Princess What's-Her-Name
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess What's-Her-Name is a fictional character from the Earthworm Jim video games and animated series.
[edit] Video games
In the original Earthworm Jim video game the Princess appeared only briefly throughout the whole game, but played an important role in the game's sequel Earthworm Jim 2. In this game she is kidnapped by Psy-Crow and is the cause of the games events. Originally, little was known about her other than the fact that she enjoyed frivolous things such as "space cars".
[edit] Animated series
Within the animated series Princess What's-her-name was born the twin sister of Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. But unlike her "beautiful" sister, the Princess was born hideously malformed, having pink skin, large eyes and long red hair.(Insektican standards of beauty being diffrent from our own.) Because of this, she was kept locked away for many years by the royal family and never given a name, being referred to only as "the ugly one" or "What's-her-name". She eventually escaped the castle and became the leader of the rebellion against the Insectikan monarchy and her tyrant sister. This Princess was a far less vacuous character, having more in common with Xena and similarly amazonic figures.
Throughout the series her relationship with Jim was more or less a professional one. Jim appeared to be harbouring the delusion that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, although the Princess appeared to be oblivious to his advances. A running gag throughout most of the series was that whenever any character asked what Jim meant by "relationship", Jim would give a hearty, if condescending laugh. She was also rather dismissive of Earth in general, noting in one episode that it contained no intelligent life. However, during the second season the Princess did appear to soften to Jim; she was apparently not above being wooed in one episode by Evil Jim, who is a more pragmatic version of his "good" counterpart.
Her voice actress was Kath Soucie
