Third Person
"Kings Quest VII takes place after the events in Kings Quest VI (doi!). Alexander has settled down as king of the Green Islands, and now it's time for King Graham and Queen Valanice to find a nice husband for their daughter Rosella (who, being an unmarried princess, is currently "princeless"). Anyhoo, the game opens with a song from Rosella about how much she wants to explore the world, see new places, and join the navy (it also is sung in an animation sequence that finally lets you know what Disney movies would look like if their animators took hallucinogens). Then Rosella and Valanice go for a little stroll in the woods. Rosella sees a castle in a tiny pond, and she jumps right in. A worried Valanice follows her. Rosella ends up being turned into a troll in the troll kingdom, where she learns about an evil sorceress lady. Valanice ends up as her human self in a desert. And so their paths are set. Throughout various chapters that alternate main characters, Rosella goes about stopping the sorceress lady (whose name is Malicia; it's really sad how parents doom their children to evil futures by giving them names that sound like synonyms of evil words), and Valanice goes about finding Rosella. ..." -
