Princess Daisy is a major character in the Super Mario Bros. film, as the daughter of the King, a parallel dimension to Earth. She is named after the Super Mario character Princess Daisy, and serves as Luigi's romantic interest; however, her chief inspiration appears to be Princess Peach instead. She is not initially aware she is a descendant of royalty, being referred to as simply Daisy for a majority of the movie. She was taken from Dinohattan to Brooklyn by her mother, escaping President Koopa's tyrannous rule over Dinohattan, where she grew up at St. Theresa's Cathedral never knowing the identity of her mother. She serves as the damsel in distress character in the film, being kidnapped by Spike and Iggy and taken to Koopa's Tower so that Koopa can carry out his plans of conquering both dimensions.
Daisy is an intelligent and analytical young woman, who has a passion and attraction to dinosaurs and paleontology. Even before discovering herself to be a descendant of dinosaurs, she felt a strong connection to them and related to the idea of "trying to be human". This passion later manifests itself as the growing desires of a "reptile brain" inspired by exposure to the parallel world. It is only her relationship with Luigi that grounds her humanity and prevents her from completely losing herself to those urges.
