All other town NPCs (not including Santa Claus or town pets) are present, meaning that she can only spawn after defeating Plantera which is when the Cyborg NPC can move in.
The Princess will attack nearby enemies with the Resonance Scepter to defend herself (although the animation of the Scepter is not shown).
What conditions must be met for the Princess NPC to spawn in Terraria?
In Terraria, the Princess NPC will spawn once two conditions are met. Firstly, there must be an empty house available for her. Secondly, all other town NPCs (excluding Santa Claus or town pets) must be present. This means that she can only spawn after defeating Plantera, which is when the Cyborg NPC can move in. So, if you're wondering how to get the Princess in Terraria, make sure you've got an empty house and all other town NPCs!

What makes the Princess NPC unique in Terraria?
The Princess NPC in Terraria is unique for several reasons. She only spawns under specific conditions, namely when there is an empty house and all other town NPCs are present. This means she can only appear after defeating Plantera, which allows the Cyborg NPC to move in. The Princess is also an NPC vendor and will attack nearby enemies with the Resonance Scepter. Interestingly, she shares a name with the Dryad, Faye, and one of her possible names is Yorai, named after one of Terraria's lead developers. She is also implied to be underage, similar to the Angler NPC. All NPCs in the game like the Princess, making her a popular character. She even has a Happiness quote for herself, which is quite cute!

What is the role of the Resonance Scepter in Terraria?
In Terraria, the Resonance Scepter plays the role of a powerful weapon. It's a Hardmode, post-Plantera staff that has a 12.5% chance of dropping from the Princess NPC. When used, it creates glowing pink circles at the cursor's location, which expand and then collapse into sparkles over the course of about 1 second. It can be considered an indirect upgrade to the Inferno Fork as it has higher stats and instantaneously reaches the location the player aims at. It can also create its projectile midair, a feature the Inferno Fork lacks unless it makes contact with a target.

What is the connection between the Princess NPC and Plantera in Terraria?
In Terraria, the Princess NPC and Plantera are connected through the game's progression system. The Princess NPC will only spawn once all other town NPCs are present, which can only happen after defeating Plantera. Plantera is a Hardmode boss that players must defeat in the Underground Jungle. Once Plantera is defeated, the Cyborg NPC can move in, and when all other NPCs are present, the Princess NPC will spawn. So, in essence, defeating Plantera is a key step in getting the Princess NPC to appear in your game.
The Princess is unique in that she does not have any biome or neighbor preferences. She loves up to three NPCs that live nearby and is liked by all NPCs around her.
She also hates being lonely and her unhappiness is maxed to 150% if she is not surrounded by at least 2 other NPCs within 25 tiles, or 2 other NPCs that are between 25 and 120 tiles away.[2]

Quotes[]
Interaction quotes[]
"I really appreciate all the good you've done for this land! Thank you!"
"Goblins are so cute! They are short, and have those little pointy ears, and they come in different colors!"
"Like my dress? Gee, thanks! Just sewed it."
"I am so fabulously grateful for my subjects!"
"Pink is the best color anyone could ask for! "
"Um... being a princess can be so uneventful sometimes, so I took up many hobbies! "
"I'm so happy to finally travel the world, and meet new people!"
"As much as I love people, I am rather shy. It takes me awhile to break the ice..."
One of the Princess' possible names is Yorai, named for Yoraiz0r, one of the lead developers of Terraria.
The Princess is implied to be underage. Similar to the Angler, her sprite is shorter than most other NPCs, and they share the same death message: "<name of Angler/Princess> has left".
The Princess has a Happiness quote for herself: "<name of Princess> is a little unsettling to be around, but terribly cute!". This quote cannot be legitimately seen in-game, since it requires two copies of the same NPCs to be alive at once.
Along with the Traveling Merchant, Zoologist, and Cyborg, she is among a small group of NPCs who sell a new item post-Moon Lord. The Princess's item is a Music Box (which requires the player to defeat the Moon Lord after Hardmode has been activated).
The Princess's shimmered form could perhaps be a reference to her night-time quote.
The Bestiary entry for the Princess: "Shy and innocent, this happy young lady sees the positive in everything, and everybody. She appreciates all of her subjects, from all walks of life."
