Once upon a time, there lived a king and queen. This king and queen lived in a kingdom called Glass Shard Beach with their only son. And for a while, everything was right with their lives.

Then one day, the king and queen decided to have another child. So after another attempt, they succeeded, and a beautiful baby girl was born. But there was a terrible cost. Due to the queen's constant inhalation of smoke, the girl was born was a terrible illness. Worse, the doctors told the king and queen that she might not live to be eighteen years old.

So the king and queen decided to treat this girl like a proper young princess, treating every day as if she was going to die tomorrow. Yet they did not tell her about her illness. As a result of this, the girl did believe that she was a real princess, being very feminine and kind. And due to the queen's constant inhalation of smoke while she was pregnant, the princess' internal organs were damaged, resulting in her voice sounding very high-pitched, which only encouraged her feminine side. However, she had a hard time growing out of this phase, which greatly concerned her parents.

As the princess got older, she made two friends: a female scholar and a male knight. At that point, the king and queen became worried. She was going to die in six years. What were they going to do?

Luckily a powerful sorcerer heard their cries, so he came to them. He told them that he could cure the princess of her illness, but in exchange for his service, he would have full ownership of her soul when she was to die. Believing that this was a good deal, the king and queen accepted the sorcerer's offers, and the princess was cured.

Then one fateful day, the princess and her friends met a powerful witch. But this wasn't an ordinary witch, for she owned a special device that allowed her to travel through time and space. The princess was greatly intrigued, and she developed an interest in space travel.

But you see, the king and queen were very progressive, so they greatly encouraged the princess with her dreams of space travel, even when everyone else in the kingdom thought it was impossible. So as the princess grew up, she became more and more interested in exploring the stars.

One day, the king and queen met up with the witch, who gave the princess an opportunity to attend a special school for people like her. They accepted the suggestion, and when the princess graduated high school, she immediately started attending the school. And during those years, she became more mature, yet she was still feminine and kind.

When it was time for the princess to graduate from the special school, the witch rewarded her with a special hat, one that was light blue and white. She accepted the gift, happily wearing the hat ever since.

After that fateful day, the princess continued to have adventures with the scholar, knight, and witch, even when they ended up stuck in a kingdom called Gravity Falls. And over time, she developed feelings for the knight, yet she was too shy to tell him the truth.

After a few years, the princess and her friends worked on a magical portal. But when the time came to test it out, the sorcerer emerged from the device. After a bit of a scuffle, the princess was sadly electrocuted to death. Pleased with what happened, the sorcerer collected the princess' soul, but the knight pushed him back into the portal.

After locking up the knight in a prison cell, the sorcerer knew he would get caught if he wasn't careful, so he tore open a rift and hurled the soul through time, knowing that when the time came, he would retrieve what was rightfully his.

Eventually the soul did find its next host, and after thirty years, the seed grew into a tomboyish sketch artist with a ponytail. Her forehead was decorated in beautiful star pattern because of this, but it was that pattern that made her shunned by everyone in town (with the exception of her 'perfect' twin brother).

At one point, the sorcerer discovered that this girl was, in fact, a reincarnation of the princess who died thirty years ago. And ever since then, he vowed to harvest the girl's soul, even if it meant killing her in the process...

A/N: In other words, Bill was the one who was responsible for Dana being a reincarnation of Silvia. With this knowledge, he is going to do everything he can to get his property back.
