her undoing. One stormy night, a white bear comes to their house, promising to somehow fix things if they will let him have Rose. Many years later, one of her older sisters gets sick, the first in a series of unfortunate events that leave the family worried about their future. However, nature wins out over nurture time and again, and Rose proves to be very much not like Elise. Her mother is upset, due to her family's beliefs about north-born people being wild and generally ill-behaved, not to mention the prophecy about any north-born child she has dying buried in snow and ice, and so decides to pretend that Rose was a east-born child in the hopes of averting it. Ebba (actually Nyamh) Rose, was first conceived as a replacement due to her deceased east-born older sister, Elise, but a twist? of fate ends with her being a north-born child. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Įast by Edith Pattou is a retelling of ' East of the Sun and West of the Moon'.

DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE.

THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.

All new trope pages will be made with the 'Trope Workshop' found on the 'Troper Tools' menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.

All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the 'fair use' licensing to an image may have it deleted.

Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.

Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
