And Mekia's name on the call sheet is actually Tiana, while people like Gabrielle and Dania have their characters' cursed names listed instead. I still wonder if she's a special case. Shame it's not Carol. That would've been clever. Anyone know why it might be Tilly? It's short for Matilda which means "strength in battle", so that could refer to a Warrior!Alice again.

I hope it's not just Tiana. It seems like a weird exception for her to be the only person without a cursed name (and I have a hard time seeing it being a Nurse Ratched situation). The only characters like that with the original Dark Curse were Regina and David, the latter having gone by James and the former being the caster of the... oh. Surely that's not the case? Tiana is a "pure Disney character" so it could be a reason as why she seems to keep her real name. We don't really know that Tiana is a "pure Disney character"/Disney insert. All we know is that she looks like and is named after the Disney version and that's true for Ariel, too, even though her plot is much different than Disney's. (Honestly, Ariel looks more like the Disney version than Elsa does.) And that Mekia calls her a Disney princess but people say that about Once's Snow White, Belle, etc. all the time even though only Elsa, Anna, and Merida are actually direct Disney inserts with a backstory stated to be the movie in its unedited form (more-or-less).

Good catch on the Tillie/Tilly thing, though.

What I mean by "pure Disney character" is that a character that Disney took directly from a story like Belle or Ariel. The story and the character is one of their creations :)
