Would Shrek and Fiona still work as a couple if Fiona wasn't an ogre?

Well the whole character of Fiona is based on her being an ogre to my understanding. If you take that away then it'd be a whole another character.

So if you're asking if Shrek and some random pretty princess would work as a couple I'd have to say no. Of course it'd work if the girl was into Shrek for whatever reason but that's not realistic.

If she was still just as nasty as Shrek (like Donkey said) but just a human.

[jeemm]

I'm not too sure about what you're referring to.

[Asker]

Like if she had still had the same personality and bond with Shrek but she was human.

[jeemm]

I don't remember her personality aside from her being drawn to Shrek due to her being an ogre just like him. So like I said, if you take that away you take away her interest in him.

[Asker]

She liked loud burping and eating weird animals like Shrek did and kicked butt.

[jeemm]

Both of those are actions that are perceived to be normal for an ogre compared to royalty. In other words, ogre-like behavior. If she was a normal princess would that be something she'd do? I doubt it.

[Asker]

Hmm, good point. What if she just stayed human after the spell was broken? Would that affect their relationship?

[jeemm]

It's a written character so anything is possible.

I think they would, he already liked her when she was human.

[Asker]

If a donkey and dragon can get together, a ogre and human isn't far fetched, haha.

[menina]

Hahaha exactly.
