Who could be the modern - day characters in a Cinderella story?

One character could be a modern - day Hercules who is a construction worker. His co - workers would be part of the story too. They might not have his superhuman strength but they have their own skills. Then there could be an evil property developer who wants to build cheap and dangerous buildings just to make more money. And Hercules has to use his strength and moral compass to stop him. There could also be a journalist who discovers Hercules' deeds and spreads the word, making him a local hero.

The main character could be a girl named Rapunzel who is a tech - savvy blogger. Her captor could be a jealous rival in the blogging world who locks her away to stop her from getting more followers. There could also be a prince - like figure who is a hacker and tries to rescue her.

Well, Rapunzel could be a young artist. Instead of a witch, there could be a jealous art dealer who keeps her locked away in a high - rise studio so that she can't sell her art independently. And the prince - like character could be a young curator who discovers her work online and becomes determined to find her. He has to battle through the art dealer's security and false contracts to reach her.

A modern - day Cinderella story could be about a young girl who works in a coffee shop. She's constantly overlooked by her boss and colleagues. One day, a famous music producer comes in.

Eventually, through her hard work and charm, she makes a name for herself in the music industry and falls in love with the producer.

It could be an older person who gives her some valuable advice. Maybe a neighbor who has seen how the girl is struggling without a phone and offers her wisdom, like a fairy godmother would offer magic.

A single mother trying to make Christmas special for her kids despite financial difficulties. She could be the main character, showing strength and the true spirit of Christmas in the face of modern - day hardships.

The Sleeping Beauty could be a young artist. Instead of a prince, it could be a gallery owner who discovers her in her 'sleeping' state of creative block.

A modern - day Cinderella story could start with Cinderella as an aspiring artist living in a small apartment.

Her stepmother and stepsisters, who are also artists but jealous of her talent, try to prevent her from going. The prince in this story could be a famous art critic. Cinderella's beauty is not just physical but also the beauty of her art. When she loses her sketchbook (equivalent to the glass slipper) at the exhibition, it becomes the key for the prince to find her and recognize her true worth.

A volunteer at a homeless shelter might be seen as a modern day Jesus. They give up their own time and comfort to provide food, shelter and a listening ear to those who have lost everything.

They are the ones who are making a real difference in the lives of the less fortunate, and their actions can be seen as a modern - day example of the selfless love that Jesus represented.

The main character could be a young Assassin, perhaps a college student who discovers their family's Assassin heritage. They would be the one to take on the challenges of the modern - day syndicate.
