When we think of a Princess, the most common association is the archetypical princess, the perfectly good, innocent, and beautiful princess, who is practically a saint with a royal title. These are largely associated with Fairy Tales, and are considered to be as old as those types of stories. Actually, this character started in the Victorian Era. In that time when stories were being shaped by Disneyfication and Bowdlerization, the concept of Courtly Love was warped to take all the sexual Sub Text out and turn the noble lady into an ideal of the times. All to provide only the most positive and uncomplicated image to children, and even adults as well. Princess Classic has many general traits. |

The Princesses of Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason in The Phantom Tollbooth. They are universally loved for their "great beauty, their gentle ways, and their ability to solve all controversies fairly and reasonably." Even better, their unjust exile from the Kingdom of Wisdom is what sends Milo on his quest in the first place. | |

Sleeping Beauty Princess Aurora is one of the best fits of this trope in the entire franchise. Beautiful with a lovely singing voice (soprano, of course) and long blonde hair, elegant even when dressed as a peasant, shy and demure, she is a Friend to All Living Things who accepts her duty even when it pains her. She even wears pink and blue and has a dainty tiara. | |

The Night Unfurls: Prim Fiorire is a teenage version. The basics are there: female, royal, and The Ingenue. Additional traits include being part of The Beautiful Elite that is the Seven Shields, the long pink hair, the tiara, and the preference of Simple, yet Opulent clothing in either white or pink. Prim straddles the line between the traditional and modern take of this archetype. She's described as delicate, because she wasn't groomed to be a Knight in Shining Armor like her cousin Alicia. Nonetheless, she proves to be quite opinionated in the belief that the Hunter is actually not a bad person and is able to contribute to Eostia's cause. Astonishingly, the resident cynic of the story (the aforementioned Hunter) has never mocked Prim for her idealism. | |

RWBY: Salem serves as the inspiration for the heroine in a classic fairy tale, recalled as an innocent, golden-haired maiden rescued from her father's castle. But unlike the story, the real Salem was a far more complex person and ultimately Subverted the trope. While it's true that she started out as a sheltered maiden, her magic was strong enough to allow her to fight alongside Ozma. And while she was innocent, she was emotionally immature rather than pure of heart. She refused to accept Ozma's death, demanding that the Gods return her lover to her, and too proud to back down even after being cursed. With time, she has developed into a cunning manipulator and a terrible Queen, but retains her stubborn pride and unwillingness to let Oz go. | |

Tales of Vesperia's Estellise "Estelle" Sidos Heurassein reconstructs this. Definite girly girl, innocent, sweet, and has powerful Healing Hands abilities from her royal heritage. Fully capable of kicking ass, is actually not a Friend to All Living Things despite attempts otherwise, she's somewhat stuck politically speaking in a Succession Crisis, and said healing power actually makes her an Apocalypse Maiden until the resident Teen Genius Rita solves the problem. She does, however, still need some saving at times (though it's fully justified) and though she has a "Knight" in Yuri Lowell, there is absolutely no romance between her and him (though there is some Ship Tease, it's ultimately not portrayed as a romance); she instead shows more interest in the hot-tempered mage Rita, who is even more interested in her. | |

Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel fits this trope to a T, although she prefers suits over dresses. She is sweet, kind, completely adorable, and prone to bursting into song. She also quite stubbornly believes the best of everyone and wants everyone to have a chance to be the best person they can be. It's just that her domain happens to be Hell, and Charlie is literally the daughter of Lucifer. Since Hell's inhabitants are overall utterly depraved, it's a Parodied Trope, and her sunny attitude and faith towards them comes across as barely sane. | |

Rozalin in Disgaea 2 is what you get when you take a Princess Classic and throw her in the boondocks without warning. Disgaea 3's Sapphire, on the other hand, gleefully decapitates this trope with a chainsaw. Melodia from Disgaea 6 is a deconstruction of the Princess Classic. She's introduced as a Damsel in Distress, frequently breaks out into song, and her life's goal is to find her Knight in Shining Armor who can give her a "happy ending". However, she thinks the whole world revolves around her finding her happy ending and despite preaching about the Power of Love, she doesn't really care for the 665 or so previous princes who threw away their lives for her. Her character development involves her realizing there's more to it than just her vague definition of a happy ending and falling in love for real. |

Cursed Princess Club: Zigzagged with the three Pastel Kingdom princesses. While they're all Nice Girls who wear regal dresses and have been consciously trained from birth to be this trope, how well they actually fit the archetype varies: Maria is the most straightforward (and even stereotypical) example. She's a pretty blonde girl who passively receives assistance from cute woodland animals, is noted in-story to have a Beautiful Singing Voice, and is generally a Cool Big Sis to her younger siblings. Lorena, with her cute purple hair, pink clothes, and ability to make flowers sprout around her while she sleeps, has a very princessy vibe. However, she also desires to be The Strategist when she grows up, and she can be surprisingly violent when she feels she's in danger. Gwendolyn, the main character of the series, certainly has the characterization down pat, what with her All-Loving Hero personality, great cooking skills, Girly Girl demeanor, and so on. But she's also looks considerably uglier and scarier than this trope typically allows, resembling a witch or a goblin more than a princess. Unfortunately, Gwen and her sisters were so sheltered growing up that it never crossed their minds that there might be something unprincess-like about her appearance — which makes it all the more painful when she overhears a potential fiancé from outside of their social bubble calling her ugly. |

Frozen: Princess Anna is a Reconstruction. She has an innocent and optimistic disposition despite being a bit tomboyish, and even falls in Love at First Sight with a handsome prince, but that prince charming reveals himself to be a power-hungry sociopath who preyed on her naivete. However, her choice to stay kind and optimistic enables her to realize that the main antagonist is Not Evil, Just Misunderstood, saving herself, said antagonist, and the kingdom, and she moves on to a man who reciprocates her care. | |

One half of the soul and fiber of Shrek is about subverting this one by turning Princess Fiona into The Lad-ette. Princess Fiona is beautiful and content to play by the rules she's been given and be the Damsel in Distress... so long as her Prince Charming actually shows up. If she's attacked, she'll turn into a Pretty Princess Powerhouse, though, and as she spends more time with Shrek, she slowly reveals a somewhat naughty side. (She's not always so nice to animals.) She's not as demure as she seems, and at the end of the movie, she transforms into an ogre permanently. | |

Of the "core" Disney Princesses, the three earliest - the Original Era princesses: Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora, fit this trope: The sweet-singing, sweet-natured, and beautiful Princess Snow White ends up with her prince in a castle in the clouds. Cinderella is gentle and kind to everyone, even mice and the nasty cat Lucifer, and becomes a princess at the end of the movie when she marries into the royal family. Sleeping Beauty Princess Aurora is one of the best fits of this trope in the entire franchise. Beautiful with a lovely singing voice (soprano, of course) and long blonde hair, elegant even when dressed as a peasant, shy and demure, she is a Friend to All Living Things who accepts her duty even when it pains her. She even wears pink and blue and has a dainty tiara. |

Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire: Sansa Stark always aspired to be this since toddlerhood and she actively cultivates all the traits of the trope she can express as hard as possible throughout the series (including turning them into barely adequate weaponry when needed). She can even do the "can talk to the well-trained and polite animals" one (for a time). Unfortunately, she also lives in a politically volatile Crapsack World within a story dedicated to deconstructing common fantasy tropes (with some reconstruction on the side). So you can guess where her initial bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, pink-dyed romanticism is heading. The late Elia Martell is often described in these terms. Elia was a princess of Dorne and married into the Targaryen royal family. She is an example of Delicate Is Beautiful as she was prematurely born and noted to have "delicate beauty". She was known to be kindhearted, sweet, clever, and not to mention, brave. She fought fiercely to save her infant's life and was brutally murdered for it. Many remark she was absolutely Too Good for This Sinful Earth. |

One Piece: Princess Shirahoshi meets most of the criteria. She's the actual princess of Fishman Island. She's so utterly committed to peace between Fishmen and humans that she doesn't reveal the identity of her mother's killer for a decade. Her beauty is said to rival that of Boa Hancock. Her clothing is about as pimped-out as the traditional mermaid sea-shell halter would allow. About the only way she doesn't play this trope straight down the line is that she turns out to be not so defenseless, having the nigh-apocalyptic power to control Sea Kings. She's also estimated to be 17 meters tall, which is unprincess-like from a human perspective. | |

Little Hands, Big Attitude: Blaze manages to be this trope despite living her whole life in an apocalyptic wasteland without any resources in absolute poverty. She is the last descendant of the Sol Royal line, and despite the horrible conditions she grew up in she tries her best to hold herself with poise, elegance, and grace. She curtsies in introductions. She is very kind to everyone and self-sacrificing, and always feels like she must repay the kindness of other people. Other people call her "young lady", and she is interested in the history and politics of her new home. She is absolutely loyal to the people close to her, and they love her in return. | |

Belinda in The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope is certainly meant to reflect this trope. She's not any sort of royalty, but the Queen Bee of all the court she surveys, while still being friendly (and uncommitted) to everyone. That is, until a certain involuntary haircut happens. | |

Angelica Pickles in Rugrats suspects she may be one but decides to take three tests to prove it. First is by having Phil and Lil try and climb up her hair. Second she attempts to see if she can feel a pea through a series of pillows but Chuckie eats the pea so they use a fork instead. And finally they check to see if a slipper fits her foot. | |

Code Geass: Euphemia also fits in the oozing virtue and sweetness and light way until Lelouch accidentally geasses her and sends her out on a killing spree. She's also a Deconstruction as she proves to be painfully naive and out of her depths despite her best efforts and attempts to move into being more proactive. Her death ends up being the point of no-return for many characters as the story takes a very dark turn. | |

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: Princess Julia. Royal Blood? She's got it. Innocent? Definitely (Virgin? Well, she cannot marry without really knowing what you're doing.) Pretty? Well, extremely cute would be the line here. Elegant Clothing? She wears long white robes with a purple cape held by intricate gold shoulder wraps. Good and Sweet? Usually when she's not Brainwashed and Crazy. Shy and Demure? Check. However she's a Lady of War, of the Caster Variety. Notable that her ultimate weapon summons a dragon to do the fighting. Marries the Prince and lives happily ever after? She Can. If the player knows what to do. Note that there aren't many countries for her Prince to be from... and all the other countries' Princes are taken... Doesn't die? Ummm... Anyone Can Die in this game. Too Good for This Sinful Earth? No. If she dies, it's a tragedy that should've been avoided. | |

In Skip Beat!, it's rather Played for Laughs that Kyoko tends to see every fairy tale this way. This goes so far as to see famous celebrities who appear nice or frail to be the typical Princess Classic. Kyoko's visions are repeatedly beaten down. Her tendency to see things this way takes on a darker turn if you recall that this may be a coping mechanism of hers due to her own emotionally abusive childhood. | |

Poked fun at in Angry Lead Skies, when Garrett ponders Kip Prose's childish fantasies about saving beautiful princesses, and how, despite having run into everything else on his weird cases, he's never met a Princess Classic. Near the end, Garrett does catch sight of two genuine royal daughters, and they're both quite unattractive, yet are praised and fawned upon constantly by political kiss-ups. | |

Princess Ugg is about an academy for these sorts of characters... and what happens when a Barbarian Princess joins them. The "classic" princesses are mostly concerned with marriage, grace, and diversions like sewing and fashion, to the point where their history teacher calls them on it by claiming an over-focus on those subjects makes them appear dull to prospective princes. The four named princesses themselves are a subversion, at least initially, as they start out as Ulga's antagonists, though Phonecia and Desdemona are closer to the trope than Julifer and Jasmin. | |

Enchanted: Giselle is a spoof of this, but a loving spoof. Giselle's personality is an exaggerated version of the kind associated with this trope. Not only is Giselle kindhearted and friendly to everyone, romantic, beautiful, an excellent singer, and determined against all odds to make the best of her situation, but she is so naturally positive that she doesn't experience anger until adulthood, genuinely does not realize that there is a possibility that anything could go wrong with her engagement to a man she has never had a conversation with, and does not understand sarcasm. She's not born royal, but gets engaged to a prince, setting her up to become royal and complete the trope until it's subverted when she and the prince realize they're not right for each other and end up marrying other people, keeping her nonroyal. | |

Game of Thrones: Just like in the source material, Sansa tries to be one. Though not initially a princess in her own right, she was raised by her mother be a Proper Lady and is eager to fulfill this role when she is betrothed to Prince Joffrey, only to find her dream Prince Charming is in actuality a total Prince Charmless, petulant Royal Brat, and The Caligula and she lives in a major Crapsack World. Then her brother Robb declares himself King in the North, which does make her a princess in her own right. Too bad her hosts don't recognize Stark claims of sovereignty. By the time she could be undeniably referred to as a princess (in Season 6 when her brother Jon is crowned king), the naiveté and innocence associated with the trope have long faded. She concludes the series by being crowned Queen in the North in her own right, promoting her from this to The High Queen. Margaery is an astute politician and manipulator who puts on the persona of a charming and harmless princess to all and sundry. This has gained her the fanatical support of most of the common people, to whom she's highly charitable. Myrcella is a young, lovely, golden-haired princess in a Perfectly Arranged Marriage to a handsome Prince Charming. Of course, this being Westeros, she's Too Happy to Live. |

Sonia Nevermind from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is said to be the Ultimate Princess. She's rich, beautiful, and in line to become queen one day of the small country of Novoselic. She has a few moments of being a Fish out of Water due to being unfamiliar with Japanese culture, and there's hints that she's a Covert Pervert and a Nightmare Fetishist. Even so, Sonia is unfailingly polite and nice to everyone, even taking the role of The Heart late in the game by leading the other students into holding onto hope in the face of the Big Bad trying to make them all succumb to despair. Sonia's role as The Heart and her kindness even helps her in another way: the only way to escape the Deadly Game set up by Monokuma is to literally get away with murder. Since Sonia's so sweet and polite to the other students, nobody wants to kill her. Indeed, Sonia survives the events of the Killing Game and escapes, even making a cameo in Danganronpa 3 where she retains her kindness to keep the newest victims' spirits up. | |

Melodia from Disgaea 6 is a deconstruction of the Princess Classic. She's introduced as a Damsel in Distress, frequently breaks out into song, and her life's goal is to find her Knight in Shining Armor who can give her a "happy ending". However, she thinks the whole world revolves around her finding her happy ending and despite preaching about the Power of Love, she doesn't really care for the 665 or so previous princes who threw away their lives for her. Her character development involves her realizing there's more to it than just her vague definition of a happy ending and falling in love for real. | |

Unfortunately for her, as eldest, she is the heir to the throne, which leads to her being thrust into ruling before she is truly ready for it.

She has long hair, wears a purple dress, thinks the world of her subjects, dotes on her big brother, is warm and accepting of others, brave enough to charge into battle, and can wield powerful healing magic. However, she is a bit prissy, has an obsession with Aizu to the point where she eagerly supports her "blood drenched angel of vengeance", can also wield powerful attack magic, and fuels her power with necromancy stones made from her dead subjects. Albeit she's not aware of that last one. | |

Sailor Moon: Princess Serenity in the '90s anime. Actual royalty? Check. Innocence personified? The only vice she seems to have is a Forbidden Love with Prince Endymion of Earth and that solely exists so Usagi and Mamoru can have a Reincarnation Romance. There's very little chance she would've been punished for breaking the law that Earth and Moon people couldn't interact. She is, of course, pretty with blonde hair almost long enough to reach the ground. Her clothes are Simple, yet Opulent and she has a small crown. While she isn't shy, she seems to be demure, polite, and courteous and is definitely helpless; it's why she has bodyguards and her Prince Charming is knight-themed with a sword. She ends up dying (along with Endymion). Her reincarnation is instead the one who gets the Happily Ever After. She's also a Messianic Archetype due to the anime implying that this is Usagi's most powerful form. It seems like every important battle with the Big Bad of the season has her transform into Serenity to beat them and save the Earth. Subverted in the manga and Crystal, especially if your introduction to the character was the 90s anime. While the physical description still applies, her personality is the complete opposite of a Princess Classic. Princess Serenity here is a lot like Usagi: flighty, reckless, doesn't like school and will actively attempt to avoid her lessons, into boys, and generally lives in a dream world. Her and Endymion's relationship thus ceases to be her only vice. She's still helpless and has bodyguards and a knight-themed Prince Charming with a sword, but it's to emphasize how different she is from Sailor Moon, who's a strong fighter in her own right (actually stronger than her boyfriend and bodyguards put together) and how she fights alongside of them instead of being protected by them. She still dies, but instead of being Too Good for This Sinful Earth, she's painted as a tragic princess. Also committing suicide isn't very Princess Classic-like. Takeuchi was instead going for a Romeo & Juliet vibe fitting with the manga's maturer tone. Also the manga implied that Endymion and Serenity were having sex, but didn't portray the act as in any way sullying her. Invoked in a filler episode of the '90s anime when Usagi went to "princess classes" in an attempt to be more like her past self due to feeling inadequate about being the reincarnated Moon Princess they had spent the past few episodes looking for. Of course, it turned out to be a trap set by the villain. She fails and in the process manages to out herself as Sailor Moon to the Monster of the Week. |
