No Rest for the Wicked is a fantasy webcomic by Andrea L. Peterson. The characters are loosely based on characters from traditional fairy tales, including those by Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and the Brothers Grimm. The plot revolves around a princess who has been an insomniac since the disappearance of the moon and her journey to restore the moon to the sky. As of August 2007 it is on the fourth chapter, with a total of 200 pages thus far. The story has a generally elegiac mood, an undercurrent of sadness leavened with humor throughout. No Rest for the Wicked is now also available in Italian, German, and Japanese.
Основной
Ноябрь — чрезмерно чувствительная принцесса, младшая из трех сестер, страдающая аллергией на горох и легко получающая синяки (однажды она получила синяк от упавшего с дерева листа). Ноябрь не может спать с тех пор, как исчезла Луна, и отправилась на поиски места, где она погребена, надеясь, что восстановление Луны решит ее проблему со сном. Она проклята: всякий раз, когда она произносит слово «альтруистичный», изо рта у нее выпрыгивает лягушка или жаба. Она обручена с Мальчиком, но сбежала из дома незадолго до свадьбы. Она немного предвзята в пользу знати и увлекается атласами (которые всегда называются «Мир») и особенно их последней страницей («Конец Света», что является отсылкой к «Революционной Девушке Утене»), куда, по ее мнению, ей, возможно, придется отправиться в конце концов. Чувствительность Ноябрь проявляется во многом. Она добра и сочувствует людям, даже грубым (Зверь) или лишенным самосожаления (Клэр). Она хорошо «читает» людей, как, например, когда убедила Перро присоединиться к ней. Более мистически она чувствует Смерть в доме Ред и интуитивно понимает, что Клэр встретила Луну. Наконец, она чувствительна к благородной крови (и ее отсутствию) в других людях и даже может определить, что Клэр была королевой по браку. Из-за своей доброты и уверенности в своей интуиции она часто действует опрометчиво, не заботясь о собственной безопасности. Ноябрь можно считать «сердцем» группы и (неофициальным) лидером. У Ноябрь самая обширная известная семья среди главных героев. Она не только обручена с Мальчиком, но также имеет двух старших сестер (Август и Сентябрь по старшинству), мать и отца (Король Январь), все они названы в честь месяцев года. Хотя ее отношения с Перро и Ред часто хорошие, они подвержены колебаниям; недавно между Ноябрь и Ред возникла трещина из-за безжалостных действий Ред по сожжению Ведьмы.
NovemberAn oversensitive princess, youngest of three sisters, who is allergic to peas and bruises very easily (having once received one from a leaf falling from a tree). November has been unable to sleep since the Moon disappeared, and has set out on a quest to find where the Moon lies buried in hopes that restoring the Moon will solve her sleeping problem. She has been cursed so whenever she utters the word "altruistic" a frog or toad comes out of her mouth. She is affianced to The Boy, but ran away from home prior to their wedding. She is slightly biased in favor of nobility, and is drawn to atlases (which are always titled "The World") and especially their last page (the End of the World, which is an allusion to Revolutionary Girl Utena), to where she believes she may eventually have to travel. November's sensitivity takes many forms. She is soft hearted and empathizes with people, even those that are brutish (Beast) or feel no self pity (Clare). She "reads" other people well, as when she persuaded Perrault to join her. More mystically, she senses Death in Red's house and intuits that Clare has met the Moon. Finally, she is sensitive to noble blood (and its absence) in other people and can even detect that Clare was a queen by marriage. Because of her soft hearted nature and assurance in her intuition, she often acts recklessly, with little consideration for her personal safety. November can be thought of as the "heart" of the group, and is the (unofficial) leader of the party. November has the most extensive known family of all the main characters. Not only is she affianced to The Boy, she is also known to have two older sisters (August and September in order of age), a mother, and a father (King January), all named after months of the year. While her relationship with Perrault and Red is often good, it goes through fluctuations; most recently, there seems to be a rift between November and Red over Red's ruthless actions in burning the Witch. Perrault A cunning cat who can take on a "person ish" form and who has elevated his master's position in life from peasant to Marquis. While he lives the life of a gentleman at leisure, he has not lost his taste for hunting small animals. Current kill count: numerous mice, birds, and frogs. Before he gave himself the name Perrault, he was known simply as Puss. He's vain and selfish for the simple reason that he's a cat. Perrault is amusing himself by keeping Princess November company in her travels, but expects to be able to return home whenever he gets bored, thanks to a magic ring that he stole from Beast. (Whether the ring actually has that power or some other is not yet known.) It is hinted that Perrault has another reason for joining November, but it has not yet been explained. Perrault is clever, diplomatic and gifted at talking, preferring to use words to get what he wants, rather than force; he is also gifted at planning and strategy, and compensates somewhat for November's rashness. Perrault can sense ("smell") magic nearby, which he's used multiple times to detect trouble. Perrault delights in applying his many talents to solving challenging problems with minimal effort, often conning or tricking others into doing what he wants. He often finds himself on the wrong end of Red's axe, because she hates "clever beasts", and is quick to assume that he has harmed or offended November in some way. Perrault can be considered the "brains" of the group, often offering the others advice on how to deal with various situations (such as telling November that witches are vulnerable to fire during the battle with the Witch), though he almost never directly helps himself (he told November about it while he was on the roof, out of harm's way.) For family, Perrault doesn't like other people's children and has "perhaps two dozen" children of his own which he abandoned. He believes that a true cat will figure out to look after himself, much like he himself did. Many people believe Perrault to be a catperson. However, on the forums, the author has stated that he is simply a cat. His appearance is that of a human. "Red" A girl in a tattered red cloak who lives deep in the woods by herself. After a traumatic encounter with a certain wolf, Red has made it her business to kill every single flesh eating beast she comes across, especially the ones that talk. She carries a handwoven basket and an axe. While the comic's art is mostly grayscale, "Red"'s cape is always shown in color, similar to Mary in Frank Miller's Sin City. Red is fond of flowers; this is mismatched with her fondness for violence and formidable combat skills. Unlike Perrault, who utilizes his intellect and various abilities to solve problems, Red talks very little and prefers to solve problems with her axe or sheer brute force. Despite having the appearance of a young woman, Red has incredible physical strength: she has thrown Beast out of his own castle and held her own against the Witch, meaning she is more than a match for supernatural monstrosities in her way. Her axe seems nigh unbreakable, even tearing down metal castle hinges in a few blows. She can be considered the "brawn" of the group. Having lived so long in isolation, Red is not very social with other people and is pitiless towards monsters; nevertheless, she seems to feel real affection for November and is very protective of her. Red states that she has died before, but in what sense is unclear. How Red came to live in the woods is also unknown. She also seems to take the Witch's cannibalizing of children extremely personally. Red is the only main character who has not once mentioned her family. Since she is based on Little Red Riding Hood, however, it was confirmed during the fourth chapter that Red once had a grandmother, who may be the "second person" she references when talking about who died in the bed in her cabin. This was revealed during a flashback, depicting a younger Red visiting her grandmother, only to encounter an individual who is (presumably) the wolf from the original fairy tale. It is possible that Red's cabin is, in fact, her grandmother's cabin, and that she ended up in the woods fighting the monsters that took away her grandmother (Red's cabin in the woods is filled with wolf pelts). Fighting the Witch, she was temporarily absorbed into the witch's stomach. However, when November struck the Witch with a hot poker, Red was able to free herself, and after this, she shoved the Witch into her own oven, burning her alive. This act, which November regarded as horrendously cruel, may have created a rift between the two (though Perrault seems to ignore it, perhaps not caring about the relationship between two "humans").
Перро — хитрый кот, способный принимать «почти человеческую» форму и возвысивший положение своего хозяина от крестьянина до маркиза. Он ведет жизнь беззаботного джентльмена, но не утратил вкуса к охоте на мелких животных. Текущее количество убитых: многочисленные мыши, птицы и лягушки. До того, как он дал себе имя Перро, он был известен просто как Кот. Он тщеславен и эгоистичен просто потому, что он кот. Перро развлекается, сопровождая принцессу Ноябрь в ее путешествиях, но ожидает вернуться домой, когда ему станет скучно, благодаря волшебному кольцу, которое он украл у Зверя. (Неизвестно, обладает ли кольцо этой силой или какой-то другой.) Есть намеки на то, что у Перро есть еще одна причина присоединиться к Ноябрь, но она пока не объяснена. Перро умен, дипломатичен и красноречив, предпочитает использовать слова, чтобы получить желаемое, а не силу; он также талантлив в планировании и стратегии и в некоторой степени компенсирует опрометчивость Ноябрь. Перро может чувствовать (улавливать запах) магию поблизости, что он неоднократно использовал для обнаружения опасности. Перро с удовольствием применяет свои многочисленные таланты для решения сложных проблем с минимальными усилиями, часто обманывая или подстрекая других делать то, что он хочет. Он часто оказывается под ударом топора Ред, потому что она ненавидит «умных зверей» и быстро предполагает, что он навредил или оскорбил Ноябрь. Перро можно считать «мозгом» группы, часто давая другим советы о том, как справиться с различными ситуациями (например, говоря Ноябрь, что ведьмы уязвимы для огня во время битвы с Ведьмой), хотя он почти никогда не помогает себе напрямую (он сказал Ноябрь об этом, находясь на крыше, в безопасности). Что касается семьи, Перро не любит чужих детей и имеет «возможно, около двух десятков» собственных детей, которых он бросил. Он верит, что настоящий кот сам позаботится о себе, как это сделал он сам. Многие считают Перро кошачьим человеком. Однако на форумах автор заявил, что он просто кот. Его внешность человеческая.

«Красная» — девушка в рваном красном плаще, живущая в глухом лесу одна. После травмирующей встречи с волком Красная решила убить каждого плотоядного зверя, которого встретит, особенно тех, кто умеет говорить. Она носит с собой плетеную корзину и топор. Хотя рисунок комикса в основном выполнен в оттенках серого, плащ Красной всегда изображен в цвете, как у Мэри в «Городе Грехов» Фрэнка Миллера. Красная любит цветы, что контрастирует с ее любовью к насилию и выдающимися боевыми навыками. В отличие от Перро, который использует свой интеллект и различные способности для решения проблем, Красная мало говорит и предпочитает решать проблемы своим топором или грубой силой. Несмотря на то, что выглядит как молодая женщина, Красная обладает невероятной физической силой: она выбросила Зверя из его собственного замка и смогла противостоять Ведьме, что означает, что она более чем способна справиться со сверхъестественными чудовищами, которые встают у нее на пути. Ее топор кажется практически неразрушимым, легко срывая металлические петли замка всего за несколько ударов. Ее можно считать «мускулами» группы. Проведя так много времени в изоляции, Красная не очень общительна с другими людьми и беспощадна к монстрам; тем не менее, она, кажется, испытывает искреннюю привязанность к Ноябрь и очень ее защищает. Красная утверждает, что уже умирала, но в каком смысле — неясно. Как Красная оказалась в лесу, также неизвестно. Она также, кажется, очень болезненно переживает каннибализм Ведьмы по отношению к детям. Красная — единственный главный герой, который ни разу не упоминал свою семью. Однако, поскольку она основана на Красной Шапочке, во время четвертой главы было подтверждено, что у Красной когда-то была бабушка, которая, возможно, является «вторым человеком», о котором она упоминает, когда говорит о том, кто умер в ее кровати в ее хижине. Это было раскрыто во время флэшбэка, изображающего юную Красную, посещающую свою бабушку, только чтобы столкнуться с человеком, который, предположительно, является волком из оригинальной сказки. Возможно, хижина Красной — это, на самом деле, хижина ее бабушки, и она оказалась в лесу, сражаясь с монстрами, которые отняли ее бабушку (хижина Красной в лесу заполнена волчьими шкурами). Во время битвы с Ведьмой она была временно поглощена ее желудком. Однако, когда Ноябрь ударила Ведьму раскаленным кочергой, Красная смогла освободиться, а затем столкнула Ведьму в ее собственную печь, сожгив ее заживо. Этот поступок, который Ноябрь сочла ужасно жестоким, мог привести к разрыву между ними (хотя Перро, кажется, не обращает на это внимания, возможно, не заботясь об отношениях между двумя «людьми»).
NovemberAn oversensitive princess, youngest of three sisters, who is allergic to peas and bruises very easily (having once received one from a leaf falling from a tree). November has been unable to sleep since the Moon disappeared, and has set out on a quest to find where the Moon lies buried in hopes that restoring the Moon will solve her sleeping problem.

Вторичный
Пьер Маркиз де Карабас, Пьер столь же разумен, как и обычный лемминг, и лишь благодаря влиянию Перро он может позволить себе носить шелк и хорошие сапоги. Пьер женат на Колетт и нуждается в том, чтобы все аспекты его жизни контролировала его кошка, которую он называет "Кот". До этого он был крестьянином. Колетт, жена Пьера, достойная принцесса, испытывающая неприязнь к кошкам, грызунам и всему, что не должно находиться во дворце. Легко поддаваясь очарованию золота и красивой внешности, она принимает Ноябрь за простолюдина, а мужа – за дворянина. Мальчик – крестьянин, никогда не знавший страха и невинно любопытный к нему. Он избавляет королевство от всех чудовищ и монстров и в процессе находит сокровищницу, передает часть ее королю Январю (отцу Ноября) и в награду выбирает Ноябрь (младшую дочь) в качестве своей невесты. В последний раз его видели бродящим по сельской местности с мешком золота в поисках своей невесты и пытающимся понять, что такое страх. Зверь – огромная груда меха и зубов, склонный говорить во весь голос, даже в библиотеке. Зверь – некий антисоциальный ботаник-садовод, поскольку у него есть великолепный розовый сад и кольцо, которым он предлагает Красавице каждый день на завтрак, обед или ужин, или всякий раз, когда он ее видит. Ему постоянно грозит пена у рта. Он высмеивается Ред, которая затем выбрасывает его из окна и чуть не убивает. Зверь, возможно, помолвлен с Красавицей, которая приняла его падение из окна за попытку самоубийства из-за отчаяния от ее "долгого" отсутствия в течение десяти дней. Красавица – молодая леди в особняке Зверя, которая смирилась с тем, что ей предлагают выйти замуж за него на завтрак, обед или ужин каждый день. В последний раз ее видели, плачущей, воссоединяющейся со Зверем после визита к своей семье. Красавица считает Зверя чувствительным существом и "очень о нем заботится, [но] кажется не решается выйти за него замуж".
Pierre The Marquis de Carabas, Pierre is about as intelligent as the average lemming, and it is only through Perrault's influence that he can wear silk and nice boots. Pierre is married to Colette and needs every aspect of his life to be overseen by his cat, whom he calls "Puss". Before this, he was a peasant. Colette Pierre's wife, a dignified princess with a distaste for cats, rodents, and anything that does not belong in a palace. Easily fooled by gold and good looks, she mistakes November for a commoner and her husband for a nobleman. The Boy A peasant boy who has never felt fear and is innocently curious about it. He rids the kingdom of all the fiends and monsters and in the process finds a trove of treasure, hands a share of it to King January (November's father), and as reward chose November (the youngest daughter) as his bride. Last seen wandering the countryside with a bag of gold looking for his fiancée and attempting to learn what fear is. Beast A hulking mass of fur and teeth with a penchant for speaking at the top of his voice, even in a library. Beast is something of an anti social botanist stalker, as he has a magnificent rose garden and a ring which he uses to propose to Beauty every day at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or whenever he happens to see her. He always seems close to foaming at the mouth. He is mocked by Red, who then throws him out of a window and nearly kills him. Beast may now be affianced to Beauty, who mistook his fall from the window as an attempted suicide over despair at her "long" absence of ten days. Beauty The young lady in Beast's mansion who puts up with being proposed to breakfast, lunch, or dinner of every day. Last seen tearfully reuniting with the Beast after a visit with her family. Beauty regards Beast as a sensitive creature, and "cares about him very much, [but] seems reluctant to commit to marrying him"
Клэр – молодая женщина с перевязанными запястьями вместо рук. Ее впервые заметили после того, как ее приговорили к сожжению на костре как ведьму за кражу детей из города (Ведьма, ниже, на самом деле была виновна). Воспоминания показывают, что в детстве Клэр была продана дьяволу ее родителями, которые отрезали ей руки по его просьбе (слезы Клэр на руках сдерживали дьявола, по крайней мере, в оригинальной сказке). В ту ночь Клэр посетила Луна (это была новолуние), которая рассказала ей секрет, который, возможно, помешал дьяволу забрать ее. После этого Клэр решила идти своим путем. В конце концов, находясь в лесу, она встретила короля и стала королевой – Ноябрь предчувствовала это заранее – и в какой-то момент ей сделали механические руки из серебра. Однако с тех пор Клэр стала бродягой, возможно, ищет своего ребенка – когда Ноябрь говорила о том, как ужасно обращались с Клэр ее родители, Клэр ответила: "Со мной то же самое". История этих слов неизвестна. Ходят слухи среди поклонников, что ее ребенок умер (она бродила возле могилы, когда ее нашли крестьяне), но на данный момент неизвестно, что она имела в виду. Теперь она решила путешествовать с Ноябрь, чтобы показать ей, где, как ей сказали, находятся "гроб, свеча и крест". До того, как ее имя было опубликовано в разделе фан-арта, фанаты знали ее как Девушку без рук. Ведьма – старая женщина, живущая в лесу возле города. Сначала она кажется бредовой, больной, но трагической фигурой. Когда она была моложе, ее муж бросил ее и их двоих детей, Гензеля и Гретель; затем она переехала в лес, чтобы избежать злобных слухов в городе. Когда Гензель заболел и, возможно, умер, она сошла с ума и решила, что принесла детей в враждебный мир и сможет сохранить их безопасность, только вернув их обратно – внутрь себя. Она съела их обоих в пирогах. С тех пор она верит, что все, кого она встречает, – это Гензель или Гретель, вырвавшиеся из нее. Ужасно, но эти инциденты совпали с голодом в соседней деревне; жители деревни в отчаянии стали бросать своих детей в лес, надеясь, что они каким-то образом выживут в дикой природе. Ведьма нашла этих детей, взяла их к себе и съела. Ее дом сделан из пряничного теста, которое Перро определяет как заколдованное (кем, неизвестно, но, вероятно, Ведьмой), и он служит приманкой для голодных детей. Она встречается с группой, когда они отправляются доказать невиновность Клэр. Прибыв первой, Ноябрь видит ее, но не знает ее истории; Ведьма начинает монолог о своей жизни, и правда раскрывается Ноябрь (которая чуть не заболевает, услышав это). Попытавшись съесть Ноябрь, на нее нападает Ред. При нападении она раскрывает себя как нечеловеческое существо, достойное своих деяний – она способна выдерживать огромные раны и функционировать, переносить обезглавливание и даже командовать частями своего тела, отрубленными топором Ред (они парят в комнате и нападают). Ее любимым оружием, кажется, является мясной нож. Каждый раз, когда она серьезно ранена, из ее тела появляются призрачные руки детей; они хватают врагов (например, Ред), втаскивая их внутрь тела Ведьмы, и также служат для исцеления Ведьмы, прикрепляя обратно разрушенные части тела. По-видимому, враги, "поглощенные" таким образом, остаются живыми, хотя на какой срок – неизвестно; Ред смогла просуществовать несколько минут в поглощении, но это может быть связано с ее невероятной силой. Ред, нанося урон Ведьме, не смогла навредить ей навсегда; после того, как Ред была поглощена руками детей, выходящими из живота Ведьмы, Перро сумел передать инструкции встревоженной Ноябрь, притворившись "Гензелем", находясь на крыше пряничного домика. Уловив намек, Ноябрь использовала кочергу, чтобы ударить Ведьму раскаленной кочергой из камина (огонь – это то, что Перро упомянул как "предпочтительное при обращении с вашим видом", то есть с ведьмами – отсылка к сожжению на костре). Рана, нанесенная этим ударом, была достаточной, чтобы Ред освободилась, прорубив себе путь из живота ведьмы и неловко приземлившись на пол хижины; избив ведьму кочергой, Ред обездвижила ее достаточно, чтобы бросить в печь. Она заперла ведьму внутри, чтобы та умерла с криками. Ведьма, благодаря своей истории и смерти, очевидно, является Ведьмой из сказки "Гензель и Гретель". Принц Рикардо – чрезмерно щепетильный принц, сын короля Рикардо. Лучше известен как "Дик Щепетильный". Представлен во втором Интерлюде, "Скитающийся мечник". Он достиг башни Спящей красавицы, казалось бы, невыполнимой задачи. Однако его чрезмерная щепетильность заставила его отвергнуть ее после того, как он узнал, что она храпит. Есть намеки на то, что он странствует по миру в поисках "идеальной" принцессы. Таким образом, он может быть принцем из "Принцессы и горошины", который также искал такую невесту, прежде чем вернуться в свой замок. Луна принимает облик прекрасной дамы, несущей фонарь. Ее задача – нести свой фонарь по небу все дни, кроме одного в месяц; в день новолуния она обычно отдыхает. В начале истории Луны не хватает уже больше года, в течение которого Ноябрь не спит.
Clare A young woman with bandaged wrists where her hands ought to be. She was first seen after being sentenced to be burned at the stake as a witch for allegedly stealing a town's children (the Witch, below, was actually responsible). Flashbacks reveal that, as a girl, Clare was sold to the devil by her parents, who cut off her hands at his request (Clare's tears on her hands had kept the devil at bay, at least in the original fairy tale). Clare was visited that night by the Moon (it was a new moon), who told her a secret that may have prevented the devil from taking her. After this, Clare set out on her own. Eventually, while in the woods, she met a king and became a queen — November intuited this beforehand — and at some point had mechanical hands crafted for her, made out of silver. Since then, however, Clare has become vagrant, possibly looking for her child — when November talks of how horribly Clare's parents treated her, Clare responded with "I'm exactly the same." The story behind those words is unknown. A rumor going about among fans is that her child is deceased (she was lurking around a grave when the villagers found her) but it is otherwise unknown at this point what she meant. She has now decided to travel with November for the purpose of showing her where the "coffin, candle, and cross" she was told of have been located. Before her name was released in the fan art section, she was known to fans as The Girl With No Hands. The Witch An old woman living out in the woods near a town. She initially comes across as delusional, a sick yet tragic figure. When she was younger, her husband left her and their two children, Hansel and Gretel; she then moved to the forest to escape the malicious rumors in town. When Hansel fell sick and possibly died, she went insane and decided that she'd brought children into a hostile world and could only keep them safe by taking them back — into herself. She cannibalized both in pies. She since took to believing that everyone she meets is either Hansel or Gretel, gotten "out" of her. Horrifically, these incidents coincided with starvation in a nearby village; villagers began abandoning their children into the forest in desperation, hoping they'd somehow make it in the outside world. The Witch found these children, took them in, and ate them. Her house is made of gingerbread which Perrault identifies as enchanted (by whom is unknown, but presumably the Witch), and it works as a lure to the hungry children. She meets the party when they go out to prove Clare's innocence. Arriving first, November sees her, but does not know her story; the Witch goes into a monologue about her life and the truth is revealed to November (who becomes almost ill after hearing it). Upon attempting to eat November, she is attacked by Red. When attacked, she reveals herself to be an inhuman creature worthy of her deeds she is capable of taking massive wounds and functioning, suffering decapitation, and even commanding those parts of her body severed by Red's axe (they hover around the room and strike). Her favored weapon seems to be a butcher knife. Whenever badly wounded, the ghostly hands of children emerge from her body; they have grabbed foes (such as Red), dragging them into the Witch's body, and have also worked as healing for the Witch, reattaching destroyed body parts. Apparently, foes who have been "absorbed" in this method remain alive, though for how long is unknown — Red was able to survive a few minutes of absorption, but this may be due to her sheer strength. Red, while dealing damage to the Witch, was unable to permanently harm her; after Red was devoured by the hands of the children emerging from the Witch's stomach, Perrault managed to pass instructions to a distraught November by posing as "Hansel" while on the rooftop of the gingerbread house. Picking up on the hint, November used a poker to strike the Witch with a heated poker from the fire (fire being what Perrault mentioned as "preferred when dealing with your kind", meaning witches a reference to being burned at the stake). The wound this caused was enough to let Red free herself, slashing her way out of the witch's stomach and landing unceremoniously on the cabin floor; beating the witch severely with the poker, Red disabled her long enough to throw her into the oven. She locked the witch in to die screaming. The Witch, through her story and her death, is obviously the Witch from the story "Hansel and Gretel". Prince Ricardo Overly fastidious Prince, son of King Ricardo. Better known as "Dick the Picky". Introduced in the second Interlude, "The Wandering Swordsman". He reached the tower of Sleeping Beauty, a supposedly impossible task. However, his overly picky habits caused him to reject her after he learned that she snored. There are hints that he is wandering the world, searching for a "perfect" princess. As such, he may be the Prince from The Princess and the Pea, who was also said to have quested for such a bride, before returning to his castle. The Moon Takes the form of a beautiful lady carrying a lantern. Her task is to bear her lantern across the sky for all but one day a month; on the day of the new moon she usually rests. At the beginning of the story, the Moon has been missing for over a year, during which November has not slept.
