In some fanfiction, Mother Gothel's character can develop from a purely villainous figure to a more complex one. For example, she might start to show some remorse for her actions towards Rapunzel. In other stories, she could become more desperate as Rapunzel starts to question her authority, leading to a change in her behavior. Sometimes, she may even have a change of heart and try to make amends, although it's often too late.
For Rapunzel, you can focus on her growth from a naive girl in the tower to a more self - aware young woman. Show her exploring the world outside the tower and how she reacts to new things. For example, she might be initially frightened by the hustle and bustle of the town but gradually learns to love it. As for Mother Gothel, you can delve deeper into her backstory. Maybe she had a difficult childhood that led to her obsession with eternal youth. This can help to humanize her a bit, even though she is the villain.
One great fanfiction could be 'A Different Tower'. In this story, it explores what would have happened if Mother Gothel had a moment of real motherly love towards Rapunzel. It shows a different side of their relationship, where Gothel struggles with her possessiveness and Rapunzel tries to understand her captor. Another is 'Rapunzel's Escape Redefined'. This one focuses on Rapunzel's escape from the tower in a more elaborate way, with Gothel having some internal conflicts during the process. There's also 'The Unseen Bond' which delves into the psychological connection between them that was never fully explored in the original story.
For Rapunzel, she could be developed by showing her growing awareness of the world outside the tower and her own self - worth. In the context of the lemon fanfiction, this might mean that she becomes more assertive and less naïve. For example, when dealing with Gothel, she starts to question her more boldly. As for Gothel, her character could be developed by exploring her backstory. Maybe she had a difficult past that led her to be so possessive. The lemon aspect could add a layer of complexity to their relationship, like making their interactions more intense and full of unspoken emotions.
At first, Rapunzel is a timid and obedient character. She believes everything Mother Gothel tells her. However, when she steps out of the tower, she is exposed to new experiences. For example, she meets new people in the town and has to deal with the danger of the Stabbington brothers. These experiences make her braver. She also starts to question the things she has been told all her life. Her relationship with Flynn further helps her development as she learns about love and friendship, which ultimately transforms her into a more confident and self - reliant person.
Another plot could be a 'what if' scenario where Mother Gothel had a change of heart. Perhaps after years of having Rapunzel around, she starts to develop real maternal feelings. She could then struggle with her desire for eternal youth and her new - found love for Rapunzel. This would put her in a difficult position of having to choose between her own self - interest and Rapunzel's well - being.
Adult fiction might explore the relationship between Gothel and Rapunzel in a more nuanced way. Gothel's possessiveness over Rapunzel could be seen as a form of extreme love gone wrong. Rapunzel, as an adult, may struggle with the after - effects of her long - term captivity. She could be trying to build relationships, find love, and make a place for herself in the world while still haunted by her experiences with Gothel.
Naruto may become more reserved. The abandonment by his mother could make him less likely to open up to others easily. He might be more cautious in forming relationships.
One possible plot could be Gothel's internal struggle with her possessiveness of Rapunzel. In the fanfiction, Gothel might start to realize that her extreme control over Rapunzel is not only harming Rapunzel but also herself. For example, she could have moments of self - reflection when she sees Rapunzel longing for freedom. This could lead to a change in their relationship, perhaps with Gothel trying to find a way to let Rapunzel go while still maintaining a connection. Another aspect could be Rapunzel's discovery of her own power and using it to break free from Gothel's hold in a more psychological way rather than just physically escaping the tower.
The theme of motherhood, albeit a twisted one in her case, is often explored. Fanfictions may look at why she pretended to be Rapunzel's mother and what that false relationship meant to her. Isolation is another theme, as she kept Rapunzel isolated in the tower. Some fanfictions play with the idea of what would happen if she was isolated in a different way or if she had to face the consequences of isolating Rapunzel.
Rapunzel's character development in such fanfiction can be quite multi - faceted. Firstly, physically, she has to adjust to the changes in her body, which might make her more in tune with her physical self. Emotionally, she could become more empathetic towards other mothers in the kingdom. She may also become more assertive in ensuring the safety and well - being of her unborn child. For instance, she could start taking a more active role in castle security matters related to the baby. Additionally, her relationship with Eugene will likely deepen as they face this new chapter together, and this could also shape her character further.
