Ever After High is a fun fashion doll series from Mattel. It started in July 2013. This series is like a friend to the Monster High dolls. But instead of monsters, the characters in Ever After High are based on famous fairy tales and fantasy stories.

Just like Monster High, the dolls and stories can be a bit different depending on the country and language. Ever After High has grown into a popular web series, a movie, and several book series.

Welcome to Ever After High!

Ever After High is a special boarding school in the Fairy Tale World. It's where the teenage children of famous fairy tale characters go to learn. The main idea is that these students are supposed to follow in their parents' footsteps. They are meant to live out the same stories.

Two main characters are Raven Queen and Apple White. Raven is the daughter of the Evil Queen. She doesn't want to be evil. Apple White is Snow White's daughter. She wants her "happily ever after" to come true.

Raven wants to choose her own path. She believes everyone should be free to create their own destiny. But Apple thinks Raven must become the next Evil Queen. This is so everyone else's stories can happen.

The students at Ever After High are split into two groups:

• The Royals are students who want to follow their fairy tale destinies. They are like Apple White.
• The Rebels are students who want to create their own destinies. They are like Raven Queen.

Many stories show the students' everyday lives as teens. But there's a big secret: the school's headmaster says if students don't follow their destinies, their stories might disappear forever!
