Why is it that fairytale princesses are so boring? In a lot of fairytales all that ever happens is the heroine (a princess) falls upon a dilemma and the hero (a prince) saves her. Can you say you have read a fairytale with a princess who really does something for herself (because if you have comment below, I'd love to find out about them)? It is such a bad portrayal of the female sex, and perhaps that is one of the reasons for sexism.
This story is about a heroine who does something rather than just sit around waiting for a prince to save her. She is called Rosilda because it traditionally means horse-riding warrior, which is what Rose is.
I will also apologise now for my writing style, (it most certainly could be better!) but I hope I get my idea across to you. The grammar is also, probably, atrocious, but please don't let that put you off.
I really hope you enjoy it, and if you do why not vote on it? Any comments you have I'd love to hear, only please don't comment against the things written above.
One last thing, if you are reading this it means all the world to me, and I can't thank you enough. It's only through people like you that allows me to write till my hearts content.
