Joey King ("Oz the Great and Powerful") plays the Prince, the daughter of Michael Shannon's White Death. Feeling spurned by him for ignoring her talents due to her gender, she sets out to enact a complex, Machiavellian plan to kill her father and take his place at the head of his crime syndicate.
Her plan is also pretty interesting, and has many fun steps, since — like any good villain worth their salt — she has contingencies on top of contingencies in case something goes wrong. She's a regular Lex Luthor in that way. For instance, she has the previously-mentioned Kimura's young son watched by one of her goons, so he doesn't try anything funny, and she has the gun she gives Kimura rigged to only be able to shoot backwards so she is never in any danger at all during their interactions in the first place. She also wisely uses her status as a young-looking school girl to get the drop on everyone, including Lemon, then later Ladybug (causing him to shoot and kill Tangerine to protect her –- not knowing her full true nature).
She's even the last surviving member of White Death's entire family (since her mother was killed before the start of the story by an American assassin named Carver, played in a cameo by "Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds). That's because, at the end of the day, she is really the main antagonist the whole time. Her death is also pretty cathartic, considering it is Lemon who committed it, as revenge for the death of his brother. In the role, King is stylish, smart, and sadistic -– the whole package, really.
