Description
Female characters in fairy tales are not lucky: they are often devoured by wolves or ill-treated by their sisters, mothers, fathers and husbands. As for boys, when they are ugly, they can also be tormented. Actually, there is always a cruel ogre looking for fresh flesh! Needless to say, fairies, who are unpredictable creatures, can interfere and change the course of history, but it is rarely helpful, for magic is not as efficient as intelligence and humanity.
