12->Voiced by: Creator/MichelleNicastro (first three films), Liz Callaway (singing in first film), Adrian Zahiri/W.D Daniels (child/teenager in first film), Creator/LauraBailey (fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh films), Summer Eguhi (singing in fourth film), Nina Herzog (eighth, ninth and tenth films)

14Odette is the protagonist of ''The Swan Princess'' movies. A beautiful and kind princess, she is captured by the evil warlock, Rothbart, who intends to marry her to make her kingdom his own. She spends most of the film under his spell, which causes her to transform into a swan by day and only return to her true form at night.
15----
16* ActionGirl: Occasionally she takes a direct action role to assist her allies and confront villains such as saving Derek from quick sand or attempting to break down the stone cage trapping Alise.
17* AnimalMotifs: Swans, obviously, and not just because she often turns into one. There's a prophecy too, and her color scheme vaguely matches that of a mute or whooper swan with a white dress (feathers) and blonde hair (beak).
18* AntiMagic: ''A Royal Family Tale'' states that she is this to the Forbidden Arts; just her presence causes the entity pain and her shadow undoes the changes it made to the Swan Princess prophecy.
19* ArrangedMarriage: With Derek, courtesy of their parents, to unite their kingdoms. It eventually turns into a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage.
20* BabiesEverAfter: Downplayed. She and Derek adopt an orphaned village girl, Alise, by the end of ''A Royal Family Tale''.
21* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Odette is a very sweet person, she is also very brave and courageous when faced with dangerous situations and is not afraid to speak her mind.
22* CardSharp: When she played poker with Derek, she won every single hand. She wins even when Derek had Bromley cheating for him.
23-->'''Derek''': Four sevens and a ten.
24-->'''Odette''': I think I've won again. ''(Four Aces)''
25--> '''Derek and Bromley''': Every time she's won....!
26* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Downplayed. She and Derek knew each other as children, as both of their parents set them up to be married and wanted the two to get to know each other. However, neither could stand each other and would make it known. It was only when they became adults that they got over their childish pettiness, and realized that they'd fallen for each other some time ago, but couldn't see it.
27* ChildishBangs: She has these as a little kid and preteen in "This Is My Idea," but grows them out to the more mature part she has as a teenager and adult.
28* TheChosenOne: ''A Royal Family Tale'' reveals that her birth was foretold in a prophecy. She would usher in an "age of goodness" and banish evil with her presence.
29* CurseEscapeClause: Her curse can only be broken by a vow of everlasting love, which if made to another person will kill her.
30* DamselInDistress: She gets captured by an antagonist in the first three movies. While she requires saving, she had previously done everything she could to try and liberate herself or at least get Derek's attention to help free her. While she does need Derek to save her in the first film, it's justified since Rothbart's spell can ''only'' be broken either by him or be Derek making a vow of everlasting love to the whole world, so Derek is an integral part in breaking the spell. Odette even says if she could break the spell by herself, she would.
31* DefiantCaptive: In the first film we get this exchange, "Every night you ask me the same question, and every night I give you the same answer: ''I'll die first''."
32* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. She and Derek become deuteragonists as of the sixth film and onwards, which gives their [[SpinOffSpring daughter]] the spotlight along with Lucas.
33* DisneyDeath: Twice. The first time she is killed by Rothbart's curse and the second time by Zelda's destroying Seeker. The first time she was OnlyMostlyDead and the second time was a phoenix style resurrection. The latter was justified because the Forbidden Arts could not truly destroy her.
34* DoggedNiceGirl: As a child, she constantly tried to get Derek to play with or spend time with her and often chased him and Bromley. Unfortunately for Odette, Derek seemed to view her as his AbhorrentAdmirer. [[note]]Given his later line that he thought she "started out as such an ugly duckling."[[/note]]
35-->'''Derek:''' We've tried all summer, but we ''just can't lose her!''
36* DubNameChange: She is named Juliet in the French dub.
37* FairytaleWeddingDress: In the ending of the first film, she wears one of these for her wedding to Derek.
38* ForcedTransformation:
39** The titular Swan Princess. She gets turned into a swan once per movie.
40** In the second film, she ''asks'' to be turned into a swan, so she can reach Derek in time to save him from a trap.
41* GirlinessUpgrade: As a child she's a TomboyPrincess who could keep up with Derek and Bromley. She becomes more of a girly girl as a teen and adult, but stays badass as well.
42* GoodHurtsEvil: Her innate goodness causes debilitating pain to the embodiment of the Forbidden Arts.
43* GoodParents: She is a loving, caring mother to Alise.
44* GoodWearsWhite: She is the main heroine and dresses in white.
45* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: It fits the traditional sweet and innocent princess.
46* HappilyMarried: She and Derek form a loving and strong marriage that can withstand the good and bad times.
47* HiddenDepths: Odette is very good at playing cards.
48* InnocentBlueEyes: Her eye underscore her benevolent nature, and have bonus connotations with the sky she flies in. In the first film, though they look more purple in the sequels befitting royalty.
49* IronicEcho: "So happy to be here..." She says this in a resigned voice right after she first meets Derek, clearly not meaning it. During her LoveEpiphany, she says it again with sincerity.
50* LaserGuidedKarma: During the opening song, she smashes Derek's treehouse when he and Bromley refuse to let her in, bringing it down on her head and giving all three of them AmusingInjuries.
51* LightIsGood: The princess dressed in white turning into a white swan in golden "light water" and with golden hair is also a beacon of kindness and benevolence. [[spoiler:Used as a subtle plot-point - the villain masquerading as Odette opts for a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver form-fitting black-and-red dress instead.]] Derek doesn't pick up on this until too late.]].
52* LongHairIsFeminine: She had two BraidsOfAction as a child, emphasizing her childhood tomboyishness, but fits the trope in the other stages of her life where she is far more feminine.
53* MamaBear: Odette becomes fiercely protective over Alise. In the words of Scully "There's no strength like a mother's love".
54* MeaningfulName: "Odette" is of French and Old German origin, and its meaning is "wealth". Fitting for someone who's a princess.
55* NiceGirl: She is kind, gentle and sweet to everyone she loves and cares about.
56* OneTrueLove: Her duet with Derek is called "Far Longer Than Forever" for a reason.
57* PinkGirlBlueBoy: As children, she was the Pink Girl to Derek's Blue Boy.
58* PowerOfLove: In the fourth film, apparently her pure love for Derek is strong enough not only to break Rothbart's spell upon her, turning her back into a woman, why this didn't apply any other time she had been turned into a swan is unknown, as well as bringing her husband back from death.
59* PrincessClassic: Looks and acts mostly like a traditional storybook princess; kindness, true love, etc. but she has plenty of backbone.
60* PrincessProtagonist: Odette is the main character, as the plot focuses on her love for Derek and her kidnapping. Like many such princesses, she is kind, beautiful, and good.
61* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Odette isn't adverse to getting her hands dirty; the second film shows her helping Derek with a fire and "A Royal Family Tale" assisting a lumberback who can't work due to injury.
62* SheIsAllGrownUp: As a child Odette wasn't regarded as being especially attractive, but once she reaches adulthood Derek is blown away by how beautiful she's become.
63-->'''Derek:''' ''She started out as such an ugly duckling...And somehow suddenly became a swan.''
64* SingleTargetSexuality: While she did not initially like Derek, he is the only man she showed a romantic interest in.
65* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Odette postponed her marriage with Derek until he could find other reasons to marry her besides her looks.
66* StandardFemaleGrabArea: In the second film, Clavius (an old man and a SquishyWizard who was nearly strangled to death by Uberta) easily subdues her by grabbing her arm.
67* StatuesqueStunner: Grows up to be a very tall woman.
68* SwansASwimming: Is turned into a swan in each film in the original trilogy.
69* ThreeMonthOldNewborn: Has a head full of hair during the celebration for her birth, when William and Uberta get the idea to match her up with Derek.
70* TomboyPrincess: Odette is one as a little girl. When she's introduced to Prince Derek, she instantly puts up her fists; later she's seen fighting him with a wooden sword. She got a GirlinessUpgrade as a teen and adult.
71* VoluntaryShapeshifting: In the second film when she requests that Bridget turn her into a swan so that she can reach Derek, who is riding into Clavius' trap, in time.
72* YouMonster: Gave Rothbart the “you creature!” variation after he throws Derek’s bow into the lake.
73* YouthfulFreckles: She had freckles in her tomboy pre-teen stage. They vanished once she reached her teenaged years.

79
80Derek is one of ''The Swan Princess'' movies' deuteragonists. A brave and daring prince, he is deeply in love with Odette and devotes himself to rescuing her when she's captured by the devious Rothbart.
81----
82* ArrangedMarriage: With Odette, courtesy of their parents, to unite their kingdoms. It eventually turns into a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage.
83* ArrowCatch: Whether it's one arrow, or a whole clearing full of crossbow bolts all coming at him at once, he can catch them. "Practice! Practice! Practice!"
84* BabiesEverAfter: Downplayed. He and Odette adopt an orphaned village girl, Alise, by the end of ''A Royal Family Tale''.
85* BewareTheNiceOnes: Derek is an easygoing, good-hearted fellow. He's also an expert in swordsmanship and archery...and not afraid to use them when necessary.
86* BowAndSwordInAccord: Wields a longsword, but is a dead shot with a bow.
87* BrattyHalfPint: While he and Odette mutually disliked each other during their childhood, she ''did'' make attempts to befriend him. However, Derek rebuffed any such attempts and treated her with utter contempt.
88* CannotSpitItOut: A particularly severe case, probably due to him being ObliviousToLove for so long.
89-->'''Rogers:''' Surely you must see something other than Odette's beauty!
90-->'''Derek:''' Of ''course'' I do, Rogers! She's like...you know...how about...and then...! I mean, right? I...I don't know how to say it!
91* CharacterDevelopment: The first movie has him realize why he loves Odette so much and learn how to truly appreciate her.
92* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: How does he gain ImprobableAimingSkills and SuperReflexes? "Day after day, all the prince ever does, is ''practice, practice, practice.''"
93* ChekhovsSkill: "Catch and Fire", a game where Brom shoots an arrow at him, and Derek catches it and fires it back, is used to defeat Rothbart.
94* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Downplayed. He and Odette knew each other as children, as both of their parents set them up to be married and wanted the two to get to know each other. However, neither could stand each other and would make it known. It was only when they became adults that they fell in love.
95* CrazyJealousGuy: In their teenage years, Derek would get jealous of Odette seemingly flirting with the castle guards she talked to.
96* DemotedToExtra: Downplayed. He and Odette become deuteragonists as of the sixth film and onwards, which gives their [[SpinOffSpring daughter]] the spotlight along with Lucas.
97* {{Deuteragonist}} The second main focus after Odette and even [[DemotedToExtra more]] so after Alise and Lucas become the two main protagonists.
98* GirlsHaveCooties: Right after first meeting Odette when they were both children, Uberta forces him to kiss Odette's hand. Derek treats this as unspeakably disgusting and is still complaining about it several ''years'' later.
99* GoodParents: He is a loving, protective, and devoted father to Alise.
100* HairstyleInertia: Derek's chin-length hairstyle has been the same since his youth.
101* HappilyMarried: He and Odette form a loving and strong marriage that can withstand the good and bad times.
102* HeIsAllGrownUp: Downplayed. Odette is definitely more attracted to him once they become adults, but only after the first time he smiled at her, showing that [[BrattyHalfPint his character]] had [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan improved]].
103* HeroicBSOD: After Odette's death in the third movie, he faces a breakdown.
104* ImprobableAimingSkills: Can snipe at two birds at a great distance, loose multiple arrows simultaneously, and slice an apple clean in two with one arrow.
105* ManlyTears: In the third film, Zelda actually kills Odette. When Derek finds out, he breaks down crying.
106* MeaningfulName: In English, the meaning of the name "Derek" is either "Gifted ruler" or "People ruler". Fitting for a prince who goes out of his way to help the citizens of his kingdom.
107* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: When he sees Odette dying from his MistakenDeclarationOfLove to Bridget.]] Also, while neither he nor Odette said anything about it, Derek's expression indicates he was ''thinking'' this when he [[spoiler: realized that the swan he was trying to shoot a few moments ago was actually Odette.]]
108* NiceGuy: Derek grows into a polite, chivalrous, and selfless person.
109* ObliviousToLove: While the case could be made that Odette had feelings for Derek before they were adults, due to her constant attempts to spend time with him, Derek is 100% blind as a bat to his own feelings for his entire life, up until meeting Odette again in the ballroom. He even comments, "'Til now, I never knew..." during his LoveEpiphany.
110* OneTrueLove: His duet with Odette is called "Far Longer Than Forever" for a reason.
111* PapaWolf: Becomes fiercely protective over Alise. He didn't like the fact that his part in her rescue plan during ''A Royal Family Tale'' involved a fake sleep.
112* PinkGirlBlueBoy: As children, he was the Blue Boy to Odette's Pink Girl.
113* PrinceCharming: He's a prince and he can be rather charming, but only once he becomes an adult and experiences a good deal of character development.
114* PrinceCharmless: When he was younger, he started out as an arrogant RoyalBrat.
115* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Derek is very kind to his staff!
116* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: When he realizes Rothbart tricked him he goes all "DON'T YOU ''DARE'' LET HER DIE!".
117* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like his wife, Derek likes to help the citizens with whatever troubles befalls them.
118* SingleTargetSexuality: While he did not initially like Odette, she is the only woman he showed a romantic interest in.
119* TookALevelInKindness: Derek goes from the boy who acted like a rude brat to Odette to the man who would truly value her as a person.
120* WarriorPrince: Is a very good fighter who practices every day and is not afraid to leap into battle in the first film and its sequels.

127
128A young orphan who's adopted by Odette and Derek in ''The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale'' after her biological father is killed by the Forbidden Arts.
129----
130* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: After her biological father was killed in a fire, Derek and Odette took her in until they could find any other relatives of hers that she could live with--but once they discover that Alise didn't have any other living relatives outside of her father, they decide to adopt her as their daughter.
131* AscendedExtra: Starts off as a deutergonist in her debut movie, ''A Royal Family Tale'', but becomes the new protagonist of the series in the future installments.
132* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest main character is a child.
133* ChildhoodFriendRomance: She and Lucas meet as kids in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' and become an OfficialCouple as adults in ''Kingdoms of Music''.
134* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Odette. Both are brave, {{nice girl}}s who lost their father, Odette as an adult and Alise as a child. While her mother was a princess at birth, Alise was [[AdoptedIntoRoyalty adopted]] into it. Odette was often turned into a swan, while Alise has yet to magically transformed. And while Odette had a belligerent relationship with Derek (a prince) until they grew up, Alise gets along great with Lucas (a tulip farmer).
135* CuteMute: For most of ''A Royal Family Tale'', she's unable/unwilling to speak because she's still too traumatized by her father's assassination. Since she is unable to speak, she expresses herself in other ways, such as giving Odette and Derek a heart-shaped wreath.
136* DamselInDistress: Gets kidnapped by the Forbidden Arts and Mangler the Scullion to lure Odette into a trap.
137* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In various screenshots in ''A Royal Family Tale'', her eyes change from pale blue to teal to green to brown and vice versa due to animation errors. Come ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'', she officially has blue eyes.
138* ExpositoryHairstyleChange For most of ''A Royal Family Tale'', Alise keeps her long hair. By the end, her hair is now cut with a braid across the top.
139* HappilyAdopted: Derek and Odette adopt her as their daughter at the end of ''A Royal Family Tale'', and she calls them "Mommy" and "Daddy" while hugging them.
140* HeartwarmingOrphan: Her father is accidentally killed by the Forbidden Arts, leaving her in the care of Odette and Derek until they can track down any other living relatives who can take care of her. She certainly makes everyone in the castle happier now that there is child in the castle again.
141* HiddenDepths: She shows some skill at cooking.
142* InnocentBlueEyes: Blue eyes and a sweet, helpful girl.
143* IWantSong: ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' is about her desire to explore the world and be more than just a bundle of "ribbons and curls" that knows a hundred different curtsies.
144* MeaningfulName: "Alise" is Spanish for "Of the nobility". She becomes a princess at the end of ''A Royal Family Tale''.
145* MirrorCharacter: Like Odette, she lost her father due to the evil of the Forbidden Arts. At the end of the movie she even becomes a princess, too.
146* NiceGirl: She's friendly, brave, and selfless.
147* RagsToRoyalty: She starts off a humble villager. She then becomes the adopted daughter of Odette and Derek, making her the princess of her home.
148* RebelliousPrincess: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. As seen in her IWantSong, she knows she has responsibilities as a princess and is fully okay with fulfilling them but she wants to have some adventures first. It's kind of like the practice of a "gap year" in real life.
149-->'''Alise''': I know who I am and I'll take my place...I'll be a princess tomorrow but a pirate today!
150* SpinOffSpring: As of ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'', Alise is the new protagonist of the series.
151* TomboyPrincess: ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' shows she'd rather be a PirateGirl than a ProperLady. She also finds being/playing at being a spy to be really cool and prefers sliding down the bannisters of her castle's stairs rather then using the stairs themselves.
152* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' reveals that Alise is more of a tomboy, but ''A Royal Family Tale'' showed her making a heart-shaped wreath and [[HiddenDepths apparently being quite good at cooking.]]
153* TookALevelInBadass: She spends most of ''A Royal Family Tale'' being rescued. Come ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' and other sequel installments, she ''does'' the rescuing herself.
154* WiseBeyondHerYears: Derek gives a line to his mother implying this.
155-->'''Derek:''' It'll take a lot to outsmart her.
156* WorldOfNoGrandparents: Her biological father was her only living relative--Derek and Odette ultimately adopt her as their daughter near the end of her debut film.

160[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucas_the_swan_princess_a_royal_myztery_336.jpg]]
161->Voiced by: Grant Durazzo
162
163A young lad that Alise befriends in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today''.
164----
165* ActionSurvivor: Managed to survive on an island of human-eating monsters just by using his quick wit.
166* BarefootPoverty: Went footless for the entirety of ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today''. He's seen wearing a pair in the next movie.
167* BrainyBrunette: He has black hair and has shown to very smart for his age.
168* ChildhoodFriendRomance: He and Alise meet as kids in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' and become an OfficialCouple as adults in ''Kingdoms of Music''.
169* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Derek. Both are the male deuteragonists to Odette (Derek) and Alise (Lucas) and would do anything for their female counterparts. However, Derek was born a prince who had a rocky relationship with Odette in their childhood until they became adults; Lucas was born into a lower class family and has a much friendlier relationship with Alise than her parents had.
170* DarkAndTroubledPast: Downplayed. Lucas didn't suffer any kind of abuse and didn't have a terrible relationship with either parent. However, his father had an accident that made it unable for him to work and thus the family was becoming poor. His parents were decided to send him to an orphanage so he could be better taken care of. Lucas overheard and ran away as a result. Then, he ended up on an island of human-eating monsters.
171* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second main focus in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' and ''Royally Undercover'' after Alise.
172* HumbleHero: It is indeed hard to make the kid accept credit for the heroic stuff he does.
173* ImNotAHeroIm: In his opinion, he is nothing more than a tulip farmer.
174* ImpliedLoveInterest: To Alise. They become one another's best friend during their time together in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'', have a similar dynamic to Alise's parents in the latter couple's adulthood, and both of the kids would do anything to help the other. ''Kingdom of Music'' confirms that Lucas does have feelings for Alise as he is jealous of her apparent feelings for Prince Li.
175* LeParkour: He can move through trees as if he were a flying squirrel like Brodie and is also capable in urban environments.
176* NiceGuy: Lucas is a friendly person in general.
177* RagsToRiches: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. In ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'', he ran away from home because his parents considered sending him to an orphanage because they wanted to ensure he be properly cared for. ''Royally Undercover'' shows that while his family aren't rich, they are a lot better off.
178* TheRunaway: He ran away from home when his parents contemplated putting him an orphanage to be taken care of properly.
179* SignificantWardrobeShift: In his debut movie, Lucas was shown wearing raggedy clothing and [[BarefootPoverty shoeless]], showing how poor he is. By the next movie, he's wearing nicer clothing with shoes, symbolizing that his family is faring well.
180* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lucas looks like a younger/more masculine version of his mother.

184
185[[folder:King William]]
186[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_william.png]]
187->Voiced by: Creator/DakinMatthews
188
189King William was Odette's loving father and the ruler of his kingdom. Early in the first film, he was assassinated by Rothbart, a court warlock whom William exiled.
190----
191* BigOlEyebrows: He has thick, bushy, greyish eyebrows.
192* CharacterDeath: Mauled by Rothbart's beastly form, the Great Animal.
193* DiedInYourArmsTonight: In Derek's. Part of his cryptic LastWords ("It's not what it seems") are what make Derek eventually realize that the "Great Animal" is a magical shapeshifter.
194* TheGoodKing: He's certainly a benevolent monarch given the mercy he showed Rothbart (though that wasn't such a good idea).
195* GoodParents: He cared a great deal for his daughter, enough to call off an arranged marriage years in the making because she wasn't happy with her potential husband (then, anyway).
196* ReluctantWarrior: According to Odette, he didn't like to talk about war but he was apparently good at it. Another king in ''Royally Undercover'' recalls a time when William saved his life during battle.
197* WeHardlyKnewYe: He dies early on in the first film.
198* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: William refused to kill Rothbart or imprison him despite the latter vowing revenge and the narrator alludes to this trope by saying "many feared the king ''too'' kind''."

201[[folder:Queen Uberta]]
202[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_swan_princess_2_the_swan_princess_2_34025094_720_405.jpg]]
203->Voiced by: Creator/SandyDuncan (first film) Cristy Landers (second and third film), Jennifer Miller (fourth film and onward)
204
205Queen Uberta is Derek's loving, but extremely ditzy, mother. It was her, along with William, who arranged Derek and Odette's marriage in order to unite their kingdoms.
206----
207* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Her habit of arranging beauty pageants disguised as balls and faking her own death to press how much she wants grandchildren regularly embarrasses her only son.
208%%* BetaCouple: With Lord Rogers.
209* CoolOldLady: Alise introduces her to Lucas as such, "That's my grandmother, Queen Uberta. She's intense but awesome."
210* DeadpanSnarker: She's light on the "deadpan" in most circumstances but always snappy and sarcastic with her barbs.
211* DamselInDistress: Due to Odette not being the damsel in the second film, Uberta is the one that needs to be rescued by Odette and Derek from the clutches of Clavius.
212* DefiantCaptive: Clavius finds this out the hard way when she commandeers his lackey to fix up her cell and then tells him off for complaining about it.
213* DotingGrandparent: When she meets Alise, a young girl that Derek and Odette adopted, Uberta wastes no time in buying Alise everything she might like, from a dollhouse to pets to a "Prince Leopold" doll.
214* GenkiGirl: Despite being in her late 40's to 50's she has the energy of a teenager.
215* HartmanHips: Is pretty shapely.
216* TheHighQueen: She has been reigning on her own for presumably a long time and has the authority to enact whatever hairbrained scheme she desires.
217* IWantGrandkids: Reaching to absurd levels -- her first appearance in ''A Royal Family Tale'' has Uberta telling Derek and Odette that she's dying in order to convince them to have a child before her "death".
218* LargeHam: She has no sense of subtlety. Her fake-death plan was quickly given away by it.
219* MamaBear: Was ready and willing to fight the BigBad of ''Royally Undercover'' because he kidnapped Alise.
220* MotorMouth: As Clavius, sadly for him, finds out, once she starts talking it's impossible to stop her.
221* MyBelovedSmother: Becomes a grandmother version of this to Alise in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' -- giving her grandchild daily lessons about how to be a princess for ''the whole summer''.
222* OpposedMentors: She and Rogers constantly butt heads over how to raise Alise -- she wants to spoil her granddaughter while teaching her how to be a ProperLady, while Rogers wants to enrich Alise's mind with lessons and adventures.
223* PityTheKidnapper: She ''just'' won't stop talking, and Clavius can't handle her.
224* WolfInSheepsClothing: Rogers saw her as this when he accused her of sending Zelda back to her “accordian-loving king” (or at least a unique variation: a wolf in queen’s clothing.)
225* TheWonka: Regardless of Uberta's egoism and suicidal levels of courage, her kingdom is prosperous. The only unhappy people in it are the aristocrats who have to deal with her histrionics on a daily basis.
226* YoungerThanTheyLook: She turns 50 years old in the first sequel, which means she was 49 in the first film, yet she has completely gray hair throughout, even in the prologue when Derek is a small child and she would only have been in her late 20's/early 30's.

232
233Bromley is Derek's childhood chap. Though not the bravest or the most competent lad, he comes through for his fellow prince when it truly matters.
234----
235* BigDamnHero: At the end of the first film, he provides the arrow that Derek needs to defeat the Great Animal, who is the form of Rothbart.
236* ButtMonkey: He is the butt of every joke and regularly makes a fool of himself.
237* CheatersNeverProsper: He cheats in every game or competition he engages in versus Derek, but always ends up losing anyway.
238* ChildhoodFriends: With Derek and Odette; joining in on the "this is my idea" with them.
239* CowardlyLion: Despite his LovableCoward nature, he pulls through during Derek's final battle with Rothbart.
240* CowardlySidekick: He can be relied on to assist and follow Derek until things get dangerous.
241* HeroicWannabe: Lampshaded by Rogers many times by poking his bubble of hot air boasting.
242* TheKlutz: Bromley has an unfortunate habit of accidentally causing other people problems with his own clumsiness.
243* LovableCoward: Despite his boasts, he has a distinct lack of "c-c-c-courage".

249
250As the first footman working in Uberta's kingdom, Sir Chamberlain also serves as the Master of Ceremonies when his mistress, Queen Uberta, throws one of her pageant balls.
251----
252* ButtMonkey: A comical bloke, his purpose in the series is to suffer comic mishaps and be bossed around by Uberta. Despite being loyal, Chamberlain can also get into some trouble at times. For example, he accidentally blows a bird nest on top of his mistress’ head.
253* DeadpanSnarker: He mocks Uberta when she's not looking so it has to be low key.
254* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Uberta likely doesn't know his name, just his title, even though he’s the first footman.
255* SingingVoiceDissonance: Has a deep, rich singing voice in contrast to his somewhat nasally English speaking voice.

261
262Lord Rogers is Derek's court musician advisor, as well as being Uberta’s personal valet. An intellectual bloke, he doesn't suffer fools easily, especially Bromley.
263----
264* BetaCouple: With Uberta, even if he’s her own valet. At least until the end of the fifth film when they realize they're BetterAsFriends.
265* DeadpanSnarker: An endless fountain of sarcasm.
266-->'''Rogers:''' She says, 'Is beauty all that matters?', and ''you'' say, 'What else is there?'?! You should write a book; ''How To Offend Women In 5 Syllables Or Less''.
267* ElegantClassicalMusician: In addition to being both a councilor and a valet, he is also the maestro, which makes him a musician advisor.
268* TheGadfly: Teases and plays tricks on [[ButtMonkey Bromley]] for fun, especially in the first movie and most of all about his lack of "c-c-c-courage".
269* GadgeteerGenius: Starting with ''Royally Undercover'', he demonstrates a new talent for tinkering tools and creating inventions. First with ''Franchise/JamesBond'' style gadgets and then ''ghost rope'', which can grant anything that can fit into a large glass jar the properties of a ghost.
270* ManChild: Even though he is a middle-aged Lord, there are times he doesn't act his age, especially in later installments with his childish bickering and quarrels with Uberta.
271* OpposedMentors: He and Uberta constantly butt heads over how to raise Alise -- he wants to enrich Alise's mind with lessons and adventures, while Uberta wants to spoil her granddaughter while teaching her how to be a ProperLady.
272* SecondLove: To Uberta, since her husband was long dead and they are now a BetaCouple, since he’s actually a Lord, but also takes his duties as both valet and musician advisor. Due to StatusQuoIsGod, they're back to bickering with each other as usual, so it doesn't pan out.
273* YouMonster: He says this directly to Uberta’s face after he accuses her of sending Zelda back to her king.

279->Voiced by: Bess Hopper (first film), Rosie Mann (second film), Catherine Levine (fourth film and onward)
280
281Bridget is Rothbart's former assistant who turned good after her master was killed. She is the love interest of Sir Chamberlain.
282----
283* CoolOldLady: Bridget appears to be elderly, and following her HeelFaceTurn is shown to be a helpful ally to both Derek and Odette. In the second film, she's able to use the Forbidden Arts' magic to turn Odette back into a swan, allowing the latter to fly out of her prison cell to find Derek, and actively helps the animals to keep the orb out of Clavius' hands. In the Christmas special, she works as a spy on Derek's behalf to keep tabs on Rothbart's ghost, and helps to trap him.
284* EasilyForgiven: Odette doesn't seem to mind that Bridget almost killed her by helping Rothbart's scheme and instead allows Bridget to carry her bridal train. In the second movie, Bridget is even a member of the castle as some sort of lady-in-waiting and seems to enjoy her new life. But then, Clavius captures Bridget and pressures her (under presumed threat of physical harm based on how she winces) to trick the animals into giving her the orb to then give to him. She does so and Clavius promptly kicks her down to join the animals and no one reacts to this betrayal. This is especially bizarre since Uberta is Clavius's prisoner and the magician had already proven that he could not be trusted to release her as he set a trap to kill Derek.
285* EvilOldFolks: She's older than Rothbart and looks like a WickedWitch. After her HeelFaceTurn, she looks more like someone's doting grandmother.
286* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She inexplicably goes from Rothbart's minion in the first film to an ally and supporting character in the sequels. In the Christmas special, Bridget briefly seems to serve Rothbart again when he returns as a ghost - even claiming that she ''misses'' working for him - but this turns out to be a ruse with her luring Rothbart into Derek's trap, clearly showing her loyalty now lies entirely with the heroes.
287* HeelFaceTurn: She joined Odette's employment after helping Rothbart keep her imprisoned.
288* HulkSpeak: Her prime of speaking is primitive. For example, when warning Odette about the possible permanent nature of the swan change in the second movie, "Odette be swan for long time".
289* KavorkaMan: A rare female example. Chamberlain isn't the most handsome guy around, but he's still leagues above Bridget. Nevertheless, he flirts right back with her in the end.
290* LoveAtFirstSight: With Chamberlain. Yes, faster than the main couple.
291* LoveRedeems: Her crush on Chamberlain is implied to be a factor in her HeelFaceTurn.
292* MinionWithAnFInEvil: She never really does anything evil other than tricking Derek into confessing to her.
293* PluckyComicRelief: Even as a villain she provided gags and comical moments.
294* PsychoticSmirk: Shoots one at Odette when impersonating her.
295* PunchClockVillain: She's not evil, she just works for Rothbart.
296* SheCleansUpNicely: Both when disguised as Odette and post-HeelFaceTurn she looks less like a wicked witch but for different reasons. Odette is obviously a beauty but the latter case is the polish of living in a castle.
297* SuddenlyVoiced: In the original film she mostly makes vague grunting noises, but during Rothbart's VillainSong she exclaims "One more time!" and while transformed to look like Odette at the ball she speaks with Odette's voice. Then in the sequels she upgrades to HulkSpeak. Maybe Odette and Derek tutored her?
298* WickedWitch: It's a complex example. In the first movie she was wicked but did not demonstrate magic. Post-HeelFaceTurn it's revealed she learned the Forbidden Arts from Rothbart. As such, she is the only living practitioner of the Forbidden Arts.
299* The Worf Effect: Despite clearly having the upper hand over Clavius when helping the animals escape with the Forbidden Arts, Clavius is implied to have somehow overpowered Bridget offscreen, and uses her to trick the animals into handing the orb to him.
300* VagueAge: Her grey hair and strained voice seem to imply that Bridget is elderly, though she's surprisingly physical, survives through all of the sequels despite them taking place over at least a decade, and has a romance with the seemingly middle-aged Chamberlain. This could suggest that she's actually [[YoungerThanTheyLook not that old after all, but simply looks that way]].
301* YouNoTakeCandle: "Ready or no, here I coming."

304[[folder:King Maximillian]]
305->Voiced by: Jesse Lapierre
306
307Uberta's long-disappeared husband and Derek's father, Maximillian, or Max, is the former King of Chamberg and former head of the Council Of Crowns, introduced via flashbacks in ''A Fairy Tale Is Born''.
308----
309* ClearMyName: Following his disappearance, the Council Of Crowns believe that King Maximillian against their orders and tried to make a deal with a vicious gang of pirates, resulting in his kidnapping and murder. The plot of ''Far Longer Than Forever'' revolves around Derek and Odette trying to uncover the truth behind his abduction and find the real mastermind behind these crimes.
310* DisappearedDad: Other than a single reference to Uberta being widowed in the opening narration of the original film, Derek's father goes unnamed and completely unmentioned for the majority of the series. After nearly three decades, he would ''finally'' be introduced in the penultimate film.
311* HumbleHero: Max was not born into royalty, and is unexpectedly crowned King of Chamberg when Uberta - a distant relative of the previous ruler - is suddenly given the throne. Max wonders if he is fit to rule, but ultimately uses his newfound power for good and never lets it get to his head, and despite his youth is even named the head of the Council of Crowns. When he finally returns home and sees how many lives he's impacted, Max is visibly moved to tears.
312* ModestRoyalty: In stark contrast to the other royal figures, including his own wife, Max foregoes fancy garments for a simple purple tunic, a messily-attached red cape, and he wears his crown at a crooked angle on his head.
313* OlderThanTheyLook: The flashbacks show Max to be an unkempt, handsome young man with dark hair and a large, strapping build, making him look noticeably younger than both Uberta and Rogers in these scenes. He looks exactly the same when he's rescued in the present day, due to the same character model being used, making it seem that he hasn't aged at all despite over two decades having passed since his disappearance.
314* RookieRedRanger: Despite him being the newest and youngest member of the Council Of Crowns, after his successful handling of the crime wave, King Sebastian appoints Maximillian to succeed him as the new head of the Council. This inadvertently prompts King Ivan to plot against Max in order to seize the position himself.
315* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The Council Of Crowns clearly regard Max as something of a trailblazer, as he constantly prompts them to take more direct action in helping their subjects, even those that the council would otherwise dismiss as thieves and barbarians.
316* PosthumousCharacter: Despite being long-gone in the main narrative, a significant chunk of ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' is dedicated to developing King Max and his backstory via flashbacks. This is ultimately {{subverted|Trope}} when the next film, ''Far Longer Than Forever'', reveals that he isn't dead after all.

320->Voiced by: Mela Lee
321
322King William's wife and Odette's late mother, introduced via flashbacks in ''A Fairy Tale Is Born''.
323----
324* DeathByChildbirth: ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' reveals that she had a difficult delivery, and passed away shortly after giving birth to Odette.
325* ForgottenFallenFriend: Played with. Despite ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' revealing that Aubri and Uberta were good friends prior to the former's death, neither Uberta or any other characters ever mention her in any film after this point. However, it is heavily implied that Uberta [[ArrangedFriendship was determined to pair Odette and Derek together]] at least partially to honor Aubri's memory, retroactively showing that Odette's mother did have a significant impact on the previous events.
326* MissingMom: Despite the original film opening with Odette's birth, her mother is not seen or mentioned for the vast majority of the series. After nearly three decades, the eleventh film would ''finally'' provide a canon explanation for her absence.
327* PosthumousCharacter: Despite being long dead in the main narrative, a significant chunk of ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' is dedicated to developing Queen Aubri and her friendship with Uberta via flashbacks.

335
336Rothbart is the central antagonist of the franchise, serving as the main villain of the first film and the fourth film. A ruthless and greedy warlock, he uses his mastery of the Forbidden Arts to assassinate King William and kidnap Princess Odette in order to force her to marry him.
337----
338* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Wants to marry Odette so that he can legally take over William's kingdom.
339* BadassCape: He wears a hooded BlackCloak appropriate for a mighty and cruel enchanter.
340* BadBoss: He betrayed Clavius ''AND'' Zelda for sole control of the Forbidden Arts. Neither of them have forgiven him for this.
341* BaldOfEvil: He's half-bald, but he sports a wicked pair of sideburns that merge with his red moustache.
342* BatOutOfHell: His Great Animal form, which is a giant [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife green]] fruit bat with eagle legs.
343* BigBad: He's the main villain of the first movie, being responsible for Odette's father's death, her abduction, and her predicament
344* BlackMagic: The Forbidden Arts, which give him the power to create, change, or destroy anything.
345* CameBackStrong: In the fourth installment, Rothbart came BackFromTheDead, and anything that used to work on him now doesn't.
346* CardCarryingVillain: "No More Mister Nice Guy" is basically him bragging about how evil he is and how much he's looking forward to cutting loose.
347* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: The list of people he stabbed in the back are as follows: first Clavius, then Zelda, and finally William. That's everyone he's ever worked with except Bridget.
348* DarkIsEvil: He's an EvilSorcerer who's never seen without his black cape despite his dress underneath is more bright.
349* DisneyVillainDeath: Gets shot in the heart with an arrow and falls into the lake.
350* EvilRedhead: Has red hair and facial hair and is evil.
351* EvilSorcerer: He is a master at the ''Forbidden'' Arts.
352* EvilSoundsRaspy: His low, raspy voice is pretty unnerving.
353* TheExile: He was exiled by King William for plotting a coup against the kingdom.
354* FauxAffablyEvil: He is polite, even apologetic at times, but unequivocally evil and loving it.
355* GiantFlyer: As the Great Animal, he is a wolf-headed wyvern-like monster.
356* GlovedFistOfDoom: He does it in the first movie when he crashes the ball to tell Derek he failed.
357--> "No, Odette... ''[clenches his hand tightly close to the camera]'' is MINE!"
358* KnightOfCerebus: LargeHam tendencies aside, Rothbart is a genuine sinister and threatening villain whose EstablishingCharacterMoment is brutally assassinating King William before casting Odette under the swan curse. Also his Great Animal form is truly frightening.
359* LackOfEmpathy: He doesn't care at all about the suffering his actions bring.
360* MasterOfIllusion: Using the Forbidden Arts, he has the power to change everything around him, be it with illusions or the real deal.
361* NoOntologicalInertia: Odette's curse and death are undone when he dies.
362* OlderThanTheyLook: About 20 years pass between his banishment and his revenge, yet he doesn't look a single day older.
363* OneWingedAngel: His "final boss fight" form is a giant bat which means it is okay for TheHero to kill him with an arrow to the heart.
364* PragmaticVillainy: Refuses to conquer William's land by force because he would have to deal with the LaResistance and other villains trying to steal it from him.
365--> "Once you steal something, you spend your whole life fighting to keep it."
366* RealityWarper: Using the Forbidden Arts, he can transform anything into something else. That is the Power to Change.
367* TheSociopath: He cares only about power and nothing else. Marrying Odette is just a mean to his ends as he's never shown being in love with her and when she found a way to break the spell he decides to kill her along with Derek and take over the kingdom by force.
368* VillainousBreakdown: Averted. Despite threatening to "[[LargeHam BOIL OVER!!!]]", he never truly loses composure and is quick to calm himself.
369* VillainousLegacy: He is the reason the antagonists of the sequels were after Odette; his magic orb and his magic notes.
370* VillainSong: His VillainSong, "No More Mister Nice Guy", details how evil and petty he is.
371* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Can transform into the Great Animal at will.
372* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: As noted above in PragmaticVillainy, Rothbart was trying to take over William's kingdom by getting Odette to marry him and thereby legally make himself king. Odette noted that he had enough power to take it over if he wanted, but Rothbart had already tried that before William banished him.
373* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Rothbart did this a lot to anyone he worked with - Clauvius and Zelda, respectively. Once he had the Forbidden Arts in his possession he cut them both off.
374[[/folder]]
375
376[[folder:Clavius]]
377[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clavius.jpg]]
378->Voiced by: Jake Williamson, Michael Lanning (singing voice)
379
380Clavius is an evil and dangerous magician who serves as the main antagonist of ''The Swan Princess II: Escape from Castle Mountain''. Sirs Clavius and Rothbart, who was his former friend and partner in crime, conquered the Forbidden Arts together. However, Rothbart took all the power for himself and drove Clavius underground. Years later Clavius returned, intending to use the Arts to carry on where Rothbart failed and conquer the world.
381----
382* BadBoss: His co-conspirator, Knuckles, gets nothing but criticism, due to his incompetence and his failure to kill Prince Derek.
383* BeardOfEvil: He has a stereotypical wizard beard.
384* BigBadDuumvirate: With Rothbart before he was betrayed.
385* BlackMagic: The Forbidden Arts, again.
386* EvilSorcerer: He looks the part more than Rothbart.
387* {{Greed}}: His motivation, as outlined in his VillainSong, is acquiring things for its own sake.
388* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His final attempt to steal the Forbidden Arts from Derek results in him getting trapped in his own fortress and leaving the enchanted orb to slam into the ground, which was enough to cause the mountain to erupt, taking him with it.
389* LargeHam: He's introduced by loudly resenting a dead partner while throwing daggers at a DartBoardOfHate. After he gets the Forbidden Arts, he signs a rock song with a magic guitar.
390* MagicMusic: Once getting the Forbidden Arts he celebrates by using his magic to rock out.
391%%* NoNonsenseVillain
392* RealityWarper: While he doesn't go crazy when using the Forbidden Arts, he's still able to pull of some very impressive magical feats.
393-->"The power to create is mine, and the power to change, oh joy! The power to re-arrange your life and the power to destroy!"
394* SingingVoiceDissonance: His voice during "You Gotta Love It" is a rockstar's growl. The rest of the time he is noticeably nasally. This is probably due to the change in voice actor.
395* SmallNameBigEgo: Refuses to believe Derek can possibly outwit him, and is ''hellbent'' on proving himself greater than Rothbart.
396* TakeOverTheWorld: Like his predecessor, he wants to rule the world.
397* VillainSong: ''You Gotta Love It'' describes how quickly he becomes DrunkWithPower and all the evil things he's going to use it for.
398* WizardBeard: Has a long gray beard and is obviously a magician.

401[[folder:Knuckles]]
402[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knuckles_42.png]]
403->Voiced by: Joey Carmen
404Knuckles is Clavius’ co-conspirator and the secondary antagonist of ''The Swan Princess II: Escape from Castle Mountain''.
405----
406* AssholeVictim: Has been terrorizing Derek and Odette's kingdom by setting fires to fields and trying to kill Derek through traps on his master's orders. When he actually succeeds in trapping Derek in quicksand, he laughs at the prince's pleas for mercy and leaves him to die. Later, when actually ''saved'' by Derek, while begging for his life, he tries to kill Derek anyway. So he later gets what's coming to him when he falls to his death for all the grief he has caused throughout the film.
407* BrooklynRage: Despite the medieval period, English setting, and some English accents of the other characters (except Derek, Odette, Speed and Jean Bob), he speaks in a heavy Brooklyn accent which somewhat complements his brutish and thuggish aspects.
408* ButtMonkey: While he is a villain and proves to be quite dangerous, when not on the job, Knuckles can be bullied by authoritative figures into doing what they want. Queen Uberta actually gets Knuckles to redecorate her prison cell to her liking. It takes Claudius yelling at him to cut it out and even then, both are fighting over who gets to boss Knuckles around.
409* TheBrute: He provides the muscle for his SquishyWizard master.
410* DirtyCoward: During a fight with Derek, he begs to be saved but uses the opportunity to get an easy kill. This unfortunately becomes his last mistake.
411* DisneyVillainDeath: He plummets to his death courtesy of Derek cutting the rope he was using to traverse to his master's volcano hideout.
412* KarmicDeath: He tries to kill Derek, and later Odette, by tossing them over a cliff into molten lava. He ends up suffering this fate when Derek cuts the rope line carrying his trolley to save Odette, leaving him to plummet to his death as he screams all the way down...
413* HiddenDepths: Knuckles is more brawns than brain but he's shown to be surprisingly cunning and creative when it comes to his traps. While he maybe a bit of a ruffian, he seems to respect royalty as he did everything Queen Uberta told him to.
414* MeaningfulName: His name is Knuckles and he's definitely more on the brawnier and burlier side. After growing tired of Derek surviving trap after trap, he settles on trying to kill Derek with his bare hands.
415* ISurrenderSuckers: After "thanking" Derek for saving him, he calls out Derek for his mercy and throws him over the cliff. Fortunately, Derek survives. Unfortunately for Knuckles, this later gets him killed.
416* TrapMaster: Can make some pretty elaborate traps, thanks to Claudius's machinations, unfortunately Derek's training allows him to easily get past them; nonetheless, if it were any lesser man, they might have actually perished to Knuckles' traps.
417* UngratefulBastard: Despite leaving Derek to die in quicksand, Derek is noble enough to save Knuckles from falling over a cliff when he's barely hanging on. He repays this kindness by tossing Derek over that same cliff.

423
424The main antagonist of the ''The Swan Princess III: The Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure'', Zelda is an evil sorceress and Rothbart's former partner in both senses of the word. After he ditched her to try and force Odette to marry him instead, she struck out on her own and tried to use the Forbidden Arts to take over the world.
425----
426* BlackMagic: [[RuleOfThree The Forbidden Arts]] and her seekers.
427* ButterFace: From the back she's almost as shapely as Odette. [[{{Gonk}} Then she turns round...]]
428%%* ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow
429* {{Fauxreigner}}: When she tries to seduce Lord Rogers, she [[KingIncognito disguises herself as a pretty German girl]], while she is in fact North-Western European, possibly British, most likely due to the English accents by some characters and the costumes that some of the characters wore are possibly based off of Anglo-Saxons and the Renaissance of both Germany and England.
430* {{Fireballs}}: Her Seekers are made of fire but don't burn anything.
431* ForgotICouldFly: Very much Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad here, as if she hadn't conveniently forgotten she could use Seekers until the climax, [[FridgeHorror most of the cast would be dead]].
432* HeroKiller: She kills Odette with her destroying Seeker in the climax.
433* LargeHam: As hammy as Rothbart before her. Best exemplified when she’s writing the ransom letter.
434-->Dear Prince Derek, I have kidnapped your sweet Odette, PERIOD!
435-->If you want to see her alive again, COMMA!, then meet me at the mouth of the western river with the missing section of Rothbart's notes!
436-->EXCLAMATION! EXCLAMATION! EXCLAMATION!
437* MatchstickWeapon: Zelda's MagicWand creates green {{Fireballs}}. These fireballs don't cause physical damage and instead are used to seek out and capture targets. After Zelda gains the power to destroy, the wand is able to create a [[FireIsRed red variation]] of her fireballs which [[spoiler:kills Odette. Fortunately, she is returned after Derek destroys Zelda's notes]].
438* NeverMessWithGranny: Even before she had the Forbidden Arts she could do magic and deceive people.
439* RealityWarper: Using the Forbidden Arts just like Clavius allow her to do whatever she wants.
440* StoryBreakerPower: ''Destroying'' Seekers, essentially OneHitKill ''homing'' fireballs that ''never'' stop chasing you no matter how far you run. The only way to stop one is to break the caster's wand.
441* SuperPersistentMissile: Much like ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s Omega Beams, her seekers will ''not'' stop until they hit something. You can't outrun them, nor hide behind something.
442* TakeOverTheWorld: She even states in her VillainSong that the world is "her plaything, her yo-yo, her toy".
443* UnholyMatrimony: With Rothbart before she [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness was banished]].
444* TheVamp: Seduces Rogers in order to gain access to Rothbart's notes.
445* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While she has her quirks, she's easily one of the darkest villains in the entire series.
446* VillainSong: ''Ain't Nothing But Bad Days Ahead''. The title is pretty clear about what she plans to do as a reality warping villain.
447* WickedWitch: Ugly, black robe, using magic; classic example.
448* WoundedGazelleGambit: In order to gain the heroes' trust she disguises Wizzer as a bat and has him "attack" her.

455The main antagonist of ''The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale'' and the overall main antagonist of the franchise is a living embodiment of the Forbidden Arts.
456----
457* AnthropomorphicPersonification: ''A Royal Family Tale'' reveals there to be a sentient, living embodiment of the BlackMagic used by previous villains.
458* BadBoss: Constantly threatening his minion, Mangler.
459* CrystalDragonJesus: In a lot of ways, he functions as a stand in for the devil, being an evil immortal from TheUnderworld who tempts people to TheDarkSide.
460* EldritchAbomination: A sentient, living smoke cloud from the Netherworld that is the physical embodiment of BlackMagic.
461* EvilSoundsDeep: He is a force of evil with a very deep voice.
462* GoodHurtsEvil: He can't get anywhere near Odette, due to her status as TheChosenOne without crying out in pain. Her birth alone was enough to make him retreat back to the cave he first emerged from.
463* GreaterScopeVillain: Was the supplier of Rothbart's powers, and those of Clavius and Zelda as well, all because he needs to kill Odette in order to exist. However, until the fifth movie "A Royal Family Tale" it was in the background influencing the main antagonist. Problem was, he could not kill Odette himself, so he needed others to do it for him.
464* MadeOfEvil: The living embodiment of BlackMagic.
465* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His basic color scheme is fitting considering that his MadeOfEvil.
466%%* TheSociopath
467* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While all the other bad guys have had their quirks, the Forbidden Arts does not, being completely serious and scary throughout the entire movie.

470[[folder:Count Antonio Zambrano]]
471->Voiced by: Creator/KirkThornton
472
473Appearing in ''The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover'', Count Antonio initially appears to be a generous nobleman, but it later becomes clear that he isn't what he seems.
474----
475* EvilAllAlong: He's eventually revealed to only be pretending to be affable, he caused the dam's destruction in the first place and that he intended to take all the money that was being raised to repair damages for himself.
476* RedHerring: Following Antonio's defeat and subsequent disappearance at the end of ''Royally Undercover'', ''A Royal [=MyZtery=]'' revolves around a mysterious masked figure marking '''Z''' shapes and targeting the heroes with various assassination attempts. Niccolo claims that Antonio has returned for revenge, which is seemingly supported further when Derek learns that Antonio's surname is '''Z'''ambrano, but this turns out to be a misdirection as the climax reveals Niccolo himself was the masked figure all along.
477* RomanticFalseLead: Uberta becomes utterly infatuated with Antonio when first meeting him, which strains her relationship with Rogers. Unbeknownst to Antonio, Rogers' jealousy prompts him to send Alise and Lucas on their spy mission, inadvertently allowing them to uncover Antonio's real plan.
478* UncertainDoom: He ends up stranded on the island of the Boggs, who clearly express interest in eating him, but the film ends before the outcome is shown, leaving it unclear whether he was eaten or not. Derek later expresses doubt that Antonio survived when talking to Niccolo in ''A Royal [=MyZtery=]'', but his death is still never explicitly confirmed.
479* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He is regarded by the public as a noble and honourable man, but is truthfully a greedy, murderous thief.
480* WouldHurtAChild: He breaks Lucas' leg during their struggle on the ship.
481[[/folder]]
482
483[[folder:Niccolo]]
484->Voiced by: David Lodge
485
486Appearing in ''The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover'' and ''The Swan Princess: A Royal [=MyZtery=]'', Niccolo was an aide of King Sebastian who turned out to be in cahoots with Count Antonio
487----
488* BaldOfEvil: He's a completely bald villain. Even after growing a long beard during his time in prison (which may be fake) Niccolo hasn't grown any hair on top of his head.
489* DragonAscendant: Niccolo is initially introduced in ''Royally Undercover'' as Antonio's right-hand man, only to be arrested and imprisoned in the climax. He then returns as the main villain of ''A Royal [=MyZtery=]'', seeking revenge against the heroes for ruining his life in the previous film.
490* ObfuscatingInsanity: In ''A Royal [=MyZtery=]'', he appears to have developed a split personality during his incarceration, but this is later revealed to be an act to throw off suspicions that he's behind the film's plot.
491* TimePassageBeard: While the time skip from ''Royally Undercover'' is not specified, in ''A Royal [=MyZtery=]'' Niccolo has grown a long, messy beard during his time in prison, suggesting that at least a few months or even a year or more has passed since the previous film. However, Niccolo later appears clean shaven when he reveals his plan to Derek in the climax, possibly implying that the beard was a fake that he was wearing [[ObfuscatingInsanity as part of his act]].
492* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Much like Antonio, Niccolo is also a highly respected figure in the government of Boromeo, but is in many ways even more greedy and murderous than his partner in crime. King Sebastian lampshades this when he and his men finally have Niccolo cornered.
493-->'''King Sebastian:''' Men as popular as yourself need to be caught red-handed.

496[[folder:Feng]]
497->Voiced by: Lynna Yee
498
499The antagonist of ''A Royal Wedding'', Feng is the scheming sorceress advisor to the Emperor of Cathay, who plots to split up Mei Li and Chen in order to have the latter for herself.
500----
501* EarlyBirdCameo: Feng first appears as a hooded figure in ''Kingdom Of Music'', during a brief scene where Scully visits her lair and tries to find the antidote to her spell on Chen.
502* EvilSorceror: Instead of using the Forbidden Arts like the other magical villains, Feng's source of power is an ancient Chinese magic bestowed by the Emperor.

504
505[[folder:King Ivan]]
506->Voiced by: Joe Ochman
507
508Appearing in ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' and ''Far Longer Than Forever'', King Ivan is a member of the Council Of Crowns, who secretly orchestrated the disappearance of Derek's father, Maximilian.
509----
510* AffablyEvil: During their time on the Council, Ivan was only ever cordial and friendly to King Max, even in spite of their disagreements, and in the present day reprimands those who speak ill of him. Their mutual respect did not stop Ivan from conspiring to have Max abducted in a bid to take over the Council.
511* EngineeredPublicConfession: With help from the animals, Derek and Odette break into Ivan's bedroom and [[ScoobyDooHoax pretend to be the ghost of his late mother]], forcing him to admit to his crimes while the rest of the Council are listening in.
512* EntitledBastard: Ivan's mother is said to have been the Head of the Council prior to King Sebastian, and Ivan expects to be handed the position when the latter steps down. To his surprise, Sebastian instead appoints the younger King Max to be his successor, due to his successful handling of the crime wave, which prompts Ivan to plot against him.
513* FalseFriend: He is very welcoming to Derek and Odette when they first join the Council, and speaks highly of Derek's father. When they start asking too many questions, he doesn't hesitate to sabotage their carriage in an attempt to silence them.
514* HiddenVillain: Unlike the other villains in the series, King Ivan is not immediately telegraphed as antagonistic, and his role as the man behind Max's disappearance serves as a major twist in the second half of ''Far Longer Than Forever''.
515* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While not as direct in his bigotry as [[RedHerring King Edgar]], Ivan also has a disdainful view of the poor thieves and bandits in the countryside, and disagrees with Maximilian's proposal to treat them with kindness. Though he's quick to praise him when this proposal turns out to be a success.

519
520[[folder:Jean-Bob]]
521[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean_bob.png]]
522->Voiced by: Creator/JohnCleese (first film), David Zippel (singing in first film), Donald Sage Mackay (second and third film), Clayton James (fourth film and onward)
523
524A French frog who claims to really be a prince. Sarcastic and a bit of a coward, Jean-Bob usually needs to be prodded into doing the right thing by his friends. Nevertheless, in the end he usually manages to be brave. Just don't expect it before the end.
525----
526* AllThereInTheManual: The DVD feature ''Odette’s Book of Wonderful Friends'' expands on Jean-Bob’s upbringing, confirming that he is indeed a prince, coming all the way from France.
527* BewitchedAmphibians: Invoked. He's a frog who is adamant that he was originally a human prince transformed into this amphibian form, and he searches desperately for a means to break his supposed curse.
528* CasanovaWannabe: Tries every trick in the book to get Odette to kiss him. None of them work.
529* CloudCuckoolander: He's absolutely convinced he's actually a handsome prince, and goes to great lengths to prove it. When the kiss he long sought from Odette doesn't change him, he remains in constant denial of the truth. That said, it's not unfair to assume he's simply deluded.
530* ContinuitySnarl: The movies ''never'' give any credence to Jean-Bob's claims of having been a human prince, instead blatantly implying that he's just crazy and in denial of reality. But 'Odette’s Book of Wonderful Friends'', a bonus feature on one of the DVD releases, asserts that he really is a transformed French prince, in complete contrast to the movies.
531* TheCynic: Jean-Bob is irritable and pessimistic at the best of times.
532* DeadpanSnarker: Jean-Bob is almost never without a witty remark or complaint.
533* TheDragAlong: He often has to be dragged kicking and screaming into assisting with the others' plans.
534* ForcedTransformation: Discussed, as he believes himself to be a prince transformed into a frog, and tries to get Odette to kiss him so he can be human. When she finally does, nothing happens. Even then, he remains convinced that he used to be a prince.
535* FrenchJerk: He speaks with a pronounced French accent, and is irritable, rude, and sarcastic.
536* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Invoked. The reason he's so bitter about his lot in life is because he's convinced he was once a handsome and beloved prince who lived a life of luxury. Now he's a frog who sits in a moat, eating flies and trying to avoid being eaten by much bigger birds.
537* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he grumps and complains a lot, and can also be a bit egotistical with his conviction of being a prince magically turned into a frog. Despite this, he proves to be a loyal friend.
538* TheLancer: Often accompanies Odette into danger, complaining the whole way.
539* LovableCoward: Tries to veto every plan the others come up with, but [[CowardlyLion when it comes down to it he does his part]].
540* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's understandably terrified of the alligators living in Rothbart's moat.
541* YankTheDogsChain: At least twice times in the films, Jean-Bob thinks he's gotten what he's always wanted, only for to be forcibly brought down to Earth. On one occasion, a newly restored Odette kisses him, but it has no effect -- worse, Jean-Bob initially thinks it ''has'' worked, because he looks into the nearby fountain and spots what he thinks is his now-human reflection... but it's actually the reflection of a human guest at the party. In another film, Jean-Bob is struck by a stray blast of magic in a fight against the villain and is transformed into a handsome human prince -- but just as he's shouting excitedly for his friends to look at him, a ''second'' stray blast of magic catches him and turns him back into a frog before anyone notices the change.

544[[folder:Lorenzo "Speed" Trudgealong]]
545[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/speed.jpg]]
546->Voiced by: Creator/StevenWright (first film), Creator/JonathanHadary (singing in first film), Doug Stone (second film and onward), Joel Bishop (singing voice in fifth film)
547
548A kind old tortoise who, along with Jean-Bob, became friends with Odette when she was first brought to Rothbart's castle. Calm and dependable, Speed may not be much use on land but put him in water and he can take on a pair of alligators without breaking a sweat.
549----
550
551* AllThereInTheManual: The DVD feature ''Odette’s Book of Wonderful Friends'' reveals his backstory and how he came to Swan Lake.
552* DeadpanSnarker: For instance, when Jean-Bob explained his plan to pole vault over Rothbart's moat to fetch flowers for Odette, he wryly asked Jean-Bob, who was seconds away from flinging himself, "how do you plan on getting back?" Being voiced by Creator/StevenWright definitely helps.
553* GracefulInTheirElement: Moves like a tortoise on land, in the water he lives up to his name.
554* IronicNickname: A slowly pondering turtle called "Speed". However…
555* MeaningfulName: He's a LightningBruiser in the water.
556* NiceGuy: Despite his dull monitone, Speed is almost always smiling and is always ready to help anyone in need.
557* SomewhereAHerpetologistIsCrying: Despite the comedic irony of him being slow on land but lighting-fast in the water, tortoises are very poor swimmers in real life. There ''are'' turtle species that are equally capable on land and in the water, but Speed is not one of them.
558* SpeedySnail: While slow on land, he is pretty fast in the water.
559* StraightMan: He usually plays this during his scenes with Jean-Bob, reacting to his delusions of grandeur for comedy.

564->Voiced by: Steve Vinovich (first three films), Gardner Jaas (fourth film and onward)
565
566An Irish puffin with an apparent military background, Lt. Puffin is the last animal to join the first film's male animal trio and aids them to repay a debt of honor after Odette saved him from an arrow embedded in his wing.
567----
568* AllThereInTheManual: The DVD feature ''Odette’s Book of Wonderful Friends'' reveals Puffin’s backstory, but not how he became a Lieutenant. Strangely enough, his story also reveals that Rothbart was the one who shot the arrow at him, while he was almost close to Ireland, his home country.
569* AnnoyingArrows: Shows up with an arrow through one wing, but when it's removed he instantly recovers.
570* CatchPhrase: "No fear!"
571* ADogNamedDog: A puffin name "Lt. Puffin".
572* FakeIrish: His voice actor, Steve Vinovich, is Serbian-American, while he is supposed to be Irish.
573* FeatherFingers: Pointing with them, putting on a hat etc. with his feathers.
574* IOweYouMyLife: Loyal to Odette after she removes an arrow from his wing.
575* LargeHam: Puffin has a knack of over-exagerating at times.
576* MisplacedWildlife: He lacks the blue bill markings seen in Atlantic puffins, the only puffin species native to Europe, and thus resembles a horned puffin, which are only found in the Pacific region.
577* PlayingPossum: "Play dead" is one of his plans; he does this to delay Derek and get Odette to the lake in time.
578* TheStrategist: Comes up with the plans.
579* ToothyBird: He's a bird with teeth.

582[[folder:Whizzer]]
583[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whizzer.png]]
584->Voiced by: Paul Masonson
585
586Appearing first in ''The Swan Princess III: The Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure'', Whizzer is Zelda's unwilling minion. As a yaki-bird, he can perfectly mimic any voice. Something Zelda uses to her advantage in her evil schemes.
587----
588* AntiVillain: Of the "Villain in Name Only" variant. Whizzer is only working for Zelda because she is coercing him into it and he ultimately turns on her with some encouragement from Puffin.
589* CartoonCreature: Bird equivalent. He belongs to a fictional yaki-bird species; both his name and appearance resemble that of whimbrels and other shorebirds (albeit blue rather than earthy colours) but he does voices like a parrot or a corvid.
590* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He's either this or the CGI sequels simply take the attitude that he doesn't exist and the 2nd and 3rd movies never happened. One could argue he simply went back to his home, which is what he wanted to do all along, and that's why he is absent.
591* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: Initially he bails on the final battle but then he turns up later to distract Zelda with Rothbart's voice.
592* DeadpanSnarker: Zelda frequently chastises him for his wit.
593* {{Expy}}: Of ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'s'' Iago. Both are birds who serve as minions to an evil sorcerer. Both can mimic voices and both later pull a HeelFaceTurn. Unlike Iago, however, Whizzer is only serving the villain out of fear rather than initial malice.
594* FeatheredFiend: Averted. Whizzer is only going along with Zelda's plans out of fear for her not any true malice.
595* FeatherFingers: Like Lt. Puffin his wings act like hands.
596* ForcedIntoEvil: On one hand, he doesn't want to work for Zelda but on the other hand she can force him to return to her with seekers.
597* HeelFaceTurn: He is firmly a good guy by the end of the third movie.
598* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He's a pitiful villain because he was forced into being Zelda's accomplice.
599* RememberedICouldFly: Spends most of his first scene running away from Zelda before coming to this realization. Hilariously enough, the moment he takes flight is when she finally catches him.
600* SixthRanger: A late addition to Odette's team of animal sidekicks.
601* ToothyBird: Is the one bird character with the most tooth grin shots.
602* VoiceChangeling: Can perfectly mimic any voice he's heard.

608
609Appearing the the 2012 ChristmasSpecial, Number Nine is a cat that works as Rothbart's minion in exchange for extra lives.
610----
611* TheBusCameBack: After the ChristmasSpecial, he is not seen again until ''Royally Undercover''. It turns out that he moved to another kingdom, which would explain his absence.
612* CatsHaveNineLives: He's on his last by the time the Christmas Special begins.
613* DeadpanSnarker: Spends the entire ChristmasSpecial snarking at ghost-Rothbart.
614* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's a black cat who lost some of his lives for crossing his own path.
615* RememberTheNewGuy: The Christmas movie seems to imply that he was one of Rothbart's minions from the first movie even though he'd never been seen before.
616* RightHandCat: He's Rothbart's reluctant minion in the Christmas Special, but comments seem to imply that he was once this to Rothbart before the events of the first movie.
617* YouAreNumber6: His name is literally "Number Nine".

627First appearing in ''A Royal Family Tale'', Scully is a scullion. At some point, he broke away from the rest and lived as a hermit.
628----
629* BackFromTheDead: He flies around talking to people in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' as a ghost. For all intents and purposes, he considers himself still alive.
630* DyingMomentOfAwesome: He makes a HeroicSacrifice to defeat the living embodiment of the Forbidden Arts ([[FightingAShadow or at least banish it from the living world]]) to save the reigning princess and her ward.
631* FamedInStory: Any visitors to the palace will see his statue.
632* TheHermit: He lives by himself in the wood, mixing up potions and studying a magical artifact.
633* MasterPoisoner: He has a full knownledge of poisons, both how to make them and cure them.
634* TheMedic: Healing potions and other curatives are among his knowledge.
635* SpiritAdvisor: He spends much of ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'' advising Alise even though he died in the previous movie.
636* StoutStrength: He's certainly pudgy but he also manhandled the scrawny Mangler.
637* UnexplainedRecovery: Alise is surprised to see him in ''Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today'', considering that he died some time ago. His response is "obviously not".
638* WalkingSpoiler: As the series moves on, it becomes hard to speak of him without mentioning that he died in ''A Royal Family Tale'' and hangs around as a ghost.

648* TheDragon: As leader of the Scullions, Mangler is relied upon by the Forbidden Arts when the situation demands it.
649* EvilOldFolks: Is the most elderly of the Scullions and his age makes him look scraggly.
650* EvilSoundsRaspy: Speaks in a low, hoarse voice.
651* MouthOfSauron: Addresses the Scullions on behalf of the Forbidden Arts.
652* TheQuisling: Mangler took this role in order to be spared by the Forbidden Arts and his EvilPlan. Just like all the other villains before him, the Forbidden Arts makes it clear he's another pawn in the scheme.

661----
662* GoodParents: Although we don't see much of them together, Alise is shown to be deeply traumatised by his death to the point where she doesn't even speak for several days afterwards. Even as a young adult, she still remembers and dearly loves her late father.
663* ForgottenFallenFriend: Downplayed and eventually subverted. ''A Royal Family Tale'' heavily revolves around Alise trying to come to terms with her father's sudden death, but she ultimately does so by the end of the film, and does not mention him at all for three entire movies after this point.
664* SacrificialLamb: He is crushed under falling rubble when the Forbidden Arts sets his cabin on fire - intending to kill Odette - and dies shortly afterwards.
665* SmallRoleBigImpact: While the Miller doesn't have much screentime, his untimely death leads to Odette and Derek adopting his daughter Alise, leading to the latter becoming a major character for the rest of the franchise.
666* [[StrugglingSingleMother Struggling Single Father]]: He mentions that his wife, Alise's mother, died shortly after their daughter was born, and their poor living conditions make it difficult to provide for his child alone.
667* TheDragon: As leader of the Scullions, Mangler is relied upon by the Forbidden Arts when the situation demands it.

675* CareerEndingInjury: Lucas' father appears to have a crippled hand and struggles to walk, clearly making him unable to work hard labour. Ultimately {{Subverted|Trope}} when he becomes a tulip farmer, allowing him to make viable income without overworking himself.
676* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After a brief cameo in the seventh film, Lucas' parents are not seen again for a few films after this. Even when the older Lucas is shown returning to his family's tulip farm in ''Kingdom Of Music'', his mother and father are not seen at all. [[TheBusCameBack They eventually return]] in ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' to cater for Derek and Odette's coronation.
677* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Lucas explains to Alise that he ran away from home because he overheard his parents discussing whether to give him up for adoption. As he later learns, they only thought to do so because they were incapable of taking care of him themselves.
678* GoodParents: In spite of their poverty, they truly love their son and did everything they could to provide for him, and were utterly devastated by the thought of having to give him up. Once their situation is resolved, they are shown to be a very loving and tightly knit family.
679* HappilyMarried: They are both very supportive and caring towards each other during their struggles, with Lucas' mother adamantly insisting that her husband not be ashamed of his disabilities making him unable to work.
680* ShipperOnDeck: Lucas' mother in particular is clearly supportive of her son wooing Alise, giving Lucas a set of specially picked flowers to give to the young princess when he goes to deliver some of their produce to the palace.

690* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He assures Lucas and Alise that Antonio and Niccolo are trustworthy and morally upstanding gentlemen, seemingly being oblivious to their scheme.

697----
698* BaitAndSwitch: During their investigation into Maximillian's disappearance, the heroes discover King Edgar writing what appears to be a secret message to the pirates arranging a raid, seemingly confirming him to be the traitor that framed Maximillian. When they confront him about this, Edgar reveals that this is actually an extract from his upcoming novel, and no such attack is going to happen.
699* EveryoneHasStandards: Although he clearly dislikes King Maximillian and angrily protests Derek's suggestion that the Council falsely accussed his father, King Edgar is just as shocked and horrified as the rest of the Council when they discover that King Ivan betrayed and framed Max and orchestrated his disappearance.
700* JerkassHasAPoint: While he has a harsh and unpleasant view of thieves and criminals, King Edgar is not entirely unjustified in his assertation that many of them cannot be reasoned with, and is seemingly proven right when Maximillian's attempt to make peace with the pirates seemingly results in his kidnapping.
701* MostWritersAreWriters: It's revealed in ''Far Longer Than Forever'' that Edgar writes and publishes mystery novels under a pen name.
702* RedHerring: Throughout both ''A Fairy Tale Is Born'' and ''Far Longer Than Forever'', King Edgar's abrasive attitude and his disdain for King Maximillian make him the top suspect in the latter's disappearance. He is eventually revealed to be completely innocent, while the more friendly and cordial King Ivan is the true traitor.
