First appearance: The Heart of Princess Joan
As a supporting figure in The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde, Princess Joan is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Under a fairy's curse since infancy, she is heartless and unable to love or feel sorrow, though she remains beautiful.
Joan is the sort of princess people call poor, not for lack of rank but for the difficulties that surround her courtship. A mysterious suitor pursues her heart, and she must decide how much of what he presents can be trusted. Her warmth and good sense make her the moral center of a tale about seeing past enchantment to the truth of a person.
