The '''Princess of Moonbrooke''' (also '''Pudding''' or '''Princessa''') is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]''. She is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who inherited none of her ancestor's physical strength but makes up for that with her magical prowess
The '''Princess of Moonbrooke''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a playable party member in {{DQ2}}. She is a descendant of [[Erdrick]] who inherited none of her ancestor's physical strength but makes up for it with her magical prowess.


After [[Hargon]] attacks [[Moonbrooke]], the Princess of Moonbrooke is turned into a dog. Later, after her cousins, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Prince of Cannock]] break the curse, she joins forces with them to exact revenge on [[Hargon]] for what he did to [[Moonbrooke]] and her father.
After [[Hargon]] attacks [[Moonbrooke]], the Princess of Moonbrooke is cursed and turned into a dog. Later, after her cousins the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Prince of Cannock]] break the curse, she joins forces with them to exact revenge on [[Hargon]] for what he did to her subjects and her father.


==Appearance and Personality==
==Appearance and personality==
She is depicted as shorter than her cousins, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest II)|Prince of Midenhall]] and the [[Prince of Cannock]]. She alternates between having blonde and lavender hair, and is clothed in a white robe and purple or red hood with Erdrick's crest on them, carrying what looks to be a [[Wizard's Wand]] in the Japanese version of the game. In the American illustrations for the NES version of the game she is tall, blond, and wears a pink and black robe, knee-high black boots, red cape and holds the [[Lightning staff|Staff of Thunder]]. When cursed by [[Hargon]], she took the form of a brown dog.
She is depicted as shorter than her cousins, by how much depending on the illustration. She alternates between having blonde and lavender hair, and is clothed in a white robe and purple or red hood with Erdrick's crest on the forehead, carrying what looks to be a [[wizard's staff]] in the Japanese version of the game. In the American illustrations for the NES version of the game she is tall, blond, and wears a pink and black robe, knee-high black boots, red cape and holds the [[lightning staff]]. When cursed by [[Hargon]], she took the form of a brown dog.


The princess comes across as a shy but strong willed girl, who wants revenge on [[Hargon]] for what was done to her father and [[Moonbrooke|home]]. When encountered in various spin-offs and cameo appearances in later games, the princess is a jubilant and perky young woman prone to fits of laughter. Humorously, she sometimes ''barks'' when she becomes angry in said cameos, such as [[Fortune Street]].

==Precedence for Later Titles==
==Appearances==
The fair princess introduces several firsts to the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series, such as being the first heroine to join the protagonist, the series' original dedicated [[sage]]-like character, and the first to endure the destruction of their family and home. Such a melancholy fate would become the series' standard, with only a scant few lead characters avoiding the trend.
==={{DQ2}}===
The princess is first seen in the opening cutscene, and is encountered in person in [[Moonaham]]. Unable to communicate with her cousins due to her curse, she follows them around as a party member anyway as head's up to new players that the dog is more than it seems. After getting hints from the townsfolk of Moonaham, the two princes find the [[Mirror of Ra]] in a swamp east of the ruins of Moonbrooke. Returning to the village, the mirror is used on the princess and she is restored.

==Equipment==
====Spells====
The Princess of Moonbrooke is the most limited in terms of equipment compared to her cousins, being only able to equip light clothing and magical staves and wands. She cannot use any shields. She joins the party equipped only with [[plain clothes]] and a [[cypress stick]] and does not have much in the way of physical attacks and defense. The SNES, GBC, and iOS/Android versions of the game mitigate this slightly by improving the attack scores on the wands she can equip.

On May 27, 2011, the Princess of Moonbrooke began appearing as a special guest under the name of '''Princess Princessa''' at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, she will give the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|Hero]] different pieces of her outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*In the Wii game ''[[Fortune Street]]'', her name is Princessa or Pudding. In ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', her name is Princessa. In the Mobile version, her name can be chosen at the beginning of the game.
*[[Moonbrooke dress]] - Received when talking to her.
*[[Moonbrooke hood]] - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Moonbrooke shoes]] - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
A special [[Accolade]] is earned if the Hero wears all of the parts of the Prince of Moonbrooke's costume.
 
==={{DQ11}}===
The princess is found in the [[Moonaham]] section of the [[Echo Chamber]], where in she has returned to human form at the cost of the citizens becoming dogs themselves. Distraught, she requests aid from the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] and seeks a jug of [[Magic water]] to undo the curse. After being given the phial and returning history to normal, she laments her fate and awaits the arrival of her cousins. Humorously, she is greatly taken aback at how common magic water is in the Luminary's world compared to her own, which is likely a developer joke at how mundane magical items have become in recent games in the series.
 
===''[[Fortune Street]]''===
The princess is a playable character and a rank C opponent.
