**Princess Lorena of the Pastel Kingdom** is the middle daughter of King Jack. She is the strongest and most athletic out of all her siblings. Just like her siblings Princess Maria and Prince Jamie, she possesses great beauty, so much so it makes flowers bloom around her.

## Appearance

Lorena and Maria are modeled on "stereotypical 90s shoujo anime girls", as said by LambCat in an interview. Although her 'anime girl' looks is more tomboyish type if compared with Maria whose graceful one, as she dubbed to be "warrior princess". Lorena takes after her father, and due to her beauty, she has flowers constantly appear around her.

Lorena has soft, wavy, lavender hair. It is shoulder-length, and her fringe is in a textured cut. Like her father, she too has bright blue eyes. As Pastel Royal Kids, she shown to wear the most variant of outfits compared to other characters associates. Her wardrobe varies, like her siblings' - it's shown that she mostly wears purple or pink dresses (her color motif). Although she wears a variety of clothing, what makes her stand out is that she often wears pink and purple, occasionally with a floral theme. Some accessories she has worn includes a pink pearl necklace, a heart locket, and most commonly; a flower crown consists of several tiny pink flowers (during Season 4 part 2, it shown that the size of flowers grow bigger) with pale green leaves accompany it, and connected with a plant vine with the pale green color.

In the infobox's image of her "photo profile" face, she shows to wear a simple light lavender shirt that parted with dark red bands as well a skirt with flowers pattern of pale pink and brown color. She's introduced, as well during the entire of Invasion arc to wear nightwear outfit which consist of a sleeveless pale pink dress tipped with white fluffs that parted at the middle with two buttons with inner pale purple shirt - she uses a matching pair of sandals, but when fighting the Plaid Kingdom soldiers she shown to wear a pair of black boots with shoelace and a pair of white socks. For her "half body", she is wearing a seaweed green stahlhelm helmet (based on the outward curves) with a yellow star on the middle; the image comes from Episode 76. Her gala outfit is inspired with the tale of Thumbellina, a flower based costume with organza fabric for the train to be attached with flowers that she can grows on - as well a pairs of red shoes with green vines linking her legs.

## Personality

Just like the rest of her family, Lorena is compassionate and amiable as well as fiercely loyal. She even tries to befriend Suzanna, despite the latter's clear resentment towards her because of her engagement to Prince Lance. She can sometimes be naive, and often uses less 'sophisticated' language than a typical royal. Lorena's strong, and tends to do things without thinking, but is usually well-meaning. Her go-getter attitude, military brain, and raw strength make Lorena a force to be reckoned with. Her motivation to become strong is to protect those around her, most likely always feeling helpless due to her father keeping her within the castle all her life. Exercising is a part of Lorena's morning routine; when she's stressed about her engagement, she opts to take a jog. Her public mask is the cool, warrior princess that's adoring all of her family members especially Gwendolyn - while her hidden mask is the hard headed girl that could easily hurts if people not acknowledging her dream and strength.

Lorena was described by Molly as not being able to find her way through a book. Instead, she has been trained privately in her home about military and combat strategies since she was young. Lorena is a tactile-kinesthetic learner; she can pick up physical movements and timing very quickly, and is has excellent motor coordination. When she was challenged to a fencing match by Suzanna, despite not understanding how the sport worked being first timer complete amateur, she almost managed to win by thinking of her sabre as an extension of her fist. Instead of discouraging her, Lorena's loss only fueled her excitement of discovering a new sport; throughout the series, she talks about wanting to duel Suzanna. Lorena loves sports and can be very intense about them; her competitive nature carrying onto the Pastel Family's board game nights. The example is during "the resource monopoly card" at Episode 76, she's gleefully taking Turkish Delight as her winning prizes. She's also has hidden violence personality, like interested with 'adult violent' version of Fairy Tales that established at Episode 7 - the Amusement Park (triple?) Royal Dates makes her interest with 'violent' clowns grows to the point her eyes strained with glee of excitement and even foaming multiple times at Bippity Bop Gala.

Lorena shown to physically attracted to Lance as after Jamie's Wake she tells that she wishes to be the pies so could be eaten by Lance. She is bold enough to kissing Lance on the cheek at Episode 103 in front of many people including Suzanna (who gots horrified that making Lorena/Lance Relationship closer) while also inspiring Maria to make Maria/Blaine Relationship closer (although failed). Lorena seems to be interested with girls too as she gives ambiguous asks for favors to Suzanna as well as amazed with Prez (Calpernia) fighting power - including the cursed form of giant spider. Lorena is compassionate person like the rest of her family, but also the one that most hard headed in the independence of didn't want another people (especially males) in her life - so for protecting the ones that she hold dears make her to not hesitate to attacking contenders with anything, be it verbally (by calling Frederick a monster or Lance as a coward) or physically (by violently attacks Plaid Kingdom's soldiers).

## History

Lorena was the second child of King Jack and Queen Lilyth of the Pastel Kingdom, the middle child of the family. Even with the first few seconds of her birth, her beauty was so strong that she summoned flower petals in the room out of seemingly nowhere, as noticed by her father. Sadly, she lost her mother when she was young, three years after the birth of her younger siblings, twins Prince James and Princess Gwendolyn. She and her sisters were doted by their overprotective father, King Jack, who forbade even the male guards from making eye-contact with the princesses. She, along with her sisters, were hidden from the public eye where she trained in combat and military strategies with a private tutor. Each of her sisters took on an ambition, hers being combat. Lorena has the ability to manifest flowers and plants wherever she goes.

## Relationships

#### Lance

*Main article: Lorena/Lance Relationship*
Lorena is engaged to Prince Lance, and though she was willing to cut ties with him in the beginning if any of the Plaid Princes insulted or harmed Princess Gwendolyn in any manner, they are very much in love. She also loved him purely based on his looks at first. They are very similar, both being not as intelligent as their siblings and liking sports. When Lance asked Lorena out to the gala after she discovered the ticket in her popcorn, she accepted the invitation. Though Lorena seemed shocked after Lance expressed that he agreed with her father about commanding the military to be too dangerous and that her military studies should simply be a hobby, she admitted to him that she may have been blindly confident and that she was not that decent at it since she still couldn’t understand the advanced defensive strategies in her textbook. Once Lance said that he would go over the defensive strategies in her textbook with her, she gladly accepted, even though neither of them could comprehend the textbook. Even though Lance is her fiancé, Lorena came to hug Suzanna instead of Lance at Gwendolyn's Dinner Party. She also remarked that Lance couldn't give her what she needed, which was help and support on her learning the art of defense, so she barely hung out with him at the party. After Lance apologized to Lorena about what he said to her about her dreams and inquired if she resented him for it, she told him that it was okay, and that she understood why. She also said that Suzanna helped her realize that everyone is always making their own tough decisions to protect what they care about, and that she would also protect Lance to prove to him everything she just said. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek.

#### Suzanna

Lorena believes she is best friends with Suzanna, though the feeling is not mutual due to Suzanna's romantic interests in Lance. The two met at Lance's birthday party, and ended up having a fencing match, which Lorena somehow won. She was happy to see Suzanna again at Princess Gwendolyn's Gwendolyn's Dinner Party, and hugged her instead of Lance. She hung out with her at the dinner party, and later asked her to accompany her somewhere, which ended up with the two fencing in Lorena's newly-converted fencing room. Lorena asked Suzanna to teach her the art of defense because her final class project was supposed to be about the art of defense, but she was still not grasping something about it. So, she decided to ask Suzanna for help, because she was a champion fencer who was praised for her defensive strategies. Since both her father and Lance didn't think she had the potential to lead the military and protect her kingdom, Lorena wanted to show them and herself that she can do it. After it turned out Suzanna agreed with them, Lorena was disappointed; however, after Suzanna stated that it was because she thought Lorena is naive, and offered to help her experience what it's like to choose to continue to fight in order to protect what she holds dearest, Lorena gladly accepted. Later, Lorena told Lance that Suzanna helped her realize that everyone is always making their own tough decisions to protect what they care about.

#### Gwendolyn

Lorena has a close relationship with Princess Gwendolyn as her older sister, and she and Maria were willing to cut ties with the Plaid Princes in the beginning for her sake. A reason Lorena allowed the wedding to be pushed back was so Gwendolyn could give Prince Frederick a chance and possibly realize her feelings for him. Lorena also called Gwendolyn the "crafty one" and thought she was awesome. After she ate one of Gwen's dishes, she remarked that she didn't know that "vegetables could taste like heaven" . After it was revealed that the Plaid maids did Gwendolyn's makeup horribly at Prince Lance's birthday party, making her look like a vampire clown, Lorena asked them why they would cover up Gwendolyn's face with all the "weird stuff". She and Maria then proceeded to do her makeup instead, and they supported her when they looked in the mirror to see how she looked. When Frederick asked Gwendolyn out to the gala, Lorena was happy that he kept it a surprise, but was disappointed when Frederick took back the gala ticket after Gwen handed it back, thinking it was an "important bookmark". When Lorena saw that Frederick finally asked her to the gala, she was extremely happy for her, and went to greet the guests with her. She was also proud of Gwendolyn when she gave her toast at the dinner party, and told Suzanna that she did well.

#### Maria

Princess Maria is Lorena's elder sister and they have a close relationship. They often do things for Gwendolyn together, including her makeup at Prince Lance's birthday party. Lorena has acknowledged Maria as the "graceful one". Of all the siblings, Maria and Lorena are seen together the most. Both of their bright and excitable personalities mesh together well, and are very passionate about what they love. Lorena is often involved with Maria's schemes, such as the *Princesses Not Prisoners* protest, and frequently team up to rally against their father. They both are equally protective of their sister Gwendolyn. Maria is the person that Lorena listens quickly, so when Maria tells the one that makes Invasion rescue team come to helps them because got warned by Frederick simply because Frederick truly loves Gwen - Lorena relents and becomes surprised instead as realizing why she's "blind" of it.

#### Jamie

Lorena and Jamie often exist in the same space and primarily interact in a group setting. Jamie cares for Lorena like he does with the rest of her sisters. When a wake is held for Jamie and becomes a cause for the Plaid Princes to stay at the kingdom longer, Lorena pumps her fist and says "We owe ya one, Jamie boy.". Lorena and Jamie are somewhat similar in demeanor (Lorena's struggle with reading social cues ex. Suzanna, and Jamie's tendency to blurt out the emotions conveyed in food is one example), and both quite knowledgeable when it comes to their respective passions. Interestingly, when Lorena expresses interest in taking over their family's military, Jack tells her he'd prefer the role to go to Jamie instead. Lorena shows to be worry with Jamie, like asking about his condition after passed out at Jamie's Wake.

#### Jack

Jack's protectiveness over his daughters includes Lorena. Due to his frequent absence from home, Jack tries to make up for it by spending as much time as he can with his kids at home, board game nights being a tradition in their family. When Lorena expresses her interest in combat and military, Jack dismisses it as a "little hobby", crushing Lorena's feelings.

#### Lilyth

Lorena was only four years old when Lilyth passed away, but it’s shown in flashbacks that Lilyth truly loved her, kissing her goodbye after accepting a witch’s magic deal that would make so that she could still see her children grow up.

#### Frederick

Lorena and Frederick interact few times. Most notably, when Frederick arrives at the Pastel Palace after the incident with Monika, Lorena asks him "Didn't you already pee?" when he requests to use the bathroom. Due to Blaine's misinformation, Lorena thought that Frederick was late for that reason. Otherwise, Lorena was fairly amicable to Frederick during the "engagement" period, up until the Waffle Note Incident at the Bibbidi Bop Gala revealing how he had thought Gwen was ugly upon first meeting her. After that, learning that Lance had covered it up, Lorena developed a hatred towards Frederick for thinking so lowly of her beloved little sister.

#### Molly

Molly is Lorena's maid; every morning, she takes care of all the plants that grow at Lorena's bed. Having served the Pastel Family for a long time, Molly is familiar with Lorena's strengths and weaknesses. She cares deeply for the family: fighting to protect them and reminding the Pastel Children to have pride in who they are during Lance's Birthday Party and the Invasion. Molly's reminder to be confident with herself is the reason for Lorena to could grows flowers as power by will.

#### Miss Agatha

Miss Agatha puts up with Lorena. When Agatha suggests that Lorena writes a letter to her prince, Lorena declares her a genius. Agatha encourages her proactive attitude. However, she does not encourage the destruction of Lorena's math textbook by the latter's own hand.

#### Prez (Calpernia)

When Prez shows off her combat prowess, Lorena begins to admire her. Prez turns into a giant spider, which makes Lorena think she's *even cooler*.
