Sometimes the daughter and her father are the protagonists, sometimes Rumpelstiltskin is the protagonist, and in one instance it’s the king.

 Rumpelstiltskin's PAR Site-- Annotations
Rumpelstiltskin may have overheard the miller or his daughter talking about her predicament before she was carried away, and he decided this could be a profitable opportunity for him.
If Rumpelstiltskin had not given the queen a way out of the promise, there is reason to believe that he might have harmed her because "folklore emphasizes the importance of a promise by meting punishment upon those who do not keep their promises" (Heiner 2004).
Rumpelstiltskin's appearance, talent for producing gold, and mentioning of the devil's name may signal that he actually is an associate of the devil.

 The Rumpelstiltskin Problem - PowerBookSearch!
In one story, the miller's daughter is an obnoxious groupie pursuing the polite and gentle king; in another, Rumpelstiltskin is female; and in a third, the dwarf appears as a troll with a yen to eat human baby who sets up the whole scenario as an attempt to get his hands on a toothsome infant.
Vande Velde keeps the basic structure the same: always a miller's daughter must spin straw into gold for the king, always the claim is made that Rumpelstiltskin does it for her--or at least teaches her--in exchange for her firstborn--and ultimately someone must guess the creature's strange name to break that contract.
Rumpelstiltskin, the main character is a neighbor of the miller and his daughter, an unpleasant witch-like woman who wants a daughter of her own to raise (in a locked tower, as it turns out).

 Amardeep Singh: Rumpelstiltskin and the Realm of Fiction
First, the power granted to the peasant girl Rosanie by Ricdin-Ricdon is attached to a magic wand that enables her to spin raw flax and hemp into fine yarn without effort, and also, at a second wave, to weave the yarn into fabulous and intricate tapestries.
In the Grimm version she has a child that Rumpelstiltskin threatens to steal, which doesn't quite fit the social advancement/wealth acquisition theme of the story.
Here the Prince is in love with Rosanie, but the class barrier makes any thought of a marriage impossible, that is, until it's revealed at the end of the story that Rosanie is actually of royal birth from another kingdom.
