Inspector Prince

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inspector Prince is a character from the series Go Go Gadgetini's. She is the Co-worker and Girlfriend of Inspector Gadget(Now Lieutenant.) and is very clever, artistic, but also rather clumsy on occasion. She loves to drink coffee and when out and about she will sometimes drag Gadget into various coffee shops.

Her appearance is rather interesting. She has purple hair, piercing blue eyes and wears a red, long coat tied around the middle with a belt of the same colour. She may therefore be intended as a parody or a homage to Motoko Kusanagi, the main character of the anime Ghost in the Shell. She wears a red beanie hat and blue jeans. However, towards the end of the series, due to her promotion, her outfit changed to a pure white knee length jacket, a white hat similar to Gadget's and instead of wearing her blue sneakers, she dumped them for smart-looking black boots.

Just like her partner, she has gadgets of her own. They are kept neatly inside the navy, grey and beige backpack that she carries around everywhere. Thankfully, her gadgets do not malfunction and when Inspector Gadget gets into a pickle with his, she usually comes to his rescue. She is also quick-witted, solving things without the aid of Penny.

Go Go Gadgetini's featured Digit and Fidgit, the two teenage robots, built by Penny, that took the place of the now retired Brain. Inspector Prince has her own, too. Data and Scooter, the two female teenage robots that are required to work along side her and Gadget to help in their cases. Data and Fidgit hit it off, forming a close friendship from the word go, but Inspector Prince (Not to mention, Penny) encountered a problem regarding Scooter and Digit. The two bots became fierce rivals as soon as they met and through the series the pair are always trying to upstage each other.

Inspector Gadget and Inspector Prince became somewhat close towards the start/middle of the Go Go Gadgetini's series forming a boyfriend/girlfriend bond. Although not the main feature, the romance between the two has become one of the most talked about features of every Gadget creation. Fans seem to have mixed emotions on the matter. One group feeling it ruins the whole idea behind Inspector Gadget and the other group loving the change for making Gadget seem a whole lot more human. However, Prince was later revealed to have been engaged to a M.A.D agent... the tall, skinny, long nosed 'Agent Dick' (pictured right.)

But, due to a strange bout of memory loss, Prince forgot about him until later on in the series.

She and her two female Gadgetini's (Data and Scooter), are voiced by Deborah Taylor, who also did the voice of Axel Alloy from RDS' Animé Doonys, Merry-Go-Round Mouse from the cartoon Billy's Mice and Cindy from the series More of Mandy.)
