The Princess of Moonbrooke is one of the main characters of Dragon Quest II.

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[edit | edit source]

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, short lavender boots, and carrying a wand topped with a red crystal. Her eye colour changes between lavender, red, and blue, as well, though many modern appearances depict her with red eyes. 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.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line[edit | edit source]

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 Ra's Mirror 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[edit | edit source]

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 equip any shields. She joins the party equipped only with Plain clothes and a Cypress stick and does not have much in the way of Attack or Defence. Remake versions of the game mitigate this by improving the Attack bonuses on the wands she can equip.

Names[edit | edit source]

Her name and stats are determined by the name the player chooses for the Hero. The Princess' name is selected from a list of eight names. They are Maria, Elani, Ollisa, Roz, Kailin, Peta, Illyth, and Gwen.
In the Game Boy Color version, her possible names are: Erin, Mary, Nana, Beth, Fran, Gwen, Lynn, and Sara. Her name can be changed manually by putting in a code at the title screen.
In the smartphone and Nintendo Switch versions, her possible names are no longer based on the Hero's name and instead is chosen randomly. The names are: Eileen, Elaine, Fleurette, Ginny, Isolde, Lynda, Maria and Peronel. It can also be manually entered at the beginning of the game.
The Japanese options for her name are Eileen (アイリン), Akina (あきな), Samantha (サマンサ), Nana (ナナ), Pudding (プリン), Maiko (まいこ), Maria (マリア), and Linda (リンダ).
The official Japanese CD theater drama calls her Nana, which is one of her default names. The novel switches things up by calling her Seria, a name not found in the game.
In Fortune Street, her name is Princessa or Pudding. In Dragon Quest IX, her name is Princessa.
Dragon Quest of the Stars refers to her as Pudding again.
In the Japanese version of Tact, her name is Pudding, while the English version calls her Peronel.
In Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, Peronel is her default name once again or the player can manually enter her name at the beginning of the game.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

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 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.

A statue representing the princess is Treasure No. 331,, with a base value of 1,200,000.

Dragon Quest of the Stars[edit | edit source]
