Synopsis
In a futuristic kingdom, there's a princess named Mary who was born with a very unique personality: Overly expressive, super-intelligent, wondering, thrill-seeking, prank-loving, and artistic. However, her mother has taught her that non of those are the qualities of a princess, so she has repressed all of those qualities since childhood, and none of those has ever reutrned... until her teenage years, where she suddenly wakes up in strange places, like the museum, or having done things she dosen't recall, such as throwing a pie at her mother. One day, when Mary was knocked unconscious, she discovered the truth: The long supressing of her qualities has caused Mary to develop seven separate personalities: Angry, Prankster, Genius, Extreme, Emo, Wonder, and Artist. While each personality cares for the other, they just can't work together due to their disitinct actitudes and/or actions. However, Mary must make her alternative selves work together when a threat comes to their kingdom.

Music

And with little psychological stuff because it still plays a role in the movie". Bowers would describe Mary and her alters' theme as "super dynamic", as he has to change it in order to represent each personality "yet still keeping a same vibe in order to make clear that they are part of the same being".
