In between doing all the jobs around the manor Gothel had her do, Rapunzel spent her free time painting. With her, in the castle were two animals: a dragon named Penelope, and a rabbit named Hobie. She spent seventeen years in captivity, as a servant thinking Gothel had saved her as a baby when she was young.
When Rapunzel was a baby, she was kidnapped from her parents by the evil witch Gothel and placed in a manor, hidden in the deep forest behind the enchanted wall.
