Prince **Average** is the central antagonist in the South Korean film Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs.

## Appearance

Prince Average is a slim, fair-skinned young man with slicked-back blond hair and blue eyes.

His attire consists of a crimson, long-sleeved shirt; imperial purple pants; a short, black cape; black gloves that go up to his elbows; and knee-high, black boots. The shirt has a gold design on the front, gold accents, and white ruffles at the edge of the collar. A black, patterned leather belt with a bronze buckle is buckled around his waist. His leather boots and gloves have gold accents. Average wears a flashy gold medallion around his neck that bears his likeness. The strings of the necklace are beaded.

## Personality

Prince Average is as selfish as he is gullible. He is self-obsessed and condescending but craves the admiration of others. He is also rather cowardly.

## Story

Prince Average was sending invitations to his birthday party, but most of the princesses he had invited were all very busy with their own affairs to attend his party (or made excuses not to show up). Not wanting to become a laughingstock for showing up at his party without a beautiful escort, he demands for his guards to find glorious guests but doesn't know where to begin his search.

Queen Regina (in disguise) comes to visit Prince Average, wanting to offer him some *advice* for his current dilemma. Repulsed by her appearance, he decides to dismiss her and asks his guards to kick her out of his castle instead, but Regina teleports past his guards.

Frightened by her powers, he reconsiders his decision and decides to listen. She then proceeds to make a deal with him and tells him about Red Shoes, giving him a picture. Regina tells him Red Shoes has stolen something of hers and that if he manages to capture her, he can bring her to his party as his date and Regina can get back her shoes.

Enraptured by Red Shoes' beauty, he agrees to the deal and tells his guards to put up wanted posters of her, as well as to look for any clue as to her whereabouts.

However, his attempts to capture Red Shoes fails, and he returns home empty-handed. Unhappy with his failure, Regina pays him another visit, but this time, she gifts him with a basket of apples and a vague threat before teleporting away.

At first, Prince Average is frightened by Regina's threat and the apples, but he later dismisses them and eats an apple from the basket (which transforms him into a giant Woodbear).

Under the control of Regina, he (and his two guards) attacks Red Shoes and Merlin during their date and chases them into a canyon, throwing large boulders in a effort to stop their escape. Prince Average is defeated by Merlin (who is in his human form) and falls off the now destroyed stone bridge into a river. However, he successfully pulls Merlin into the river as well before being swept away by the currents.

It is later revealed that after Regina's defeat, her curse on Prince Average was broken and he returns to his human form.

After being fished out of the river by the Fairy Princess (who is on vacation), he coughs water into her face and shoos her away, offending her. As a result, he becomes a green dwarf, being cursed by the Fairy Princess for his misdeeds.

## Trivia

* More than half of Prince Average's lines were ad-libbed by voice actor Jim Rash, which were then incorporated into the film.

* During one of his conversations, there were few Easter Eggs tossed in. When he asked his guards about who was coming to his birthday party, he mentioned few Disney characters: Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel (Tangled), and Princess Leia (Star Wars).
	+ He even mentioned a vacation ship called the 'Princess Cruise'.

* He likes to pronounce his name as "Prince Ah-voo-rahj".

* Because of his egotistic attitude and ways, Prince Average is very unpopular among other royals.
