Well, in a kids book about Grimm Brothers stories, you'll find lots of magical characters like fairies and talking animals.

The Grimm brothers collected stories from various sources. They listened to oral tales told by peasants, storytellers, and local people in Germany. These were traditional stories that had been passed down through generations in families and communities.

Typically, the main characters can still be the RWBY girls - Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang. Since the fanfiction involves Grimm reincarnation, there might also be a central Grimm character that has been reincarnated. It could be a new type of Grimm with unique abilities that the RWBY girls have to face or, in some cases, befriend or ally with.

Often, there are children as main characters. They might be on a quest to find something, like a lost toy or a magical item.

One of the main themes is good versus evil. For example, in 'Snow White', the beautiful and kind Snow White represents good, while the jealous and cruel queen is evil. Another theme is transformation. In 'The Frog Prince', the prince is transformed into a frog and then back to his human form. Family also plays a role, like in 'Hansel and Gretel' where the siblings rely on each other in a difficult situation.

The Brothers Grimm wrote their stories mainly for children to entertain and educate them.

One of the most recognizable is Rapunzel. The girl with the long hair trapped in the tower. Also, the Big Bad Wolf from stories like 'Little Red Riding Hood' is well - known. He is the cunning predator that tries to deceive Little Red Riding Hood. Another is the Frog Prince.

The Brothers Grimm collected the stories by traveling around Germany and listening to people. They were interested in the oral traditions of the common folk. They would visit villages and small towns, and sit with the locals to hear their tales. They were careful to note down not just the stories but also the way they were told, with all the unique expressions and dialects. This way, they managed to compile a large collection of real folk stories that became known as the Brothers Grimm stories.

The main characters are the Gingerbread Man, an old woman who bakes him, a cat, a dog, and a fox.
