==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]].

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]].

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.

The Princess of Moonbrooke is a character in the Dragon Quest series that appears as a playable party member in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line. 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 cursed and turned into a dog. Later, after her cousins the 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

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 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.
