Dame Devin is the main antagonist in Barbie: Princess Charm School. She is voiced by Nicole Oliver. Dame Devin is a teacher at Princess Charm School who tries to live out her royal dreams to rule Gardania through her daughter, Delancy.
Story
Dame Devin was a commoner who went to Princess Charm School to be a lady royal after winning a lottery raffle. However, she held a grudge against Isabella for not picking her as a lady royal in her final year at the school. After the family was killed by her, Dame Devin lived in the palace with Delancy.
Dame Devin was cruel to Blair when she first arrived due to her commoner status since she was once a commoner herself. Later on, when she learned that Blair was the lost princess who survived the car crash, she intentionally trapped her, Hadley, and Isla in the palace basement to prevent them from interfering with her daughter's coronation by challenging the claims, but they escaped.
However, Delancy put the crown on Blair's head, and it revealed her as Princess Sophia. Dame Devin was enraged and yelled at her for ruining their future. She unknowingly and publicly revealed that she deliberately killed Queen Isabella and King Reginald in a car crash so Delancy could rule one day.
Everyone was shocked, even Delancy and Blair, and Dame Devin tried to say otherwise. However, the royal judge was enraged by her actions against Isabella and her family. He ordered the guards to arrest her, much to the shock of Delancy. Outraged, Dame Devin was removed, but she continued to demand they crown her daughter before vowing revenge against everyone.
Physical Appearance
Dame Devin has strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair is always in a high bun. She wears a tight yellow dress with pointy-toed yellow heels and yellow gloves when she teaches. Dame Devin wore a forest green frilly gown, forest green earrings, a forest green necklace, her yellow gloves, and forest green pumps at the coronation.
Personality
Dame Devin is prejudiced towards commoners because she once was one being spiteful and a bit corrupt. When she was not picked to be a lady royal at the end of her semester at school, she held a grudge against Queen Isabella, her sister-in-law. Dame Devin made it so the royal family would be killed in a car crash so her daughter Delancy could rule.
Because of her attitude towards commoners, she is not professional towards Blair and tells her she shouldn't be at the school because of where she comes from. She is strict with her students, especially Blair, who she dislikes from the beginning since she was a lottery winner too, and because she reminded her of Princess Sophia. She knew that Blair was Princess Sophia, and she knew that she had to get rid of her.
Quotes
- "My daughter will soon be ruler of Gardania."
- "This is my last semester of teaching before I... before my daughter takes over Gardania. No, no. Hold back your tears. Miss Privet will take over my classes next year. In her own little way. Of course no one knows the royal life as I do. I've lived at the palace ever since my dear sister-in-law Queen Isabella and her family died."
- "Meet my eyes girl! A true Lady Royal never hangs her head."
- "No daughter of mine sits on the sidelines at a dance!"
