Joshua asked Karen Witemeyer:

Well Penelope lost both her parents and Samantha lost her mom and scarlet lost her dad ?

Karen Witemeyer Very true. That seems to be a theme in the original fairy tales as well. Orphaned children, lost children, those with step-parents, or those with only one parent. Callista in To Love a Beast lost her mother early in life and lives with only her father.
