Princess is initially depicted as a hardworking and ambitious doctor who is keen to learn medicine and progress her career, but over her tenure, she was developed into an antagonist on the soap.

Her scheming included flirting with various staff members to further her career, manipulating Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) and Sid Vere (Ashley Rice) into completing work for her, covering up mistakes with patients and blackmailing Scarlett Kiernan (Kia Pegg), all of which contribute towards a suspension.

From her introduction, it was hinted that Princess was involved with the disappearance of fellow Sutton Vale employee Dr. Ashdown, who went missing prior to the beginning of the takeover storyline.

Another aspect of Princess' backstory that has been touched upon is her strained relationship with her unaffectionate mother, Constance Buchanan (Linda Hargreaves).

Metro's Chris Hallam felt that the addition of Princess to the cast had "generated fireworks" for Doctors and despite her "extremely manipulative personality", he was interested in learning more about the character.

[3] It was confirmed that she would be introduced as part of the Mill Health Centre's plan to take over Sutton Vale Surgery, where she works as a training general practitioner (GP).

[1] Princess is "not too impressed by the newcomers" coming into her surgery and Simon Timblick of What to Watch hinted that she would have a feud with Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) when she learns that he is the new lead GP at Sutton Vale.

[4] Receptionist Rosie Colton (Janice Connolly) warns Al that Princess is trouble and that there is something about her that he should watch out for, specifically when talking about the case of missing person Dr.

"[1] When business manager Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) gives Princess a tour of the Mill, she likes what she sees but does not notice the frosty reception she gets from Emma Reid (Dido Miles) and Luca McIntyre (Ross McLaren).

[9] She manipulates Valerie Pitman (Sarah Moyle) into getting her lunch, collecting her suit from the launderette and completing work for her after hours, as well as getting Sid to help her finish her presentation.

[9] Timblick wrote that her "lazy attitude" could have had fatal consequences after she accidentally prescribes George Grant (Paul Moriarty) antibiotics that he is allergic to.

Princess then meets consultant Max Bailey (Nicholas Prasad) and decides to "schmooze the medic" to further her own career, which is successful when he gets her involved with his Mind Hope project, which will help towards her training to become a doctor.

Despite Bear and Sid reacting badly, Princess "can't see what the big deal is" and attempts to talk herself out of the situation.

Timblick hinted that Scarlett would regret taking Princess' advice due to her "lazy track record on the job".

[20] Nathan Jones (Geoffrey Maccarthy) and Gavin Thomas (Matt Sutton) visit Princess for a consultation after a "shock late-night attack" and are in need of emotional support.

[21] Emma sits in for the consultation and is shocked and unimpressed by Princess' "unsympathetic treatment" of the patients, as well as her having a stack of paperwork to catch up on.

[22] In order for her to go out for drinks with friends in the evening, she asks Scarlett to help with her paperwork, who refuses, having realised that Princess has manipulated her.

Princess tells Mick and Rob Hollins (Chris Walker) that they argued prior to his death, but that she is not responsible for his murder.

[26] Over the duration of numerous months, Timblick noted that the character had made a conscious effort to "turn over a new leaf" and get on with her colleagues at the Mill.

[1] Hallam could not feel much sympathy for Princess, but was interested in her backstory due to the scenes with her "powerful but unaffectionate" mother, Constance.
