- Ruth and her husband are very poor people and become with child. Ruth gives birth to twins, however, she has nothing to raise them with, she makes a deal with Rumplestiltskin and gives him one of her boys in exchange for a farm. ("The Shepherd") When David, Ruth's remaining son, was young, she and his father would fight all the time because of his constant drinking.

("White Out") Anna, the princess of Arendelle, adopts the alias of Joan and heads over to David and Ruth's farm, knowing them to be trustworthy because her fiancé, Kristoff, is a good friend of the former. She seeks his help on her secret mission, but she is soon interrupted when Bo Peep, the local warlord, stops by the bully the two shepherds. She tells them to pay them what they owe her or else she will take their farm and force them to work off their debt as slaves. She then "brands" them with her magical shepherd's crook to make sure they are never able to escape, saying that David's father's horse should buy them an extra day. Not liking this one bit, Anna trains David how to fight with swords and he is successfully able to beat Bo Peep and her bodyguards in a fight, winning he and his mother their freedom. Having been given David's horse, Anna sets off on her journey, but before she does, Ruth tells her of a powerful wizard who might be able to help her with what she's doing: Rumplestiltskin. The young princess leaves to find the Dark One. ("White Out") Prince James, Ruth's given up son, is killed after promising to defend King Midas' kingdom from a dragon.
