[edit] Little Nemo comics

In the comics, the Princess's character is very prominent and is always referred to as "the Princess". Nemo has been summoned to be her official playmate. Nemo was picked by the Princess to be the playmate and then was summoned by King Morpheus, under the Princess's influence. In the adventure Nemo takes throughout the comics, it takes him several weeks to meet up with her finally, as he keeps waking up and starting his adventure from where he last stopped off. It is important for Nemo to be her playmate as she is lonely and has no one to play with. Even at one point, before Nemo meets the Princess, Doctor Pill says that if she doesn't have a playmate soon, she will vanish into nothingness. There is also a romance between her and Nemo in the comics, despite their being so young.
