Mirror, Mirror | ✓
What if the seven dwarfs never really existed and were just branches of Snow White's personality? Happy for the good days, Grumpy for the bad, Sneezy when under the weather and Bashful around that special someone. What if every time you looked into the mirror you believed you were a different person? Well, that's how it felt to be Holly Mills. Faced with Dissociative Identity Disorder, this Snow White's only problem wasn't running away from evil queens. It wasn't much of a joyride for her best friend Ava or her boyfriend Will, either. Waking up to find out that she didn't even remember them on some days weighed them down in ways they couldn't even begin to describe. On the days when Holly woke up as shy and quiet Elody, sleepy and sarcastic Alora or clumsy and overenthusiastic Daisy, her three distinct alternate personalities, she didn't know who her friends were and couldn't recollect any of her past memories with them. To be friends with her was like being friends with four different people. Ava had already mastered this, but Will still had a lot to catch up on. After all, it wasn't an easy task to date four different girls at the same time. Especially if each one was a complete opposite to the last. Nonetheless, Will wants to be with his girlfriend. All of her. Even if that means recreating his and Holly's love stories with all her split personalities just to try and refresh her memory. Maybe somewhere along the way, she could get better, even. With Ava's help and a long list of ways to charm his girlfriend, can Will make the so-called dwarfs fall in love with Prince Charming just like his Snow White did?Complete
