The Tale of Despereaux

            Despereaux was not a normal mouse. He was born with his eyes opened, he did not scurry and he had strangely large ears than the others. Despereaux was the only mouse that fell in love with the princess Pea. Since the whole mouse community figured out he was not normal he was sent to the cellar to be killed by the Rats.

            Chiaroscuro was a rat, who did not behave like a normal rat. He was drawn to light, and despite his community insisting that rats belong in the dungeon. It was his foray out of the dungeon and into the light that indirectly caused the Queen's death and therefore further persecution of rats.

Miggery Sow was a human had a very injured soul. Sold by her father to a man who beat her head until her ears became deformed, she sees the princess one day as a child and develops a dream that she can be a princess one day. Uneducated and clearly challenged, she does not understand that a common person can never become a princess.
