Talk:Princess of Cannock

This is not a significant character in Dragon Quest II. She is named (obviously) but does not play any part in the overall plot of the game. In other words, she is too insignificant to merit an article. --Pagoda 19:58, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

EVERY character, EVERY monster, EVERY spell should have an article. Even if it is a small character which a lot of characters are in Dragon Quest.--BigCubby 12:38, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I agree about monsters and spells, but I think there has to be some sort of standard for characters. I have no problem saying that every 'named' character should have an article, or that every 'significant' character should have an article. The Princess of Cannock is neither. Can you be more clear what you define as a 'character'? --Pagoda 14:12, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I am at a little mess up here because I have never played the game but just judging by the title of the article then I would say she is a little bit worth of an article just because of the "Princess" title. However I am not sure what the guidelines are or what it should be but the "Princess" part really makes me think she deserves an article. However I have never played the game, at least to this part.--BigCubby 14:19, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

I had honestly forgotten that the Prince of Cannock had a sister and thought that this was just a typo or somethin'. While I suppose every character should get their due, it might be easier to just include the Princess of Cannock in the character list of the Dragon Quest II page and mention her in the Prince of Cannock's page, especially if she plays so little a role that she's nearly as remarkable as a town resident.--PantheonSasuke 15:02, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Names

In the NES 'Dragon Warrior II' release, she is referred to as Princess Halla by the guard NPC outside of her room at Cannock: 'That is the chamber of Prince [name]'s sister, Princess Halla.' It would be good to include this information in the article somewhere in the future. I was hesitant to add it myself because I'm unsure of the formatting etiquette, though. --Mitsukara 19:56, September 23, 2025 (UTC)

Interesting. May I ask if you had known this information first-hand or did you learn this information from another person? Heroman12 (talk) 00:27, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Old names can be added to the info block by placing |Old=Princess Halla within it and it'll appear under the romaji line. Do you happen to have a screenshot of the guard saying her name though? I've never heard of her having a name in the old localization. (Follower of Light (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2025 (UTC))
