Princess Genevieve (The 12 Dancing Princesses)

## Princess Genevieve

**Princess Genevieve** is the main protagonist in *Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses*. She's the seventh daughter to King Randolph and the late Queen Isabella's twelve daughters. Genevieve loves her family, and like her sisters, she loves to dance. She is portrayed by Barbie and her voice is provided by Kelly Sheridan.

## Story

Genevieve along with her eleven sisters: Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Hadley, Isla, Janessa, Kathleen, and Lacey all live in a castle together with their widowed father, King Randolph.

When their father's evil cousin, Duchess Rowena, arrives at their home and tries to take over the whole kingdom by killing the King, Genevieve, her sisters, and Derek, the royal shoe cobbler must all work together to defeat her.

## Personality

Genevieve is shown to be a fearless, hopeful girl, whom her younger sister Lacey admires. The two of them share a special relationship, because Genevieve takes risks to help Lacey out. She always tells Lacey, "There's a difference, only (she) can make." Genevieve has high logic and strategy skills, seeing she can beat her father at chess, and out of all her sisters, she is the best dancer. However, one of Genevieve's flaws is that she is often late. When the other princesses mention Genevieve's romantic feelings towards Derek, the royal shoe cobbler, she's quick to deny them and gets shy, but their feelings grew stronger for each other and they fall in love and get married at the end of the movie.

## Physical Appearance

Princess Genevieve is a 16 year-old teenage girl with light skin, deep blue almost violet eyes, and long blonde hair. It's styled differently from her other sisters. Her hair is braided. It is tied with dark pink bands and a bow at the top. When dancing in the pavilion on the 2nd and 3rd night, her hair is put up like her sisters. She also wears glossy pink lipstick and white eyeshadow.

Her casual gown is a dark pink and white gown. The top part of the dress is white, while the rest is dark pink. In the beginning, the top part has a pink rose flower and some decorations. Her nightgown is simple, it is long and white, with puffy shoulders.

Her ballet dress is the same style as her casual attire, but it is shorter and tutu-like. The dresses that Duchess Rowena gives to all the princesses are gray and simple. They have the same design as Genevieve's casual attire, but without the decorations and details.

Her wedding gown is white and long, with medium-long sleeves with sparkly net material over it and a light pink underskirt. Her hairstyle is down and wavy, reusing Princess Anneliese's hairstyle.
