Peacock Princess Concept (The Peacock Princess)

Description

I think I've decided that my children's story experimentation will be more entertaining with an original story of mine.

I chose a story I came up with a few months ago titled The Peacock Princess, a tale inspired by all the classic fairy tales that everyone knows and loves. It's sort of a mix between Snow White, Swan Lake, Beauty and the Beast, and others tales like those ones.

The story follows a princess betrothed to a prince in a neighboring kingdom. When the prince's mother sees her throne threatened by the princess, she curses the princess. By night, the princess takes the form of a beautiful princess, but by day, she takes the form of a peacock. Only true love can break the curse.

Since the prince's kingdom is inspired by peacocks, the visuals proved to be difficult in the past, but I think it's perfect for an illustrated story. There's going to be a lot of color due to the colorfulness of peacocks... so expect a lot of green, blues, and purples. 

My idea is that the princess could be names Lydia or Lily, but I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has one. 

So, what do ya'll think? Do you like the story? What do you think of the princess's design? Do you like the name Lydia, Lily, or do you have any other name suggestions?

Hmm... is your story with Ellie still circling in your mind, or did you decide to dump it?
