Description  's Model Challenge

Ok, technically this isn't an intro since I did all the other rounds before getting to this. However here we go.

my model is #28 Anastasia and the Baker's Daughter (The Baker that Anastasia falls in love with in Cinderella II)   

Wilhelmina Becker is the daughter of Anastasia Becker née Tremaine and Wilhelm Becker.  She goes by the name of Mina most of the time.

I decided to name her father Wilhelm Becker (Wilhelm would have been a popular boys name around that time period and Becker is a German surname that means baker). I have picked her name to be Wilhelmina Becker, as I doubt that she would have her mother's maiden name of Tremaine. And to have her named after her father which I really could see Anastasia dong to thumb her nose at her mother. I have the location somewhere along the French-German border, but with research I discovered that Tremaine is a Cornish surname. So she and her daughters came to the area the the movie takes place from the English countryside. I have done a lot of research on where everything took place and while the Cinderellla/Disney Wiki puts Cinderella as French, well with the state of France circa 1850-1880's around the time period the movie took place in. Therefore the town they lived in needed to be on the French-German border and Prince Charming must be a prince in the German Reich(Empire) which ruled from 1871-1918. (originally I had this info on the animal sidekick round since I did that first however I moved it here as it fits better on her information page.)

I got an idea from watching bits of Cinderella III, (since I have yet to see the whole movie.) about Anastasia after the events of that film. She was able to use the Fairy Godmothers wand and have the sparks that come out of it white the whole time. Same as the Fairy Godmothers. However when her sister or mother used the wand the sparks were green. I got the idea that maybe the Fairy Godmother took Anastasia under her wing. The King himself does come to care Anastasia, even letting her keep the shell he gave her, and welcomes her into the royal family. She lives there with her step-sister Cinderella. My idea was that maybe Anastasia starts learning magic to protect her sister Cinderella from any magical danger, so something like the events in that movie can be defended against. So Anastasia becomes a court lady and is was in training to become court mage to be able to protect Cinderella. 

Wilhelm was known for his baked good. In fact in their town he was the go to person for the most delicious bread, rolls, and croissants. He was hired by the King and came to stay in the castle, while still managing his shop in town with help from some of his family and people he has hired. (I took this idea and ran with it cause he had to have been successful enough to get such a nice suit in the ballroom scene in Cinderella II) So now he is the head royal baker working just under the head chef. It was shortly after he was appointed the role of head baker and Anastasia finishing the latest stage of her training that they got married.

A few years later Anastasia got pregnant however she miscarried that child. Someone had tried to poison Cinderella to cause her to miscarry. And Anastasia had eaten the item that the poison was in first and the symptoms showed rather quickly. The person that had been the master mind behind the poisoning had been none other then the former Lady Tremaine. Once she was finally apprehended she informed Anastasia that it was of no concern of hers that her baby was dead instead of Cinderella's. As far as Madonna Tremaine (found her name by much much hunting, and landing on the Disney Villains wiki.) was concerned her daughter was dead to her the moment that she sided with Cinderella over her. Madonna Tremaine was executed for her crimes (or so they thought), as the King was furious with the attack on the two girls that he has come to see as daughters and the loss of a grandchild. Drizella while not involved with most of the plans and but still having knowledge of it was banished from the kingdom. All other parties involved were either imprisoned or banished as well.

Cinderella gave birth to a baby girl. However she was upset that her baby came at the cost of her niece or nephew. Cinderella and Anastasia became even closer after the events that took place. And they regard each other as true sisters in heart. And when Anastasia finally gave birth to a baby girl, the birth was celebrated almost as much as the birth of the royal princess. As by that time Anastasia had from all her work and effort to make up for how she had been in the past won the hearts of the kingdom and the court. 

Wilhelmina is just shy of her sixteenth birthday. She prefers to go by the name of Mina. Her favorite color is orange. And her favorite food is the chocolate croissants her father makes. She wants to be a painter when she grows up. She loves her cousins and her younger siblings. She has three younger brothers and a younger sister. She knows nothing of her grandmother or of her Aunt Drizella. However she does know a lot of her step-grandfather and of her birth grandfather from her mothers side. As well as her fathers parents and all her aunts and uncles from his side of the family. Also having both her Aunt Cinderella and Uncle Charming, as well as the King who looks on her and her siblings as grandchildren and is thrilled as how many young ones he has to dote on. 

I wanted to put in this picture was she looks like in both in her appearance as member of the royal family and in a more modern look that fits with her personality. Her black jeans in the modern look are modeled after a friend of mines jeans in high school. She was an artist as well, and had this one pair of jeans that were caked in paint, and super colorful. I loved them, but I do wonder how comfortable they were to wear and how she cleaned them when I was thinking of them years later. I made both Anastasia and Wilhelm have their look from the second movie. As I love this outfit on Anastasia and it would look weird to put her in that outfit and have Wilhelm in his fancy suit. So he gets to wear his normal clothes. And I have them each holding half of the flower heart-shaped garland from that movie. They get one together each year on the anniversary of the day they met. 

wow most of this is more about her parents then her but the background info helps I think.

I must say that's quite the backstory, I could see Princess-Rosella's model, Grace being cousins with Mina. Picture that! Both cousins loving each other as friends!

Wow! This is amazing! I love all the outfits and the backstory is so detailed, I love it! It's really interesting to see your theories and your characters story!

Yay! Thank you!

Coolies! The outfits were all fun to make. I loved remaking Anastasia's dress cause that one is her fave of mine. Wilhelm's outfit was a lot easier ever with adding in the hat and making his apron and shirt look right. Both of Mina's outfit were just all around fun. The orange dress is more with the style of the times but still you can see her charm and style shine through. And the modern outfit was really me just playing around and wanting to see if I could actually use all the color choices and still have the outfit coming out looking good.    




Yeah the backstory is quite a bit detailed.   Lol, my littler writer heart kinda broke through the block that it is normally under and managed to knock this out. I'm glad you like it though.   I felt evil a few times  but I think all writers have times where they like to be evil to the character's they are writing about.  I wanted Anastasia to have a mostly good life cause she does get redeemed in the second movie and also again in the third movie.

I really love all the research you put into her backstory, and you really worked everything together nicely. And I like both of her outfits.

Yay, thank you! I'm glad you like both outfits. Lol, the paints splatter pants I had done first and then I was like ummmm, while these are cool it doesn't fit with the time period. And I had already started on the backstory and her parents. So I made Mina an outfit that fit with her parents look and their time period better. Orange is a color that has always been near and dear to me, but it wasn't tell I was grown and was able to but my own clothes that I was able to buy things that were mostly orange. My mom's not to fond of the color on its own.

The setting of Cinderella is always something that stuck me as weird that they would place it in France during such a time. But then when you think of when the movie came out, a movie that takes place in Germany would not be received well, but since it's in France it's ok. Lol, I wondered after I was done in I had put maybe to much thought in to her backstory. However I like how I did it and it tells the story and idea that I have for her. And gives reason for the daughter of a disgraced former noble and a while successful baker to have such nice clothes and opportunity to do what her heart desires.

Lol, I wrote most of the story using the sticky notes on my computer just in case the window that I had open for the submisson crashed and I lost everything I had typed again. It's happen with other dolls before.

I understand how that goes, with wanting to make the parents' story make sense in order for their child to fit right, at least in your head. *L* I had to do a bit of that with mine (I got Wendy and Peter Pan's daughter, so I had to do some creative story-altering to figure out just how THAT happened.)  
And yeah, the story of Cinderella was originally German, but it makes sense why at the time, Disney placed it in France instead. 

I usually write up my more involved posts in notepad for the same reason. I hate it when things crash and I'm in the middle of something. It's even worse when it happens when you're making a doll because you can't really save that as you go. (Well, you COULD so you could have something to refer back to, but I rarely find that helps much after I start adding drag-and-drop stuff. Because the creative process that involves creating is so much different for me than copying.)

Thank you! 

Yeah she let me know her fave color right away while I was making the gemstone dress for round 4. So I was ready for the clothes here. I made The modern outfit first then thought about it and decided to make her parents. Then my brain went "hey, that outfit doesn't really match up with her parents or the time period as well. So I made the orange dress. 

I'm glad that people like the back story. That and I was able to maybe kill off the former Lady Madonna Tremaine I was shocked when I saw that her name was Madonna. I added the maybe cause in several verses she is alive and kicking so maybe some evil forces took her and left a body double before she was killed. 

I was afraid that people might not like it cause I gave Anastasia magic. I felt bad cause I killed her baby off, but I wanted her to really get the extra push from the loss and it brought her and Cinderella that much closer. My thought for their dads is that they were business partner and that's how Cinderella's dad knew a widowed English woman well enough to marry her and bring her to France to live with him and his young daughter. (just had that idea click in my head)

You're welcome!
Wow, you got some really neat headcanons there! I haven't seen much of the third movie (nor have I seen what I have in quite a while), but your explanations for Anastasia's magic use make as much sense as any headcanon I've seen so I honestly don't mind it; plus, it gives her a purpose for being close to Cinderella and sets up a lot of the backstory!

Aaw Poor Anastasia

But everything works out for her and they do end up having a lovely daughter in the end so all is well.

The picture looks great! And I love Mina's jeans!

Thank you!

I was afraid that people might not like it cause I gave Anastasia magic. But she wanted to be Cinderella's shield and to make up for how she treated Cinderella for all those years. Cinderella found out Anastasia reasoning and made her promise that she would't throw herself in danger recklessly because Anastasia still felt like she needed to pay penance for their past. I felt bad cause I killed her baby off, but I wanted her to really get the extra push from the loss and it brought her and Cinderella that much closer. Also wanted to have a reason that Mina didn't know her grandmother or her Aunt Drizella. My thought for Cinderella and Anastasia's dads is that they were business partner and that's how Cinderella's dad knew a widowed English woman well enough to marry her and bring her to France to live with him and his young daughter. (just had that idea click in my head and I shared it with Rai when I was responding to her comment)

Thanks! The jeans where super fun to make, cause there is no way to mess up making them, I would just randomly grab a color and place a dot. The top my not go wonderfully with the jeans but she is an artist and I've seen artist paint in some strange and sometimes very clashing outfits before.

Well it was a bit.....surprising that you gave he magic. But I like it, personally. it adds to Anastasia's character. And I love how you had her and Cinderella grow closer and have her keep a close relationship with the king. ^^


I think the top looks okay with the jeans. Heck i'd wear that outfit myself.

Thank you! I really tried pretty hard to make it look as close to her movie dress as possible. That really is my fave look for Anastasia. Lol, my sister said that Anastasia looked like Ariel here.

I think figuring out Mina's backstory took less time then the one outfits I made. After making that though I want to actually watch Cinderella III in full and not just bits and pieces.

u welcome, yeha mine too,even tho i like her yellow dress when she is dancing with the baker yeha i was also thinking that when i saw her,she kinda looks like ariel bc of her bangs and hair color .  ahhaha yeha i have watched all 3 movies a long time ago xD wait i think i havent watched the third one

liz-blizz In reply to adrianaTheGirlOnFire [2016-08-14 23:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I like the yellow dress and it does look great on her, but I already had tried to make that dress and it turned into the fluffy monster dress that is dress I submitted based off of Lucifer for round 5. Lol, the maker is just so pretty that it is hard to get her looks right. And since I was putting her in the pretty purple dress I needed her hair down and out of the ringlets. 

I just kept putting off watching the third movie. It wasn't until I started this challenge and looking into Cinderella and Anastasia that the need to see the movie became more pressing.
