Sikan and T'Risa

"Sikan and T'Risa" is the name of a traditional children's story in Vulcan culture, about a man transformed by a curse into a monster, who can only be changed back by a female heroine.

Amanda Grayson cited this story as an illustration of the similarities between alien cultures, noting that Human culture had a similar story called "Beauty and the Beast", as did the Andorians, with the title "The Prince Trapped in Monster Form".
