Curtis

**Curtis** is the butler assigned to serve and protect Prez. He is also the co-owner and butler of the Cursed Princess Club.

## Appearance

Curtis has a tan complexion, light grayish-brown hair, and brown eyes. He wears a black tailcoat suit with a blue tie adorned with a gold pentagon, and black frameless spectacles. Curtis has also been described as meek and/or generic.

## Personality

Curtis is polite and willing to help with anything, as any good butler should be. However, he is not completely subservient, and can stand up to himself when he needs to, as shown when he harshly reprimanded Syrah for hitting on him. Curtis is extremely dedicated to his job, and though he was initially surprised when he learned Prez wanted him to help her become strong, he made it his mission to teach her everything he knew. Despite his unorthodox methods, he is skilled at fighting, and was able to train Prez.

## History

After Princess Calpernia was banished from her kingdom, Curtis was assigned to be her personal butler. He helped her train and rescue Princess Nell from the Stripe Kingdom to start the Cursed Princess Club. Since then, he has assisted her and the club in any way possible, despite frequently being hit on by members of the club (particularly Syrah).

## Relationships

### Prez (Calpernia)

When Curtis first met Prez, she had just been banished, and he felt pity for her. When Prez asks him to train her to become strong, although he is surprised by her request, he accepts. His training is successful, and he assists Prez when she's scouting members for the club. When it comes to what he believes is best for her, Curtis isn't afraid to step in, such as the time he deemed the club extremely unprepared to go to Gwen's Dinner Party and forced them to go through training in order to prepare themselves. Curtis expresses relief when Prez finally allows herself to grieve her losses, explaining to Monika how she had repressed her emotions in order to "become strong" and pursue her mission of forming the Cursed Princess Club.

### Syrah

Syrah is constantly hitting on Curtis, so much so Aurelia introduced herself by slapping Syrah for doing so. Her constant flirting with Curtis is noted to be the reason why she nearly failed the test for CPC's initiation. Her flirting takes from various forms, from innuendos that involve "buns" and "honey" to the idea of giving him an apron with kiss marks and the text "Kiss the Cook".

### Nell

When Nell is accused by many CPC members to be the mastermind behind Gwendolyn's attempted murder, Curtis is the first one to defend her. He explains that Nell was actually the one who warned him about the possibility of Gwen getting harmed when she saw her walking to the barn. Curtis truly believed Nell, as he immediately rushed to the barn to save her.

#### Gwendolyn

When Gwen brings a plate of scones to the club, Curtis, a fellow chef, is amazed by their taste. Later, he saves Gwen from getting mauled by the were-spider Prez by kicking the giant spider in the forehead. Curtis justifies why Gwen went to the barn, as he trusts that Gwen knows who the one that makes her go to the barn was. Curtis also gave helpful information in Gwen's favor, as he noticed the the locks to the barn door looked like they had been melted.

#### Miss Agatha

*See Molly/Curtis/Miss Agatha*

At Gwendolyn's Dinner Party, Miss Agatha clearly took interest in Curtis, but he didn't seem to notice her. When Prez tried to talk with her about academics, she was occupied with staring at him, and only when he was in another room was she finally able to get her act together. She later desired to know whether he was single or not, and in Episode 133, she tried to bring him up again with Molly.

#### Molly

*See Molly/Curtis/Miss Agatha*

At Gwendolyn's Dinner Party, Curtis is amazed by Molly's skill when she catches all the cupcakes that Chef Martina accidentally drops. When they meet again at the Bippity Bop Gala, Curtis offers her a cup of tea while asking her tips to be a good servant.

#### Whitney

Curtis is initially wary of Whitney, as he gave Prez her curse, and he picked up on Whitney's feelings towards Prez. He cautioned Whitney to keep his feelings towards Prez pure, which impacted Whitney so much to the point that he decided to leave the Bippity Bop Gala on his own. When Whitney figured out that his tiger stripes had become red not because he was attracted to Prez but simply because of an allergy and returned to the CPC, Curtis relents and offering his hand to Whitney to symbolize that he has accepted him.
