I really appreciate all the good you've done for this land! Thank you!

— The Princess

The Princess is a Hardmode, post-Plantera NPC vendor who sells royal-themed vanity items and furniture, and is typically the final town NPC that the player encounters. She will move in once the following criteria have been met:

• There is an available vacant house.
• All other town NPCs (not including Santa Claus or town pets) are present, meaning that she can only move in after defeating Plantera, which is also the condition for the Cyborg to move in.

These requirements only apply to the initial spawning. If the Princess is killed, she will automatically respawn after some time.

The Princess will attack nearby enemies with the Resonance Scepter, for which she has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of dropping upon death if the current world is in Hardmode.

Items sold

Note: All item prices can be decreased by equipping a Discount Card or Greedy Ring(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). Prices can also be higher or lower based on the NPC's happiness level.

Living preferences

The Princess is unique in that she does not have any biome or neighbor preferences. She loves up to three NPCs that live nearby and is liked by all NPCs around her.

She also hates being lonely and her unhappiness is maxed to 150% if she is not surrounded by at least 2 other NPCs within 25 tiles, or 2 other NPCs that are between 25 and 120 tiles away.

Shimmered form

Shimmered Princess

When submerged in Shimmer, the Princess will transform into her Shimmered form. This has no impact on gameplay or dialogue and is only a visual change. She can be returned to her classic look by submerging her in Shimmer again.

Trivia

• Five of the Princess's names are Japanese, each of which have different meanings:
  • Ai translates to "love" (愛).
  • Hikari translates to "light" (光).
  • Hime translates to "princess" (姫).
  • Momo translates to "peach" (桃). Based on the translation, the name "Princess Momo" means "Princess Peach".
  • Yuuki translates to "courage" or "bravery" (勇気).
• "Like my dress? Gee, thanks! Just sewed it." is a reference to a similar lyric from the song "7 Rings" by Ariana Grande.
• Some of the Princess's names are references to characters from popular culture:
  • Alice from the 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
  • Ariel from the 1989 American animated musical fantasy movie The Little Mermaid.
  • Belle from the 1991 American animated musical romantic fantasy movie Beauty and the Beast.
  • Charlotte from the Japanese seinen manga series Berserk.
  • Emilia from the 2014 Japanese light novel series Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.
  • (Cure) Flora from the 2015 Japanese magical girl anime series Go! Princess PreCure.
  • Peach (Momo; see above) and Rosetta (the Japanese name of Rosalina) from the Japanese media franchise Mario.
    • Rosetta could also reference the 2008 American computer animated movie Tinker Bell.
  • Sofia from the 2013 American animated children's television series Sofia the First.
• The Princess has the chance to share the name Faye with the Dryad.
• One of the Princess' possible names is Yorai, named after Yoraiz0r, one of the lead developers of Terraria.
• The Princess is implied to be a child. Similar to the Angler, her sprite is shorter than most other NPCs' sprites, and they share the same death message.
• The Princess has a happiness quote for herself: "<name of Princess> is a little unsettling to be around, but terribly cute!". This quote cannot be legitimately seen in-game, since it requires two copies of the same NPCs to be alive at once.
• Her quote calling the Truffle a "fun guy" plays on the homophone for fungi.
• The quote, "The stars at night remind me of glitter on a beautiful, black dress. I shall soon have one made!" could be a reference to her Shimmered form which was added after she was introduced.
• Along with the Traveling Merchant, Zoologist, Steampunker, and Cyborg, she is among a small group of NPCs who sell a new item post-Moon Lord. The Princess's item is a Music Box (which requires the player to defeat the Moon Lord during Hardmode).

• The Bestiary entry for the Princess: "Shy and innocent, this happy young lady sees the positive in everything, and everybody. She appreciates all of her subjects, from all walks of life."
