Origin[]

This pea was used in the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea to test a princess's physical sensitivity. The fairy tale was created by Hans Christian Andersen, and was first published with three others by Andersen in an inexpensive booklet on May 8 1835 in Copenhagen by C. A. Reitzel.

Effects[]

The pea, when touched, gives its owner heightened physical sensitivity. They become so physically sensitive that they can feel things from far away. However, the pea only works on females.
