Rapunzel References/ Synopsis

So I was assigned Rapunzel by the Brother's Grimm. I wanted to give Rapunzel a more modern art feel to it. Rapunzel, the princess of the story. I'm gonna give her the physical features of Daveigh Chase. Aside from that, I'm gonna give her blueish-teal hair. She's gonna have an innocent look to her as well. She has more strength than what she's granted for.
Dame Gothel, the antagonist of the story will be based off of Lady Gaga and her odd yet interesting fashion sense, primarily from her Born This Way and ARTPOP era. I'm gonna give her green hair. Bob cut. Always wearing a different shade of lipstick (primarily in the dark/neutral shades). She has the power to conjure shadows to steal youth away from people who oppose her. The only one she cannot touch is Rapunzel. Which is why she captures her when she was a baby to find out why. She was knighted by the Queen (use to be friends and she was the right hand lady to the queen until she obtained a power that made her betray both the King and Queen)
King and Queen, The King and Queen are the most interesting characters in the Rapunzel story. Starting with the king, He has a British military attire going on. He wears a margiela mask at all times and barely speaks at all. The Queen usually speaks for him. He's has telekinetic powers and with a wave of his hand he can command an army without fail. The queen has a more flamboyant yet powerful appearance. Her colors are usually bright, depending on her and the King's mood. They both are knowledgeable of Dame Gothel and they are waiting patiently to strike.
Prince Charming, the savior of Rapunzel. He wears a feather mask for unknown reasons. He's speaks in a Scottish accent and he can conjure strong gusts of winds to blow away his enemies. He can quickly get away from enemies by summoning a cloud and flying away on it. He usually wears all white and he uses his hands to illustrate his points.
In this version, the King and Queen have a baby and named her Rapunzel. Some time after the baby turns five months, Dame Gothel obtains a dark power that quickly consumes her. She forms a coup d'état against the King and Queen but it quickly failed. Before fleeing, she kidnaps Rapunzel and disappears in the night. Sixteen years later Rapunzel, is almost fully grown and wants to escape the tower. Because of the rampion bellflower, she has grown to become a strong woman with extraordinarily untapped power. Gothel disapproves and they get into a huge fight. Gothel tries to use her power to tame Rapunzel, but a magical force protects her from Gothel's dark forces. Surprised by this, she locks her away in a dark part of the tower. She send a letter via dove to anyone who could save her. Prince Charming gets the letter and is directed by the bird to the tower. When he arrives, he writes another letter and sends it to the royal castle. When the Queen receives the letter, she gives it to the King, which soon after sends an army of one thousand men to retrieve their daughter. Charming tries to get in the tower, but Gothel is aware of his presence by the shadows outside the tower and they get into a big fight. Rapunzel eventually learns how to manifest her powers and escapes the dungeon. While Charming is close to death, Rapunzel arrives and fights by his side. Soon the army arrives. Epic Battle ensues and Gothel is taken down by Rapunzel's power of light. The she returns to the kingdom with Charming, the King and Queen gives charming their blessings and they get eloped. My version of Rapunzel is based off of my interpretation of Modern Art and Haute Couture fashion. Instead of it being light and tame like the other versions, my version is gonna be dark. Instead of it being located in Germany, it's gonna be located in Scotland on the Isle of Skye. The bosses will be The King's Army (For Gothel), Theives and Master Bone (Charming), Gothel unpowered (Rapunzel), Stone Beasts (Charming), Gothel (Charming), Gothel full powered(Rapunzel and Charming).
