I got Cinderella and her prince's daughter. I had an idea though, but it would involve us working together a bit, at least on our characters' stories. At the end of Into the Woods, Cinderella's prince had left her and it seemed to me that it was strongly implied that she wound up living with the Baker after that and helping him out. I'm figuring that Cinderella had gotten pregnant by her husband before he left her, and she had her baby, her daughter, afterwards. So, my character would have grown up with Cinderella as her mother and the Baker as a father-figure, and the Baker's son would have been like a brother to her. Now, from what you've established, this wouldn't interfere with your character at all, except that when she reunites with her father, there's a bit of a step-family to deal with also. (Though, this should work out better than Cinderella's step-family. *LOL*) What do you think? I figure since our characters come from the same play, we could make sure that their stories interact with each other.

Also, how old do you think Laurel was when the events in the play first started out? (Obviously, if she remembers her parents, I would guess she'd at LEAST have had to have been 3, but I wasn't sure what you were figuring.) I'm trying to figure out how old Cindrella's daughter is, and I figure she was born maybe 7 or 8 months after the end of the play. (Because Cinderella could have been a month along or so and have not known it yet.) And if Laurel is about 18 or 19 (depending on how long "present day" is after she reunited with her father) then my character is probably in her early teens. So, for instance, if Laurel was born 3 or 4 years before the play started, then that would make her 4 or 5 years older than mine, (since a year takes place between the first and second acts of the play,) which would make mine *doing some mental math* 15 at the oldest if Laurel is 19 now and if she was born 3 years before the play started. And um, if she's 18 now still, and was closer to 4 when the play started out, then mine would be more like 13. (Sorry! I get obsessed with details sometimes, but I do enjoy working with other people to meld different characters' stories together. I hope I'm not giving you a headache.)
