It's a Gender Flip of The Twelve Dancing Princesses.Kate's mother, who is a queen, marries Anne's father, who is a king.

Everyone who has stayed the night with him has vanished. Kate decides to stay with him.The next night, the prince gets up in the darkness and rides off.

Guile Hero | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_2a02e5c9 | comment |
Guile Hero: Kate is much more active than the stereotypical fairy-tale princess, and uses her cleverness to secure her happy ending. She negotiates a job taking care of the ill prince, uses some well-placed nuts to swipe a magic wand and magic bird to save Anne and the prince, and wins the prince's hand in marriage. | |

When the Clock Strikes Twelve | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_3429147e | comment |
When the Clock Strikes Twelve: Kate's job is to watch the prince while he sleeps, monitoring his condition as he suffers from a mysterious illness. For the first part of the night, all is normal, but at the stroke of twelve he suddenly gets up in a trance. He dresses himself, saddles his horse, and rides off to a fairy mound where he's compelled to dance the life out of himself until the cock crows. | |

Kate Crackernuts / int_4712bc4f | comment |
Exact Eavesdropping: On the second night, Kate overhears a fairy saying that three waves of a wand a fairy child is playing with will disenchant Anne. On the third night, the child is playing with a magic bird, and Kate overhears the same fairy saying that three bites of it will disenchant the prince. Kate makes the child let go of the wand and then the bird by secretly rolling some nuts to him. | |

Family-Unfriendly Violence: The henwife doesn't merely transform Anne's head into a sheep's; she uses her magic to sever Anne's head from her body and pop a sheep's head on in its place. Some illustrations show Anne's true head mid-scream upon looking at herself. | |

Tomboy Princess | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_75898be8 | comment |
Tomboy Princess: Kate takes on the role more typically associated with princes in fairy tales. She defies a wicked queen, braves a dangerous quest with nothing but her wits, saves a princess from an evil spell, and wins the prince's hand in marriage after breaking a different evil spell. | |

Deconstruction | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Comes off this way compared to The Twelve Dancing Princesses—while the princesses seem to just love dancing all night for fun, the prince in this story is left as an invalid and is unable to function during the day as a result. | |

Rule of Three | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_a6cda066 | comment |
Rule of Three: Even by fairy tale standards, the number three has a significance to nearly every major plot development: It takes the Queen and the hen wife three tries to successfully replace Anne's head with a sheep's head. This is because, the first two times, Anne had eaten on the way. Kate follows the prince to three different fairy balls. Three waves of the fairy child's wand turn Anne back to normal. Three bites of the magic bird cure the prince. | |

Princess Classic | |
Kate Crackernuts / int_db361e64 | comment |
Princess Classic: Anne is sweet, innocent, and the Fairest of Them All. This enrages her stepmother, who believes that distinction should go to her own daughter, Kate. So the queen conspires with a Wicked Witch to turn Anne into a monster. However, Kate defies the usual "wicked stepsister" trope, abandoning her mother and the throne to travel with Anne in search of a way to lift the spell. | |

Good Princess, Evil Queen: The Queen conspires to curse Princess Anne with ugliness so as to make her own daughter, Kate, lovelier by comparison. However, unlike most stepsisters in fairy tales, Kate is horrified by what her mother has done and flees the kingdom with Anne to find a way to break the spell. | |
