Rapunzel is a fictional character, based off the Disney character of the same name. Unlike her Disney counterpart, she is not a Princess and is portrayed exclusively by actress/singer Taylor Swift. She appears in the Tangled: The Rapunzel Chronicles, loosely based off the animated movie, but taking place in a seperate universe.

Taylor Swift was originally intended to portray the Disney character for a "prequel" television series, but the development went through several phases and eventually Swift's Rapunzel became a unique character. Despite this, she still wears the Disney version's dress. Aside from being inspired by Disney's Rapunzel she is also inspired by Anne Hathaway's incarnation of Giselle, where as the Disney character was inspired by the Amy Adams incarnation.

Character history
At first, Taylor Swift portrays a fictional version of herself because in this incarnation, Rapunzel is Swift. Taylor Swift like her real world counterpart, was a famous actress and singer. While on vacation, she stays at her summer house for a while deciding to take a haitus for the summer. One night, she wakes up to a strange noise, she walks into the hallway to find the noise is comming from the attic. She goes up and walks through the attic, but can't find the source of that noise. Suddely, an little lizard runs across the room leading Swift to a corner of the room with a mysterious box.

Upon opening the box she finds a dress, she finds it strange because she never saw it before. She brings it with her downstairs. After a while she of wondering about its mysterious origin, she gets over it and decides to put it on. She finds the dress comfortable so she decides to keep wearing it.

After several hours, she starts to notice the lizard again, this time it's staying in one place, the dinning room table. She walks over to it, and it walks toward her, eventually it climbs onto her hand and she pets it and puts it on her shoulder. Suddenly something magical happens, her hair starts to grow out extremely long and her shoes start to crack and break into pieces, she undergoes a transformation that turns her into Rapunzel.

Swift attempts to cut her hair several times, only for the hair to grow out again, longer. She also attempts several times to put on shoes, but every time the shoes, or footwear of anykind, decintigrate in a matter of seconds, forcing her to continue going barefoot.

Swift eventually gives up, and begins having fun with her lizard friend. At first, she would have fun in the house doing activities such as painting the walls and making cookies to playing music with her guitar. Eventually, Rapunzel wants to get out of the house to have further adventures outside. The series also focuses on several boyfriend's she has, who eventually leave her in believing she's insane. She dates more guys throughout the series, but to no avail. She becomes increasing innocent and playful by the end of Season 1.

Rapunzel Curse
Eventually by season 2, it's revealed that the dress is an ancient relic from the mideval ages. The original Princess who wore the dress, went against her father's wishes and went out with the prince of an enemy kingdom. Unfortunately, the prince turned out to practice magic (which was illegal) and the two were executed. Before his death, the evil Prince put a curse of the Princesses dress which would cause whoever wears it, make them extremely innocent and playful. This is why the wearer has their grow their hair out as long as it possibly could in a matter of seconds as well as have their feet unable to be covered by footwear.

The long hair and barefeet are meant to make the wearer have trouble walking, leaving them valnurable to danger. However, Swift overcomes these challanges by brading her hair preventing her from tripping on it. The soles of her feet are magically protected by the dress allowing her to walk on virtually any surface without damaging her feet or making the skin tough. They do, however, collect dirt.

Appearance and Abilities
Disney's Rapunzel is 18 years old during the film, and is considered a beauty, but Swift's Rapunzel is slightly older, being in her early 20's. She has fair skin with a light tint of blush to it and is mostly known for her golden blonde hair which in length is around 70 feet.

Rapunzel's dress is a traditional German dress called the "Dirndl", with longer skirt than a normal Dirndl dress would sport, and her dress also has a purple theme, with a pink accent. The dress itself consists of a corset top, lavender in color and laced with a pink ribbon. The skirt is purple and decorated with swirl designs, in pink, dark purple and white. She also wears a white petticoat underneath. The skirt's hemline is above her ankles, but well below her calves. Her sleeves, at the top, are puffed and striped, pink and lavender, and the rest, is a pale, baby pink, with white lace at the end. Rapunzel can not cut her hair, if she does so, it'll grow back out, possibly even longer. She can not wear shoes, all typed of footwear merely disintigrate within seconds of her putting it on, so she is forced to go barefoot all the time.

The biggest difference between Swift's and Disney's Rapunzels is that she possesses no superhuman-powers whatsoever. She is a talented singer and actress and well as dancer and painter. Beside the magical regenerating hair and unable to wear footwear as part of the "Rapunzel Curse", she's a normal young human woman.

Video Game
Eventually, Rapunzel meets her Disney counterpart in a crossover video game event, Tangled: The Best of Both Worlds. They have to fight in a cross dimensional event. In the game, it is revealed that her lizard is actually Pascal from the Disneyverse having gained the ability to jump through dimensions under unknown circumstances. The two Rapunzels end up in an interdimension between there repective universes.

The Disney half of the game takes place after the events of the film Tangled, while Taylor Swift's character's half takes place during her show's second season. Not suprisingly, the Disney Repunzel is now a queen, married to Flynn, having grown more mature from when viewers last saw her in Tangled. She no longer has long blond hair, no longer wears her signature dress, and no longer goes barefoot. Unfortunately, she also spends alot less time with Pascal, causing him to begin hopping dimensions to Taylor's world, where he transforms Swift into Rapunzel as seen in the show.

Meanwhile, in the "real world" (Taylor's World), Rapunzel has become exactly like her former Disney counterpart. She's become increasing playful and innocent, wears a dress resembling her counterparts' original look, has long blond hair and goes barefoot. Unlike her counterpart, she has become increasing independent and able to defend herself, often using a frying pan as a weapon in situations where she's in danger.

In this interdimension, the two Rapunzels are clueless as to where they are. Before each turning aroung and seeing eachother. Both girls are even more baffled, especially Disney Rapunzel as she is wondering why someone else has taken on her former appearance.

Unlike both the show and movie alike, this crossover game was intended for older audiences, meaning the game is more voilent and has more adult language and sexual references in it than the show and movie alike. The two girls begin to fight eachother. Disney's Rapunzel has a new staff weapon and Swift's has her frying pan. The original Rapunzel says "Ok I don't know who you are bitch, but no one steals my identity. I will fight you for to get my identity back. That's a promise and I never break a promise!" The two begin to fight, the player can choose either Rapunzel as a player. The game contains two campaign's one for each incarnation. The outcome of the battle depends on the player. Ironically, Swift can use her hair as a weapon. Swift can use her hair to trip Rapunzel in battle.

After the battle, Swift ends up on Repunzel's world. In a series of missions, Swift saves several people from a fire, and becomes popular in the village. Eventually, the original Rapunzel arrives back her own world. She becomes furious to see that her "copy-cat" is popular in the kingdom. They engage in yet another battle.

Meanwhile, Pascal realizes Swift is the better companion and passes a burst of energy unto Swift allowing her to defeat Rapunzel. Swift then retreats to the forest where Pascal follows her. Giving a angry look at the original Rapunzel before leaving.

Later Flynn arrives at the castle, back from doing aarons and see's Rapunzel on her throne sad. Flynn asks what happened and she simply looks to the audience, with an expression that makes the viewers believe she's wondering why she did such wrongful things to Pascal's new friend, and says simply " Just bad memories..."

Pascal climbs onto Swift's shoulder and Swift is suprised and glad to see him again, he then points to soemthing and leads Swift to Rapunzel's old tower. Pascal then teleprts her inside. They two begin having fun with all of Rapunzel's old activities.

Meanwhile in the real world, Harry Styles, Taylor's exboyfriend, arrives at Swifts summer home knocking on the door, only for a maid to answer and claim she hasn't seen her for a week. Having appearently heard about hear recent transformation into Rapunzel, he asks "What the hell has been going on with her lately?" And the maid simply laughs saying "She needs to lay off her "prescriptions"." and closes the door. He then leaves saying to himself "She was becoming fucking crazy anyway."

The game ends with a video, of Rapunzel's new life in her counterpart's former tower. With Swift's real-life hit song 22 playing in the background, the video begins with a close up on her soles of her barefeet, walking toward a window. When see her sitting at the window's rim looking at this new world. She has her guitar and begins to play it. Meanwhile clips are shown of her an Pascal playing around, painting and making cookies. In some alternate versions of the game, the more appropriate song "You Belong With Me!" plays instead (also by Swift) over the same exact video.
