Princess Snake (蛇へび姫ひめ, Hebi hime, lit. "Snake Princess") is the princess of a castle on Snake Way. In her true form, she is known as the Goddess of Snake Way[2] (蛇道神しん, Jadou-shin).[1]

She is interested in manly men such as King Yemma, Goku,[1] and Raditz. However, she is quick to anger upon rejection, eating Goku when he indicates that he is going to leave,[1] and trapping him in an illusion so he would not be aware of this.

She became the Snake Princess in 739 Before Age, and the only person who ever tried to capture her was King Yemma, about 500 years prior to the events of Dragon Ball Z. She has also implied that she and Yemma have since been wed. She won the laurels at the Afterlife Beauty Pageant.[1]

King Yemma is her husband,[1] however her relationship with Raditz[3] and attempt to seduce Goku implies she is either divorced from King Yemma, is unfaithful, or they have an open marriage.

When Goku traverses Snake Way to reach and train under King Kai, Princess Snake tries to steal his heart in her disguised form, but his sense of loyalty to his family and friends is, of course, far too strong, so she transforms into her true form and tries to eat him. While escaping, Goku attempted to reason with her, but she refused to compromise and continued chasing him.

Goku, however, tricks her into tying herself into a knot while evading her in serpent form. With her detained, Goku continued his journey, despite her protests.[4]
