Himeko Shirogane (白金姫子 Shirogane Himeko), Princess Morbucks in the English dub, is a recurring character in Powerpuff Girls Z. After being hit by a black light, she sometimes turns into the monster Princess (Japanese: プリンセス Purinsesu).

Biography[]

She is in the same school as Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru (the Powerpuff Girls Z). In this series, Himeko is 13 years old. Himeko was struck by black light, which makes her eyes, hair, and tights change. Once she is back to normal however, she does not recall any events that occurred while she was Princess. She initially has a strong hatred for Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru, trying to get them into trouble even when she is not Princess. However, Himeko becomes friendlier toward them as time goes on. Himeko has an older sister named Miko (Duchess Morbucks in the English dub), who is their parents' favorite child. Unlike in the original cartoon series, both of her parents' faces are shown.

Personality[]

Unlike her 1998 series counterpart, Himeko does not specifically want to become a member of the main superhero team; rather, she merely wishes that people would pay more attention to her. This motive is caused by Himeko's parents favoring Miko, her sister, over Himeko herself. Thus, it can be said that this version of Princess is, to an extent, sympathetic. She gradually befriends the main trio as well.

Appearance[]

She has a similar hairstyle as the original Morbucks, but it is brown. She has red-pinkish eyes with white stars, and freckles on her face. Her main outfit is a puffy-shaped purple dress which has a light purple bow on the waist and a green flower brooch, her dark red patent leather Mary Jane shoes and white tights. She wears a crown, and a band on her neck.

In her alter-ego form, she has red puffy afro hair, yellow spiral eyes and black tights.

Powers and Abilities[]

Her powers are based on her desire to be noticed by people.

She has a cat named Sapphire, whose scream causes Himeko's transformation.

In the episode "Friends in High Places", she has the ability to breathe in space.
