[WP] You are a princess whose father has just remarried. You’re ecstatic— a wicked stepmother means the start of your own fairy tale, and a guaranteed happy ending. Problem is, your stepmother is… nice. And it seems to be genuine.

[WP] You are a small god, with very little power or influence. But you are happy, and take care of your few worshippers as much as you are able. An extraordinarily powerful being stumbles bloodied into your sacred place, and cries “Sanctuary.”

[WP] You’re a wannabe stage magician, and you’re starting to get discouraged. All these years of practice, and you’ve only learned one basic beginner’s trick. But you don’t realize that other magicians use mirrors and sleight of hand, while you’ve somehow taught yourself actual magic.

[WP] Each flower blooming in the enchanted garden carries a tiny fairy at its heart. Supposedly, decorative flowers make delicate and beautiful fairies, herbs quiet and industrious ones, and weeds belligerent and brutal ones. Whoever created these stereotypes was not a very good gardener.

[WP] Your wife swears she’s heard chanting from your crawl space. She’s seen too many horror movies, and thinks someone’s performing Satanic rites. You’re pretty sure it’s just raccoons. Both of you are right.

[WP] You are a gorgon, who finally found a way to break your curse and bring your victims back to life. Unfortunately, many of your former friends and enemies have ended up in museums and private collections. It’s time to plan a heist.

[WP] You thought you found the perfect gift for the office Secret Santa… until you got to work. The receptionist is cooing over a dragon’s egg, the accountants are comparing flying carpets, and Excalibur gleams on your desk. These fancy coffee beans are not going to make the cut.
