Sugar
Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese), Rebecca Forstadt (English)
Age: about 9
She is a female snow fairy apprentice working to learn how to be a full fledged fairy. She comes to the human world for the final part of her training which requires her to find a so called "Twinkle". Sugar acts much like a toddler with a clumsy nature who often tries her best at things but messes up because she doesn't always think things through. She loves to kiss anyone she is fond of when happy. After Saga first feeds her a waffle, she comes to love treats, though she mispronounces their name as "waffo". In the manga adaptation, she was familiar with the word before eating one.

Though extremely wise, he often appears foolish, particularly in his dedicated pursuit of Ginger.

The story is based around 11-year-old Saga Bergman, a young girl in a small German town called Muhlenberg (based on real town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber). Saga lives with her grandmother Regina and works in a coffee shop when not in school. Saga is extremely structured and plans her life down to the minute. One day, she notices a tiny creature in a fluffy outfit that appears to be starving. She offers it a waffle, which helps revive the tiny creature. Saga learns that this tiny creature is Sugar, an apprentice season fairy. Sugar explains that season fairies alter the weather by playing a magical musical instrument, and her specialty is snow, which she creates by playing the piccolo. Sugar is joined by two more apprentice season fairies, Salt, an outgoing male fairy who plays the trumpet to make the sun shine more brightly, and Pepper, a quiet and caring female fairy who plays the harp to make the wind

    In complete contrast with its title, Angelin Preljocaj’s version of Blanche Neige is intended to be not so “whitely” pure (Wheeler 2012). Taking a leaf out of the Brothers Grimm original tale, in conjunction with Preljocaj’s influential background as mentioned earlier, Preljocaj attempts to twist this usually happy, Disney fairytale into a romantically dark thriller filled with serious societal undertones (Kourlas 2014). Snow White is no longer innocent, rather she is a sensually provocative adolescent portrayed with adult explicitness and garnished in what can only be deemed a “uni-diaper.” Embellishing his choreography with a mixture of electronic techno music by DJ Laurent Garnier and Gustav Mahler’s symphonies, Preljocaj’s customary…

    Ronald Takaki uses the narrative of the “Giddy Multitude” to demonstrate how the colonial elite used race and the idea of blackness to develop a social system of classification. White identity formation was made possible for white elite through certain types of work and the ability to accumulate assets. Social status also contributed to the economic context of competition over land. The law in Virginia was a legal factor that also contributed to the making of whiteness because it allowed poor whites to have privileges. Along with those privileges the idea of citizenship was created and defined in terms of who would benefit from this nation. In order for someone to be a citizen that person had to be a wealthy white male. Power and white identity was a way in which citizenship was linked to notions of whiteness, class, and gender.…

    Being so young and blinded by her beautiful looks, she had the bluest eyes you had ever seen. Unending seas of gunmetal blue in fact. The most board straight, chestnut hair, cascading down her back like Rapunzel. Of course you can not forget about the bloodless, pale face with the cutest rosiest cheeks as if a little fairy had charmed the apples of them. Or even the strawberry, but voluminous young lips. Never will I not remember the dark green script that read…

    The moment he felt the ring of the thick rough rope slip through his head, he knew the time was here. The awful stench he could smell from the brown sack, which covers his face from the world. His senses heightened, he could hear movement around him, feet shuffling, deep breathing, and most of all, the sound of the man standing behind him, breathing on his neck like the predator that he is, the man who would kick the stool he stands on. The stool that’s so wobbly he could feel it shaking beneath his feet. He could hear the ticking off the clock in the room, going “tick tock tick tock”. Then as he felt the man behind him tighten the rope on his neck he saw his life flash before his eyes. Hideki Tojo was his name; he grew up following the footstep of the man he idolized the most his father. Thus a War Lord is born.…

    Fairy tales evolve over time as they are told from generation to generation, regardless if they are passed on by word of mouth or through print. Some have great variations; some are the same except a few mini details. No matter what the differences, they all have the moral in common at the heart of the story. With Cinderella, one learns that despite being unappreciated and doomed to serving others, as long as you are kind natured and a truly good person, your dreams will come true.…

    Most Americans could say that they have at least heard of Cinderella and her fairy godmother. In the German Version of Cinderella, “Aschenputtel,” there is no Fairy godmother. In “Aschenputtel,” Cinderella’s mother tells her “Dear child, remain pious and good, and then our dear God will always protect you, and I will look down on you from heaven and be near you." Later in the story Cinderella asks her father to bring home the first twig that brushes his hat. When given the twig Cinderella takes it to her mother’s grave and it grows into a magnificent tree. Cinderella then prays under the tree and pigeons and turtledoves bring Cinderella anything she wishes. These birds represent Cinderella’s mother’s spirit watching over her poor daughter. Animals, such as birds and mice, also appear in the Disney classic, but are more aides then guardians to Cinderella. These animals are introduced as humorous instead of saviors in the Disney version. The animals help her clean the house and do chores. Later on they also are transformed into steeds and drivers to take Cinderella to the ball. These differences give each story its lighter and darker feelings and dynamics affecting the readers’ emotions towards the animals and Cinderella.…

    However, all who are deemed these qualities are the villainesses of the stories. When the beautiful damsel is placed in distress, it is always the ugly villainess who places her there. Thus, as stated by Grauerholz there becomes an “ association between beauty and goodness and then conversely between ugliness and evil..” (qtd. in Hanafy). When a villainess acts out against the heroine, as seen in the characters of Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty, and the Evil Queen in Snow White, they do not act from any intelligible source of anger but rather from jealousy (mostly stemming from beauty) and pure malice, therefore furthering the reader and/or listeners disdain of powerful women, and instead reinstating one’s compassion, and reliability for the distressed heroine. Furthering dissuading people from connecting with the powerful women of the fairytales are that they always are punished in the end. No fairy tale ends with the villainess winning, she always gets her compuence. However, not all female characters fit between the dichotomies of malicious and good. There are a select few characters, particularly the fairy godmothers and the dwarves of Snow White, whom are portrayed as not only genial, powerful, and wise, but also help guide the heroine on her journey to find her Prince. Without the Fairy…
