Lumpy Space Princess

Appearance

She is ugly

Abilities

Like most Lumpy Space People, she has no legs or feet, but can float. Also, she can infect someone with The Lumps if she bites a person ("It's like, werewolf rules"). She can choose not to float if she wishes. This is shown in "Trouble in Lumpy Space," during the Mallow Tea Ceremony. As the yellow star on her head grew dim, she began to be influenced by gravity, fell and accidentally bit Jake.

Personality

Lumpy Space Princess Arguing

Lumpy Space Princess arguing

Lumpy Space Princess acts similar to a bratty, apathetic, attention-seeking and willfully ignorant teenager.

Lumpy Space Princess can be ostensibly unmoved and uncaring about what goes on around her, using such words as "sure," "whatever" and "fine" frequently. She can also be physically apathetic and unwilling to make an effort, as shown in "Gotcha" when she reluctantly helped Finn and Jake carry rocks, but complained the entire time.

She prefers to be the center of attention and when people ignore her she will yell things out to regain the spotlight, such as in "The Creeps" when she interrupted Finn by talking about her relationship with Brad. She also became upset (and violent) when another group performed the song she chose during the talent show in "Five Short Graybles," and again when Finn and Jake took the win out from under her.

She often misinterprets things and jumps to conclusions, as shown in "It Came from the Nightosphere" when she became upset with Hot Dog Princess for going to a "party" to which she wasn't invited. She will also create drama where none exists, such as in "The Monster" and "Gotcha" where she assigns names and personalities to animals and insects in order to act out romance-driven storylines.

She tends to lose her temper and make fun of people, but she can sometimes attempt to be nice towards others. For example, when Jake contracts The Lumps she agrees to help and takes Finn and Jake to Lumpy Space for the cure in "Trouble in Lumpy Space." She was also at the hospital, apparently concerned for Princess Bubblegum, in "Mortal Recoil."

There are a couple indications that Lumpy Space Princess is a teenager. In "Trouble in Lumpy Space" she goes to Promcoming Dance (a weekly event), suggesting that she attends an equivalent to high school. Further proof of this is given in "The Eyes" where Finn and Jake are seen dancing at her Quinceañera which is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday. Though, it is unclear if "Quinceañera" has the same meaning in Lumpy Space.

Relationships

Parents

LSP arguing with her parents

Her strained relationship with her parents is first shown in "Trouble in Lumpy Space" when she has an argument with her parents and they ban her from using the royal car. After the fight Lumpy Space Princess tells Finn that she "lumping hate[s] them," and that her "parents are horrible idiots." Lumpy Space Princess is shown to have run away from her parents and set up camp outside in the woods.

This is first shown in "Heat Signature" when she is cooking a can of beans in a makeshift camp. In "The Monster" she realizes her mistake and reconciles with her parents, but in "Princess Monster Wife" she is once again living at her hobo camp, suggesting that on occasion she leaves Lumpy Space.

Other Lumpy Space People

Her only known Lumpy Space Person friend is Melissa; However, their relationship is tenuous because Melissa is currently dating her ex-boyfriend, Brad. This is illustrated in "Trouble in Lumpy Space" when she tells Finn that there's going to be a lot of romantic tension on their ride because she used to eat chili-cheese fries with Brad. Lumpy Space Princess seems to be aware of how shallow her relationships with her Lumpy Space friends are. In "Trouble in Lumpy Space" she tells Finn that he is supposed to be her friend, unlike the "fake" ones she has there.

Finn

Lumpy Space Princess refers to Finn as a real friend, unlike other lumpy people. She is willing to help Finn, as seen in "Trouble in Lumpy Space" where she helps him get an antidote for Jake. She also shows her friendship in "Gotcha" by reluctantly helping him carry rocks, and complimenting him on being 'hot'.

Other princesses

She is friends with Princess Bubblegum, as shown in "Trouble in Lumpy Space" where she is one of the people attending the "Mallow Tea Ceremony." She was also at the hospital for her in "Mortal Recoil," seeming to be concerned. She was also seen to be friends with Hot Dog Princess ("It Came from the Nightosphere," "To Cut a Woman's Hair") and Turtle Princess ("Gotcha!"). She seems to have a good friendship with Turtle Princess, because they speak on the phone to each other a lot in "Gotcha" and Turtle Princess brings her food to her hobo camp. She also gave her the idea to write a book, (which Lumpy Space Princess did) and Turtle Princess told her she loved it, and published it.
