Chapter 1: Here Comes Cupid / The Shoe Must Go On





For those not in the know; Charlico Agathorne (Yes, that was her given name but they never used it in either canon) Cupid was supposed to be bridging gap between Monster High and Ever After High.

Problem was, she wasn't quite an established character in the MH-verse. She debuted in Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love, got one doll that would go on to be ridiculously expensive, was maybe in two Monster High webisodes (I clearly remember one with her, Frankie, and Abbey and a school project about the weather, seriously, is this high school or not), and pushed to a brand that most parents thought was a knock-off of MH anyway.

I know there was build up to a legitimate crossover movie - you can find storyboards on youtube - but there really should have been some establishing special, with clear, established characters visiting EAH and then leaving Cupid over there. The teaser website (I distinctly remember 'Village of Book End' being one domain that lead to the site; They seem to have been taken down in every capacity) was beautiful and atmospheric, and involved Frankie, Clawdeen, and Draculaura expressing good wishes to Cupid in her new adventure.

Cupid was never a character I cared too deeply about, though I did like both outfits she wore.

Chapter 1: Maddie In Chief / Briar's Study Party



Semi-Exactly what it says on the tin.

Chapter 1: Stark Raven Mad / True Reflections



Technically, The Tale of Legacy Day is the second to last episode in Chapter 1. So, we can simply move on to Chapter 1 itself and work our way down there. We're going to keep doing two episodes at a time. Luckily, they're only about two minutes long.


  1. Stark Raven Mad
  2. True Reflections
  3. Maddie-in-Chief
  4. Briar's Study Party
  5. Here Comes Cupid
  6. The Shoe Must Go On
  7. The Cat Who Cried Wolf
  8. Cedar Wood Would Love to Lie
  9. Catching Raven
  10. The Tale of Legacy Day
  11. The Day Ever After
  12. Replacing Raven

The Beginning: Apple's Tale: The Story of a Royal \ Raven's Tale: The Story of a Rebel



Since this is basically one episode made into two, we're going to look at both at once.

  1. The World of Ever After High
  2. Apple's Tale: The Story of a Royal
  3. Raven's Tale: The Story of a Rebel
  4. The Tale of Legacy Day

The Beginning - The World of Ever After High


The Beginning is before the actual first storyline and outlines everything up until the end of what is called Chapter 1.
  1. The World of Ever After High
  2. Apple's Tale: The Story of a Royal
  3. Raven's Tale: The Story of a Rebel
  4. The Tale of Legacy Day
No other chapters get this benefit, but in fairness the conflict is more or less non existent after Chapter 1 anyway.

Ever After High Retrospective - Welcome (Back?)


I'm going to be revisiting the storyline of Mattel's all but defunct Fairy Tale spinoff, Ever After High.

The Wikia has a list of every cartoon posted on the franchise's official Youtube page, stopping with individual episodes, as Mattel has been putting up two-hour long blocks of random clips for the past...year? It's a sad comedown.
