You inform Kamiko of what your daughter told you.
"The youngest being the protagonist is pretty common." Kamiko says, "Makes sense why I'd be going last too. Have to give the eldest the first shot. I wonder who this Sven character is. Maybe it'll be Zul?"
You ask what happens if a human who is aware that he's following a story makes up a role. Does the story assign the role to the most fitting fey around?
"A story will do it's best to accommodate both a human's words and any visiting fae. Fairies will be given appropriate roles first, and do their best to move the story along. In exchange the fae gets some of the energy the humans bring to the story. Otherwise any Quasi around and give them the role. Oh jeez Quasi... How do I explain this... They are about the closest thing to an infant fae, or perhaps the soul of a one? Potential fae? They congregate in stories and gain energy from them in order to one day become a fairy."
You ask who you've met so far is a Quasi and who is a fairy.
"Well, Quasi are fairies. Sort of. Just not fully yet. Anyway, all the characters so far. You can usually tell a Quasi apart from a fairies because they'll lack the ability or desire to do anything outside their role in the slightest, and the story will generally keep them away from influencing it by themselves directly. They'll also only have knowledge about the story's setting. To them this is the 'real world'."
Now knowing it makes a whole new fairy for a role, you ask if they go on their own way after the story is finished, or disappear along with it.
"If the Quasi don't have the energy to maintain their forms or knowledge once a story is over they'll simply return to a little ball of potential and find another story to join. What happens after the Quasi that is strong enough varies from fairy to fairy. Some walk right out of the story they were in and into the fae world, settling in like they always been there. Some fairy are born the more traditional way and grow with the role. They might even age and die, only to be born again. It's all very confusing..." Kamiko says, rubbing her forehead. "And it gets even more confusing than that, because fairies can transform into other kinds of fairies. Human interpretations of a fairy change over time too...This is more of a thing to ask Zul."
You ask about the princess. When you described her as a goth, did the story alter a fairy to fit it's needs, or did it look for the most fitting person that would fit the description I gave the role?
"Human words and expectations can warp non-established parts of a story, yeah. The Princess' image didn't coalesce until you mentioned it. Had you not, she'd probably just look like traditional medieval royalty." Kamiko explains. "She's probably a full fairy though and probably the one who's glamour is powering the story. The tale seems to converge onto her and there aren't that many characters left. I guess it could be the King, or maybe this 'Sven'."
