THE STORY BEHIND THIS PRODUCT
Tonight, on Plat Met Felicia we meet volstruis princess Nadia Groenewald discussing the art of egg hatching and other vital survival tricks. But I thought she died? She did; it’s sort of like Brooke from The Bold & the Beautiful. How so? She comes back as a ghost. What? Don’t you know? Who writes these things anyway?. Anyway, this next episode is iconic. It’s when she first learns that she has wings but can’t fly. I mean how tragic, if you’re a bird. I like the land. Of course you do.
