Princess Janice

Princess Janice is a minor character in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

History
Janice was the daughter of King Boreas and sister to Prince Esker. When the people of Morainia created energy crystals, her father contacted Eternia wishing to give them to King Randor, unaware that he was drawing the attention of Skeletor. Randor sent Adam, Cringer and Orko to Morainia where they met Janice and her family while Skeletor and his force arrived to get the crystals. They were able to capture Janice's father and told them they will only get the king back as soon as Skeletor gets the energy crystals.

Janice tried to talk to her brother but he rebuffed her as he spoke to the council on what should be done. Janice then decided to save her father herself, almost getting caught by Clawful before He-man saved her. She came up with a strategy to save her father, even revealing that she had previously discovered King Boreas was being held in an abandoned mine with three entrances (with her deducing that her father was held in 'The Cave of Mirrors').

He-man, Orko and Cringer followed Janice's plan and saved King Boreas. They then rushed back to the council and, realizing his plan was foiled, Skeletor and his forces fled. Both King Boreas and Prince Esker realized that Princess Janice's opinions were just as important as theirs.
