Trade of Appearances

Explore a plot where the ugly witch and the beautiful princess swap their appearances.

This writing prompt deviates from the typical interpretation of beauty and ugliness in fairy tales. Consider what would happen if the witch, usually deemed as ugly, turns beautiful and vice versa for the princess. How would people’s attitudes change toward them? Does this swap alter their personal characterization or the path of their destiny? This twist could implant a profound message about beauty’s superficiality and its impact on life decisions.
