 * This article is about the American Enchanted Wonderland Princess, for her German counterpart, see: Rapunzel.

Princess Giselle is a fictional character, a young woman from the kingdom of Underland (later called Andalasia), and the main protagonist of Disney's 2007 hybrid film Enchanted. She is both voiced and portrayed by Amy Adams.

Her history was adjusted so she would be the younger version of the character, Mirana of Marmorea, The White Queen, portrayed by Anne Hathaway in the 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton, where she is depicted as the sister of the Red Queen, who would later play a part in revealing her true identity as Giselle in the sequels to Alice in Wonderland.

The White Queen is based of the fictional character of the same name from Lewis Carroll's fantasy novella Through the Looking-Glass, while Giselle is an original character created specifically for the movie Enchanted based off several Disney Princess characters.


 * "I feel more connected to the Forest, I enjoy the company of my talking animal friends. I enjoy not having to worry abut the danger our world could be in. I enjoy feeling the wet forest ground on the soles of my feet, not caring about how dirty they get. With Underland finally at Peace, it no longer needs me to rule it. Besides, you are the true hero, you have proven yourself to be a better Queen than I ever was. You saved my life, have slayed the Jabberwocky and my evil sister, you Alice are now the Queen of Underland." - Giselle Mirana, before giving up her role as White Queen for good.

Alice in Wonderland and White Queen of Wonderland
As part of the Enchanted Wonderland project, White Queen and Giselle's histories were retconned to make them one entity. The two films The White Queen of Wonderland and Rise of Alice in Wonderland would "connect the gap" serving as a sequel to Alice in Wonderland and a prequel to Enchanted, tieing the two characters together as one. Giselle was a peasant living alone in a cottage with several talking animals in Underland. One day she was lucky, as a prince arrived at her cottage, offered to marry her, she accepted. When Giselle began her reign her husband gave her a necklace that transformed her into Mirana of Marmoreal, the White Queen. At some point her husband went missing and was assumed dead. After this, the events of the first film take place. The White Queen was at Hightopp village when the Jabberwocky burned it down. She was led out of the village, but lost her crown out of confusion. She is later seen when Bayard comes to tell her that Alice is at the Red Queen's castle at Salazen Grum. She forgives him as Alice will also find the Vorpal sword.

When Alice goes to Marmoreal on the Bandersnatch, she hands over Mirana the Vorpal sword, which is now with the armor. Since Alice is too big, she makes Pishsalver with disgusting ingredients. After Alice drinks it, she becomes the right size. She is then at the chessboard-like battlefield with her army when she gives Iracebeth one more chance for peace, but she declines. Mirana then set forth her chosen champion Alice to battle the Jabberwocky. After Alice slays the Jabberwock, she reclaims her crown and banishes Iracebeth and the Knave to the Outlands. The rest of the film then continues onto to the events after the first movie. While in the Outlands, Iracebeth planned revenge so she uses her minions to build a machine capable of cloning the white Queen. The process is hard a requires a sacrifice to jumpstart. Red Queen coldly throws the Knave of Hearts into the machine and it comes to life at the cost of killing him. Red Queen submerges herself in the machine and she is reformated into a exact copy of the White Queen she can now get her 200revenge on her sister for banishing her to the Outlands.

Mirana enjoying another stroll through Underland has a feeling something bad will happen and decides it may be a good time to initiate an emergency protocol. She records a message ment for Alice to see, White Queen realizes she wont live forever so she names Alice her succesor for her heroic acts during the battle for Underland. She decides to send it to a emergency signal so Alice will only recive the message if she truly is in danger and will then magically transport her to Underland without having to go the process she did before. That night the White Queen clone breaks in to the castle and trys to take the real Queens necklace only her to find that its around her neck. She proceeds to ttempt to take it but she wakes up and they fight. The fight continues for several minutes until the clone suceeds in snatching the Queens necklace transforming her back into her Giselle form. Guards come in and clone now claiming to be the real Queen claims that Giselle was trying to steal her necklase. Giselle is aressted. White Queen sentences her to the cottage she once lived in which her now been converted to a prison.

Rise of Alice in Wonderland
There several assistants redress her. They wash the white makeup off her face, unroll her hair out of a bun, change her into a pink revealing dress which only went up to her underarms. This dress has several transparent pieces mostly seen in two shoulder ribbons and at the bottom of the dress. Theres a little opening at the bottom of her dress revealing her legs. Finally her stockings and high-heels were removed and she was left to go barefoot. After the assistants left she was forced to get used to her new environment but knowing the message was sent allowed her to get used to it much easier. Meanwhile Alice, unhappy with her life in the real world, has a dream, which is actually the message sent by the White Queen. When she wakes up, she is in the middle of a forest in front of a cottage. She goes up to the cottage only to find the door locked. After a moment however, she phases through it and she finds Giselle inside. Alice asks who is there, Giselle turns around and Alice realizes its the White Queen.

Alice is suprised to see the White Queen in a cobdemened old cottage rather than a castle wearing nothing but a revealing pink dress made out of rags and going barefoot. Alice asks how she could live in such conditions and how she got there in the first place to which Giselle tells her over a cup of tea. Giselle tells her how she must get the necklace back so the people of Underland can be free again, knowing her clone is most likely a creation of the Red Queen. Then she tells Alice to hide as guards come in. The guards take her to the Hatter, who has been lobotimized and believes he is now an archivist as Giselle is seated before him so she can tell him her last words before she is executed. Meanwhile, Alice hitches a ride on the back of the carrage carrying Gisselle to the Archivist and runs to the castle.

Giselle tells the archivist her life story which is recorded and sent to the Queen to judge. After Giselle finishes telling her story her magnetic handcuffs are activated and the guards take her to an execution chamber. After Giselle leaves the room, the archivist spawns a tear. At the castle, Alice finds the necklace as the clone Queen walks out address Giselle at her execution. Alice snatches the necklace and Giselle tells her through the necklace telepathically to put it on as it is her turn to rule Underland. Though Alice refuses at fitrst she realizes it may be the only chance to stop the clone.

Alice places the necklace around her neck and it magically transforms her into a White Queen with a new Mech battlesuit. Giselle is seated before an audience before the executioner places a helmet over her head containing a metal nail. At the pull of a trigger, the nail is punched into her forehead killing her instantly before Alice arrives. Alice is angry at the sight of the dead Giselle and Alice battles the White clone. In the battle, the clone reveals her true identity as the Red Queen. The two are evenly matched until Alice shoots the clone with a machine gun. She then uses her necklace to open up a time portal and shoot a missle into the past where it travels to the Outlands and kills Red Queen before she has the chance to create the cloning machine. This being done the future is erased and Giselle lives again as the White Queen.

In the new timeline, only Alice and the White Queen retained their memories of the original. With the Red Queen presumably dead and everything back to normal, the White Queen is glad to be in her castle again, but not really. Alice still in Underland realizes she has no where to go becuase the clone was never created, Alice never came to Underland to stop her, realizes a second her could be in the real world she doesn't to risk running into herself and creating a paradox so she chooses to stay in Underland living in the White Queen's castle.

However, the White Queen has a hard time getting reused to her reaponsiblity as Queen and dicides that Alice should take the necklace back. Alice refuses again, but White Queen tells her she has earned the responsibility and besides she wants to live with her animal friends again in a carefree life. She takes off her necklace and gives it to Alice, transforming Alice into a powerful mech power suited White Queen while she herself reverts back to her peach skinned, now blue dressed, and barefooted form of Giselle. She departs with her animal friends back into the forest.

As Queen Alice decides to rebuild Underland into a nicer place use her mech suit to change it into a Animated world and renaming it Andalasia. Eventually, Giselle would begin to wait for a prince once more hoping this time is would be forever. Alice wouls stay in Underland unti she died, she would get married to a king and there daughter would take the throne, however she became corrupt and when her step son began admiring Giselle, her mother's predecessor, she would not sit well with this.

Enchanted
Now retroactively portrayed as the main protagonist of Disney's 2007 hybrid film Enchanted, Giselle began living in the forest in a house with her woodland animal friends. They help her make a mannequin of her dream prince and she explains to them about how she wants a true love's kiss with that special person, particularly a prince. She is soon attacked by a giant ogre who attempts to eat her. With the help of her best friend Pip, she manages to send the ogre flying (literally) but falls off a tree when the tree branch she is holding breaks. She then meets Prince Edward who, captivated with her beauty and voice, decides to marry her the next day. Giselle, elated that she has found her special someone, rushes to the castle the next day to be wed. However, Prince Edward's stepmother, Queen Narissa, pretends to be an old hag and leads her to a "wishing well" so she can make a wish before she gets married. Giselle wishes to live happily ever with Prince Edward but is pushed by Narissa into the well which leads to Earth at present-day New York.

She is at first very distressed by her surroundings, as no one tries to help her and she can't find her way back. Eventually, she meets Robert and his daughter Morgan who climbed out of the taxi they were riding after seeing Giselle. She falls asleep in Robert's apartment and he allows her to stay the night. She decides to repay them the next morning by cleaning up the house with the help of the animals of New York City (which turned out to be rats, mice, birds and insects). Robert, however, is not at all pleased as there are rodents, bugs, and other animals in his house and he shoos them away. He is further annoyed when his girlfriend Nancy appears and sees Giselle wrapped in a shower towel on top of them (though she merely tripped and fell on him). He tries to find out where she lives and send her there, to no success. He then tries to leave her and gives her money so she can "call" her prince. However, after he sees her giving the money away to an old woman, he decides to follow after her.

The two soon spend the rest of the day getting to know each other and she manages to find happiness with the initially-cynical Robert, her time with Robert opening her eyes to a reality that was more complex and engaging than anything she had previously known, growing from her old role as a 'damsel in distress' to a strong, confident fighter. Nathaniel, who was sent by Narissa to kill Giselle with a poison apple, also appears throughout their day to try to kill Giselle, to no avail. The two begin to understand more about each other and develop feelings for one another, although both do not yet realize their feelings. Eventually, Prince Edward finally manages to find Giselle and asks her to come back with him. She asks Prince Edward if she can go on a date with him before they go. The two enjoy their date together but Giselle still tries to buy time so she can stay longer in New York. She tells Prince Edward about an upcoming ball and he decides they should go there and then come back to Andalasia. She agrees and enlists Morgan's help in getting her ready. The two begin to bond like a mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Narissa is upset that Nathaniel has not killed Giselle yet and decides to finish the job herself.

Giselle comes to the ball and dances with Prince Edward and with Robert and realizes her feelings for Robert. However, she knows that Nancy and he are together and upon seeing them kiss, has her heart broken. Narissa approaches Giselle once more as an old hag and gives her an apple, which she says will make her forget about her experiences on Earth. She bites it and faints. Narissa tries to escape but Prince Edward cathes her and Nathaniel reveals her treachery, no longer wanting to do her dirty work. Prince Edward tries to wake her with a kiss, but it fails. Robert then tries it and she wakes up. Narissa, angered that her plan failed, transforms into a dragon to try and kill Giselle, but instead catches Robert as he defends her. With the help of Pip and Robert, Giselle successfully kills Narissa and shares her second kiss with Robert. Prince Edward decides to give up on Giselle and soon falls in love with Robert's ex-girlfriend Nancy. Giselle now lives with Robert and Morgan, becoming part of their family and starting her own fashion range.

Non-canon appearances
Giselle hangs out with the Disney Princesses especially going to a sleepover with them and even Belle would be nice to have a sleepover with her.

Personality and appearance
It is interesting to note that she is able to complete the potion that allows Alice to shrink by spewing in her own "Wishful Thinking" for the final installment of the needed ingredient. When she moves, she does so gracefully, giving the illusion that she is perpetually dancing. In her original appearance, she had white hair, white skin wore white clothes and had a big white dress. When her necklace was removed, transforming her back into Giselle, her skin changed back to a peach color and her hair turned blackish brown, she also had this appearance before she was the White Queen. She was redressed by the clone's assistants into a dress resembling animated Giselle's in Enchanted, right down to the flower tiara. In this form, she went barefoot, though at first it was forced upon her as a punishment, she continue to in the altered timeline, even stating she perfers it to "connect with the forest better. She briefly dons a blue version of this dress, eventually returning back to her pink dress when the world became animated ("purified") by Alice. Upon almos getting married, she wears a wedding dress with heels, being the first pair of shoes she put on since the third Alice in Wonderland film. She eventually gains another blue dress though this time she continues wearing shoes and continues wearing it after arriving in the real world. It's also interesting to note, that Giselle is somewhat immortal, having outlived Alice and still retaining her youth. It's even suggest she has gotten younger by the time of Enchanted. Her original White Queen clothes and persona are similar to those of the historical Scottish Queen Mary Stuart.

Production background
Giselle and the White Queen were orginally two different unrelated character from two unrelated Disney movies, Giselle portrayed by Amy Adams in 2007's Enchanted and the White Queen portrayed by Anne Hathaeay in 2010's Alice in Wonderland. However the sequel films The White Queen and Rise of Alice tie the two together, establishing Enchanted as being a sequel and the two films take place in the continuity.

At the beginning of the Enchanted film, she is originally an archetypal Disney princess. Because she lives in the perfect fantasy world of Andalasia, she has never felt emotions such as frustration and anger which are common on Earth. She dreams of having her prince charming, whom she will fall in love with and live happily ever after. She also loves animals, who help her both in Andalasia and on Earth.

When she comes to New York City, her experiences in Andalasia make her blind and naive to the complexity of Earth and she becomes rather distressed and confused during her first night in New York. Her naivety also tends to frustrate Robert, who had agreed to let her stay with him until Edward, her dream prince from Andalasia comes for her. However, over the course of the film, her experiences on Earth with Robert open her up to a more complex world she had never experienced in Andalasia, along with introducing her to emotions such as anger and sadness. She also grows into a mother figure for Robert's daughter, Morgan.

Despite maturing over the course of the film, she still retains her innocence, optimism and kind nature. Hailing from Andalasia, Giselle displays similar traits to the Disney Princesses; Lima describes her as "about 80% Snow White, with some traits borrowed from Cinderella and Princess Aurora... although her spunky attitude comes from Ariel a.k.a. The Little Mermaid." She is "eternally optimistic and romantic" but is also "very independent and true to her convictions".
