List of Earthworm Jim Characters - Princess What's-Her-Name

In the original Earthworm Jim video game, Princess What's-Her-Name appeared only briefly. In the ending scene, after defeating Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, Jim meets her and instantly falls in love. However, as he approaches her, the cow that was launched in New Junk City lands on her, crushing her. Jim leaves the scene, notably disappointed. Eventually, the ground where the Princess and the cow are cracks, making them both fall down into the lava beneath. Jim then makes a final appearance and greedily snatches the Princess' crown, which fell off when the cow landed on her.

The Princess played more of a role in the game's sequel Earthworm Jim 2. She is kidnapped by Psy-Crow, who desires to marry the Princess. In the final stage of the game, Jim and Psy-Crow race each other to the altar to wed the Princess.

Within the animated series Princess What's-Her-Name was born the twin sister of Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. While the Queen looks more like a traditional insect, the Princess has much more of a human form. As such, in their royal family, the Queen was favored as beautiful, while the Princess was seen as hideous. As such, 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 monarchy and her tyrant sister, contrary to the more "helpless" character seen in the video games.

While Jim appeared to be harboring the delusion that they were romantically involved, the Princess appeared to be oblivious to his advances. However, during the second season the Princess did appear to soften to Jim.

Her voice was provided by Kath Soucie.
