She is "strange" perhaps because she's like no one he's ever met, her naive nature and goodness are what make him notice her and want to watch out for her.

One day a man unlocked her gates And she found the way to go Back to the spiteful Goblin prince who’d locked her up for years

She asked his help to lift her curse But he could only...
