In the enchanted realm of Book, wherein resides Crisanta, daughter of famed Cinderella, taking charge of one's character is not encouraged.  That is meant to be left to fairy godmothers and of course, the Author.  But to a young girl who wishes to control her own destiny, that simply won't do.  Crisanta has attended Lady Agnue's School for Princesses & Other Female Protagonists, so she is fully aware of what's expected of her, but being demure and subservient really isn't her thing.  Prophecies be damned, Crisanta won't let things go down without a fight.
