Princess Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeau Grunkwitz, also known as Princess Bean (voiced by fellow bi, Abbi Jacobson), is the main character of Matt Groening’s animated fantasy series, Disenchantment (2018-2023).

Bean quickly drinks her way into our hearts as the relatable, sometimes irresponsible daughter of King Zog and Queen Dagmar of Dreamland who yearns to be a normal person and avoid her father’s high expectations. Through a series of arranged marriages and complicated, spoiler-filled events, Bean eventually teams up with the aptly-named Elfo the elf, and her personal demon companion, Luci. Elfo and Luci act as Bean’s good and bad influences throughout the show.

At one point, Bean rescues a mermaid named Mora from PT’s Freak Show in Steamland, and while Elfo drives the boat to take them all to safety, Bean and Mora find time to simply sit and talk about past relationships, science, history, daily life, and other topics. We see a connection develop in real-time.

The way Mora and Bean gravitate toward each other feels natural, and later on in the episode, we see the two of them share a tender kiss when Mora gives Bean a starfish necklace. Unfortunately, Bean wakes up back on the beach without her beloved necklace, and struggles to believe that her time with Mora was anything more than a dream, though we soon know better as that same necklace washes up on the beach as she turns to leave.

After returning to Dreamland, Bean is heartbroken. She often recalls her time with Mora, saying that it was “the greatest thing that ever maybe didn’t happen to me”, and that she is “stuck with this sad, empty feeling of heartbreak without ever getting to the fun relationship part.”
