* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Sela Mathers is a deconstruction of TheStoryteller trying to teach AnAesop to her readers. Sela starts the series as a teacher using her magic book to teach lessons to people to make the right choice by reading them dark fairytales showing the gruesome fate that awaits them if they continue down their destructive path. At first, things were good, and the people who read Sela's stories made the right choice and better their lives. But eventually, Sela meets people who ignore her advice; they eventually wreck their lives, showing that despite giving good advice and showing the consequences of continuing their bad behavior, there would be people who would ignore good advice and continue their actions. Some issues show that some things are too complicated for Sela and that reading her stories couldn't help the person she's trying to help. Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, The woman that was reading the book was trying to murder an older man that she married for money; when she read the book and tried to stop the murder, it was too late, and she was killed with Sela noted that it was too late for that woman to make things right for her. Bluebeard had Sela read a story to a woman who suspected her husband was having an affair; the story made the woman afraid her husband was going to kill her, so she stabbed her husband just add it was revealed that he was planning a surprise party for her to the women's horror and it's revealed that the woman was supposed to read the last page of the book that would've told her that the danger she thought she was in from her husband was just her paranoid fears. Beauty and the Beast shows Sela reading her stories to a couple in a toxic and abusive relationship. Sela's story convinces the woman to break up with her boyfriend, but the boyfriend, who was revealed to come from an abusive home, decides to kill himself, with Sela noting that he was supposed to do the right thing and wonders why she should care. Eventually, Sela herself snaps because of all the people who destroyed their lives despite the advice you tried to give and starts using the book to kill people that she believes deserve it. Sela only stopped when the person who gave her the book stepped in, and Sela was reminded of the time she read The Juniper Tree to a woman who did the right but still lost her daughter anyway. Sela then accepted that despite how hard she tries, she will still lose people who will not take her advice, and she should focus on the people she can save.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first three issues demonstrate how the creators were still figuring out the ongoing plot structure and Sela's role.
** The first issue only has Sela's book, with Britney Waters thinking she dreamed the story only to discover a cut on her cheek and leaves in her bed implying that characters would live through the stories in order to learn their lesson.
** The second issue introduces Sela proper, but she appears more malevolent as she implies she'll offer Cindy her heart's desire in exchange for her soul. [[spoiler:This would be brought up several issues later when Sela's confronted with this, stating she doesn't remember meeting Cindy and realizing she was being controlled by Belinda at the time. The creators revealed Sela's behavior was originally meant to mimic that of certain characters in the fairy tales, here acting like the Fairy Godmother. In the third issue she would've taken on traits similar to the gingerbread witch, but this was scrapped in the released version.]]
** By the third issue, Sela's finally cemented in the role of the mysterious but well meaning figure using her storybook to help people avoid making tragic mistakes.

''Grimm Fairy Tales'' is a comic book series by Creator/ZenescopeEntertainment inspired by the stories of Creator/TheBrothersGrimm and other traditional stories. Each issue is a frame story in which someone with a problem meets one of two women, Sela or her evil nemesis Belinda. They will be given a book containing an "original" fairy tale, much darker in tone than traditional fairy tales, that mirrors their situation. In the end, one of three things will happen: the person will see the error of their ways and change, the person will fail to see the error of their ways and fall victim to some unfortunate circumstances, or they will fail to see the error of their ways and supernatural forces from the story will act directly to punish them. The series is typically very over-the-top, although this does not stop it from being entertaining by any means.
