Princess Fiona (Fiona Duloc) is the Princess in the films Shrek, Shrek 4-D, Shrek 2, and Shrek 3. Actress Cameron Diaz provided her voice.

In the first one, Lord Farquaad sends the ogre, Shrek to retrieve her to be his bride. Through the course of the film, we discover that she is cursed, human by day and ogress by night until the end where she is kissed by Shrek and becomes permanently an ogress. It is revealed in a deleted scene that she was born with this condition, but drank a beauty potion to make her human self more beautiful. This was ultimately cut from the movie because it ruined the end.

In Shrek 4-D, she is kidnapped by the ghost of Lord Farquaad, who intends to kill her, marry her, and become king of the Underworld.

Shrek 2 features her trying to convince Shrek to meet her parents. They go, and her Fairy godmother, who had her locked away in the tower to begin with, plots to kill her husband so her son, Prince Charming can marry her.

Princess Fiona is initially portrayed as the archetypal princess from fairy tales, speaking formally in matters of courtship and presenting high expectations of how she is to be rescued, who is to rescue her, and so forth. Later, Princess Fiona's true self emerges, as she's really a very down-to-earth woman who burps, belches, is a loyal friend, and unlike princesses of fairy tales, expertly fights in hand-to-hand combat with martial arts skills.
