Ballerina Princess

The Ballerina Princess (also known as the Ballerina of the RealmsThe Nutcracker and the Four Realms: The Secret of the Realms (pg. 139)) is a character in the 2018 Disney film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
==Background==
According to Sugar Plum while watching the ballet, she explains to Clara that the ballet tells the story of the Four Realms with the Ballerina Princess representing her mother Marie Stahlbaum's discovery of the Four Realms. At the end of the ballet, she was praised with joyful cheers for her amazing performance done during the ballet. Not much of her personality is known as she does not speak, aside from being a joyful dancer, hence her name.
==Role in the film==
As Clara is presented as the Princess of the Palace of the Four Realms and just as Clara, Phillip, and the Regents take their seats to watch the story of the Four Realms, the Ballerina Princess dances across the stage. Sugar Plum explains to Clara that the ballet tells the story of the Four Realms and how her mother discovered the Four Realms prior to her death as the Ballerina dances through scenes representing the Land of Flowers, the Land of Snowflakes, the Land of Sweets, and the Land of Amusements (the area where Marie had her troubles at before her death). As the Ballerina is at the scene representing the Fourth Realm, she retreats from the dancers representing the Mouse King and his henchmen. After the scene, the Ballerina performs pirouettes in solo while Sugar Plum explains that Mother Ginger was the one who began the war with the Four Realms, just as the ballet ends with the Ballerina dancing with background sets of the Lands of Flowers, Snowflakes, and Sweets behind her. After the ballet, the Ballerina Princess and the rest of the dancers receive a large applause from everyone who was watching the ballet (including Clara herself), as she and the dancers are praised by a satisfied audience. She is not seen again afterwards.
