King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride - Characters

Characters

• Valanice - After her daughter disappears, Valanice ends up in the desert with nothing but Rosella's comb, which she picked up before going after her. Now the Queen of Daventry is on a quest to find her daughter, bring peace to Eldritch, and return to her kingdom.

• Rosella - Not wanting to be married, Rosella believed she saw a castle in the reflection of a lake and jumped in, appearing in the Vulcanix Underground. She now must save Eldritch, stop her marriage to the Troll King, and return home with her mother.

• Mathilde - The old nursemaid to King Otar Fenris III. She is well versed in magic potions, and uses her knowledge to turn Rosella back into a human. She activates the Dragon Toad that tells them where the real Troll King is.

• Edgar - Not seen until Chapter 6, Edgar is the Prince of Eldritch. He was corrupted by the witch, Malicia, turned into the Troll King, and took the place of the real Troll King. Edgar plays an important role towards the end of this game; when he gets hit by Malicia's magic, Rosella has a few seconds to save him (by using the life a cat gave her as a reward for helping her during the game). Depending on her actions and choices, he either dies or lives, and his parents subsequently mourn his death or celebrate his return to Etheria.

• Malicia - The main villain of the game, Malicia wants to destroy all of Etheria, a land in the clouds above Eldritch, using the power of the Volcanix Underground and especially wants to get rid of Rosella. She kidnaps King Otar Fenris III and hides him in Ooga Booga Land, and transforms Edgar into King Otar's form and brainwashes him into doing her bidding.

• Attis - Lord of the hunt, he is first seen in the game in the form of a Stag, guarding the large tree that was once Ceres, goddess of Spring.

• Archduke Fifi le YipYap - A poodle in charge of the city of Falderal. He is celebrating his birthday the day Valanice appears in his town.

• Boogeyman - He can be accepted as a villain as he tries to capture/kill Rosella. He roams all of Ooga Booga Land. He is regarded by fans as among the more fearsome creatures in the series. He appears out of the ground with a theme song that ends as he's about to attack either Valanice or Rosella, and can only be stopped if Rosella disguises herself as the weeping woman. He seems to show feelings for the weeping woman. At some point in the game, if you disguise yourself as Lady Tsepish and stay in one place too long, the Boogeyman will appear just like all the other times you decide to stay in one place, and instead of giving you ten seconds to run (or else he'll jump and land on you, killing you) he'll talk to "Lady Tsepish" and ask if she'll stop grieving over Count Tsepish and "run away" with him. Rosella/Tsepish will tell him to go away and he does - by jumping like he would when attacking the main characters.

• Dr. Mort Cadaver - The resident coroner of Ooga Booga Land, Cadaver is in charge of the health of the citizens. His patients typically have very literal diagnoses, such as a broken heart. He even gave his spine to a patient before Rosella first met him, explaining his short height and inability to fend off the local hooligans. He returns to a formidable height after Rosella finds another spine for him.

• Count Tsepish - The former lord of Ooga Booga Land, Count Vladimir Tsepish was beheaded by Malicia and cursed to fly the skies on his horse Necromancer. The Tsepish manor was burned down, and the ghost of his dog, Black Valiant, remains to guard it. Valanice must break the curse on Count Tsepish by retrieving his head and giving it back to him. If Queen Valanice stands on the path near Count Tsephish's grave for too long, he will fly by on his horse and kill her by running her over.

• Lady Tsepish - The grieving widow of Count Tsepish, former lord of the land of Ooga Booga. Her face is unseen by the player, though if your character speaks to her, she will show them her face, which is so horrific it causes the character to die of fright (Unless Rosella is disguised as Lady Tsepish at the time). When Rosella visits Dr. Cadaver disguised as Lady Tsepish, he mentions having to replace her eyes, as she had "cried her eyes out" before. According to Black Valiant, the Tsepish's dog, she was once the most beautiful woman in all of Eldritch.
