 — Romi, in Marylou's Tummy Ache

**Romi** is the main protagonist of the *Catch! Teenieping* series. She is a princess from the Emotions Kingdom who settled on Earth to catch all the Teeniepings.

She is an ordinary girl living a double life in Harmony Town. Just like any other girl her age, she goes to school and spends her time with her friends. But when a Teenieping is around, she secretly transforms into a magical princess to catch them. Most people of Harmony Town do not have any idea of her double life, nor of the existence of Teeniepings or even magic. As such, she must be very careful to not reveal her secret.

## Appearance

Romi is a 13-year-old girl with light skin, pink eyes and hair. While her outfit can be easily recognized, it slightly differs each season.

### *Catch! Teenieping*

Romi's hair is arranged into a ponytail style, with pink scrunchies. She wears a white shirt with buttons and a dark scarlet pink collar with the pink border, with a pink bow ribbon holding the Magic Bell. She wears a pink skirt with a round heart polly belt pocket used to hold the Magic Catcher, and occasionally the Teeniepings. She wears long, white socks and pink shoes.

### *Twinkle Catch! Teenieping*

Her outfit is scattered with new colors and patterns: she has colorful scrunchies, and wears a celeste shirt with a white collar, holding the Charming Jewel Band. She wears a detailed pink skirt with a white melody pattern added at its bottom, as well as a new dark pink and good handbag. She also wears the same long socks from said season, and new celeste sneakers.

### Season 3

Her hair changes into low pigtail style with pink plaid bow ribbons as hairties. She wears a white shirt with pink collars with the yellow pattern on the blue bows with a heart on them, and a pink plaid skirt with suspenders. She also has a squared belt handbag resembling the one from Season 1. She wears long white socks, and her shoes from Season 1 return, with blue ribbons added on them.

### Season 4

She maintains her low pigtail hairstyle (with white bow ribbons as hairties), but now she wears a denim blue woolen short sleeve jacket, a pink plaid skirt with a gold pattern added at its bottom, as well as a round belt item handbag to one with a light pink flower pattern in a solid pink heart in the middle. She wears her Friendship rings in her right hand index finger. She wears long white socks with pink round border, and she wears a pink shoes with the two blue flowers on the yellow shoe straps.

## Personality

Romi is a playful and curious girl. Proud and cheerful, she is quite messy and likes to fool around and have fun with her friends, whom she loves a lot. She is nice and generous, and likes to help the people she loves when they are in trouble. With a smile bright like the sun and her irresistible attitude, she is easily forgiven for her actions.

## Magic

### Transformations

*To see more of Romi's transformations, check the dedicated article.*

With the kiss of a Royal Teenieping, and with the help of her main tool the Magic Catcher, Romi can transform into a magical princess, which differs depending on which Royal Teenieping she transforms with, and the season. She gets a brand-new look which protecting her from her secret identity and follows the color scheme of the chosen Teenieping.

Romi gains various magical abilities using her main or some new special tools she gets. She can for example throw magical spells, protect herself with a shield, use her Mystic Heart Wing Bow in Season 3, and, most importantly, once defeated, catch a freed Teenieping.

### Teenieping interaction

In order to carry out her Teenieping-catching mission even in her civilian form, Romi holds a specific identification tool — the Magic Bell in Season 1 and the Charming Jewel Band in Season 2 (included with her main tool in Season 3), which rings moments after a freed Teenieping is detected. This allows her to quickly react when a Teenieping is within her reach.

To know who she has to deal with, she uses her main tool — the Magic Catcher in *Catch! Teenieping*, the Jewel Heart Wing Phone in *Twinkle Catch! Teenieping*, the Mystic Heart Wing in *Secret Catch! Teenieping*, and the Sugar Berry Pact in *Dessert Catch! Teenieping* — to identify any Teenieping by its shadow or any trace it left like footsteps. The tool will show an image of the detected Teenieping, allowing Romi or her companion(s) to describe it to her.

Additionally, in Season 1, Romi can use the Magic Catcher to summon a previously caught Teenieping, by simply calling their names.

### Mental abilities

Even when not transformed, Romi, as taught during her early childhood in the Emotions Kingdom, is capable of creating a pink protective shield to protect herself from getting hit by magic or something dangerous. However, it is energy-consuming, therefore she only uses this ability when the situation is critical.

Secondly, as briefly shown in "Happying's Back," she has a telepathic connection with Happying's small crown, allowing her to transfer some of her energy to the crown.

## Relationships

### Heartsping

Heartsping, as part of her royal Teenieping role, is Romi's personal Teenieping, meaning she is in charge of staying and taking care of her, ensure her safety, and also to simply entertain and spend time with her. As such, Romi and Heartsping spend a lot of time together, especially in the Emotions Kingdom during Romi's childhood, where they become very close.

Even if they always stay very close, they start to spend less time together starting from Season 2, as Heartsping takes charge of the Teenieping School, but they still manage to be together in a few episodes.

### Maya & Marylou

Since her arrival on Earth, Romi also became best friends with Maya and Marylou. More than schoolmates, they like to spend time together having fun in Harmony Town. They all mutually support each other and push themselves to their limits when needed.

### Sarah

Sarah is Romi's older cousin. Since Romi moved to Harmony Town, Sarah became her parental figure, as she started to behave like a mother to her. The two get along just fine; while Sarah can be a little bossy from time to time (like in "Fix It, Handyping"), they are shown to care for each other a lot, just like in "What Does a Tear Candy Taste Like?"

### Jennie

Romi and Jennie's relationship is formerly presented as a simple relationship: when they were little, back in the Emotions Kingdom, they used to play together a lot. Even though their personalities are pretty different, as Romi is seen as the messy energetic girl who likes to have fun while Jennie is seen as the shy reserved, and studious one, they used to get along pretty well,. An symbol of this bond appears in "Finding Romi's Necklace;" the necklace Jennie made for Romi with her magic. Romi also takes care of Jennie, pushing her out of her comfort zone and, at times, confronting her about her shyness.

The only problem with their friendship is that, even though they get along pretty well, their respective personal Teeniepings — Heartsping and Onlyping — do not get along. Even though the girls try their best to keep the peace, their competitive rivalrcan often create some uncomfortable situations, which fortunately are resolved quickly.

The departure of Romi from the Emotions Kingdom didn't prevent them from seeing each other, as Jennie often visited her cousin. However, everything changes when Romi discovers the truth about Jennie in "Heartsping in Danger:" that she was, in fact, the one responsible of all her misadventures last season, due to a developed jealousy and hatred she had for Romi.

Romi had lived a perfect life with a comforting family, while Jennie's parents had disappeared and never returned, leaving Jennie to grow up on her own in the Emotions Kingdom with Onlyping. Having learned of Jennie's true feelings towards her made Romi terribly sad and confused, as she had no idea Jennie felt this way, despite not seeing her throughout much of Season 1.

In *Secret Catch! Teenieping*, where she indirectly fought Jennie without realizing it, she now has to fight her "heart sister" head-on, since she had seized control of the Mystic Village and is manipulating the Key Teeniepings so that they can cause trouble for Romi. Romi's mission turns from not just catching the Key Teeniepings, but also saving Jennie and stopping her from doing more horrible things should they all return to their home land.

Ironically, Romi's main motivation for this season opposed Jennie's: Romi wanted to restore the friendship that she and Jennie had, while Jennie aimed to take Romi's position as princess of the Emotions Kingdom and leave her behind just like Romi had done to Jennie. Romi winds up achieving her goal after a long and hard battle, and after finally revealing the truth about her missing parents, Jennie finally gets back to her senses. From then on, they start to live together alongside Maya & Marylou.

### Family

While not much has been explored about Romi's relations with her family, it is seen that they get along quite well. Her parents, Heart King and Queen Belita, take great care of her, and they both terribly miss each other since Romi's departure on Earth. She also gets along quite well with her grandmother Queen Stella.

### Dr. Monziu

Dr. Monziu is a very dear person to Romi, as he was her magic instructor during her early childhood, and is now the one helping her in her missions. Romi has therefore grown very strong bonds with Dr. Monziu.

## History

### Life in the Emotions Kingdom

Romi grows up and spends her childhood happily in the Emotions Kingdom with her mother, father & grandmother. Heartsping gets in charge of taking care of her, and they practically spend all their time together, growing big links. She also very often plays with the other Royal Teeniepings, and she also grows big links with her cousin Jennie, who becomes like a sister in her eyes.

Globally, she is well-treated by everyone, because of her status as the princess of the kingdom and her position as first in line for the throne. She also attends like every other child wizard classes with Dr. Monziu and learns a lot about the magic of the Emotions Kingdom. She is heavily characterized by her curious and energetic personality, which can sometimes create some chaos or unexpected situations: she most notably finds Dr. Monziu's classes a bit boring.

But, one day she gets guided by Giggleping's evil forces, and enters the Cube Chamber, where all the Teeniepings' cubes reside. She touches some buttons previously actioned by Giggleping, unaware of her presence, which causes the release of all the Teeniepings of the chamber. She only succeeds to catch Heartsping, who was with her at this moment.

### *Catch! Teenieping*

To repair her mistakes, Romi settles on Earth in Heartrose Bakery owned by her older cousin Sarah, and becomes a normal girl of Harmony Town. She spends most of her time at school working at the bakery. She notably often goes on special bread delivery missions or helps the boys take care of the shop. When she has some free time, she hangs out with either her new friends Maya and Marylou, or plays with the Royal Emotion Teeniepings.

Meanwhile, she starts her mission to catch all the Teeniepings in secret, with the help of Heartsping and the other Royal Emotion Teeniepings she encounters. When a Teenieping is around, she hides away to transform into a magical princess, and often chases after them. Nobody outside of Sarah is aware of this, so she stays very careful to not reveal anything about that.

#### Unforgettable Birthday Party

When everyone seems to be out and away from her — on her thirteenth birthday — Romi sulks about Harmony Town wondering if anyone remembers it was her special day. Just when all hope seems lost, the Heartrose Bakery staff and the Royal Emotion Teeniepings re-appear with a surprise birthday party all set up for her. Along with this, she gets a message from her family, wishing her well and that she catches the Teeniepings soon.

#### Likey the Pranks, Giggleping!

As Romi has been dreaming about Happying, the final Royal Emotion Teenieping she has yet to encounter, she encounters Giggleping, a peculiar Teenieping who she decieds to name, and she can't properly catch — despite transforming — due to the Magic Catcher being unable to gather any proper data on her. Giggleping is enamored by the Magic Catcher's abilities and — given her naughty and mischief-making nature, gives her a wicked idea.

Giggleping wants to steal the Magic Catcher to pull the biggest prank of all: freeing all the previous Emotion Teeniepings Romi had already caught so Romi will have to catch them again! As the Royal Emotion Teeniepings clamor to try and stop her, she's able to escape, leading Romi to wonder what this oddball might be up to...

#### Five Romis

When Lalaping accidentally breaks a magic mirror while playing the bakery's storage room, Romi tries to get back the mirror, for fear that it could cause more problems. When she and the Royal Emotion Teeniepings notice that Giggleping is about to use it for no good reason, Romi steps in front of the mirror, causing four clones to appear. While the benefits seem to outweigh the negatives at first (they manage to stop Giggleping from escaping, briefly), the inconveniences of having a bunch of Romis in one place start to arise. Personalities clash, and Romi decides to put an end to the clones using candies from Dr. Monziu.

#### Teenieping Carnival

Romi and the Royal Emotion Teeniepings host the titular Carnival for the previously caught Emotion Teeniepings to enjoy. When Giggleping tries to ruin the fun, the latter is invited to join the party instead. After enjoying some cookies, Giggleping joins the others as they dance to Hi by Hye-Joo. Meanwhile, Romi longs to see Happying again and starts to cry in worry. This leads Giggleping to debate on whether or not she should steal the Magic Catcher, but she decides not to.

#### Happying's Back

Romi learns of the truth about Giggleping after a confrontation involving them two and Gogoping. When Gogoping knocks the badge off of Giggleping's hoodie, it's taken in to Romi's bedroom for further investigation. Romi and the Royal Emotion Teeniepings learn of the Yummy Fruit and its dangers toward Teeniepings. But as Romi looks closely at the badge, she comes to a heartbreaking realization: Happying was Giggleping all along!

An emotional Romi sets out to confront Giggleping one last time, who is dealing with a lot of pain without her badge. But with a kiss, Romi is able to withstand Giggleping's overwhelming power and restore back to her original form as Happying.

#### In The Name Of The Royalpings

Romi and the Teeniepings fight Egoping after learning that she was the one who controlled Happying and manipulated her into eating the Yummy Fruit and going rouge on the Emotions Kingdom. Romi tries everything to stop her, but nothing seems to work! Egoping then manages to seize the Magic Catcher. Suddenly Happying sacrifices herself, feeling as though all of what's happened was her own fault.

#### Princess Veronica

Romi tries to resuscitate Happying following her sacrifice, but fails and gives up. She gets trapped in one of Egoping's giant magic balls after trying to protect the Royal Emotion Teeniepings with all of her energy. But thanks to Heartsping's tear magic, the Royal Emotion Teeniepings' magic activates, triggering the transformation of Princess Veronica. Altogether, they successfully manage to defeat Egoping and Romi manages to catche her.

However, this battle has led her friends to discover her secret identity. And, as she has now caught all the Teeniepings of Harmony Town, she will have to return to the Emotions Kingdom with the Royal Emotion Teeniepings. Her friends Maya and Marylou get very saddened and disappointed, thanking her one last time before her departure.

When she arrives in the Emotions Kingdom, she happily gets back to her family, before realizing that she misses her life in Harmony Town too much. She explains her feelings to her family, and asks them to go back to Earth, which they accept. A while later, she gets back to her friends, and then lives peaceful days in Harmony Town just like before.

### *Twinkle Catch! Teenieping*

The Royal Emotion Teeniepings, except for Heartsping, return to the Emotions Kingdom to continue their duty of serving the Royal family and teaching the Teeniepings. Meanwhile, Romi lives peacefully with Heartsping in Harmony Town.

#### Twinkle Twinkle, Jewel Teeniepings

Maskping suddenly appears and releases the Jewel Teeniepings to Earth. Warned by the Royal Emotion Teeniepings, Heart King decides that Romi will once again be in charge of catching them all.

The day after, Romi finds that the Royal Teenieping students Teeniepings have seemingly stolen the Jewel Heart Wing Phone, and a mad chase all over Harmony Town ensues. When all of them are trapped at a construction site, the three Royal Teenieping studentss explain their situation to Romi, and she learns of the consequences of giving up her life as a princess. After saving them from a crash, Romi equips the Jewel Heart Wing Phone and transforms into Princess Diaheart for the first time.

#### Welcome to Teenieping School!

Upon meeting with Sarah, she calls Dr. Monziu, who teaches her about the Jewel Teeniepings, the Jewel Forest, and assigns her, Heartsping, and the Royal Teenieping students Teeniepings their next mission: to find and catch the Jewel Teeniepings and return them back to their home. Feeling nervous about this new mission she hardly had any time to prepare for, she reconciles with Maya & Marylou over keeping a secret about her identity. Romi, Heartsping and the new Royal Teenieping Royal Teenieping studentss receive the Teenieping School to commence their studies.

#### Another Princess

While enjoying a nice, peaceful day, Romi's cousin Jennie comes to visit her for the first time. They get to spend some time together over tea, and Romi introduces Jennie to her bedroom, while she hears about her troubling relationship with Onlyping. They then enjoy a picnic together, and Jennie eventually meets Maya & Marylou, and they all go to the town fair.

But when Jennie goes missing, an irate Onlyping commands that Romi, Maya, Marylou and the Royal Teenieping students Teeniepings to search for her. They're able to find her, but notice that Heartsping & Onlyping are engaged in a duel. Jennie stops the two of them and takes her leave back to the Emotions Kingdom.

#### A Perilous Picnic

When Romi invites Jennie and the Jewel Teeniepings to a picnic on the beach, she apologizes to Heartsping for not telling her in advance. The picnic seems to be going smoothly, but things get worrisome as Heartsping tries to protect the Jewel Teeniepings from various incidents that don't seem to do any harm to anyone.

When Romi finds that Heartsping and the Jewel Teeniepings have been gone for a while, they go to search for them. They eventually find that Heartsping was able to save them from an intruding Maskping, which relieves Romi.

#### Teenieping School Graduation

Romi watches the titular graduation for the Jewel Teeniepings along with Maya, Marylou, Jennie, the bakery staff, and the Royal Emotion Teeniepings. She appears to look back fondly on the memories that were made throughout their time, and starts to cry when she realizes she'll have to say goodbye. As a token of the Jewel Teeniepings' gratitude, Romi receives the Imperial Stone, a magic tool that comes from the combined magic powers of them all. As Romi is saying goodbye, however, Heartsping is kidnapped by Maskping, to Romi's shock.

#### Heartsping in Danger

Jennie convinces Romi to join her in rescuing Heartsping. Together, they journey to a cavern in the Emotions Kingdom, and are able to stop a duel between Heartsping & Maskping with Jennie trapping Maskping. The three of them encounter the Jewel Dragon and Jennie convinces Romi to try and tame it to save the Jewel Forest from deteriorating, instead of just escaping with Heartsping.

Romi follows through with this, retrieving the magic spellbook hidden within the Jewel Dragon, but Jennie grabs the spellbook for herself, allowing her to control the Jewel Dragon on her own. Maskping then reappears to try and protect Jennie from the dragon's onslaught, revealing it to be Onlyping. To Romi's surprise, Heartsping tells her about Maskping's true identity, apologizing for not telling her sooner, as Romi tries to confront the reality of what's just happened.

#### The Jewel Forest is Restored

Romi listens to Jennie as the latter explains what caused her to do what she had done. She tries to convince her that she still cares about her, but Jennie refuses, choosing to leave her & Heartsping behind with the Jewel Dragon ready to attack. They're able to escape with the help of the Imperial Stone — dropped off by the Royal Teenieping students — and is able to sedate the Jewel Dragon, allowing it to restore the Jewel Forest so that the Jewel Teeniepings can settle back into their home safely.

After attending the official ceremony where the Royal Teenieping students become official Royal Teeniepings, Romi is left worried about Jennie. She goes to Dr. Monziu's laboratory to ask a question, presumably about what he had known about Jennie's actions.

### *Secret Catch! Teenieping*

With new Royal Teeniepings, Romi & Heartsping return once again to their lives as normal. But a new crisis arises which propels her into action.

#### Secret Key Teenieping

On a bike ride with Maya & Marylou, the Royal Key Teeniepings all crash land onto Earth and alert her about the crisis in their homeland they were able to escape from: that a mysterious girl had sent their Key Teenieping friends down to Earth.

When a Teenieping in a chest lands on Earth alongside them, she decides to take them in and back to Heartrose Bakery where their new adventure awaits.

#### Transformation! Floraheart

When Romi arrives at the bakery, she finds Hurryping making everyone act super fast and busy. Despite her best attempts at stopping her, she gets hit by Hurryping's Tinkle Puff and is sent into a craze to try and find a solution. She races to her mirror to call Dr. Monziu and find a way out of this mess, and he alerts her that her new magic tool will arrive soon.

She receives the Mystic Heart Wing after just about escaping with Hurryping — which changes Heartsping's appearnce — and allows her to transform with her into Princess Floraheart. Together, with the Royal Key Teeniepings, they're able to catch Hurryping, despite his attempts at going into hiding using the new Mystic Heart Wing Bow. As the Royal Key Teeniepings celebrate their victory, Romi hopes that she'll be able to get back to Jennie and restore their friendship.

The Royal Key Teeniepings introduce themselves properly to Romi & Heartsping and Dr. Monziu reminds her of her new mission: to catch the Key Teeniepings that were sent to Earth. With this, the Teeniepings receive the Secret Castle, acting as their living quarters.

## Trivia

* In Unforgettable Birthday Party, it is revealed that Romi's birthday is on October 18th. However, it was later changed to July 7th. The reasoning behind this is not known.
