- "We fell in love, and you know what that's like. You think you can overcome anything."
- —Corinne about her relationship with Colin[src]
Corinne Van Den Pelt is a character of the non-canonical novel, The Queen's Curse. She was a resident of the enchanted kingdom Tarsina. She was forced to work in the royal castle as a maid by the Loyalists to seduce the crown prince, Colin, but subsequently fell in love with him herself.
History[]
Despite being the granddaughter of a witch, Corinne and her father never inherited any powers and lived in Tarsina as mortal citizens.
Falling in Love[]
The Loyalists threatened Corinne's entire family to force her to seduce the throne prince to prevent him from marrying a magical being, which would enact the curse to kill all non-magical civilians in the kingdom. She started working as a servant inside the castle, and Colin fell for her overtime. She subsequently fell in love with the prince for real.
When he put duty before love and proposed to Paige Matthews, Corinne is ordered to kill her. However, she and Paige bonded over the upcoming days for the wedding, and Corinne finds herself disheartened to carry out this task.
Becoming a Princess[]
Her treachery is later discovered and she is taken to the dungeon until Prince Colin's birthday, which is the day the curse would enact. Paige sets out to question Corinne, and finds out her reason. Phoebe and Colin later help her escape. After Corinne's magical grandmother transferred her powers to Corinne, she married Colin, but it didn't stop the curse due to her not being an official magical being.
The Charmed Ones and the Tarsinians then pull their strengths together in one last attempt to break the curse once and for all. Corinne, her parents and some mortals help find artifacts of the old queen, but do not join in the chanting. Queen Ramona later attempts to break Colin and the king apart, which would disrupt the chant. Corinne blasts the queen away with her new power (signifying her true role in Phoebe's premonition) and the curse is successfully lifted.
Corinne is then crowned Princess of Tarsina, and now free to live happily ever after with her true love.
