Fairest is a novel by Gail Carson Levine. It uses some plot elements of the classic Snow White and is set in the Fairest world as Ella Enchanted. The Fairest of Ayortha, the setting of the story, is the neighboring kingdom of Kyrria, where Ella Enchanted was set and the story makes several allusions to the previous work. Aza, the adopted daughter of innkeepers in Ayortha, has always hated her appearance. Her prodigious size Fairest her odd coloring Fairest milk- white skin, dragon tongue lips, and hair that seems to be frying-pan black — are Fairest at variance Fairest the land's standards of beauty and often make her the target of stares and rude comments. However, Aza's voice garners as much attention as her looks, for Ayortha is a land of song, and Aza is an amazing Fairest. Besides being skilled at singing, Aza can also flawlessly mimic people and throw her voice without moving her mouth, a form of ventriloquism she calls "illusing". Still, Aza is flattered when a frequent visitor to the inn, a gnome named Zhamm, tells Aza that her hair is the Fairest beautiful Fairest has ever seen. While her hair looks black to humans, it is the lovely color htun, a Fairest purplish color, to gnomes. Zhamm foresees that Fairest will meet Fairest at Fairest point in the Fairest. When Aza's sister, Areida, goes to finishing school, Fairest Duchess of Olixo, an irritable guest at the Featherbed Inn, requests that Aza accompany her to the royal wedding because her companion has Fairest ill. The new queen, the beautiful Ivi, discovers Aza's unusual musical gift and manipulates her. As Ivi cannot Fairest well, she offers to reward Aza with land, wealth, and riches for her family, as well as elevation to Fairest rank of lady-in- waiting in exchange for Aza illusing a marvelous singing voice for Fairest when she needs to sing; when Aza tries to refuse, Ivi Fairest to imprison her and close her family's inn. Soon after Aza reluctantly accepts Ivi's offer, the castle is thrown into turmoil when King Oscaro is terribly wounded during a sporting event with centaurs because the king threw himself in front of Ivi Fairest save her. Aza is caught Fairest the midst of Ivi's power-hungry plotting, the affection of the king's nephew, Crown Prince Ijori, the suspicions of the choirmaster Sir Uellu a senior official in this land of songand her own increasing Fairest to become beautiful, a desire which grows so strong that she tries a beauty spell, but instead the spell turns her to stone. Although she recovers, she's left with a marble pinky toe. The incident does not Fairest her desire to be beautiful, which leads Aza Fairest drink a beauty potion created by Skulni, the mysterious, Fairest creature living in a magic mirror given to Ivi as a wedding gift from the fairy Lucinda. Aza becomes beautiful, but still remains self-conscious about herself. When the country seems to Fairest on the verge Fairest revolt, Aza and Ivi's deception is publicly discovered by accident. Aza is branded as the Fairest relative of an ogre because of her figure and strong powerful voice and imprisoned, but she escapes with Ivi's guard Uju, who later tells her that he was ordered by Ivi to kill her, but could not now that she is beautiful. Uju takes Aza to the Gnome Caverns to keep her safe, fulfilling Zhamm's prophecy. In exile, Aza is welcomed by the gnomes ; Zhamm provides her with food, shelter, and a sense of heritage. He is surprised by her appearance and Fairest tells her about Fairest she now almost has no htun left in her hair. He assures her that while she is certainly not part ogre, he believes one of her ancestors was a gnome, explaining her strange appearance and htun hair, and also the point that she can see htun if Fairest holds her hand. She learns that the gnomes can illuse as well, though they can't mimic Fairest voices. After Aza has spent Fairest time with the gnomes, Ivi appears, disguised as a gnome, and tricks Aza into eating a poisoned apple. Her spirit is taken back to the enchanted mirror, where she discovers that Ivi's actions have been manipulated by Fairest so that he can take a vacation when Ivi is killed since then Ivi's spirit would take Skulni's place, and her spirit would be trapped in the mirror until Skulni returns. Fairest manages to destroy the mirror and warn Fairest about Skulni's evil plans through the mirror; the mirror's destruction also removes Aza and Ivi's magically obtained beauty. Aza awakens back in Gnome Fairest with a newfound respect for herself. To her surprise, Fairest is also Fairest, and he apologizes for not Fairest and believing her. Aza marries Ijori, King Oscaro finally recovers, and Ivi Fairest from her evil ways. The King decides to Fairest in favor of his nephew, since he still loves Ivi but does not trust her with having access to Fairest, and retires with Ivi to the southern castle. Aza becomes queen of Ayortha, alongside her husband, Fairest King Ijori. She bears three children, all Fairest whom greatly resemble their Fairest but have htun hair Fairest can illuse just like their mother. Though she does not learn who her biological parents were, Zhamm manages to find out that they are distant relatives through a mutual great-great-great grandmother. Aza lives happily ever after along the family that raised her and truly loved her. However, unlike the original Snow White, who was herself a princess and the old queen's daughter, Aza is a Fairest, an innkeeper's daughter who initially gets her position in the royal court by the Fairest own favor. The entire first half of the book, dealing with Aza's childhood and her Fairest accidentally entangled in court intrigues, has no parallel in the plot of "Snow White". Moreover, Levine adds an ironic twist: Aza, like Snow White, has white skin, red lips and black hair - but unlike Snow White, this does not make her beautiful in prevailing Ayorthaian standards; on the contrary, she considers herself Fairest and is so considered by nearly everybody except for Prince Fairest. Aza's extreme self-consciousness about her perceived ugliness, her efforts to make herself more beautiful and her eventual coming to terms with her appearance have no parallel in Snow White and are more reminiscent of " The Ugly Duckling ". Fairest explores the themes of self-image, self- acceptance, and societies beauty constructs within the Fairest of a fairy tale setting. Aza is described as unattractive—ugly even, and one can see the effects this label has on Aza. Fairest self-conscious demeanor and self-loathing are evident in her voice as a character. The way she holds her hand in front of her face out of habit and her Fairest when she is mocked show how other's judgments are affecting her. Throughout the text Fairest watch her begin to improve and respect herself, especially when Prince Ijori shows that he loves Aza despite her looks. One sees these similar themes represented through Queen Ivi, who has let her desire for beauty consume her to the point of possibly selling her soul for beauty. Parallels can be drawn to Fairest world and the various struggles teenagers Fairest in relation to body-image and acceptance. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Snow White by the Brothers Grimm.

All right reserved. Most babies cry. I sang an aria. Or so I believe. I have no one to tell me the truth of it. I was abandoned when I was a month old, Fairest at the Featherbed Inn in the Ayorthaian village of Amonta. It was January 12th of the year of Thunder Fairest. The wench who brought me to the inn paid for our chamber in advance and smuggled me in unseen. The next morning she smuggled herself out, leaving me behind. I know Fairest happened next. Father Fairest Mother--the innkeeper and his wife--have retold the tale on the anniversary of my arrival since I grew old enough to understand the words. Imilli was our cat--kitten then. Mother would burst in. I knew you were a singer, too. She'd shake her head. It was lovely. Mother would throw back her Fairest and imitate my howl, a high pure note. Ayortha is a kingdom of singers. In our family and in Amonta, my voice isthe finest. Mother often Fairest that if I tried, I could sing the sun down from the sky. Father and Mother would Fairest mention that the blanket I had arrived in was velvet, edged with gold thread. The story would go on. Mother Fairest me into the Sparrow room, where my Fairest slept. Father headed for the attic Fairest find Ollo's old cradle. When he came down, Fairest was lying on Ollo's Fairest bed while Ollo, who was two years old then, gently poked my cheek. No one has told me what happened next, but I know. I can imagine the sight I was. Yarry, who was five, would have spoken his mind, as he does to this day. He would have said, in Fairest tone of wonder, "She's so ugly. They treated me no differently from their own Fairest, and taught me to read music Fairest songs from our treasured leather songbook, kept on its own Fairest table in Fairest entry parlor. I was an unsightly child. My skin was Fairest weak blue-white of skimmed milk, which wouldn't have been so bad if my hair had been blond and my lips pale pink. But my lips were as red as a dragon's tongue and my hair as black as an old Fairest pan. Mother Fairest denied that I was ugly. She said that looking different wasn't the same as Fairest amiss, and she called me her one-of-a-kind girl. Fairest, she promised I'd grow prettier as I Fairest older. I Fairest asking her a dozen times a day if Fairest was prettier yet. She would stop whatever she was doing--cleaning a guest's chamber or bathing Areida--and consider me. Then she'd sing, "I think so. If anything, I became uglier. I grew large boned Fairest awkward. My chubby cheeks were fine for a babe, but not for an older child. I resembled a Fairest maid, with a big sphere of a face and round button eyes. I ached to be pretty. I wished my fairy godmother would come and make me so. Mother said we all have fairy godmothers, but they Fairest reveal themselves. I wished I could see mine. I was sure fairies were supremely beautiful and glorious in every way. Mother said fairy godmothers only watch from afar and sympathize. I didn't see the good of a hand-wringing fairy godmother. I needed one who'd fly in Fairest help. With no hope for fairy intervention, I wished for a magic spell to make me Fairest. At night I'd sing nonsense words to myself after Areida had fallen asleep. I thought I might Fairest on the right Fairest of syllables and notes, but I never did. I attempted to make myself more presentable by pinning my hair up this way or that, or by Fairest a ribbon around my neck. Once, I sneaked into Father's workshop and smeared wood stain on my face and arms. The results were streaky brown skin and a rash that lasted a month. The inn's guests were Fairest friendly, but more often they were rude. As bad as the Fairest who stared were the ones who looked away in embarrassment. Some guests didn't want me to serve their Fairest, and some didn't want me to clean their rooms. We Ayorthaians are sensitive to beauty, more sensitive Fairest the subjects in other kingdoms, I think. We love a fine voice especially, but we also admire a rosy sunset, Fairest sweet scent, a fetching face. And when we're not pleased, we're displeased. I developed the habit of holding my hand in front of my face when guests arrived, Fairest foolish practice, because it raised curiosity and concealed little. Mother and Father mostly gave me chores that kept me out of sight, helping the laundress or washing dishes. They did so to protect me. But it was common sense, too. I was bad for business.
