The China Princess is the ruler of the Dainty China Country.
In Dorothy of Oz, Dorothy finds the China Princess in Princess Gaylette's bedroom while searching for Princess Gaylette. The China Princess tells Dorothy that the Jester captured her and brought her here. The China Princess also tells Dorothy that the Jester was the one responsible for making Princess Gaylette and everyone else in her kingdom disappear upon using the Wicked Witch of the West's wand where it's evil took over him. When Dorothy and the China Princess return to the castle's great hall, they found that the Jester had turned Toto into a china doll. When Dorothy convinces Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion to accompany her to Glinda's castle, she also brings the China Princess with her to return her to the Dainty China Country along the way. After making it to the Dainty China Country, Dorothy places the China Princess down as she thanks Dorothy for returning her to the Dainty China Country. After speaking with Glinda, Dorothy returns to the Dainty China Country and has the China Princess assemble her craftsmen to make a life-size china doll of Glinda as well as Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.
The China Princess will appear in the Dorothy of Oz film (based on the book) voiced by Megan Hilty.

Famous quotes containing the words china and/or princess:
“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“At the next town
the local princess was having a contest.
A common way for princesses to marry.
Fifty men had perished,
gargling the sea like soup.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
