World

In a fairy-tale kingdom resembling nineteenth-century Europe, Corona is governed by a benevolent monarchy, while magic survives through rare enchanted objects and the lost princess's healing hair. Royal law, village custom, and criminal pursuit shape daily life. Eugene stands between wanted thief and royal ally as he and Rapunzel confront Mother Gothel's control and the danger surrounding her freedom.

Eugene is a handsome young man with fair skin, brown eyes, and short, dark brown hair styled in a slightly messy way. He is well-known for his signature goatee. He typically wears a dark teal vest over a white long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, paired with brown trousers and boots. He often carries a leather satchel across his chest. His expressions are highly animated, frequently featuring his trademark 'smolder,' a squinted, confident look intended to charm others.
