What is a canon OC, and is it bad that you think I mostly am one?

I'm not "just a stupid girl"!

[The Once-ler glares.] Is that so?
She sure knows how to appall.
My dear, I don't think you're stupid.
No, not at all.

Well, thank you! I have to say I agree with you. Why, she calls me stupid for things I haven't even done yet!

But she's being wicked. We don't have to talk about her. What's your name?

No, we don't.
People like that don't deserve your time.
She reminds me of a certain furry orange pest
Who acts like I'm always up to some crime.

[The nerve! The cheek!
The absolute wit!
There's one creature
The Once-ler would like to hit.]

But yes, we don't.
Believe it or not, I don't like to spite.
My name... [said the Once-ler.] ...Is the Once-ler.
And you're Rapunzel...right?

You hardly seem criminal to me. Some people speak without knowing what they're saying, I think.

The Once-ler! My, what a name. And yes! I am Rapunzel. It's a pleasure to meet you. You have a very wondrous way of speaking. Did you know that?

How very true!
Sometimes they just can't help it.
Very annoying, I think, but also sad.
Just a little bit.

- I might. [the Once-ler says with a blush.]
But I hardly notice most of the time.
I've been talking like this for so long
That even my thoughts have begun to rhyme.

I suppose it is rather sad for them, to go around always seeming so foolish. But mostly annoying! It's very rude to go around making assumptions, after all.

[Her eyes widen in excitement.] That's magnificent! Do you think if I practiced enough, I could do that, too?

That's why you must learn to speak
Very clearly, through and through.
Be bold! Be blunt!
That way no one will mess with you.

You might. Yes, I think...
But there's only one way to tell.
Go on, give it a try.
It's the only way to see if you can do it well.

I could be bold and blunt! Or... I think I could!

...Oh. I mean.

[Give her a minute.]

I can be those things!
It's something I can do!
If it will help me
Speak just like you.

[And then, he gasps! And claps and claps and claps some more!]

Rowdy dow, wow!
That's the way to go!
You see how easy it is
When you just let the words flow?

I see, I do!
And it's really quite fun!
Now that I've started
I don't want to be done!

And I wonder, The Once-ler,
If little me
Could thank you somehow!
I'd do it most eagerly!
