Princessa (also known as Princess of Moonbrooke, Pudding, and Princess Princessa) is a protagonist from Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line. Princessa is the princess of Moonbrooke and a descendant of Erdrick. The Prince of Midenhall and the Prince of Cannock in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line are her cousins. Princessa is an excellent sorceress, but a poor fighter.

While her name has changed several times throughout her appearances due to her in-game name being randomly selected, the title of the character in her original appearance is the Princess of Moonbrooke.

History[edit]

Background[edit]

In Dragon Quest II, Pudding is known as the Princess of Moonbrooke and is the relative of the two main heroes in the game. She lived in peace in Moonbrooke Castle until a villain known as Hargon and his army arrived to Moonbrooke. After killing her father, Hargon's army destroyed a large part of Moonbrooke, and later cursed the princess causing her to turn into a small brown dog. However, after the curse is broken by her cousins later on in the game, the Princess of Moonbrooke decides to join forces with them so that she can achieve revenge on Hargon for what he had done to Moonbrooke as well as her father. In this game, her primary strength involves her magic power which is the strongest out of the other characters in the party.
