Bio[]
Appearance[]
Prunce is a small light blue octopoid-like alien. He has two antennas that have a yellow star on each tip.
For the majority of time, he is usually seen travelling in his saucer.
Personality[]
Prunce seems to be very cautious, as he used to feel afraid of being discovered on Earth along with him and Lala. He was also uncertain with unfamiliar surroundings on Earth, such as dogs, and examined ordinary items like donuts. However, as the series progresses, he gradually warms up to them. He tends to exaggerate emotionally even over the slightest thing, but despite that, he is loyal to everybody he cares for and loves.
He is also a huge fan of Yuni's space idol persona, Mao, and collects her merchandise like any typical avid fanboy.
Relationships[]
- Fuwa: Prunce is close friends with her and also highly protective of her as a brother figure. He was extremely devastated when Fuwa sacrificed herself and died.
- Hagoromo Lala: Prunce and Fuwa met Lala during their escape from the Notraiders, and they became close friends. He is regularly seen accompanying Lala such as clinging himself onto her shoulder, nesting on her head or simply being next to her in many scenes.
- Yuni: Prunce detests her phantom thief alias Blue Cat yet he was oblivious that Mao was also one of her personas. Upon realising the truth, he became downcast. Nonetheless, he has seemingly recovered from his despondency fairly quickly. He also teased Yuni after she first boarded the rocket and joined the other Cures. As the series wears on, he becomes good friends with her.
- Yanyan: An alien he met on the rocket. He gets all flustered whenever she praises him, and will do whatever it takes to impress her, hinting at him having a crush on her. He even melts in joy when Yanyan kisses him.
- Toppa: Prunce is allies with Topper, and both consider allowing the Cures to become part of the Starry Sky Galaxy Association.
- Star Princesses: His seniors. He is deeply loyal to them, refusing to leave them when the Notraiders first invaded the Star Palace. However, he was shocked when he found out that they withheld information about the Opiuchus and the truth behind Fuwa's creation.
Etymology[]
His name, Prunce, comes from プルプル, a Japanese onomatopeia for "jiggling" and "bouncing"[1], alluding to his appearance and abilities.
History[]
He used to serve the Star Princesses before they were attacked by the Notraiders. Being the only guard who vowed to dedicated himself to the Princesses, the Princesses were moved by his loyalty and entrusted him with Fuwa. After escaping with Fuwa by hanging onto a truck on a different planet, he heard a song of Mao's which inspired him to keep going. Sometime later, he and Fuwa encountered Lala, and they journeyed with her in space until they crash-landed on Earth, with Prunce serving as her translator. For the majority of the season, Prunce serves as the girls' companion.
Prunce is originally overjoyed to be able to attend Mao's concert on Planet Zeni, until he realizes that she is also the phantom thief Blue Cat. He decides to relieve his sadness and stress through binge eating donuts with Madoka afterwards.STPC15
