Jungle Princess | comment |
The Distaff Counterpart of Tarzan of the Apes, this is a young woman, usually of European extraction, though she has been known to be of another race or even Not Quite Human. She has been raised in a Hungry Jungle, usually by Natives though sometimes by animals. Despite her upbringing, though, she has managed to grasp the basic rudiments of Hulk Speak English, tools, and fashion — she is frequently seen wearing fetching leaf, leather or usually Fur Bikinis and wielding a hunting knife and spear. She is far more likely to have neat hair and makeup without any calluses or scars with Perma-Shave than Wild Hair or even be an Unkempt Beauty. She almost always Prefers Going Barefoot. She will very rarely be depicted in primitive shoes like sandals or moccasins sometimes compared to the natives who still go barefoot. She is also far more likely to meet Hollywood Beauty Standards than be an Amazonian Beauty, or have a Rugged Scar. She is also likely to meet her love interest via Rescue Romance, live in a Treehouse of Fun, travel via Vine Swing or Zebra, have an Animal-Themed Fighting Style, or be excellent at combat parkour. There are two very different sub tropes of the jungle princess. Firstly there is the Jungle Queen; a Noble Savage living In Harmony with Nature, who often has powers like controlling animals, causing them to obey her instead of seeing her as lunch. Even the insects. She might even have literal magic Elemental Powers, Animorphism or even Green Thumb, though those abilities are more rare. She tends to care far more about saving her animal "friends" she already can control, than even knowing the names of her people, aka the woefully benighted Hollywood Natives who treat her as a queen or goddess. If the Jungle Princess is particularly naive, she'll buy into that belief. Even if she's not particularly naive and although she may well possess some fearsomely strong instincts. The Jungle Queen is also likely to be stoic, and unforgiving to villains who would dare hurt innocent animals, especially in modern incarnations. She is also likely to be a Chaste Hero with no concept of romance. Allowing the Bold Explorer to manipulate her, in a suspiciously positively framed way. She is ofen painted as an object of desire or another beast to find in the wild and tame rather than her own adventurous character with a dynamic personality. She is also likely to speak in Hulk Speak English. Due to her care for the environment and her animal slaves over human lives, she is more likely to only fight the Corrupt Corporate Executive or Evil Poacher than other very dangerous criminals, hostile tribes or supernatural threats, especially in modern fiction. She is also always going to save the forgettable Distressed Dude more than ending up in danger herself. Inevitably she will be single when she first encounters a hunky American or European explorer. She will find him in the clutch of some local danger (being menaced by her tame leopard is always fun if it's a romantic comedy), rescue him, and romance will ensue. While the movie version of the Jungle Princess will let her explorer bring her back to his home and 'civilize' her, the TV version will insist on staying in the jungle, and so our hero will settle down in a nice treehouse and steal kisses from her when she's not busy ordering her lions to savage the occasional Evil Poacher. The Jungle Queen was originally popularized by Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, and she was actually becoming far less popular by the late ‘40s. Eventually, Jungle Opera faded out as a genre and soon after increasing environmental awareness in pop culture resulted in the Jungle Queen’s return, because some authors thought that reducing jungle dwelling characters and cultures to Noble Savages living In Harmony with Nature and making the jungle friendly to those people and only hostile to environmental criminals, would reinforce a Green Aesop. It had the unfortunate opposite effect of a Clueless Aesop and resulted in stereotypical and overall poorly characterized depictions of native cultures, along with less perils from the Hungry Jungle that Real Life people, especially indigenous people and conservationists, deal with. It also resulted in a general lack of Worldbuilding. The other sub trope of the Jungle Princess known as the Jungle Girl, who is much more similar to the Tarzan Boy, and also generally more popular today than the Jungle Queen. She is far more likely to be a Non-Powered Costumed Hero; working like a Knight Errant who travels from village to village helping local villages and fighting dangerous criminals. Unless the author intends to make her morally ambiguous, she is usually more of an Ideal Hero than her Noble Savage alternative. Although she cannot control animals, she is still likely to have one or more Action Pets that she can understand though body language. If she has a love interest, expect them to enjoy adventures traveling as a Battle Couple and rescuing each other when the situation calls for it. If she has no love interest, or the love interest is unavailable, she is likely to go on adventures with her Action Pet or even a Badass Native friend, who will sometimes be a Kid Sidekick. Her friendship with the natives is also likely to be more neutral, but if they do treat her as a goddess or queen, expect her to not like to be worshipped. If anything, as an Ideal Hero, she is likely to sacrifice everything for them and have undying loyalty to her tribe. In terms of personality, this variation is often more friendly and will even go out of her way to Save the Villain. Her foes still include environmental criminals, but she is also allowed to fight a greater variety of villains who don't harm the environment, these include Human Traffickers, Those Wacky Nazis, the Witch Doctor, Cannibal Tribe or other hostile natives, aliens, Hired Guns, warlords, pirates, Egomaniac Hunters who are Hunting the Most Dangerous Game, Not Quite Human villains, supernatural threats, and the dangerous plants and animals of the Hungry Jungle. If she ends up Chained to a Rock or Locked Up and Left Behind, expect her to find a way out eventually of her own wit or be rescued by a friend, who probably owes her from when she has done the same for them. She might even be a Nemesis Magnet, who often ends up a Badass in Distress from villains who want revenge because Being Good Sucks. She is also far more likely to have her own quirks like if she Prefers Going Barefoot in civilization due to her upbringing or sometimes she is a Badass Bookworm. She might still be an Innocent Fanservice Girl due to cultural differences, and if she is a Chaste Hero she will either have more chemistry and opinions about how she is treated or it will be based on traditions rather than ignorance. She often has no superhuman abilities apart from understanding animals, Super-Senses and Awesome by Analysis. She is also likely to be a Cunning Linguist. She is still often pack equal or more brute force than the male characters, though some might have realistic weaknesses as a female and compensate with her wit. This variation was made popular by characters like Rulah, Jungle Goddess, then in the midst of the environmental Author Tract of the ‘70s, Hanna Barbara created Jana of the Jungle who, along with Rulah, become this variation’s Trope Codifier, later followed by Frank Choe’s reimagining of this character with Dynamite Comics’ ‘’Jungle Girl’’ comics, which became a Trope Namer. Frank Choe also established the new standard, and arguably more cool, look of unkempt and muscular characters instead of the classic Hollywood Beauty Standards; this look is even used by Jungle Queen variations today like modern depictions of Sheena. There is also a third, older and less direct type, as the love interest of the Tarzan Boy, where she is going to be nothing more than a helpless Damsel in Distress, who frequently ends up Bound and Gagged as a Human Sacrifice, Chained to a Rock or Locked Up and Left Behind by the Evil Poacher as she waits for the Loincloth clad Tarzan Boy to rescue her. This variation is far less popular now. The trope name ultimately dates to a 1920 silent film serial called The Jungle Princess, but its common usage probably dates from the 1936 film of the same name starring Dorothy Lamour. The trope itself is older than that, though, with possibly the first example being R ima from W. H. Hudson's 1904 book Green Mansions. In Space Opera, many a Green-Skinned Space Babe is just a jungle princess with a dye job and a ray gun. See Nubile Savage, which is her default appearance. Compare Handsome Heroic Caveman. Not to be confused with The Chief's Daughter, where the leading lady actually fits the native culture (but is almost always called a princess for some reason).

On Adventure Time, there is a character actually named "Jungle Princess"...but then, that's to be expected, as this show has a princess for just about everything. There's also Susan Strong, who's a blonde woman with Hulk Speak, but actually lives underground. | |

Captive Wild Woman: The Ape Woman started life as an exceptionally intelligent gorilla, Cheela, from the Belgian Congo. Brought over to the United States, she is turned into a human, Paula Dupree, by means of human hormone and cerebrum transplants. While she doesn't ever return home, she has an approximation of the jungle in the Whipple Circus, where she gets employed for the lion taming act once it's discovered that she has an eerie control over animals, whom she can gaze into submission. As a gorilla with no human past or education, she is incapable of human speech, but she does understand it. Her love interest is the American Fred Mason, for whose safety she ends up sacrificing herself. | |

Subverted in the French comic Sillage (a.k.a. Wake in English). In the first volume, the heroine Nävis (Navee) encounters a group of alien slaves who have been ordered to change the environment of her jungle planet for their masters' purposes and ends up winning them over not because they view her as a goddess but because she possesses superior logic. Unfortunately that still doesn't prevent the jungle from being destroyed, and she's adopted and "civilized" by the advanced culture of the title. | |

Vow of Nudity: Haara, a reclusive warrior monk who lives alone and naked in the wilderness, showcases many elements of this archetype within her characterization. The other half of her background (an escaped slave from the Genasi Empire) averts some of the Fridge Logic usually present within this trope, justifying her familiarity with most scavenged tools, cultured grasp of language, and lack of body hair. | |

Zhu Rong, from Koei's Dynasty Warriors franchise, takes this to its logical extension as a fully-fledged Jungle Queen. Not only is she the only blond female in an ostensibly all-Asian lineup, but she's married to a barbarian king and worshiped as a bona fide Goddess by her people. Oh, and there's the obligatory jungle-kini in which she wanders round, too. Her being worshipped as a Goddess is, in DW canon (and the book it was based on), justified. She's the descendant of the god of fire. |

Citra from Far Cry 3 is a Western note she is dark-skinned but has blue eyes, and is related to a foreign NPC woman who rules a Pacific island and doesn't wear very much. She wasn't raised by the natives but has enthusiastically taken to their ways. She is attracted to the game's American protagonist and not to the local men. Also qualifies as an evil version, because she encourages Jason's Blood Knight attitude and Sanity Slippage, and eventually entices him to kill his friends and loved ones and have sex with her- and then decides that since their child(if she actually is pregnant) will grow to be a greater warrior than his father, Jason has now outlived his usefulness, so she stabs him to death. | |

In the comic The Maxx, Julie Winters manifests in the Outback as the Jungle Queen, the embodiment of this trope. Later, it's revealed that the Outback is her subconscious, and she created the Jungle Queen in order to have control as an all-powerful goddess after having been brutally raped and beaten years ago. | |

Jasmine from Deltora Quest. A variation is that she only appeared to Lief and Barda to steal their stuff, but eventually came back and saved them before they could be eaten by the Wen. She also appears in the anime adaptation. Frequently paired with Lief in fanfiction, and the anime has a few hints of it as well, though you have to look for it to see them. Although by the end of the second series, it's clear that Jasmine and Lief are interested in each other romantically, and get married at the end of the third series. | |

All the same, even as the human Paula Dupree she has the strength of a gorilla. In human form, she is a skilled swimmer and over time has picked up some capacity for human speech. Her playground this time around is the Crestview Sanatorium, which grounds contain a lot of vegetation. With Fred no longer in the picture, Paula's romantic interest shifts to the American Bob Whitney, who does not return her feelings. | |

Rulah, Jungle Goddess was Fox Feature's response to Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Her real name was given variously as either Jane Dodge (Zoot #7) or Joan Grayson (Rulah, Jungle Goddess #20). In the latter version, Rulah is a young aviatrix on a solo flight over Africa when her plane loses control and crashes. She replaces her clothes (which were destroyed in the crash) with a bikini made from the skin of a dead giraffe. Soon afterward, Rulah saves a local tribe from an evil woman; the grateful tribespeople declares her queen. Rulah decides to remain in the jungle as its protector. Rulah's comic adventures are sometimes startlingly violent; and there are generous helpings of Les Yay among Rulah and her suspiciously-pale native maidens. Said maidens being the subjects of peril, hairdressing, abduction, experiments, and much hugging when rescued. | |

She can hunt, however, and does wear a Fur Bikini. In her backstory, it's revealed that she actually comes from a rich family in the city and moved to the Jungle at age 14 due to getting kicked out of her family for getting pregnant. | |
