"Tatterhood" is a fairy tale from Norway collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe. In it, a beggar woman tells a queen that she will have children if she eats one of two flowers, but warns her that, since one is pretty and one is ugly, to ONLY eat the pretty one. The Queen eats the ugly one as well. Then she gives birth to two daughters; the younger twin is beautiful, good-natured and well-behaved, and the elder twin is... not.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Of course, the elder twin, named Tatterhood for her ragged clothes (she also carries a wooden ladle and rides on a goat), has her redeeming qualities — she's a stone-cold badass princess who takes the law into her own hands where goblins and witches are concerned, even running outside during their terrifying celebration and bopping them on the head with her ladle. Her maids are less brave, though, and a witch turns the beautiful princess into a calf. Tatterhood, deciding that this just won't do, takes her sister on a long sea-voyage to break the spell, eventually breaking into the witches' castle and fighting them all off in order to turn her sister back into a human.After this, the sisters travel at sea for a while, until they come to a faraway kingdom where the beautiful princess ends up marrying a forty-year-old king while Tatterhood marries his son. When Tatterhood marries, however, a final surprise awaits...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Can be read online here.It has been remade by Opals Free Stories.Not related to the tale "Tattercoats". Compare to "Prince Lindworm" for one twin being born unusual after one queen eats two flowers instead of one, "The Cat on the Dovrefell" for the celebration she interrupts and "Kate Crackernuts" for the transformation of her sister.

Action Girl: Tatterhood. And how. Even when only "half grown up" she takes on an unknown number of trolls and witches and beats them easily.
