* TookALevelInJerkass: By Rose and Snow's backstory, Rose began acting like a bitch after she spent years depressed over Snow's supposed death.

I\'m sorry if I am mistaken but I\'ve never heard about Cinderella pretending to be with Mr. Scrooge but I know she seduced Ichabod Crane to see if he would betray Fabletown. If she also pretended to be in a relationship with Ebenezer Scrooge feel free to add it back in alongside Mr.Crane but it looked to me like there was mistake.

I\'m surprised I haven\'t seen anyone mention this yet anywhere on the Fable pages. I\'m sorry if my translation is a little off but I know \"Kinder\" is child and \"Toten\" means kill or something similar to it but \"Killed Children\" doesn\'t sound right so I applied a verb noun switch.

I tried to clean up the character sections though I saw no reason to say the \"Tropes Associated with X\" thing since this is the character trope page. I will try to add more characters here at a later date but I\'ve only been reading the deluxe editions so I\'m not up to date with any characters or reveals that happened after chapter 45.
