Engagement Challenge	comment	"You want to marry my daughter? Prove yourself worthy; go and kill yon dragon," the King proclaims, and the heroes gather to win the fair damsel's hand — a Fairy Tale scenario still used today. Historically, used straight, as a way to get the story going. The reason for the challenge varies.

Engagement Challenge / int_13998e73	comment	MapleStory treats this like a quest. And like any quest in MapleStory, it requires you to collect 20 Bear Asses to earn a Proof of Love. Males have to earn 6 of those Proofs of Love (And have the materials to make the ring), while females have only have to earn 2. That's as far as you can get for free, the actual wedding is going to cost you real money.

However, there is a twist: She's not really his daughter but a child from a village that he destroyed in search of the village treasure. The King only wants her to speak again so she can tell him where the treasure is.

And whoever wants to marry Brunhilde has to defeat her in a three-part athletic contest of throwing a javelin, throwing a boulder, and a long jump or die. Using his Tarnhelm (helmet of invisibility and shape-changing), Siegfried helps Gunther to win by cheating. It does not end well.

Engagement Challenge / int_1c25dba1	comment	In Suikoden V, the Queendom of Falena traditionally chooses the Queen's husband (the Commander of the Queen's Knights) through a tournament. Normally, Falena's nobles use gladiators as champions, but the current Commander Ferid, Queen Arshtat's husband, was a foreigner who won the Sacred Games in an upset. In the tournament for Princess Lymsleia's hand, Lymsleia favors Beowulf, another foreign warrior, but Gizel Godwin cheats to drug Beowulf before the final match with his champion Childerich, and later launches a coup to force Lymsleia to go through with the marriage. In the end, the Games are abolished and it's an open question who Lymsleia will marry.

Engagement Challenge / int_1f140feb	comment	In The Silmarillion/Beren and LÃºthien, the Elvenking Thingol tries to get rid of his daughter LÃºthien's human suitor Beren by tasking him to get one of the holy Silmarils from the world's Satan-equivalent (who wears it constantly), thinking Beren'll either back off, fail, or die trying. Beren accepts the task, but in a variation on the usual trope, his lover LÃºthien is instrumental to the quest; she follows him, repeatedly saves his ass, and vanquishes his much more powerful foes. Not that Beren's a slouch — he's a badass who accomplishes quite a bit himself along the way. He also uses Exact Words to pull it off; he was told to return with a Silmaril in his hand, and he did so. Even though the hand was in the stomach of the werewolf Carcharoth. This makes Thingol feel pretty guilty over the whole thing.

Her wizard father consented to the union and offered to make him human if he could pass his test, but the test was designed for humans, so He-Man was volunteered to be his substitute. He-Man had to enter a maze and retrieve a silver apple from a tree in the center. In the maze, his path gets blocked by a wall of fire, but He-Man realizes it is an illusion and continues. Then, he gets confronted by a beautiful woman who offers him the apple, but He-Man remembers the apple is on the tree and dismisses that illusion. The final obstacle was a centaur who demanded a test of strength. He-Man was unwilling to fight him, so he proposed a tug-of-war, which the centaur accepted and lost. On the way back, He-Man gets attacked by an evil wizard who wanted the girl for himself, but he quickly defeats him and returns with the apple to win the challenge.

Engagement Challenge / int_32625652	comment	An unusual version occurs in volumes 4-5 of Dance in the Vampire Bund. The only three vampires of sufficient rank to be a socially acceptable match for Mina decide that they're tired of waiting for her to decide which of them she's going to marry (Despite being prepubescent and thus being ineligible for marriage to anyone at this time) and so they come up with and execute an Engagement Challenge without her knowledge or consent. Made worse by the fact that the challenge in question is to see which of them (Or rather, whose champion) is able to murder her closest friend. Fortunately, Akira kills two of them and subdues the third, winning Mina the right to order them back to their estates until she's ready to decide who she wishes to marry (Which, if she gets her way, won't be any of the Grand Dukes — she's despised them for centuries).

Eventually, she tells her many suitors that she will marry whoever can string Odysseus' bow and then fire an arrow through the holes of twelve axes that have been lined up. None of them can string the bow, because it is a recurve bow that requires skill as well as strength. Penelope's son Telemachus tries, saying if he succeeds, the suitors have to go home, but he fails as well (but got closer than anyone else did). Then, Odysseus shows up (in disguise) and passes the challenge before he and his allies slaughter the suitors for harassing his wife and mooching off his estate.

However, since each individual challenge is set by the Marat woman in question the nature of the challenge can vary wildly based on the abilities of the prospective husband, and whether she wants to marry him or not. Tavi points out that, for example, if a woman from the Horse clan did not want to marry a man from the Wolf clan, she could challenge him to a horse race since he would stand no chance of winning. This way the Marat woman effectively exercises a complete marriage veto if she so chooses. In the final book Kitai names her challenge to Tavi as killing the Vord Queen. He does, and the final chapter of the series is their wedding.

He succeeds by giving a literal King's Ransom as the bride price, flooring Astrid's family, and everyone who hears about it second-hand. It went down in the history record as indisputably famous and incredible.

In both cases, they're occasions not only to get the hero with his future wife but also to establish just how awesome he is. In the Ramayana, Rama picks up Shiva's personal bow, tries to string it, and snaps it. Most people and some lesser deities aren't even able to lift it. And in the Mahabaratha, Arjuna and Karna both shoot the eye of a wooden fish atop a pole by its statue, and Arjuna goes on to be The Hero while Karna becomes The Dragon.

Engagement Challenge / int_7fc78282	comment	In The Lord of the Rings, Elrond will only let his daughter Arwen marry Aragorn if he's King of a reunited Arnor and Gondor and Sauron is gone; quite sensible, as of course Elrond doesn't want his daughter to stay behind on a Middle-earth ruled by Sauron, so he won't let her unless Aragorn helps make it a safer place to live. As Elrond raised Aragorn as a foster-son, it's pretty strongly implied that he badly wants to make sure that Aragorn fulfills his destiny, so he's also using the useful coincidence fate dealt him to do so. It's implied that Elrond (who is the great grandson of Beren and Luthien, and lived through some very nasty events caused by Thingol's challenge) guesses that history is repeating itself, and that whatever challenge he sets, Aragorn will manage it and marry Arwen - so he sets a task which he actually wants done, rather than an "impossible" task. And unlike their mutual ancestors Beren and LÃºthien, Aragorn and Arwen seem okay with the condition set on their marriage. Naturally Aragorn wants to save the world anyway, and the allusion to Beren implies he's lucky it's a relatively easier prospect.

Rose has powerful magic but no pedigree, and as such would be treated as a baby-making machine by any noble she married. Declan proves that he's powerful enough to take her by force, and then offers her a deal. "The traditional solution" to their dilemma is three engagement challenges. If he loses any of them, he will leave and never bother her again; if he wins them all, she must come with him and be pleasant and agreeable. Rose accepts. It develops that Declan came up with this plan on the spot as a reasonable excuse for him to be hanging around the area, where he has a mission to complete. In short order it's more than a cover, however.

Since he is the head of the largest corporation and Miorine is his heir, this also means vast amounts of wealth and power. Miorine hates everything about this, not least because the top pilot is the insufferable lout Guel. Suletta only finds all this out after she beats Guel in a duel (she just wanted him to apologize to Miorine), meaning she is now Miorine's fiance. Despite minimal actual romance between the two (at least, at first), Miorine clearly prefers Suletta to any of the other challengers.

His daughter is already in love with someone who isn't a wonderful fighter, unbeknownst to daddy. What's worse, the front-runner in the tournament is viciously cruel. In the end, both king and princess plead with the tomboyish Alena to enter the tournament, since a woman winning it would cause the whole marriage thing to be called off. In the original version, it's just the princess who asks Alena to help her. And when Alena wins, the king briefly jokes about marrying her instead. Considering how clearly she could make her disagreement with that idea known, it's no surprise he backs off.

The thing is, the reason the tournament is being held is the princes being there prevents the kingdom from being attacked until it's strong enough to discourage invasions by other means. Furthermore, the challenges are designed to be completely non-lethal and entirely relevant to ruling the kingdom, and the Genre Savvy Princess Rose and her guardian are hoping that narrative causality will make sure that the winner ends up being someone Rose can love, as well as a good king. It works, with Siegfried solving the final test by hiring dragons to solve the biggest problem of the kingdom. In The Fairy Godmother, Prince Alexander and his two brothers head off to a neighbor's kingdom to take part in one of these ... and two of the three (Alexander and Octavian) flunk before they even get there when they're rude to a disguised Godmother Elena.

Some versions claim he brought back twice that number in order to show Saul up. This is less silly than it sounds; the challenge amounts to "Kill one hundred of our worst enemies by yourself" (since, as noted below, they're probably not going to give him their genitalia), and since Jews were/are circumcised, foreskins would be fairly conclusive proof that the part came from some enemy of the Jews. Also Book of Judges 1:12: The Book of Tobit (not to be found in Protestant Bibles) features a woman cursed with a demon so that the men who try to marry her don't survive the wedding night. In a subversion of the trope, her parents are only too eager to marry her off to a young man willing to give it a try — the seven previous suitors didn't make it. With the help of the angel Raphael, Tobias banishes the demon by putting fish parts in the fire and saying his prayers and survives 'til morning. Older still: In Book of Genesis, Laban has Jacob work for a period of 7 years (in lieu of a more conventional bride price) for his daughter, Rachel. Then, he switches her out for her sister Leah under the bridal veil, on the grounds that he didn't think it was appropriate for the younger daughter to be wed before the elder. Daddy agrees that he'll still give Jacob the girl he really wanted...in exchange for another 7 years of servitude.

Engagement Challenge / int_abfcff6a	comment	Hilariously invoked in one of Rocky and Bullwinkle's Fractured Fairy Tales. A young man is told by the king that in order to marry the princess, he must successfully complete one task. The youth points out that this is unusual, as three tasks is the regular requirement. That show had at least two other sketches poking fun at the trope. One in which the princess refuses to marry the frog-man who could leap to the top of the glass hill she was imprisoned on and ran off with the architect who built it, and one where the Cinderella type refused to marry the invisible prince despite being able to see him because he was even uglier than her stepsisters.

He finds the star, which turns out to be a MacGuffin Turned Human, and falls in love with her instead. (As it turns out, Victoria was just teasing him and was already engaged to someone else.) Of course, the movie made both Victoria and her suitor a bit less honorable than in the book, wherein Victoria thought Tristran dead and was all set to marry her other beau when Tristran returned — and she was willing to honor her promise to him regardless. She was rather distressed, to be quite honest. Not that it was idle characterization, either: the marriage had a rather startling effect on a certain prophecy.

Later that night, the princess meets cute with one of the visiting princes' helicopter pilots (she's a big helicopter buff), and while he is her intellectual equal he's neither as tall nor as strong as she is (she doesn't care, but her parents might, considering their criteria). It turns out that not only is he Noodle Guy's pilot but he's actually the prince — he and Noodle Guy switched places because he (the prince) thought the challenge was silly. Naturally, the prince and princess get a Happily Ever After. Another story, "Georgiana and the Dragon" features the titular princess rescuing a prince from a dragon.

Rias' friend, Sona, has a standing challenge that she'll be willing to marry anyone that defeats her in a chess game.

Culhwch is cursed by his Wicked Stepmother that he can marry no-one but the daughter of Ysbaddaden the Giant. Ysbaddaden claims that he cannot prepare for the ceremony until Culhwch hunts the giant boar Twrch Trwyth and retrieves a comb, scissors, and razor from his hair. But he can only be tracked by a certain hound, and the leash can only be made by a certain hero and held by another... the job ultimately involves over forty different tasks and the aid of no less than King Arthur and his warband. And then, once they've done all that, Ysbaddeden's nephew Goreu beheads the giant before the marriage in vengeance for the deaths of his brothers.

If they survive they can marry the princess. All of them do it, not one of them survives, until eventually the queen gets so fed up with this that she makes him stop it. The final courtier's impossible task is to go to the shops and get the king a packet of cigarettes. Ironically, he fails as well; he gets hit by a bus on the way home. In an alternate version of the sketch, the prince succeeds, but a better-looking prince shows up and slays a 'dread dragon' (a plastic toy on a string), at which point the king hands him the engagement. This causes the rejected prince to get an evil witch to curse everyonenote including herself, which she realises too late to turn into chickens in revenge. At which point the kingdom is invaded by chicken prospectors.

She was absolutely joking, though, and is shocked that he took her seriously and is trying to hold her to it. She agrees to duels him anyway and marry him he she loses. She wins, which just makes him move on to attempted kidnapping. During the Kaiba Corp Grand Prix, psychotic fangirl Vivian Wong injures Yugi's grandfather and refuses to help him unless Yugi duels her and if he loses: in the dub, he has to go on a date with her; in the original, he has to become her "love slave." The audience is only shown the last two turns, where Yugi wins, of course. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Both Camyula and Tanya have the hots for two of the boys chosen to guard the keys, but only Tanya makes her duel into one of these. She wins, but considering she's an adult and Bastion's a teenager, the whole plot and its results make some fans uncomfortable. Later in GX, after Chazz develops a crush on Alexis, he makes the mistake of turning to her love-crazed brother for help and takes his advice to challenge her to a duel where she has to: in the original, go on a date with him; and in the dub, become his girlfriend. To make sure she can't refuse, Atticus has him steal the 7 keys they've been trying to protect all season and put those on the line as well. Thoroughly annoyed by the whole Zany Scheme, Alexis wins. Yu Gi Oh 5Ds: During their duel, Jack's Brainwashed and Crazy love interest Carly shows him a vision of what will happen if she defeats him — instead of him losing his soul like all other losers of Shadow Games in this arc, she'll get to keep him by her side as the Ruling Couple over a conquered world. Jack accepts the terms but fights off the illusion and refuses to surrender. Ultimately, the real Carly is able to take control long enough to make a move that causes her to lose because she knew Jack was planning a Together in Death ending.

His daughter is already in love with someone who isn't a wonderful fighter, unbeknownst to daddy. What's worse, the front-runner in the tournament is viciously cruel. In the end, both king and princess plead with the tomboyish Alena to enter the tournament, since a woman winning it would cause the whole marriage thing to be called off. In the original version, it's just the princess who asks Alena to help her. And when Alena wins, the king briefly jokes about marrying her instead. Considering how clearly she could make her disagreement with that idea known, it's no surprise he backs off. Dragon Quest V features an Engagement Challenge for the hand of Nera, along with a shield the hero needs as a wedding present. You have to complete the challenge and can marry Nera, but Nera's father is willing to let you marry your childhood friend Bianca if you so desire and still get the shield. In the DS Remake, you can also choose to marry Nera's sister Debora, but no matter what, you'll always get the Zenithian Shield. Conveniently, all three girls are descendants of the previous Chosen One, thus allowing your son to be the new Chosen One later in the game.

It was a trap as there was no ring and the priest had men there ready to detain and kill Nike. Livi saved her and they got around the lack of formal ring with Everythings Better With Rainbows. What gets foisted on Livius by Nike's grandmother after the plan to hypnotize him into forgetting Nike fails. Overlaps with Impossible Task, given the ridiculous conditions he has to face — finding the key to the tower where Nike is held from a muddy swamp, in the middle of a massive thunderstorm summoned by said grandmother. This means that, if he takes too long looking for the key, there's a chance he might drown due to the rising waters. When he is finally pulled out, he had found the key and put it in his vest so he did not drop it.

Engagement Challenge / int_eeac804a	comment	In the Emergency! fic ""The Right of Combat", there's a variation on this, not a challenge of the suitor per se, but of the engagement itself. Dr.Brackett, Johnny, and Chet are cat shifters, and after Chet is infected, he is told he must take a mate because of the People's dangerously intense sex drive. Chet had already been flirting with Brackett's sister and they pledge themselves. But, Brackett doesn't like the idea of Chet, a 'brought in', marrying her because they are members of an old, well-respected family. Brackett demands the Right of Combat and ends up battling her champion, Johnny, to first pin. Johnny wins and Kel must accept the pairing.

Engagement Challenge / int_f502a38a	comment	The Smurfs (1981): In "The Gallant Smurf", to prevent her son Godfrey from marrying the peasant Priscilla, Queen Felicity promises his hand to anyone who can show her something she hasnâ€™t seen before. Of course, since she has lived a long time, she â€œhas seen everythingâ€�. Hogatha tries to win the challenge by kidnapping Grampa Smurf, since Smurfs are still an unknown species to most. But when Godfrey and Priscilla swear their love to each other in front of the Queen, she remarks with disgust that she has â€œnever seen such true love beforeâ€�. An escaped and hiding Grampa Smurf points this out to Godfrey while hiding behind his head, and Godfrey uses his motherâ€™s Exact Words, saying that Priscilla has shown her something she has never seen before, and thus has won the challenge.

Engagement Challenge / int_fa3ca713	comment	Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey: In the final phase of the game, Penelope challenges the suitors to shoot an arrow through a setup of axes and shields, bouncing it off the axes correctly and missing the shields until it hits the target at the end, with the winner becoming her new husband. Wishbone, naturally, passes in order to beat the game and escape from the Combobulator.

Engagement Challenge / int_fc2c6dc5	comment	The Book of Tobit (not to be found in Protestant Bibles) features a woman cursed with a demon so that the men who try to marry her don't survive the wedding night. In a subversion of the trope, her parents are only too eager to marry her off to a young man willing to give it a try — the seven previous suitors didn't make it. With the help of the angel Raphael, Tobias banishes the demon by putting fish parts in the fire and saying his prayers and survives 'til morning.

Engagement Challenge / int_fe5f7909	comment	Parodied in Guards! Guards!, in which barbarian heroes refuse to try and slay the dragon plaguing Ankh-Morpork unless they get "the king's daughter's hand in marriage and half the kingdom", despite the fact that Ankh-Morpork is a republic and its Patrician is unmarried. He's got an aunt though. And a dog. One of the heroes asks what kind of dog before deciding "Nah."
