* American [=McGee=] has hinted on his blog at least twice that Grimm will be "getting his own happy ending" in the first game's GrandFinal}.

Rumpelstiltskin behaves in a similar manner towards the Miller's daughter, taking pity on her and bailing her ass out multiple times, [[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rumpelstiltskin/ even going so far as to alter the original terms of his child snatching deal to give the Miller's Daughter (now a Queen) a (slightly) better chance at success.]] It's been theorized that Rumpelstiltskin wanted to either kill the Queen's child, or make the Queen's child more like him, either or both of which are pretty much Grimm's modus operandi. And, in the original, unbowdlerised orally-told version of the tale, the defeated Rumpelstiltskin ''escapes'' to spread chaos another day, which would certainly qualify as Grimm's "happy ending." Grimm also has a tendency to sing, dance and [[RhymesOnADime rhyme on a dime]] when he is especially happy...
