(Princess Fin)
Quote-deco


Princess Fin is the daughter of King Angler. She acts as Ambassador of the Gillfolk and protector of the Emblem of Ocean while it is located in the White City. She proudly returns to Submeria with the Emblem alongside the Knights of Arcadia to return it to its Beacon. Ootheca, however, is destroyed during the Catastrophe shortly after and she carries the Emblem into their Royal Palace. When King Angler dies, she delivers him a mourning gift from a mysterious caped man, which freezes the entire palace and Princess Fin herself for a thousand years. She is finally rescued and unfrozen by the Kid. In gratitude she hands over the Emblem of Ocean and promises to rebuilt the world alongside the Arcadians.

Appearance[]

Deep-cove-princess-fin

Princess Fin is a red Gillwoman with black eyes. She appears in both Monster of Uncharted Seas and Knights of the Lost Realm with a few design differences.

OH - Notable for the Gillfolk design of this game, she has golden crests that curve around her head and around her neck. The spots on her skin are bright. Unlike the other blue Gillfolk, Princess Fin has more pronounced breasts.

OH2 - The golden crests are gone and have been replaced with a golden necklace and a few smaller fins/crests of red color along her head. She also has two larger appendixes on her chest covering her breasts. She was also given a white thin shawl that is attached to her necklace, flowing around her back at the height of her upper thighs.

She is the only Gillfolk in OH2 to have the visible second pair of eyes at the side of her head.

Personality[]

Princess Fin is a joyful young gillwoman who loves her home, the paradise of Submeria, a lot.[1][2] She is a great believer of God Trito and considers the return of the Emblem of Ocean to Ootheca paramount.[3][4][5]

She is not afraid to make decisions on her own nor having to deal with the consequences of the same.[3][4] In return, she is very understanding and forgiving towards Steelscale and the Gillfolk who meddled with Ootheca.[6] However, she takes great care for appropriate behaviour and has Steelscale apologize for his actions against those that offered their help.[5]

She is describes as brave and always just in her decisions by other Gillfolk.[7]

Princess Fin is a very grateful person, assuring Arcadia the help of the Gillfolk against Mesmeroth's Dark Army.[8] She is also a very trusting person, as she hands over the Emblem of Ocean to an Arcadian boy for the shared goal of a restored world.[9]

Synopsis[]

History[]

When Archimedes takes in interest in the Sacred Emblems,[10] it is decided that the Emblem of Ocean is being taken to the White City. Princess Fin accompanies the Emblem to the White City to look after the Emblem.[11]

Pre-Catastrophe[]

After two decades of studying the Emblems, Archimedes is ready to send them back to where they belong. While Princess Fin is eager to return home with the Emblem,[12] she is waiting for the Knights to return the Emblem of Earth first, as the situation in Pirta is not as stable as it is in Submeria.[13]

When the Knights return from their first mission, Princess Fin meets them one morning at the White City Airport. She is introduced to everyone by Master Mayfair.[14] They board Yellow Bird together and set their destination for Submeria. Princess Fin is happy to talk about her home[1][15] and they agree to land directly on top of the Beacon.[16] They find the pedestal for the Emblem inactive, however, and so Princess Fin suggests to seek council from her kinsmen[17] and the group moves down into the Great Lagoon. Princess Fin takes a couple of minutes to enjoy the beauty of Submeria after her long absence but catches up with the Knights when they reach Gillfolk's Grotto.[2]

The Gillfolk are surprised to see their princess[18] and become flustered when she asks about Ootheca.[19][20] They explain the situation and Princess Fin insists that the Knights proceed with their mission to return the Emblem.[21][3] She reassures them that she will deal with Steelscale and her father later[4] and remains behind while the Knights continue their mission. Once Yurmala is defeated and the pedestal active again, Princess Fin places the Emblem of Ocean back onto its pedestal on top of the Submerian Beacon.

Later on the beach, Princess Fin has Steelscale apologize to the Arcadian Knights for his behaviour.[5] Furthermore, she promises the support of the Gillfolk to Arcadia in the face of the threat posed by the Dark Army and Mesmeroth.[8]

After the Catastrophe and the destruction of Ootheca, Princess Fin carries the Emblem of Ocean through Gillfolk's Grotto to their Royal Palace.

Post-Catastrophe[]

The frozen Princess Fin.

A short time after that King Angler passes away. Princess Fin receives a funeral gift from a man in dark cape.[22] When she placed it by her father's feet, the curse froze the entire palace, including the princess herself.[23] She remains frozen for a thousand years until one day, the Kid arrives to Gillfolk's Drop in search of the Emblem of Ocean. He approaches the frozen gillwoman and frees her using the Fire Spell. She awakens and is instantly tossed aside by the reanimated corpse of her father.

Fin unfrozen, Angler awakes

Fin about to be attacked by her father.

Princess Fin regains consciousness after the battle in a confused state.[24] The Old Gillman reassures her that it was not her father[25][26] and explains the circumstances. Princess Fin gratefully offers a reward to the Kid for his actions[27] and gladly places the Emblem of Ocean into the Kid's care.[9]

Princess Fin joins her people again and expresses hope for the future of Gaia once Oceanhorn is slain.[28] Even if it may take a while, Princess Fin will become Queen of the Gillfolk and return to the throne of the Royal Palace.[29]

Tarock Card Description[]

Tarock-princessfin

"Heir to the Kingdom - Princess Fin is the daughter of King Angler, ruler of all Gillfolk. She's currently an ambassador on behalf of Submeria, one the most significant Gillfolk settlements. Her help and friendship are instrumental in entering Ootheca, the Submerian Beacon, and restoring the Emblem of Ocean to its rightful place."


Trivia[]

  • Princess Fin's voice actor in OH2, Julia McIlvaine, is the wife of Ray Chase, the voice actor of Mesmeroth. Quite ironically, they do not speak to each other at all in-game.
  • Princess Fin is the only character to appear in both games, Knights of the Lost Realm and Monster of Uncharted Seas, as her own self (not counting Mesmeroth, who lost his mortal body between OH2 and OH).
