1. Just checked it on Wikipedia. Bathory lived in the 16th and 17th century (died in 1614). Snow White was originally written in 1812. With that said, if we take the parallels one step further, i'm getting the gruesome theory Bathory was psychologically capable of killing her own daughter :-(. Did her parents were siblings, or she just came out the worst way possible?

2. Here's a mature animated movie you might like : The Magic Pudding. It's less childish than it sounds. The movie begins with 3 sailors. Bill the human (played by Hugo Weaving, AKA Elrond from LOTR, V from "V For Vendetta and Agent Smith), Sam the penguin (played by Sam Neill, AKA Allen Grant from JP) and Buncle the wombat (played by Jack Thompson. This guy can do a rather menacing voice). When they were stranded in Antarctica after hitting an iceberg, Buncle got the idea of eating Sam. The only thing saved Sam was the eruption of a magic pudding from the iceberg. The pudding turned out to replenish itself every time he get eaten. There was enough food for all three of them, but Buncle decided to take sole possession of the pudding. He was like those bank robbers who shoot their accomplices for having more of the money. Long time after that incident, Bill and Sam moved all over the world with their pudding, until they stumbled upon a koala named Bunyip. During the story we find out that all of the 3 protagonist have the same common enemy, because Buncle abducted Bunyip's parents in order to force them into mining food for his monstrous appetite. You could think years of Stalin-like reign on slaves who work 24/7 for his cause would satisfy Buncle and make him forget about the pudding. But his crazy dream remain. His similarities to grizzly (giant brown wombat who eat everything, from roots to his own slaves, including everything between), outfit of a general which clearly not fitting his size and enslaving half of the characters gives him an aura of Idi Amin. And the scenes with Bunyip's parents are a sure way to cry.

3. Surprisingly not. They have multiple similarities, but the mechanics is different (serial killer and rapist vs warlord). You just know you can rest as ease when Geiseric is similar to a villain you wrote. Boudicca is kinda similar to Princess Ashley, because both have a good motive ("you killed my father!" and "you raped my daughters and repressed my people!") and can be argued as true affably evil (while I feel Boudicca's sorrow, taking innocent lives can make someone a villain. Not all of Boudicca's victims had a hand at what happen to her and her daughters). Now when you say it, I do need to give Ashley some traits of Boudicca. Thanks for bringing it up to the front of my brain. Do you think Boudicca could be redeemed if she was a villain in a story from common roman civilian's point of view (the roman empire was far worse, but the civilian must've see Boudicca as a terrorist because she went head first against their nation), or Ashley is far more likely to be redeemed?

4. Weiss had an abusing father? Man :-(. I didn't remembered that part. At least she gone through character development. I always respect people who become better. I really should end season 1 and understand the plot deeper. I hope Weiss's father was like Adam, because if he is, he would be like Amadeus Blumberg, in a sense killing him won't be count patricide.
