Thermidora

* Cursed
* Lobster

**Princess Thermidora of the Lobster Kingdom** is a member of the Cursed Princess Club.

## Appearance

Before she was cursed, Thermidora was a pinkish-red lobster. She had two short eyelashes on each eye, and she wore a four-pointed black tiara.

In her cursed human body, Thermidora retains her lobster pinches. She now has red hair tied up into a formal bun and black eyes. She has a small beauty mark on her left cheek, and she wears red lipstick. Thermidora's outfit consists of an orange and white gilded dress, adorned with a small gold seashell on the chest. She completes her outfit with a pair of black high heels, a black tiara that appears to be the same one she wore as a lobster, though much longer and thinner, a necklace made of black beads, and a pair of intricately designed black earrings. Her nightgown is long and the same color as her typical dress, but it's lined with white frills, has straps, and a red bow adorns the chest instead of a seashell. She wears blue hair curlers to curl up her hair.

## Personality

Thermidora is caring towards her clubmates, and has a flair for the dramatic. She seems to believe her lobster body was much better than her "hideous" human body and is somewhat clueless about some human things. She wishes to head back into the sea as a lobster, sings "Under the Sea" every night (which the other members think is weird), and is happy to teach lobster courting dances. She is fond of wine. She also seems to be unaware of her claws' sharpness, to Saffron's alarm, as he often is close to getting hurt by them. Her public mask is the polite 'half-human half-lobster' cursed princess that seen to offering things like wine (although on wrong time, and for minor) and her hidden mask is the one where she thinks is rude to thinks that she's a human cursed to be a lobster when the reality is the opposite.

## History

Thermidora used to be a lobster princess living in the sea and was engaged to the lobster baron Benedict. However, a sea cucumber who was jealous of their love cursed her with a human body so they could no longer see each other. The sea cucumber wasn't the best at magic, so Thermidora's pincers remained still intact. She was eventually found by Prez and became a member of the Cursed Princess Club.

## Relationships

#### Benedict

Before Thermidora was cursed, she was in love with Benedict, "the most handsome lobster baron". A sea cucumber was jealous of this (see above). She can no longer see Benedict, for she cannot breathe underwater. Thermidora later mentions that lobsters' loves are eternal, as they live well past a hundred years.

#### Gwendolyn

Thermidora takes a liking to Gwen when she joins the club. She states that Gwen is beautiful the way she is, as her hair reminds her of the seaweed from her homeland.

#### Jolie

Thermidora seems to be close friends with Jolie, as they are often seen near each other, sewing or spectating the club's antics together.

#### Syrah

Thermidora and Syrah are introduced debating wine with each other. They talk often, and occasionally sit next to each other during Prez's lectures. The debate is even manifesting in Gwen's dream, but their dream self lets Gwen to heal herself for major part of the egg.

#### Saffron

As Saffron's cursed hand misbehaved, he's roped to be dance partner for Thermidora.
