History

When Princess Caramella was born, her mother gathered seven of the most powerful ocean spirits, and each one of them laid a curse on the Princess, which anyone seeking to wed her would have to break.

This seems to have set the tone for their relationship, and by 2013, the Princess had overthrown her mother and assumed the throne (though she still styled herself as Princess). Around this time, she and the Abyssal Court came to the LNH's attention over the problem of ocean acidification due to mankind's increasing carbon emissions.

Later that year, Explain-the-Joke Lass went on a quest to invoke and break the curses. At first, Princess Caramella was angry due to the chaos this caused; however, she found EtJ Lass's reasons compelling. They entered into a relationship, and were eventually married.
