9	[[caption-width-right:350:The Evil Queen]]
10
11	Raven Queen's parents. The former is presently trapped in a magic mirror for her crimes against the world of Ever After.
12	----
13	* AbusiveParents: The Evil Queen is emotionally neglectful of her daughter, and is frequently described as having traumatizing Raven as a little girl.
14	* AmbiguouslyRelated: In the original fairy tale, the Evil Queen was Snow White's WickedStepmother (and her actual mother in the older variants). It also isn't a stretch to assume the Good King is Snow White's father. The tie-in books do bring this up. The webisodes never really address this either way.
15	* BatmanGambit: The Evil Queen pulls a pretty good one in ‘’Unfairest of Them All’’. [[spoiler: She tells Apple and Raven the ingredients for a spell they must cast to prove Maddie innocent of a crime, but she also tricks them into gathering two extras: [[ItMakesSenseInContext tea made from a will-o’-the-wisp and an egg laid by Baba Yaga’s hut]]. When her mirror was left unattended, the hatchling from the egg would drink the tea and use its dimension travelling properties to set her free. It would have succeeded had the girls not figured it out at the last minute.]]
16	* BigBad: The Evil Queen serves as such in the books, the cartoons and the ''Dragon Games'' mini-series.
17	* TheCorrupter: The Evil Queen manipulates Apple and tries in every way to get Raven to be evil and fulfill her destiny-including disguising herself as a teenager to get closer to Raven.
18	* CrystalPrison: The Queen is trapped in a mirror and can [[MagicMirror communicate through mirrors]] -- or teleport through them, if assisted.
19	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: In the Evil Queen's Mira Shards getup, her fuchsia hair is the only splash of color.
20	* DotingParent: While The Good King is a more straightforward example, the Evil Queen is one in her own evil way. The Secret Diary of Raven Queen reveals that she cursed Raven's childhood nannies if they didn't take good enough care of her.
21	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all the Evil Queen is, she truly loves her daughter, and her greatest desire is for Raven conquering the lands at her side. In ''Dragon Games'', she is visibly hurt every time Raven refuses the idea of following in her footsteps. In the Toys/MonsterHigh crossover book ''The Legend of Shadow High'' the Evil Queen preforms a HeroicSacrifice because it was the only choice she had where her daughter would live.
22	* ForTheEvulz: The Evil Queen goes far beyond what's expected of her as a fairy tale villain; she's not just following a story, she was outright planning to derail it. She really was trying to kill Apple's mother, and ''still is'', even after her story's finished. [[spoiler:It's also implied and later stated that the Queen of Hearts going off the deep end was a cover story, or at least not the whole picture, and the Evil Queen is the one who's really behind what happened in Wonderland.]]
23	* GoodParents: The King. It caused... some marital strife.
24	** [[spoiler:The ending of ''Dragon Games'' and the Frozen special show the Queen trying to be this as she willingly shows up to special events to support her daughter.]]
25	* GreenThumb: During the third quarter of the ''Dragon Games'' Saga, [[spoiler:she encases Ever After High in wild brambles to hold the students and faculty prisoner.]]
26	* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: [[spoiler:Even though her daughter "willingly" joins her after taking over Ever After High, the Evil Queen uses this test on Raven by having her toss the school faculty and Snow White, who were turned into animals, into a dangerous vortex.]]
27	* IronicHell: She's trapped in a mirror dimension where she can see just about anything using the mirrors of the outside world. The only problem is that none of them can reflect her beautiful image.
28	* ItsAllAboutMe: The Evil Queen's life creed is pretty much, "Do whatever the hex I please and never give a crown about anyone or anything else."
29	* KickTheDog: The Queen turned Raven's puppy into a frightening skeletal rat when she was a kid so she wouldn't be tempted to act like a good princess. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain It's what made Raven decide she doesn't want to be the next Evil Queen]].
30	* KnightTemplarParent: The Evil Queen's letter to Raven reveals that the reason why she tried to conquer the Fairy Tale World in the first place is because she can't stand the idea of everyone mistreating her daughter because of her parentage. That being said, her [[ItsAllAboutMe egocentrism]] is still a major factor for her actions.
31	* LadyOfBlackMagic: The Evil Queen. She's a poised and regal EvilSorceress. Raven takes after her in this regard.
32	* LineOfSightName: When she disguises herself as a teenager, the Evil Queen calls herself Mira Shards to reflect her escape from her mirror prison.
33	* LovingAShadow: A Parent-Child example, but one nonetheless; Given the Evil Queen's insistence of Raven's inner villain, it seems that her love for Raven as she truly is and wants to be pales to the Queen's love of the possibility of Raven becoming her spitting image, if not even worse.
34	* ManipulativeBitch: Practically her speciality, as shown by her interactions with Apple, Raven and even Snow White. She's an expert at pinpointing where her victims are most vulnerable and using either their self-doubt (Apple), defiance (Raven) or competitive spirit (Snow) against them. Even Raven, who is aware of her mother's tricks, can't help but fall for it sometimes.
35	--> '''Evil Queen:''' I spy doubt and doubt makes room for the worm to get to the apple.
36	* MayDecemberRomance: Evil Queen is young enough to have a teenage daughter, while the Good King is old enough to have fathered Snow White (who is around Evil Queen's age) and have a daughter and granddaughter who are the same age.
37	* OddFriendship: While their current relationship is unknown, Evil Queen seems to have had one with Red Riding Hood in their schooldays, brought about by them rooming together, Red being a [[NiceGirl sweet woman]] and [[GoodParents good mother]]. Evil Queen is well,[[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the Evil Queen.]]
38	* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Only her family and servants, Cedar's father, Milton Grimm, and Baba Yaga know that the Queen still lives. Everyone else believes she's dead, not imprisoned. As of the second book, [[spoiler:Apple knows this too.]]
39	* SealedEvilInACan: The Evil Queen.
40	* SparedByTheAdaptation: The Evil Queen in the animated series.
41	* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler: Despite being returned to the mirror prison in ''Dragon Games'' by her own daughter, she's impressed with how far she's come in her magic.]]
42	* StatuesqueStunner: The Evil Queen, even in her teenage disguise.
43	* VirtueIsWeakness: The Evil Queen adheres to this like a religion. Her greatest belief is that only people who forsake concepts like compassion and mercy can achieve true power.
44	* WellIntentionedExtremist: She sees herself as one, at least. The Evil Queen claims that all of her attempts to become a multidimensional tyrant is because she wants to give Raven a future where people will not mistreat her for her heritage, but because of her twisted viewpoint, the queen believes this can only happen if people are too ''afraid'' of Raven to be unkind to her.

48	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snow_white___dgp2htd.png]]
49	[[caption-width-right:350:Snow White]]
50
51	Apple White's parents, and current monarchs of their kingdoms.
52	----
53	* AbusiveParents: Let's just say its easy to see why Apple can be so anxious.
54	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original fairytale she was a very kind and innocent person. Here she is more of a narcissistic glory hound who uses peer pressure and intelligence to make Apple pressure Raven into being bad, under the guise of "meaning well". The wiki flat-out states that Snow cares more about her reputation.
55	* HiddenDepths: Snow White's book incarnation. When Apple tells her about how Raven doesn't want to be evil in ''The Unfairest of Them'', she doesn't object to the idea; in fact, she reveals that she regrets not trying to befriend Raven's mother more and stop her from being so evil and she says Raven "was always such a nice girl". She also advises Apple to keep smiling at everyone no matter how bad it gets. Apple thinks her advice is useless at first, but in the end it helps her [[spoiler: to get all the Royals and Rebels working together to clean up the treasure room so they can perform the spell and save Maddie.]]
56	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In the cartoons, Snow White is a StageMom that wants Apple to get her happy ending because of the Snow White reputation and legacy Apple has to maintain. Still, whenever the situation needs it her heart is in the right place, such as willing to forfeit the dragon game because Darling was injured.
57	* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: She and Raven (very likely) share a father [[note]]agnate half-siblings[[/note]], the Good King. Snow is old enough to have a fifteen year old daughter, and Raven is fifteen.
58	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Snow White, as well as all the Snow Whites who came before her; Apple is specifically an exception.
59	* SameCharacterButDifferent: In the books, Snow White is portrayed as a sweet ProperLady who has sympathy for Raven, and is generally unable to help Apple's plight as she has never faced a danger she wasn't destined to overcome. In her cartoon debut in ''Dragon Games'', however, she is arrogant, business-like, cares more about her family's PR than acting philanthropically, and altogether not so different from the Evil Queen.
60	* ShadowArchetype: Snow White's cartoon incarnation embodies what Apple could have become if she neglected getting to know Raven as a person and was never forced to re-evaluate her ideology that a perfect destiny is vital.
61	* TextileWorkIsFeminine: Sewing is one of Snow White's favourite hobbies.
62	* UselessBoyfriend: The King doesn't really do anything and has never actually engaged in combat -- he just poses with a sword all the time because it looks cool.
63	* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Snow White, naturally.

66	[[folder:Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf]]
67	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cerise27s_picnic_panic___badwolf_is_confused.jpg]]

69
70	Cerise Hood's parents. Contrary to the original story, [[spoiler:the Big Bad Wolf was neither killed nor chased away, and changed his mind about what exactly he wanted to do to Red Riding Hood.]]
71	----
72	* AffectionateNickname: In ''Unfairest of Them All'', Red refers to Badwolf as Baddy.
73	* AmbiguousSituation: Red and the Evil Queen were roommates and friends during their school days. [[spoiler: The Evil Queen hid the real Storybook in their room.]] Its not made clear if Red was aware of this or not.
74	* BadLiar: [[spoiler:Badwolf]]. It was the entire start of their relationship. According to ''Cerise's Picnic Panic'', [[spoiler:[[BadBadActing he can't act either]].]]
75	* ClassClown: Badwolf seemed to be this in his youth, according to Class of Classics. [[spoiler: Its implied he was doing at least somewhat to impress Red.]] He's mellowed out with age [[spoiler: but if his interactions with his daughters are any indication, he's still a bit of a goof.]]
76	* CrazyPrepared: Who keeps a smoke bomb in a basket full of treats? Red does.
77	* ForbiddenLove: [[spoiler: Red Riding Hood marrying her Big Bad Wolf is a ''big no no'' in a society that champions destiny to this level. If anyone found out about the marriage, they would, in Cerise's words, flip their crowns.]]
78	* FracturedFairyTale: [[spoiler:Red Riding Hood ''married and had two daughters with'' her Big Bad Wolf.]]
79	* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Their daughters are outright stated to have had a warm and loving childhood in their care and both Ramona and Cerise love them dearly. TruthInTelevision, wolves are known to be some of the best parents in nature.]]
80	* HappilyMarried: They aren't often shown together during the webisodes [[spoiler:likely due to the secret nature of their marriage, but from what is shown (and considering they actively defied their destinies to be together), they have a loving marriage. When telling their story in The Unfairest Of Them All, the notion of the Huntsman killing Badwolf nearly reduces Red to tears.]]
81	* HiddenDepths: Red appears to be your average sweet and kindhearted mother. As mentioned above, she carries a smoke bomb around in her basket just in case. [[spoiler: She also married and had children with a wolfman (with the books making it clear that the wolf form is her husband's natural form)]]
82	* HighSchoolSweethearts: The diary of Mira Shards implies them to be this, with Red being upset when [[spoiler:Badwolf asks Mira to the dance, and Badwolf sneaking off halfway through, all but stated to go be with Red. Around 20 years later, they're still going strong.]]
83	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Badwolf is significantly taller than [[spoiler: his wife.]] Justified, he's a wolfwere and she's a human woman. The height difference is more reasonable when Badwolf is in human form. Even with his [[spoiler: children, he towers over the notably tall Cerise and Ramona]]
84	* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:Red, a human woman, is married to the Big Bad Wolf, a werewolf.]]
85	* MamaBear: Red, with tears in her eyes, firmly stands up against the entirety of Hood Hollow when they intend on banishing Cerise. '''Do not''' attempt to hurt her children in her presence.
86	* MomLooksLikeASister: Red barely looks older than Cerise [[spoiler: or Ramona.]] It's especially obvious in Cerise's Picnic Panic.
87	* OlderThanTheyLook: Red is old enough to have a fifteen year old daughter [[spoiler: and a sixteen year old daughter,]] which puts her in at least her mid 30s. As mentioned above, she doesn't look it.
88	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Badwolf always has superhuman strength and speed, and can growl and howl. [[spoiler:However, unlike the hybrid Cerise,]] he can transform partially or fully into a beast-man, seemingly at will or based on emotions.
89	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler: If Ramona's destiny comes to fruition, they will both outlive her.]]
90	* PapaWolf: A literal example in the case of Badwolf. In Dragon Games, he and [[spoiler: his daughters]] flee from Evil Queen and Badwolf is willing to be captured by her vines to buy [[spoiler: the girls]] time to run.
91	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] In ''The Unfairest of Them All'' its outright said that the Huntsman was supposed to kill the Big Bad Wolf. [[spoiler: Red saved his life by throwing a smoke bomb and crying fire so everyone would run away.]]

93
94	[[folder:The Charming Family (Daring, Dexter, and Darling's)]]
95	Daring and Dexter's parents, grandparents, and extended family. They have a long history of being traditional generic princes and princesses who fill roles in stories that don't have a specific lineage attached to them.
96	----
97	* AlliterativeFamily
98	* TheBeautifulElite: All royalty, all ridiculously attractive.
99	* BlackSheep: Charity is probably even more different from a typical Charming than even Dexter or Darling, with absolutely no interest in being a princess or a hero, and finding mundane informational books more worthy of her time.
100	* BoyfriendBlockingDad: King Charming, along with his sons, chases away any suitors vying for Darling's attention.
101	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Their Grandpa Auspicious actually used to be the hero Siegfried. He ended up marrying a Charming princess, so only one of his sons inherited the story of Siegfried while the rest became Charmings.
102	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Their cousin Charity would rather hide in the dungeon and read normal non-epic SliceOfLife stories than get caught up in her family's dramatics.
103	* TheHighQueen: Their mother, who is very strict towards Darling about proper princess behavior. Grandma Alluring as well.
104	* PrincessClassic: All of the Charming girls are this - at least on the outside. All of them except Darling seem very excited about playing damsels in distress while their male brothers and cousins play the heroes who save them.
105	* OddNameOut: One of their little cousins has the unfortunate name of Good-Enough. Darling suspects that it's because he already had 5 older siblings and they were out of "G" names by the time he came along.
106	* ThePerfectionist: The Charmings have a heritage of perfect heroes and damsels. King Charming almost refused to let Dexter wear glasses when first learning he was near-sighted because he didn't want to acknowledge the idea of his son having a flaw.
107	* StageMom: Queen Charming cares immensely for her family's reputation, so she forces Darling to [[ErmineCapeEffect dress]] and [[ProperLady act]] like a Charming Princess at all times.
108	* ThemeNaming: All siblings have the same letter as the first letter of their first name - Daring, Dexter and Darling all begin with "D", for example. One group of cousin's names all begin with "C", another's begin with "G" and so on. They also all tend to be named after qualities one would want in a traditional prince or princess. Dexter seems an odd aversion but makes sense once you realize it's short for Dexterous.

111	[[folder:The Cheshire Cat]]
112	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b8diobgiaaijoqr.jpg]]
113
114	Kitty's mother, who is still in Wonderland. She appears in ''Spring Unsprung''.
115	----
116	* AdaptationalVillainy: In ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', the Cheshire Cat, despite a sinister appearance and talking in riddles, is quite friendly and offers Alice some travelling advice. Quite different from this unscrupulous character.
117	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Lavender, like her hair.
118	* AnimalEyes: Cat-like, like her daughter.
119	* BigBad: Of ''Spring Unsprung''.
120	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She causes the entire ''Spring Unsprung'' incident for what can basically be summed up as showing off for her daughter.
121	* FemmeFatalons: She has very sharp, grey fingernails.
122	* GenderFlip: Female instead of male as in the original story.
123	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:After her prank nearly destroys Ever After, the Cheshire Cat just tells the Wonderland kids how to undo the curse, then escapes without so much as a proper scolding.]]
124	* ThePrankster: In case you're wondering where Kitty got it from. And the bigger the mischief, the better.
125	* PrettyInMink: Her outfit in ''Spring Unsprung'' is accented by dark blue fur.
126	* TheShadowKnows: Her shadow is in the shape of a cat.
127	* {{Sleepyhead}}: Like Kitty, Momma Cheshire likes to take catnaps.
128	* VillainTeleportation: She can teleport without limits and is the BigBad of ''Spring Unsprung''.
129	* WeWillMeetAgain: "See you on parents day!"
130	* WildCard: Lives to cause chaos and strife, never caring about what's moral or lawful. She encourages her daughter to be the same.
131	* VillainousCheekbones: Maybe not "villainous," but certainly amoral.

134	[[folder:The Queen of Hearts]]
135	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/way_too_wonderland___happiest_queen.jpg]]
136
137	Lizzie Heart's mother and co-ruler[[note]]sole ruler as of now[[/note]] of Wonderland. Due to The Evil Queen it's said she is more crazy than ever before.
138	----
139	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Far better looking than the {{Gonk}} version found in [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Tenniel's original illustrations]].
140	* {{Adipose Re\|x}}gina: The Queen is as large as she is overbearing. It doesn't stop her from being [[BigBeautifulWoman good-looking]] though.
141	* TheCaligula: The Queen is utterly bonkers, even by the standards of Wonderland, where insanity ''is'' sanity. It's partially to do with the poisoning of Wonderland following the Evil Queen's attempt at conquering it.
142	* CompositeCharacter: She has aspects of both the Queen of Hearts and The Red Queen. This is downplayed in the animated series, as there is a Red Queen there.
143	* FieryRedhead: So very, very much.
144	* MoodWhiplash: Regally greets Alistair and Bunny in Riddlish, but when they don't understand, she clarifies by threatening Alistair and Bunny with decapitation if they tried "exploring" again. Then kindly offers them some afternoon tea.
145	* TookALevelInKindness: In "Way Too Wonderland" her behavior is more toned down and shows she truly loves her daughter.
146	* UnusualEyebrows: They're made of little hearts.
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:The Mad Hatter]]
150	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spring_unsprung___next_customer.jpg]]
151
152	Maddie's father and owner of the Wonderland Haberdashery and Tea Shoppe.
153	----
154	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While by no means a bad guy in the original book, he was a rude and tactless {{Jerkass}}. This version of him is very friendly and helpful. Perhaps becoming a father mellowed him out.
155	* BritishTeeth
156	* CloudCuckoolander: Like his daughter.
157	* FormerTeenRebel: Implied given that he was in detention at Wonderland High almost every day he was there as revealed in ''Way too Wonderland''. Fortunately he was also an expert at getting out of detention.
158	* GoodParents: To Maddie, who absolutely adores him and wants to be like him when she grows up despite being on the Rebel side.
159	* PapaWolf: In the books he distracts the dreaded Jabberwocky to protect his daughter.
160	* ParentalSubstitute: Its implied Kitty and Lizzie live with him since Wonderland was cursed. Considering the girls consider Maddie, his daughter, a sister, its likely they consider him this[[note]]Lizzie does have a father mentioned in the books while Kitty has [[DisappearedDad no mentioned father figure]].[[/note]]
161	* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: The books reveal that the Mad Hatter was the one who wed Cerise's parents. Red Riding Hood even tells Cerise that they can trust him.]]
