* NotSoDifferent: Eugene’s group eventually realizes this about Princess and this is what causes them to accept her into their ranks.
** Like Eugene, Princess went as far as deceiving people just so she could have companionship. Princess also suffers from self-loathing especially when it comes to how she connects with other people, which Eugene all but said when he was venting to Rosita about his apparently failed romantic prospects with Stephanie in “Morning Star”.
** Like Ezekiel, Princess puts on an eccentric, overly positive front when really she’s just trying to hide how broken she is by all the traumas in her life. She also has a flair for being almost theatrical as evidenced by her walker decorations around the city.
** Like Yumiko, she also wants some sort of connection with new people. For Princess, it’s because she’s been alone for over a year in the city. For Yumiko, it’s because she just broke up with Magna.
