Princess Romelle is a member of the Polluxian royal family.
Voltron: Defender of the Universe cartoon continuity
Princess Romelle is Allura's distant cousin from the Planet Pollux, where she co-rules with her younger brother, Prince Bandor. Unlike her royal family and most of the people of Pollux, she's not a warmonger and hopes her home world and Arus can live together in peace.
Romelle is introduced in episode 17 where her older brother, Avok, is turned into a robeast after her father, King Coba, makes an agreement with King Zarkon. The agreement is that they will work together to conquer Arus and the split the planet 50/50. Lotor notices her striking resemblance to Princess Allura and is instantly set on having her for his own, later in the episode kidnapping her. Very few specifics are known about what exactly happened to her during her enslavement, but there is a scene where Lotor carries Romelle, unconscious, off screen and we hear her scream. Immediately after, she is thrown back in her cell with three other young women and they devise a plan of escape together. They manage to escape planet Doom, but are shot down on a snow-covered planet where she is recaptured.
Romelle is later thrown into the Pit of Skulls after continually rejecting Lotor and helping the Voltron Force. It is there that she meets Sven, who she escapes planet Doom with. [1] Soon after she returns home she runs off with Sven back to planet Doom to fight against the Drule Empire, forming a rebel group. She and Sven eventually fell in love and lived together on Pollux.[2]
