Prince Derek

Derek, later Prince Derek, is the secondary deuteragonist in Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses. He is, at first, the royal shoe cobbler, who harbors romantic feelings for Princess Genevieve.

Appearance and Personality
Derek has brown hair and blue eyes. He is a pleasant, nice man with a sense of humor, but he is awkward and shy around Genevieve, due to his crush on her. He is brave and goes to rescue Genevieve and her sisters, and marries her at the end of the film.

Story
When Derek arrives at the castle, the princesses rush to meet him and receive their new ballet shoes. When Derek, awkwardly, gives new shoes to Genevieve and she starts to dance, it becomes clear that Derek is in love with her, but he can't say it to Genevieve. By Genevieve's request, Derek finds the apothecary and asks him about Rowena. He gives the apothecary his horse, instead of his bird for Queen Isabella's silver goblet. After, he sneaks into princesses' bedroom and discovers magical stones. He finds princesses in pavillion and tells to them Rowena's plan.

When Desmond breaks magical stones, golden pollen tells to them about escape from pavillion. Fallon, the most romantical princess, says, that Genevieve and Derek should dance together. It helps, and princesses return into their castle. In King's apartament, Derek helps to Genevieve to win knights, ressurected by Rowena's wish. Genevieve and her sisters appears in castle's garden at the end of the film, and King Randolph leads Genevieve to the altar; Derek and Genevieve are getting married. Derek takes her hand, and the family all dance in the garden.
