"My mother was a queen before she was imprisoned. She wanted me to pretend I was a complete airhead and tried to teach me that the only thing I should exist for was finding a prince with a giant castle to marry. On Auradon, I figured out that I'm actually incredibly smart. I graduated top of my class in chemistry. I started my own business and bought my own starter castle when I left school. I was away from her influence and so much better off for it. Maybe this dumb train can be your Auradon." She doesn't see why he couldn't give it a try.
