When Rapunzel was an infant, she was surely kidnapped by an evil witch named Gothel and placed in a castle, hidden in the deep forest behind the enchanted wall.

With her, in the castle were two animals, a kind dragon named Penelope, and rabbit named Hobbie. One day, when Rapunzel cleaned one of the halls of the castle, she discovered a secret room, in which Gothel kept everything that reminded her of her past.

Among other things, Rapunzel has found a box inside a silver brush was placed. On the brush was written "To our daughter, Rapunzel on her first birthday with Love forever, Mother and Father." The message made no sense, for Gothel had told her that she was abandoned days after her birth. Beneath the floor boards of the secret chamber was a dark and narrow passage. Rapunzel bravely followed it and discovered a small village. As Rapunzel strolled through the valley, she saved the life of a young Princess, with the assistance of Prince Stefan.
