Fairy Tale D&D Character Builds
Play your favorite characters from Grimm's fairy tales and Disney movies with these quick builds. These characters are good for people new to D&D because they can choose characters that they resonate with, without having to make a lot of decisions.
Each build uses the point buy or standard array for ability scores and lists recommended decisions for features selections through 3rd level. These make great ally characters or fun NPCs in a Feywild one-shot adventure.
Each player also has a magical item appropriate to their character. This can be provided at the start for a one-shot with 3rd level players, or can be made available by the DM as loot later on if starting from 1st level.

Red Riding Hood
Red is a frolicking wanderer of dark forests. She is as well known for her cheery temperament and good deeds as she is her determination to rid the world of evil beasts. Wearing her signature red cloack of protection and wielding her basket of holding with supernatural force, Red packs a deceptively powerful punch, especially when facing her favored enemy: wolves.

Snow White
Gorgeous, naively kind, inexplicable animal affinity, a jealous matriarchal figure, and extended periods of unconsciousness: it's the rite of passage for folk heroes these days. But even among folk heroes, Snow White is legendary—the archetype of song-bird calling, evil-thwarting beauty.
She can fix up your wounds with herbs while singing an enchanting song that calls animals from the forest to watch, or send rodents to run errands for her.
And she cooks!

1st level
Chef feat: With the custom lineage, you begin with the Chef feat, adding +1 to your Constitution and gaining the ability to make a special meal during a short rest for up to 4+proficiency bonus creatures (Dopey doesn't get any until you reach 5th level?) At the end of the short rest, any creature who eats the food and spends one or more Hit Dice regains an extra 1d8 HP. (You can do this every single short rest!)
2nd level
Wild Shape: You can change into a beast up to challenge rating 1/4 or lower for an hour, twice a day. Flavor this as a favor from a fairy godmother to transform you, eating a magic apple with a druidic enchantment, or pulling up the hood on an enchanted cloak you found in the woods.
Druid Circle: The fey-themed, healing-focused Circle of Dreams subclass grants you the Balm of the Summer Court feature. You have d6's equal to your druid level and can spend any number of them as a bonus action to heal a creature within 120 feet (roll for healing), plus 1 temporary HP per die you spend. Flavor it as a bird delivering healing berries or mice bandaging wounds.
Fey Cloak
wondrous item, uncommon
Given to her by her father or a caring huntsman, this velvet cloak grants Snow White a base AC of 13 when she is not wearing armor (similar to the mage armor spell). Part of the secret to Snow White's successful brand as a hero is that signature "no-armor" look. Okay, and the dress helps.

Seven Dwarves
The seven dwarves are Oath of Devotion paladins, sworn to the protection of the innocent and vulnerable...especially if they are pretty. The dwarves have graduated from babysitting Snow White, have taken up brewing as a way to fill their free time and their mugs and bring happiness to the forest, have upgraded their armor, and are available for hire. With their fabled "Heigh-Ho" war picks and medicine skills, these cheerful (except Grumpy) paladins are the perfect addition to any adventure (except Dopey).

Heigh-Ho
magical weapon, rare (requires attunement)
A gift from the noble queen Snow White to her beloved protectors, Heigh-Ho is a +1 war pick (+1 to attack and damage rolls). Each of the seven dwarves has a unique version of Heigh-Ho with a special magical ability that can be used as an action once per day.
- Happy: raising the war pick shouting "Heigh-Ho" magically conjures a bountiful meal that restores 3d8 HP that can be divided among those who share the meal over a short rest, or in the presence of enemies casts the spell Tasha's hideous laughter.
- Sleepy: yawning while resting the war pick on the ground casts the spell sleep.
- Grumpy: to frustrate foes and make them grumpy, as a bonus action shouting "Heigh-Ho" allows one ally within 60 ft. to use their reaction to disengage, or a grappled ally to attempt to escape the grapple and move 15 ft.
- Sneezy: as an action, swinging the war pick erratically and shouting an obnoxious "Ha-choo" casts the spell thunderwave or gust of wind (random).
- Dopey: dribbling your finger over your lips while making insipid noises and weilding the war pick upside down casts the spell confusion.
- Bashful: clasping your hands on the handle of Heigh-Ho and saying "aw, shucks" casts the spell charm person.
- Doc: Shouting "Heigh-Ho" grants any allies within 60 ft. advantage on their next saving throw or ability check.

Ariel
Ariel is a changeling princess who always dreamed of life under the sea. But no matter what shape, she took, she couldn't spend more than a few minutes underwater–until she made a pact with an powerful entity of the great abyss. Now, she has everything she ever wanted. All she had to do was sell her soul. So worth it!
Now that she has her own arcane powers, she can silence squawking birds during romantic moments (or enemy spellcasters), and much, much more.

Equipped with a few druid spells, a massive array of skills, her enchanting good looks and brilliant disguises, and her peerless eye for detail, Goldilocks is now one of the most sought-after private investigators in the kingdom.

Prince Charming
Prince Charming is no floppy-haired, part-down-the middle, song-busting Disney pretty boy. Okay, he actually is.
But some days, when court is oppressively boring and no noble ladies have come to call, he takes up the moniker "Prince Harming" and goes adventuring with commoners hired to play the roles of mercenary adventurers, who also ensure his safety and maximum publicity exposure.
He's a bit of a fop. And gleaming in his ultra shiny armor, he's not going to sneak up on anyone...especially with his crier with the trumpet announcing his arrival. That said, he's not half-bad with that gold-inlaid sword.
Plus, he works out.

Beanstalk Jack
Jack is scrappy self-taught urchin who grew up fighting his way out of trouble from bullies and roadside brigands. He sold his mother's cow for some magic beans and a chance at a new life. Then he got hungry (and distracted) and ate them.
Now he occasionally sprouts tentacular vine arms from his shoulders and grows delicious berries in his hand. Yes, he is a freak. But nobody bullies him anymore. And he's available for hire, and still waiting for that chance to slay a giant.

This amulet on a necklace broach has 3 charges of the spell Armor of Agathys (1 spell level per charge) which recharge on a long rest. Charges can be spent individually, multiply, or all at once as an action. Oh, and this ice armor is stylish.
Note: Choosing the triton race for this build instead of half-elf makes a great variant and helps with spell variety. Flavor is free in D&D, so your character can look however you like; you just get a bunch more spells, water breathing, and cold resistance, for one less ability score increase.

Peter Pan
The leader of Lost Boys clan is no child. Pan is a fairy, though he doesn't have wings, which lets him get away with pretending. He's got his own magic with which he flies and makes all manner of mischief.
His ineffable sense of adventure leads Pan and the lost boys to clash with traders, pirates, and anyone who wanders too close to the isle of Neverland.
Pan's history of alleged abductions remains controversial, though most contend Pan just shelters and aids runaways. This is aside from the question of whether the children are running away because Peter encouraged them.
When Pan leaves Neverland in search of adventure, his vast skill set and unending inspirational attitude make him a perfect addition to any team...if you can handle the pranks.

Tinkerbell
This tinker fairy does more than mend pots, mostly getting in trouble with magical tinkering, pixie dust-infused concoctions, and animated inventions of varying types (homunculus servant). Famously jealous and overzealous, Tinker's ambitions can get her friends in a heap of trouble. But, in a pinch (ha-ha) her pixie dust and quick-thinking can save the day.
The bears a fey mark and trinkets from Neverland in the Feywild.

Hercules
Most imagine Hercules as a hulking barbarian. But the Hercules of legend brought down most of his prey using wit and his bow. Hercules was a man with no weaknesses, though his strength and skill as an athlete were unparalleled.
Early in his career, we find a young Hercules, eager to seek the pleasure of his gods with deeds of valor and the destruction of terrible monsters. Before the legends were told, there was a boy who had the courage, the intelligence, and the strength to attempt attempt the impossible.
The classic Greek hero also used a spear, shortsword and shield, so our Hercules has a longspear for one-arm use with his duelist fighting style or two-handed use without his shield, but we'll write in a longsword to better reflect his damage-dealing ability. Also, we're choosing existing ranger options to double his proficiency in Athletics, to allow him to grapple monsters at a level beyond what a normal person's strength would allow.
Hercules' weapons are almost as famous as his exploits, complementing his cunning and combat prowess.

Sleeping Beauty/Aurora
Skin as pale as porcelain and lips as red as cherries—well it is no wonder. She's a vampire, or part vampire (dhampir). To satisfy her thirst for blood, she holes up in a castle and pretends to be under a curse (she doesn't need to breathe), awaiting true love's kiss. If the prince is ugly, or has bad breath, she just drinks his blood. Eventually true love will slake her bloodlust. At least that is the legend. The real truth: Aurora will never be free of death's curse.
The part about her making friends with animals and controlling owls to patrol the perimeter of her lair, er castle, is 100% true. As is her beauty and her charm.
The part about pricking her finger on a spindle—that's false. She got bit by a vampire and stabbed him with a spindle before her vampiric conversion was complete. She actually has quite good weaving skills. I mean, what do you think she does when no one is around, lie on the bed pretending to be asleep? No, she just does that when a prince is getting close. Otherwise, some knitting, some tapestries, a new dress...then plop down on the bed when a prince comes.
