Princess Debut/Characters
Your Team
The Player (default name: Sabrina)
You, of course. Sabrina is an Ordinary High School Student until her Alternate Self bursts through her wardrobe and claims to be a princess escaping the Ball at St. Lyon's, as she absolutely hates dancing. So, naturally, the two of you trade places for a month and you're suddenly surrounded by a Cast Full of Pretty Boys, who just happen to be the alternate selves of some boys in your school...

The Princess (default name: Sabrina)
A Rebellious Princess of the Flower Kingdom who loathes the idea of training for the Ball at St. Lyon's, Sabrina begs you to trade places with her for exactly a month before it's over.

- Everything's Better with Princesses

Kip Hamoon Stallon the 777th
Your royal adviser who does often try to tutor you, but often fails.

- Mr. Exposition
- King Bob the Nth: Not royalty, but still. 777!
- Talking Animal: Justified, as this is totally normal in the Flower Kingdom.
- Non-Human Sidekick
Tony
Normally a short humanoid rabbit, he can use magic to grow to the size of a prince. He's actually one of the best dancers in the kingdom, and serves as your teacher. He also has some sort of secret...
- Humanity Ensues: If you beat the game with him (by being a bitch to everyone and ending up without a partner), he becomes human. This is revealed to be due to a curse.
- The Mentor: Serves as your dance instructor.
- Nice Hat
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted, he's an extremely nice guy.
- Waistcoat of Style
- White-Haired Pretty Boy
The Princes
Cesar Dubois
One of the princes, who seems to be shallow and womanizing, but naturally there's more to him than meets the eye. He's also pretty romantic, and he will stay faithful to you anyhow.
- Alternate Self: His alternate self is a Chick Magnet classmate of Sabrina's named Carlos.
- Bishonen
- Casanova
- Chick Magnet
- Hidden Depths
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Purple-haired, in fact.
Kiefer Bergmann
The sixth prince, he'll only show up after you beat the game once. Like Luciano, he's fairly hard to get as a partner, but unlike Luciano, this is due to his complete disinterest in dancing. He'll warm up with a little encouragement from you.
- Alternate Self: His counterpart in the real world is Sabrina's bookish classmate Keith.
- Bishonen
- Defrosting Ice King
- Friend to All Living Things
- New Game+: You can only pursue him after you've beaten the game once.
- Purple Eyes
- The Quiet One
- Stoic Spectacles
- Sugar and Ice Personality: Initially appears very aloof, but is a really nice guy once you get to know him.
- White-Haired Pretty Boy: Has all the aloofness.
Klaus Rosencrans
The most popular prince in the game, Klaus embodies Prince Charming through and through. In fact, he's the only prince to start the game with a partner other than you, as well as his personal Instant Fanclub that follows him everywhere.
- The Ace
- Alternate Self: Resident Big Man on Campus and star athlete Kyle.
- Chick Magnet: Much to his dismay.
- Forgotten Childhood Friend: To Sabrina.
- Green Eyes
- Instant Fanclub
- Nice Guy: So much.
- Prince Charming: The straightest example of this trope in this entire game.
- Rose Haired Guy: And true to the trope, he's probably the most classic out of all the princes.
- Victorious Childhood Friend: To the princess, actually, if you beat the game with him. You have to set off a specific chain of events involving the emerald necklace in your bedroom to find this out.
Liam Goodrich
Liam loves his sister very much. And by "very much," we really do mean very much. But other than that, he's pretty much the ideal dance partner - unfailingly polite, perpetually smiling, and always there for dance practice.
- Alternate Self: His alternate self is Sabrina's kind classmate Leon.
- Brother-Sister Incest: Oh, dear.
- Curtains Match the Window
- Nice Guy: It's in his name.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He loves gardening.
- Replacement Goldfish: He tells you you remind him of his sister Olive. If you beat the game with him, he'll tell you you don't look like her after all.
Luciano Barbosa
One of the best dancers in the entire game with an attitude to match, Luciano is one of the hardest partners to snag (as he won't even look at you until you push yourself to superhuman levels). But as mentioned, he's one of the best.
- Alternate Self: Your character's childhood friend Lucas.
- Arrogant Kung Fu Guy: Acts like this at first, and he is renowned as an extremely talented dancer.
- Defrosting Ice King
- Eyes of Gold
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Somewhat.
- No Sense of Direction: Very, very badly. He refuses to acknowledge this, though. Catherine thinks this is endearing.
- Put on a Bus: Whether you like it or not, he will leave halfway through the game to join the World Dance Competition, and to get him back you have to set off a very specific chain of events.
- The Bus Came Back: In certain cases. It requires a lot of patience.
- Tsundere: A pretty obvious Type A - he's extremely grouchy and unfriendly until he warms up to you.
- Victorious Childhood Friend: If the player beats the game with him and declines his offer to marry him, his Earth counterpart Lucas is this.
Vincent Wright
The youngest dance partner in the game, who's a pretty nice kid but can be quite the jerk. He loves to play pranks on people, and often doesn't show up to practice.
- Alternate Self: Sabrina's classmate and resident class clown Victor.
- Cute Shotaro Boy
- Green Eyes
- Hair of Gold
- Idiot Hair
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Meaningful Name: In the Japanese version, his name is Kid.
- Older Than They Look: That kid most definitely does not look fourteen.
