Editing Princess Fiona (section)

===''Shrek''===
Lord Farquaad is told by the Magic Mirror that in order to be king of Duloc, he must first marry a princess. He chooses Fiona, and holds a tournament in which the winner will have the "privilege" to rescue her from the Dragon's Keep for him. Shrek becomes the tournament's unexpected champion after besting all of Farquaad's knights, and agrees to rescue Fiona in exchange for the removal of the fairytale creatures from his swamp.

Fiona first meets Shrek when he crashes into the roof of her tower after being thrown by Dragon. Wearing pieces of armor taken from dead knights in the Dragon's Keep, Shrek is mistaken by Fiona to be her "Prince Charming". She pretends to sleep, but instead of getting her true love's kiss, Shrek shakes her awake and unceremoniously drags out of her tower. He is all but the knight-in-shining-armor that Fiona expected; he won't recite her poetry, she gives him her handkerchief as a token of her gratitude just for him to wipe his face with it, and he hasn't even slain the dragon. Shrek goes back to retrieve Donkey from Dragon, and in the ensuing chase the three of them narrowly escape from the castle. Fiona is grateful to her rescuer despite his un-knightly behavior. Wishing to see his face so she can kiss him, Fiona orders Shrek to remove his helmet.

Fiona is angered to learn that her rescuer is not a knight, but an ogre, and that the man who wants to marry her wouldn't come to rescue her himself. At first she refuses to go back to Farquaad, so Shrek grabs her and carries her over his shoulder. On their travel back, Fiona demands that they stop to make camp before nightfall and shelters herself away. She overhears Shrek confide in Donkey that he chooses to be alone because everyone judges him just for being an ogre. She wakes up early to head into the nearby forest and ends up singing with a blue bird until she accidentally causes it to explode after singing a very high note. Fiona is in a noticeably better mood today, and makes breakfast with the bird's eggs for Shrek and Donkey in order to makeup for their bad first impressions of each other. Shrek tells her that she wasn't what he expected from a princess, and Fiona tells he shouldn't judge people before getting to know him, referring to something he had said last night. The group runs into Monsieur Hood when he and his Merrymen kidnap Fiona, under the impression that they are rescuing the princess from a monster. After Hood threatens to kill Shrek, Fiona reveals her martial arts skills and single-handedly defeats the BBC Merrymen.

An amazed Shrek asks Fiona where she learned to fight, but before she can answer points to an arrow sticking in his butt. After much resistance on Shrek's part Fiona manages to remove the arrow, and the group continues on their journey. Having developed feelings for Shrek, Fiona is less eager to be returned to Farquaad. With Duloc in sight, the two convince Donkey that he looks sick as an excuse to spend more time together. They make camp nearby a windmill, and with the campfire set up they share weedrat kabab for dinner. Fiona laments that she is going to have to be dining in Duloc soon, and Shrek suggests that she visit him in his swamp sometime. They hold each other's hand and lean in to kiss each other but are interrupted by Donkey pointing out the sun is about to set. Fiona is visibly worried, saying that she's just afraid of the dark, and quickly slips away into the windmill for the night.

Later Donkey goes in to check on Fiona, and after failing to hide from him she reveals that at night she takes on the form of an ogre. She explains that when she was a child a witch cast a spell on her, causing her to transform into an ogre when the sun goes down, and that the curse can only be broken by true love's first kiss. Fiona is convinced that Farquaad is this true love, but Donkey suggests that maybe she should be with Shrek instead. Shrek goes up to the windmill so that he can talk to Fiona and give her a flower, but ends up hearing part of her conversation with Donkey. Shrek overhears Fiona asking, "who could ever love a beast so hideous and ugly?" (the beast being herself), but believes Fiona is referring to him. In the morning Fiona goes out to show Shrek her ogre form but transforms back as the sun rises. Shrek, hurt by what he thought he had heard Fiona say, repeats back what he had heard last night. Fiona is heartbroken as she thinks that Shrek won't be with her because of her ugliness. Farquaad and and an escort of his guards soon arrive, as Shrek had gone out in the night to summon them.

Angry and hurt, Shrek hands Fiona over to Farquaad in exchange for the deed to his swamp. Fiona accepts Farquaad's marriage proposal as she is upset by Shrek's cold behavior, although she doesn't seem to be all too thrilled by her groom. Hoping to lift her curse before sunset, she convinces Farquaad to hold the wedding that same day. As she prepares for the wedding, Fiona is hesitant about marrying Farquaad and devastated by how Shrek treated her. Just as she and Farquaad are about to kiss at the wedding, Shrek interrupts the ceremony. He tells Fiona that Farquaad is just marrying her so that he can be king of Duloc and that the one that really loves her is himself. Sunset comes and Fiona reveals her ogre form, setting Farquaad into a fit of rage. He orders his guards to seize them both, and threatens to lock Fiona back in her tower for the rest of her days. However at Shrek's command, Fiona's dragon guardian bursts through the windows and eats Farquaad. After this, Shrek professes his love to Fiona, and she professes her love to him, and they share a kiss. The curse is lifted when Fiona is kissed by Shrek, but she is shocked that "true love's form" has still left her as an ogre. While she had expected to become her human self, Shrek assures her that she is still beautiful and the two get married in Shrek's swamp.
