PEACE princess monster

As I was writing before about the princess bride-monster, there was a name on the tip of my tongue, and I couldn't remember what it was until I found my copy of A.S. Byatt's POSSESSION. "Melusina" is her name. Daughter of the king of Ys. I'm not saying that "The Princess and Her Four Suitors" is based upon Melusina; I'm just saying that in my view of the Princess as monster, she is something like Melusina. =mantis=
