Jamie

**Prince James of the Pastel Kingdom**, known by his nickname "**Jamie**", is the second-youngest child and only son of King Jack of the Pastel Kingdom. He is currently the Crown Prince of the Pastel Kingdom, despite not wanting to be one. He possesses great beauty like his two elder sisters, so much so that he literally sparkles and emits glowing light. Additionally, when he eats a meal, he has the ability to taste the feelings and emotions of whoever cooked it; this ability is why he is a famous food critic.

## Appearance

   Jamie is the tallest of all his siblings. He has a well-built figure, but it looks a little willowy because he usually wears looser clothing. He has an androgynous facial structure, which often leads to him being mistaken as a princess, as well as ear-length bubblegum pink hair, round purple eyes, and long, thick eyelashes. Jamie is unusually bright and sparkly, often blinding people who lay eyes on him. His attire changes, much like his sisters', and ranges from formal to sweaters, vests, semi-formal, casual, and other clothing. He has a pink color motif.

## Personality

Jamie is more outgoing and laid-back than the rest of his sisters because he has more freedom to go outside than them. Like his siblings, he tends to put others before himself, especially his family. He is completely unafraid to sacrifice his dignity for his sisters' sake, as shown by the number of times he has run around nude in order to distract the guards so his sisters could sneak out.

Jamie can be a gourmand, and is known as the *most renowned food critic*. He is so renowned that top chefs from other Kingdoms visit him so he can critique their dishes. He is well-known for having a sharp tongue and a supernatural ability to taste the feelings, thoughts, and emotions of whomever prepared/cooked the said meal to him, which is also a plus to his career. He may be kindhearted, but that doesn't stop him from giving harsh, straightforward criticism towards his clients (though he sometimes apologizes to them).

## History

James was the third child and only son and heir to the throne of King Jack and Queen Lilyth of the Pastel Kingdom, followed by his twin sister Gwen minutes later. Even as a newborn, he was so beautiful that he glowed and shone brightly, almost blinding his parents. Sadly, his mother soon passed away, a year after his second birthday, when she fainted at the party and discovered from there that she had broken heart syndrome.

## Relationships

#### Gwendolyn

Princess Gwendolyn is Prince Jamie's twin sister, and he has an especially close relationship with her. Although he is a harsh food critic, he has said nothing but compliments about Gwendolyn's cooking. While tasting food, he often likes to have something cooked by Gwendolyn in between meals because it is familiar to him. When Jamie tasted the Magical Friendship Volcano Surprise, all he tasted was carpet, which has the same taste as devastation; so, he determined that Gwendolyn was devastated because he thought that she would never serve food that came from the ground, though she actually did. Still, he didn't seem to mind. When Jamie ate the cookies she baked for her family on game night and tasted a lot of new emotions that he had never experienced in her cooking before, he told Gwendolyn that he would be there for her if she wanted to talk about anything. Gwendolyn told him that she conversed with Prince Fredrick and told him that they didn't need to move forward with their engagement, but Jamie wasn't fine with that. He decided to talk with Frederick and build a closer relationship with him, despite Gwendolyn's protests not to. Jamie then told Gwendolyn what Frederick's hobbies were so she could bond and become better friends with him.

At Lance’s Birthday Party, when Gwendolyn didn't want people to stare at her, Jamie promised her that it would be okay, told her that she could walk behind him and stare at the back of his head, and remarked that she would realize that there would be nothing to be scared of because she's great. While he was walking into the party, he thought to himself that he was proud of Gwen. Some time later at the party, he saw her alone and felt bad for her; later, when he barely saw Lord Leopold with her, he was worried, but then thought it was fine after he saw her with Frederick again as the party ended. When Gwen needed to go to the Cursed Princess Club to give Princess Aurelia back her favorite pearl necklace but couldn't tell Jamie the truth, he was still willing to run outside naked in order to distract the guards. Like their father, Jamie can be quite overprotective of Gwendolyn and her relationship with Frederick, as he terrorized Leopold while he was painting Gwen in fear of him attempting to get closer to her. However, he later realized that he should have faith that Gwendolyn would do what was best for her. Later, Jamie helped Gwendolyn with her dinner party by tasting her food, and gave her revised apple pie extremely high praise. He was happy for Gwendolyn when he saw the gala ticket that Frederick gave her.

#### Princess Maria

Maria is Jamie's eldest sister. Much like the rest of his siblings, he is quite close with her, and stands up for her independence when their father is being overprotective of her, which she is greatly thankful for.

#### Princess Lorena

Lorena is Jamie's elder sister, and the two joke around with each other the most out of the other siblings. Like the rest of his sisters, he stands up for her independence when their father is being overprotective of her, which she is grateful for. During board game nights, Lorena gets pretty competitive, leaving everyone, including Jamie, victim. When telling their father about their passions, Jack wanted Jamie to take over the military, which is what Lorena wanted to do.

#### King Jack

As his only son, Jack is more lenient with Jamie, letting him do much more and giving him much more freedom than his sisters. Jamie receives a moderate amount of attention compared to his sisters, and is considerably more independent with his passions and career (most of this could be because he is allowed to be in the first place). However, Jack wants his son to be the future leader of the Pastel Kingdom's military. Jamie strongly disagrees with this idea, as he would rather continue his career as a food critic, but doesn't know how to stand up to his father, despite doing so for his sisters so often. Jack and Jamie often play chess together (though Jamie's brightness sometimes makes it hard for Jack to see the chessboard), and Jamie has an uncanny resemblance to his father when he was younger, not to mention their names sounding similar.

#### Prince Frederick

At the amusement park, Prince Jamie attempted to build a closer relationship with Prince Frederick by interrogating him about himself (Frederick) to help him get closer to Gwendolyn, despite Frederick not wanting to get closer to him. He also made sure that nobody would harm Gwendolyn's relationship with Frederick.

#### Lord Leopold

*See main: Jamie/Leopold*

Previously, Lord Leopold, a painter that takes interest in Princess Gwendolyn's looks, disliked Jamie. However, Leopold now looks at Jamie differently. He thinks of Jamie as an acquaintance because he has finally seen him for who he truly is, a caring brother.

At Prince Lance's birthday party, Jamie was suspicious of Leopold since he had barely seen him with Gwendolyn, and he didn't want him to hurt Gwendolyn or her relationship with Frederick. Jamie annoyed Leopold so much that he appeared as a "pink demon" in Leopold's nightmares. After Leopold told Jamie to stop terrorizing him and to let him finish his job, Jamie apologized and said that he terrorized him because he cared about Gwendolyn. Once Gwendolyn's portrait was finished, Leopold made Jamie a healthy salad, and Jamie thought it tasted great. Jamie also wasn't surprised when he tasted that Leopold didn't think he was hideous, and that he was actually beautiful.

They met again in a museum of the Denim Kingdom, and Jamie was harassed by a frightened Leopold. However, Jamie was extremely grateful for Leopold for taking him out to Chambray Cafe for sweets (though, he would've been more grateful if Leopold would stop sneaking vegetables into his sweets). After Leopold gave him his reason for sneaking food into his meal, Jamie opened up to him about his situation and how he didn't want to become the king. Leopold then attempted to encourage Jamie to not only stand up for his sisters, but also for himself in the way most natural for him. After Leopold gave his personal opinion about shirking all the abilities that would be handed to someone to pursue what they want, Jamie seemed somewhat fond of that answer. While Leopold stated that he believed he had the solution to both their predicaments, Jamie sneaked candies into his meal.

In the finale of Season 3, Jamie participated in an art show in the Argyle Kingdom, and was shown to be Leopold's main source of inspiration for many of the exhibits. After eating part of a interactive cookie exhibit that lots of people had helped to create, Jamie experienced 'flavor overload' and fainted. He was caught by Leopold, who was greatly distressed by Jamie's condition.

During the Bippity Bop Gala, Leopold helps Jamie find out who wants to crush the Pastel Princesses.

#### Monika

Due to Monika's fascination with shiny objects, when seeing a glowing Prince Jamie at Princess Gwendolyn's dinner party in her crow form, she flew over to him and hugged his face. This greatly shocked him and freaked him out.
