Princess Fiona (Fiona Duloc[citation needed]) is the Princess in the films Shrek, Shrek 4-D, Shrek 2, and Shrek the Third. Actress Cameron Diaz provides her voice.
In Shrek, Lord Farquaad sends the ogre Shrek to retrieve her to be his bride. When we first meet her, she is angered to learn that her rescuer is not her Prince Charming, but an ogre, and that the man who wants to marry her wouldn't come himself. At first, she refuses to travel to Farquaad, but eventually befriends and falls in love with Shrek and Donkey. Her dragon guardian later falls in love with Donkey. Through the course of the film, we discover that she is cursed, human by day and ogress by night until the end, where she is kissed by Shrek and becomes permanently an ogress. It is revealed in a deleted scene that she was born with this condition, but drank a beauty potion to make her human self more beautiful. This was ultimately cut from the movie because it ruined the end.
In Shrek 4-D, she is kidnapped by the ghost of Lord Farquaad, who intends to kill her, marry her ghost, and become king of the Underworld. He is later 're-killed' by the Dragon which comes to their rescue.
Shrek 2 features her trying to convince Shrek to meet her parents in the kingdom of Far Far Away (resembling the shallowness of Hollywood). They go, and her Fairy Godmother, who had her locked away in the tower to begin with, plots to kill her husband so her son, Prince Charming, can marry her. It turns out that there was a semi-complex plan where the Prince Charming, not Shrek, was supposed rescue Fiona and marry her. It was the King's way of paying the Fairy Godmother for a favor she had done for him in his youth.
Princess Fiona is initially portrayed as the archetypal princess from fairy tales, speaking formally in matters of courtship and presenting high expectations of how she is to be rescued, who is to rescue her, and so forth. Later, Princess Fiona's true self emerges, as she's really a very down-to-earth woman who burps, is a loyal friend, and unlike princesses of fairy tales, expertly fights in hand-to-hand combat with martial arts skills.
