Planetty, Princess of Anuther Planet, is a character who appears in The Silver Princess in Oz, created by Ruth Plumly Thompson .
History[]
Planetty descended into the Kingdom of Ix from Anuther Planet upon her fire-breathing steed Thun the Thunder-Colt, meeting Kabumpo and King Randy of Regalia while they were en route to visit the Red Jinn. Randy quickly befriends the princess, who is in awe of her colorful surroundings because Anuther Planet is a very gray, bleak and desolate place. However, her species requires bathing in molten vanadium at least once a week in order to function, or else they become statues. Thus Kabumpo and Randy decide to take her to the Red Jinn to send her back home; until Randy begins to fall in love with the princess, and instead wishes to have Red Jinn cure her need for vanadium.
They find that the Red Jinn's castle has been taken over by a rebellious servant, and Planetty proves invaluable in the resulting battle as her staff is able to turn others into statues. However the party eventually falls through a trap door in the castle and Planetty looses her staff, and becomes a statue due to a lack of vanadium. After he is rescued the Red Jinn is only able to cure her by turning her human, which pleases both her and Randy as she could then return to Regalia with Randy and marry him.
Personality[]
Planetty has a very innocent personality, and although she seems to speak the same language as that which is spoken in Oz she has a few words unique to the vocabulary on Anuther Planet, such as ret for rest, and netiful for beautiful.
Modern Oz Books[]
Planetty's book passed into the public domain in 1967, allowing modern Oz authors to use her freely.
She appears in Jeff Freedman's The Magic Dishpan of Oz riding on Thun, during which she helps two children from America save Oz from the Magicians of Mischief. She also features in Marcus Mebes' Lurline and the White Ravens of Oz, where she reveals that she wasn't exactly a princess, and was instead a security officer who escaped a spaceship to try to reach Oz.
