Thank you very much! This is very helpful!

I still have some questions. I've played through multiple times, gotten 75% of fairytale and independent woman endings, and 67% of traveller endings, but there are certain things that I have never seen a variant of, even though the flowering branch appears.

The one I'm most curious about is the prince in the garden, the night before the ball. He talks about the strange weather, the dogs howling, and the eerie atmosphere. I've never seen a variant here, even though a flowering branch appears at the beginning of the scene.

Also the night before the ball, the stepmother is alone in her room, talking about how everything is ready. Then she mentions the weather and says she can remember another night with such an atmosphere, "the night she died." Now, that really piques my curiosity. Did Carmosa have something to do with Cinders' mother's death?

Also, on the morning of day two, when Carmosa is yelling at Gloria, a flowering branch appears.

So what are the alternates of these paths and how do I get to them?

Thanks.

The scene itself doesn't hold any variants, but the fact that this scene itself is shown then is a variant. In another route you get the scene with Cinders getting the poison.

Also the night before the ball, the stepmother is alone in her room, talking about how everything is ready. Then she mentions the weather and says she can remember another night with such an atmosphere, "the night she died." Now, that really piques my curiosity.

Perhaps...

Also, on the morning of day two, when Carmosa is yelling at Gloria, a flowering branch appears.

A lot in that scene depends on if Cinders did well during her shopping trip on day one. If she did, Carmosa is even more nasty and makes an unfavorable comparison to Cinders, to humiliate Gloria even more.

Aaghh! That's just mean.

[TeeGee]

To be honest, only Hubert (who wrote this scene) knows. And I didn't ask him, because I like that it's open for interpretation.

I finally managed to poison the stepmother, but I still haven't managed to seduce the captain. Are they mutually exclusive?

[dancingcat]

Well, I finally got Machiavellian queen, so I've done all of the fairytale endings. I also managed to poison Carmosa, and to become an exile by failing, with Perrault for company. I don't really want to try for Grim fate.
