Princess Odette, the only daughter of King William, is a lively young woman who is very sweet,
feminine and kind, but at the same time outspoken and forthright, something that takes most of the
people around her by surprise. She's surprisingly strong at times, and her level-headedness balances out
Prince Derek's lack of it.

Prince Derek is a charming prince with an occasionally unfortunate tendency not to
notice what is right in front of him. That doesn't
make him any less a hero, it's just that he needs to think carefully before
choosing a target... and choosing words, when it comes to that.
Voiced by Howard McGillin.
Young Derek voiced by Adam Wylie and J.D. Daniels. Voiced by Douglas Sills in the first sequel. Voiced by Brian Nissen in the second sequel. |

Don't let Rothbart fool you. He may look like a typical "cue evil laughter
here" kind of villain, but he actually thinks his ideas through before
executing them, and is rather intelligent for villain. (Most villains just
live on their nerves, and desperately underestimate the hero/heroines.)
Not Rothbart. Why, it took him nearly 18 years to plan and re-plan his
plan... and he hasn't aged a day.

Jean-Bob is a French frog who believes he's a prince. He doesn't merely
think
he's a prince, he believes in it implicitly, and constantly badgers Odette
for that one kiss that'll "break ze spell". But as much as he may say against
it, he's not a snot, he's not a wuss, and he will do all he can to help
Odette escape Rothbart and find Derek. After all, he is a sidekick, ain't
it?

My favourite of the Animal Sidekick Trio is Lorenzo Trudge-Along, but
friends call him Speed. He's the wry smart-talking turtle that somehow
ended up with Jean-Bob at Swan Lake and befriended Odette. He may be a
little slow on the speech, and rather sarcastic on the tone, but don't
you underestimate him. He's the smart one.

Lieutenant Puffin joins the Animal Sidekick Trio sorely by coincidence
(and an arrow in the wing) and takes it upon himself to be the leader.

Queen Uberta is Prince Derek's widow mum who's got an amazing head
of hair and an ability to pout that puts all spoilt three-year-olds to
shame. She certainly doesn't act her age, and lives happily in a life of
throwing parties and pageants where she's the centre of attention. She
pushed Derek in the direction of Odette ever since he was a young boy,
and continues to push him, whether or not Odette is the vicinity. Derek
must've gotten all his genes from his dad (except for the clueless gene).

King William is Princess Odette's dad. [Who is her mum, by the way?
There was absolutely no mention of her despite the part in the prologue
when Odette was born.] He's good friends with Queen Uberta (or was, in
any case), and was her conspirator when it came to the matching of Odette
and Derek. Odette must've gotten all her genes from her mum.

Lord Rogers... my fav character in the entire Swan Princess trilogy.
He seems to know that he's the only intelligent human being around, and
detests the fact that he knows it in the first place. I can't really piece
together what it is exactly that Rogers does around Derek's palace other
than conduct the orchestra, insult Bromleigh and/or Derek, supervise Derek's
archery practices and hang out with Uberta.

Bromley is Prince Derek's best friend. He's mostly a coward that brags a lot, but his heart is (arguably)
in the right place and he has the uncanny ability to end up at the right place at the right time.

Sung by Wes Brewer. Voiced by Owen Miller in the sequels. *Thanks to Emily for the voice actor image. |

And this is the Chamberlain, the runner-around doing-chores-for-the-Queen
fellow, whose highlights in life include singing and dancing with a brigade
of all-too-smiley Princesses.

The Hag, aka Rothbart's sidekick. She doesn't talk (besides making the occasional noise) in
the first movie, but does her job as well as any villainous sidekick can hope to do. In the sequels her
name is revealed to be Bridget.
Voiced by Bess Hopper.
Voiced by Rosie Mann in the sequels. *Thanks to Lisa B for this voice actor info. |
