With her eighteenth birthday arriving, Rapunzel has gained the courage to ask Mother Gothel if she can see the floating lanterns because she believes they are somehow connected to her and does so. Instinctively, Rapunzel pulls up a chair and sings the incantation hurriedly, causing Gothel to become younger almost instantly. Gothel then insensitively teases Rapunzel for her slowness and decreases her confidence in front of a mirror, before saying she loves her, as usual, and asking her to sing the incantation to her hair.

Rapunzel complies and uses her hair and a lantern holder as a rope and pulley to bring Gothel to the window. Soon after, Mother Gothel finally arrives at the base of the tower and calls for Rapunzel to let down her long hair. The day before her eighteenth birthday, she decides with Pascal that she will finally ask Mother Gothel to see the lights. Wanting to know the meaning behind this phenomenon, Rapunzel develops a dream to see these lights in person.

Since childhood, she has become fascinated by an annual event that seems to happen only on her birthday. Though she is happy with her life in the tower, Rapunzel longs to someday explore the outside world. While Mother Gothel (whom she views as her mother) is away, Rapunzel does many tasks throughout the tower to occupy her time.

Shortly after her birth, Mother Gothel, a witch who used the flower to rejuvenate, sneaks into her room one night to take a piece of Rapunzel's hair, but realizes that by doing so she loses her powers, so she kidnaps the princess and takes her away from her parents.

As a result, Rapunzel acquired magical abilities through her long golden hair. When her mother was expecting her she fell ill, so she drank the legendary golden flower to recover.
