Born from love, stolen at infancy, and locked away in a tower raised to fear the world this was Marinette's life. Fate decided at birth, spent his entire childhood studying to be a proper prince, and must marry a true princess even if he does not lo...
From that moment on Marinette never left the tower. Try as she might she could find no way out. Will there was one way, there was hole cracked in the floor that led to the stairway this tower had unfortunately the hole was too small for Marinette to fit through. Using her magic, Anansi made Marinette's hair grow so long that it could be used as a rope to climb. So every morning Anansi would go to the tower and call "Marinette let down your hair."
Then Marinette would throw down her tresses and Anansi would climb up. She brought Marinette food, water, clothes, and a few occasional books. Marinette was very unhappy in the tower, it was so dark and lonely there. Sometimes at night it would become unbearably cold making it nearly impossible for her to sleep. But the worst of it were the rats who would come through the hole. They were mean and filthy creatures who would bite her if they got the chance, Marinette wanted to shoo them away but Anansi liked them. She said that rats were very useful.
However it wasn't always bad. The tower had a wonderful view of the forest which was quite lovely and she found ways to occupy herself. She read books, drew pictures, and she taught herself how to sew. Anansi would spin fabric for her and Marinette would use it to see dresses for herself. She had friends to occupy her as well. One of which was a red canary called Tikki. Marinette met her one day after the poor bird crash landed in her tower with a broken wing. She bandaged her wing and nursed her back to health. In exchange for her kindness Tikki decided sing sweet music for her. The other was a black cat called Plagg. She met him on a stromy night after he came in through the hole in the floor seeking shelter from the rain. She let him stay and gave him food, in exchange he chased away all the rats. However she had to keep them a secret because Anansi hated cats and she hated music.
Six years passed, Marinette grew into the most beautiful woman in existence. Not only did she posses surpassing beauty but also a kind heart, a brave spirit, and the voice of an angel. Oh how she loved to sing but Anansi hated any kind of music so she couldn't sing when she was around.
"Oh sing sweet nightingale,
sing sweet nightingale.
High above me.
Oh sing sweet nightingale,
sing sweet." She sang as she sewed a dress.
"Oh sing sweet nightingale
sing sweet.
Oh sing sweet nightingale
Oh sing sweet."
Tikki flew over carrying a pair of shears.
"Thank you Tikki." Marinette said taking them from her canary friend.
"Marinette you have the most beautiful voice in the world." Tikki said.
"Thank you but it's not the most beautiful there are plenty of girls out there who sing wonderfully as well." She snipped a few edges and stitched up a few more. "There this one's finished. I'm going to try it on."
She went behind her curtain and got dressed. She walked out wearing a pink satin dress with with ribbon and lace embroidered on it. Each detail was stitched on to perfection.
