Well, Rapunzel is beloved for a reason. She used to be the "Lost Princess"; back before I was born, they started having a lantern festival every year on her birthday. They'd send up hundreds of lanterns into the sky, hoping that Rapunzel- wherever she had disappeared to- would see them and find her way back home.

I thought it was just a story when I was little, but...turns out she did find her way back, eventually.
