Alianora

Alianora is Woraug's princess. She first visited Cimorene, who she is a good friend to, with Keredwell and Hallanna. Alianora enjoys Cimorene's company as she doesn't have to pretend. Her story is that the evil fairy godmother that came to her christening didn't curse her, but had a good time, which was the start of all the "problems". Her Aunt Ermintrude tried many things because she thought Alianora wasn't a very satisfactory princess, though she tried really hard. Alianora's aunt gave her a gold spinning wheel for her sixteenth birthday, but nothing happened. Then, she had Alianora put in a tower of straw, but the poor princess only spun linen thread. Then, Aunt Ermintrude sent her to the woods with a loaf of bread and to give it whomever asked for it, and a disguised fairy asked for it, but said Alianora would have good teeth for the rest of her life instead of saying that she would have diamonds and roses drop from her mouth every time she spoke. After that, Alianora's aunt gave her a gown and some glass slippers to wear to a ball, but Alianora broke one of the shoes before she even left the castle. Alianora thinks that Aunt Ermintrude was the one that set her up to be kidnapped by Woraug without telling her, fearing she would even mess that up. But, despite all of this, Alianora is a wonderful princess, and helps Cimorene and the Stone Prince stop some wizards from succeeding in their plans to make Woraug the new King of the Dragons. She even told Kazul, the true king, that she had seen Woraug with what looked like a teabag that could have been full of dragonsbane, the plant that had killed the old king. She was freed because Woraug was transformed into a frog, and she left with the Stone Prince, who was to become her future husband after he was turned back into a human.
