The group of friends later travels to the realm of the Fair Folk (thanks to Gurgi, who didn't lie to Taran and the gang) and reunites with the pig Hen Wen. There, the two come across the mystic sword, Dyrnwyn (and Eilonwy expresses vague disgust at Taran merely taking a sword from a dead body) and free Fflewddur Fflam from his imprisonment. Instead of leaving, Eilonwy allows Taran to come with her and escape from the Castle.

She and the handsome farm boy Taran first meet in the lower ruins under the Horned King's castle (once the home of King Rhitta) when the addled princess is searching around and attempting to find a route to escape. In the film, Princess Eilonwy is taken hostage by a wicked emperor known as the Horned King, who hopes that her magic bauble could find the legendary Black Cauldron. She wears a dark violet band on the back of her hair, a pink skirt with a light pink underskirt, a white petticoat, a dark violet bodice, long off-white pink puffy sleeves, and black flats.Įilonwy appears to have magical capabilities, which save her, Taran, and Fflewddur from the Horned King's prison. Princess Eilonwy is a 12-year-old girl with a delicate figure, fair skin, pink lips, blue eyes, and long, flowing blonde hair that goes past her hips.

Eilonwy is portrayed as brave, cynical, and talkative, as shown by her tendency to go off into rants at Taran for seemingly trivial reasons (though he can be snippy back in their mutual antagonism).ĭespite her naturally strong-willed personality, she can be affectionate (for she tries to get Taran's spirits up in one scene and seems fond of Gurgi) and emotional, as shown by her anxiety after escaping from the Horned King's castle and her genuine sadness at Taran's near-sacrifice during the film's climax by the end of the movie, Eilonwy has dropped her defenses significantly and she and Taran begin to be romantically involved.Įilonwy appears to be addled once she first appears, confused and thinking her reasons for being imprisoned in the Horned King's castle vague.
