Day Sixteen

The characters in my folktale are: King Young Jae, Princess Soo Young, Prince Woo Young, Ma nyeo (witch), Head Maid Soo Jin, and Butler Min Ho. However, in my story, there will also be a chef, but he does not have a speaking role. I haven't mentioned much about the Head Maid and Butler, but they will be in charge of taking care of the rest of the other workers in the Palace. Therefore, they are mainly the the supervisors of the other servants and house keeps.

King Young Jae: the King always has a strong and calm voice while talking to others, but when he is talking to his daughter, his voice becomes soft and cheerful. Because he is busy most of the time, he doesn't have much time with his daughter, therefore he always feel apologetic.

Princess Soo Young: the Princess has a sweet and lovely voice that often attracts people to her, along with her beautiful looks. However, when she is speaking/criticizing the frog, her voice becomes harsh and unlikeable. She often sings to herself when she is lonely, therefore, her voice is gift.

Prince Woo Young: the Prince has a charming and gentle voice that makes others listen to him. Even as a frog, he is still able to have that voice. Although the Princess often uses a harsh tone at him, he never changes the gentleness of his voice.

Ma nyeo: the witch has an irritating and screechy voice that often frightens and annoy everyone who hears her. She doesn't appear as a witch, because it will make her obvious among others, therefore she is usually in disguise.

Butler Min Ho: although he is a butler, he is not old like most butlers. He is a young butler who is often clumsy, but yet a good and loyal butler. He sometimes stumble and stutter while talking because he isn't sure what to say when the King or Princess asks him a question.

Princess Soo Young: Appa! how is the weather today?
King Young Jae: The weather is quite nice and sunny today.
Princess Soo Young: Really? then can i go out and play with my golden ball?
King Young Jae: neh. (yes)
Princess Soo Young: Komawoyo! (informal thank you)
King Young Jae: Just be back before dawn.
Princess Soo Young: neh neh.
King Young Jae: Be careful while playing!
