Character Descriptions

• Ella: Though no-one notices her beneath her rags and quiet demeanor, she is opinionated, charismatic, passionate, beautiful, and funny. Idealistic and hopeful, she courageously challenges the Prince to change the policies in his kingdom-and helps him discover who he truly is.
• Topher: A misguided and lost Prince who longs to do something important with his life. Though brave and heroic, he feels lonely and unfulfilled. Charming but NOT a stereotypical ladies man, he is thoughtful, appealing, and innocent-with an unforced goofy streak. 
• Madame: 
• Gabrielle: 
• Charlotte: 
• Marie: 
• Sebastian:
• Jean-Michel:
• Lord Pinkleton:  ​

​Groups of Characters
