A fairytale for Black Canary?

[littleredhat]

One of my favorite fairy tales is the story of the girl/princess who saves her brothers from being birds(typicly black birds or waterfowl) by remaining silent for years dispite the danger it puts her in.

Example:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Brothers

I greatly admire the heroines of these stories because not only do they save themselves but also thier male family members and love interests.

Lately whenever I think of the Black Canary I am reminded of these stories and have an urge to connect Dinah with these brave young women.

Perhaps a Queen of Fables story with the rest of the JLA turned into birds and Dinah haveing to save them silently without her Cry?

That... is an awesome idea!! I don't suppose I could talk you into writing a fan fic of that? *looks hopeful*

Sorry I can't write for beans.:(

But if you know anyone who can the plot is up for grabs.

Not even for magic beans? I have some that I just traded a cow for. :D

Anyway, I think it's a cool idea. I know the story to an extent. I read it in my copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Also, Jim Henson's The Storyteller did a variation of the story called "The Three Ravens".

Too bad DC doesn't have "Fairy Tale" minis like Marvel does.

Black Canary appreared as "The Lady of the Birds" in the fairytale inspired Elseworlds story League of Justice.
