To the Rebellious Princess, being part of the royal family is overrated: You have no control over the path of your life, your responsibilities are numerous and burdensome (or not burdensome enough), you're generally under everyone's thumb, or you're destined to live unhappily in a political marriage. The only options are to throw off your frilly dress and to run off with the first hero who passes through (in old-fashioned stories), or set off for adventures on her own on the sly (in the modern ones). The Rebellious Princess is usually a teenager, typically brash (since it goes hand in hand with being rebellious). If she's not the hero, quite often she's the hero's love interest. This will sometimes invoke Marry for Love not only as another way for her to rebel, but to also get out of an Arranged Marriage. She usually qualifies as a Royal Who Actually Does Something. Sometimes the Rebellious Princess is the White Magician Girl, but not always: in video games, she can also be an archer, warrior, or Black Magician Girl. Mage princesses are more likely to be found Kicking Ass in All Her Finery. She may also be a Politically-Active Princess depending on the nature of her "rebellion". When written badly, this trope evokes a spoiled brat who is simply whining about how bad their palatial life is when they have never seen how the "lower classes" live; their "rebellious nature" is not based in any actual ethics or logic. For this reason, people who write this trope must remember to give royal status suitable drawbacks that she wants to get away from. Somewhat more common in the earlier days of the RPG genre than they are now; their population has dwindled with the reduced number of games involving monarchies. Male examples are rare but not unheard of. Can be an example of Modest Royalty. Often experiencing Rich Boredom and likely to invoke a Caged Bird Metaphor. For characters a little lower on the social hierarchy, see Spirited Young Lady. Might be confused with a Princess in Rags who is forced into not being a princess where the rebellious one chooses not to be. Contrast Princess Classic, Idle Rich. |

In Littlewood, Queen Iris is a queen, but she's still grown fed up with royal life. After making a brief attempt to form a political marriage with the Hero, she decides to abdicate her throne to come live in the town to get away from all her royal duties. And she's not too beat up about all the people now vying for her throne, either. | |

Post-Crisis. Artemis finds her father distasteful and is only stopped (by Athena) from jumping in herself when Zeus tries to rape Diana though she still helps Diana more indirectly. On that note, Athena carefully works and manipulates things for years so that she can usurp her father cleanly since she disapproves of his entitled misogynistic and pitiless attitude. | |

Bioshock Infinite: Technically, Elizabeth Comstock doesn't have a drop of royal blood, but since the floating city she lives on is convinced her father was anointed by God to rule them, and he claimed her as his heir in a prophecy, there's little difference. She resents him for neglecting her and screwing the city up. | |

Several times in the comics, most recently her (annulled) marriage with Patch show her dislike for the duties and protocols associated with her position as princess.

In The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode "Nice Lady", Will is responsible for taking a young British aristocrat, Lady Penelope, to an opera; she instead ends up running off and partying around Los Angeles. Not technically a princess, though Geoffrey does mention that she's in succession for the throne, albeit too far down the line to mean much. | |

Played with in Corsair, where Aura is the princess of a pirate clan and already has the freedom most Rebellious Princesses want. She still rebels though, to the point where Canale knocks her out during a major attempt to rescue her because she refuses to place her safety above his own and go ahead without him. She also thinks she is The Hero's love interest until Ayace callously tells her she can't marry Canale because they're lovers. | |

The first Suikoden also has Odessa Silverberg being an example, you probably won't notice unless you read the novels. She starts out as The White Princess, but fell in love with a rebel leader, and starts seeing the error of The Empire. When her lover is about to get executed, she broke through the execution in an attempt to rescue her lover, with a sword and wearing a wedding dress. Her lover still died, but at least she got him out of being executed by the enemy and he still gets to transfer his ideals to her, leading her to become the leader of The Liberation Army. | |

Suikoden V also has Yuma Vayla, better known by her alias Josephine, the younger sister of one of the New Armes Kingdom's most powerful nobles. She's rebellious purely out of boredom and of finding her own nation lacking in "culture". So she runs off to Falena, her nation's arch-rival, hoping to find people who meet her decidedly odd definition of "cultured". | |

Prince Ossian in Sword Princess Amaltea is a gender-flipped version, thanks to the story being held in a Matriarchy. He's conscious that he's destined as either a Meal Ticket or as another offer in a future alliance, so in rebellion, he cut his long hair, uses pants, and speaks his mind, especially towards heroine Amaltea. | |

The Silmarillion: As the daughter of Finarfin who, at the time of her birth, was a prince and later became the King of the Noldor living in the Undying Lands, Galadriel was is a princess and she was certainly rebellious. She felt trapped in Valinor and longed to see the far-off lands of Middle-earth and establish a realm of her own that she could rule as Queen, so became a prominent leader in the Flight of the Noldor. She was not involved in the Kinslaying of Aqualonde however and may have actively fought against Fëanor in defence of her Teleri kin. After the Kinslaying she was too proud to turn back and seek the pardon of the Valar and therefore fell under the Doom of Mandos and was exiled from the Undying Lands along with her brothers, cousins and uncles Fëanor and Fingolfin. This ban was not lifted until thousands of years later during the events of when she managed to overcome the temptation of the One Ring and assisted the Fellowship in the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron. | |

The Chronicles of Prydain: Princess Eilonwy, whose outspokenness and rebelliousness at times border on childish brattishness. Since Disney created The Film of the Book with The Black Cauldron, Eilonwy would also be part of the Disney line-up; however, her characterization is a bit different in the film. As we see in The Book of Three that when her kinfolk, the Sea People, went to war, the women rode out with the men. In The High King, the ladies of the Court of Mona who were trying to teach her how to act "ladylike" were the weird ones. | |

The Belgariad: Ce'Nedra has the attitude and the love interest bit down, though she actually loves being a princess — one of her major problems with marrying Garion was the fact that, as Overlord of the West, he outranked her. However, she did run away from home with only her personal tutor, because a treaty required that she present herself in her wedding gown at the throne of the Rivan King to be betrothed to him on her sixteenth birthday. She thought it was completely pointless and humiliating, because there hadn't been a Rivan King in hundreds of years. She is, of course, found by the group that includes Garion — who is the heir to the Rivan throne. | |

Outside of the interactive electronic oeuvre, practically every female protagonist in the Disney Animated Canon since The Black Cauldron has been of this type (Eilonwy, Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas, etc., etc., etc.), possibly as a response to feminists complaining about how "Disney Princesses" had been treated previously (almost exclusively) as damsels in distress. Even Aurora to some extent; once she learns that she is a princess and will be subject to an Arranged Marriage, she is not happy with the idea, although she goes along with it. On the flip side, Philip wasn't about to accept his end of the bargain either. Cinderella in Cinderella II: Dreams Come True. She had to follow the traditional role of a Princess, until she decided to break the traditions, much to the King’s (eventual) approval. Jasmine in Aladdin, even more so in the stage adaptation. Mei, Ting-Ting, and Su from Mulan II. At the end of the film, rather than marrying the princes that live on the other side of China, they all instead hook up with Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po, respectively. Moana downplays this. While Moana is drawn to sail the ocean she is willing to put those desires aside to fulfill the responsibilities of being the next chief of her village. It is only when she learns her childhood encounter with the ocean really happened and that Te Ka's curse will impact Motonui regardless of what they do does she leave on the quest to restore the heart of Te Fiti, but even then it's done to save her people. Kiara from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride plays this trope rather existentially, as she fears that her role as princess, then queen, will consume her entire identity, leaving her just a piece of a larger plan. As a teen, she also falls for Kovu from a banished pride. |

Princess Miriamele from the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series disguises herself as a boy and flees her father's castle to avoid an Arranged Marriage, and also because she hates what he's doing with the kingdom. True to the trope, she ends up being the Love Interest for Simon and kicks no little ass herself. What makes her interesting is that her ultimate motivation is to return home to redeem her father, which fails to stop the Evil Plan but does set her up to kill her father when it's the only way to defeat the Storm King afterwards. | |

Princess Quinn of Cirque Royale is the heir to the throne of Clowny Island , but runs off as a teenager and was believed to be rebelling against her position and Arranged Marriage to Leo Cashworthy. (Her younger sister Penelope calls being rebellious a tired trope Quinn was foolish to believe in.) In truth, she left to support her best friend Kingston while he was in the middle of a severe mental crisis—then realized that being away meant she was no longer under the pressures of being next in line to the throne anymore. She willingly stayed hidden from her family for fifteen years, living in the Sheep Kingdom—taking care of large cats in a sanctuary, marrying Kingston, and having their three children. Her children didn't even know they were royalty until her younger sister Penelope came and told Quinn their father had died, making her queen now. | |

Even Aurora to some extent; once she learns that she is a princess and will be subject to an Arranged Marriage, she is not happy with the idea, although she goes along with it. On the flip side, Philip wasn't about to accept his end of the bargain either. | |

From the HoneyWorks music video for "Pride Kakumei", we have the ponytail boy, though this is more of a case of a noble than a princess. She spent her days learning how to fight and use a sword, and seemed to run away from home in order to do it. Eventually her family caught up to her, but she was able to go back to training at the dojo. | |

Justice League: Princess Audrey of Kasnia. More of a party girl ala Paris Hilton, but doomed to an arranged marriage. She strikes up a friendship with Wonder Woman to have a night on the town to go shopping and clubbing. Subverted, however, when her father is poisoned and goes into a coma: she immediately becomes serious about her royal duties and has the wedding take place immediately so that the Kasnian people will have assurance of the royal family's continuity. Too bad her husband-to-be was really the villain Vandal Savage and it was all a part of his plan to gain power. | |

Yes, Your Grace: Princess Asalia is quite dismissive of standard princess duties and prefers engaging in her Tomboy Princess hobbies. She will react to the news that an elderly king wants to marry her by cutting her hair, piercing her nose, and retailoring her dress into something easier to move in. In addition to this, getting her good ending requires the Player Character to allow her to run off with her true love. | |

Fire Emblem is somewhat unusual when it comes to this trope in that rebellious princes outnumber their female counterparts. Probably the most famous of these is Hector of Ostia from Blazing Blade; he's technically a minor noble compared to others (until he becomes the leader of Ostia by the end of that game, and later of the whole Lycia alongside Eliwood), but otherwise hits every note of this trope. Princess Tailtiu of Friege in Genealogy of the Holy War though her dad is a duke instead of a king. Pretty much she's the only noblewoman in the first generation who ran away from home because she disagreed with their methods (Princess Ayra of Isaach did run off from home, but she still adheres to her Kingdom's ethics and it was per her brother the King's request since she had to keep Prince Shannan safe). In The Binding Blade, there's Princess Guinevere of Bern who's on the run for openly questioning her older brother, King Zephiel. She's finally crowned as Queen when Zephiel dies at the hands of Roy, but still has lots of nobles hissing at her. |

The Legend of Drizzt: Drizzt Do'Urden is a famous Rare Male Example, who displays both the characteristics and the character arc in increasingly overtly defying his family and gods. This is aided by the exotic gender dynamics of his society, which is matriarchal, and so places him in an analogous role. | |

Nalia from Baldur's Gate II follows this trope to the letter, except that she's nobility rather than royalty. She also spouts somewhat condescending quasi-liberalisms about helping the "less fortunate", but in a world where even the most egalitarian governments tend to be oligarchic and the economy is a sort of capitalism, she's fighting a losing battle. She's also shown as being somewhat of a self-righteous poser. Nalia's character is somewhat vindicated about halfway through the D'Arnise hold quest, where the player character meets her aunt- a woman who is outraged that some of her servants left their posts at the castle after trolls attacked and conquered it. When the player considers that this attitude is in line with what many other noble NPCs believe, suddenly Nalia's hopeful idealism doesn't sound so bad. | |

Wonder Woman: In the original comics after Steve Trevor crashed on Paradise Island, a contest was held to determine which Amazon would return him to the outside world. Princess Diana wanted to enter the contest but her mother Queen Hippolyta forbade her to do so. Diana entered the contest in disguise and bested all of the other contestants, winning the right to leave. Most retellings of Wonder Woman's origin maintain at least some tension between Diana and her mother when she first goes into Man's World (in the DC Animated Universe, she outright steals the Wonder Woman armor when Hippolyta takes a not-our-problem approach to the white martians' invasion). But it's outright deconstructed in Jill Thompson's The True Amazon, where Diana is portrayed as an immensely spoiled Jerkass who takes up the mantle of Wonder Woman as penance for getting several other Amazons killed during the Contest. Post-Crisis. Artemis finds her father distasteful and is only stopped (by Athena) from jumping in herself when Zeus tries to rape Diana though she still helps Diana more indirectly. On that note, Athena carefully works and manipulates things for years so that she can usurp her father cleanly since she disapproves of his entitled misogynistic and pitiless attitude. The Legend of Wonder Woman (2016) is a revisiting a slight tweaking of Diana's WWII-era origin as a child and young adult, she wants no part of being her mother's heir and runs away to secretly get training and learn things her mother tells her to drop and give up. |

Destrii - the Primatrix Destriianatos - from Doctor Who Magazine. A decidedly different take on the trope, in that Destrii's a Dark Action Girl rebelling against her Evil Matriarch mother, and while her people see her as their heroine, she only wants to escape her dystopian homeworld. When she finally does, she has repeated run-ins with the Eighth Doctor, which eventually see her homeworld's nobility overthrown, her mother dead, and Destrii herself slowly starting a Heel–Face Turn under the Doctor's tutelage. | |

Princess Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi, the titular heroine of Cross Ange, starts off as a fairly unlikeable, prissy, prejudiced princess of an Empire that disapproves of anyone who cannot use the Light of Mana. But when she herself is outed as a "Norma", exiled to Arzenal, made to fight monsters that eat humans in a Humongous Mecha, and later tries to come back to the Misurugi Empire only to suffer an attempted execution, she firmly becomes this as she now sees how savage and barbaric non-Normas are. | |

Princess Cimorene from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles - early in the first book, she intentionally gets herself "kidnapped" by a dragon in order to escape her current life and an Arranged Marriage. Before this, she insisted on her teachers teaching her things not normally covered: magic, cooking, politics, fencing, Latin, etc. She also fights off many of the princes and knights to come to rescue her herself to prevent them from bringing her home and changes her official title (among the dragons) to "Chief Cook and Librarian" to help drive them away. | |

The Princesses of Jahad in Tower of God seem to be largely free to do whatever they want other than needing to look like they're faithful to the king, and not have romantic affairs (so as not to spread around Jahad's superpowers to any offspring), but some of them still manage to be rebellious. Yuri Jahad, a Tomboy Princess, known ruffneck, rule-breaking maverick of a warrior who openly sides with an N.G.O. Superpower. Even when she was chosen as a princess, her plan was to somehow bring down all the rules that bind the princesses. She does the rule-breaking out of sight, though — or gets lucky about that anyway, it's not like she's careful — so for a long time, barely anyone notices or complains. Except for Evan, her guide. The original Anaak Jahad ran away to marry and have a child. She was killed for it. Her daughter, who goes by the same name, is sort of a princess, but in a way that makes her very existence an act of rebellion, not to mention her intention to take revenge on the Jahad family. Endorsi Jahad has been asking around about other princesses who defected — she seems to be considering it, possibly in order to be with a man (albeit one who's expressed no interest himself). Garam Jahad is the opposite of the brash teenage archetype — an old princess who's probably the most mature of all the ones seen by the end of the second season. (The default for most princesses seems to be violent and narcissistic, even when they're sympathetic characters.) She defected and hid herself when she found out about corruption in the royal family and wanted no more part in it. |

Yuffie of Final Fantasy VII is the daughter of Lord Godo, thus making her the princess of Wutai. In Crisis Core she even gives herself the title Treasure Princess. If you follow her sidequest you find out that she does not get along with her father, who she considers a coward for not fighting Shinra. Though they do manage to patch things up (if you have her go through all five levels of the pagoda) Yuffie never does act like you'd expect from a princess. | |

Doc McStuffins: Downplayed in the short "Sir Kirby and the Plucky Princess". Princess Persephone is a friend's doll who is simply tired of always being the Damsel in Distress in playtime scenarios and thus wants to reverse the traditional roles with Sir Kirby (she even has a helmet with a tiara design on it to substitute for her tiara) — who scoffs at the idea that a princess can do the same things a knight does. During the resultant competition between them to see who's better at traditional knight skills she helps rescue him when the scaling-the-wall event goes awry. At the end, Doc suggests to her friend that the princess can be the hero in their next make-believe game; the friend happily agrees to the idea, not having thought of it before, and "Peri" is visibly grateful. | |

Of Fire and Stars: Mare stoutly rejects the expectation that as a princess she'll marry to further the family, along with female gender norms overall in how she dresses and acts most times. She also has no desire to ever be a mother at all, which they expect of her. Frequently she goes off into the city to get intelligence with her friend and former lover Nils, which they would absolutely forbid for her safety if they knew. | |

Feferi of Homestuck is next in line to be the Empress of all Trolls, but she despises the hemospectrum caste system their society has and aspires to change it into a more unified and caring system that protects weaker members of the race instead of culling them. Subverted in that, whilst she despises the caste system, she doesn't shy away from becoming the Empress in order to exact her changes. There's also Feferi's ancestor/descendant Meenah, who ran away to the moon to avoid becoming empress, which was a position she saw as a glorified slave. Unlike most examples, she's far from heroic. Ironically, after the Scratch she wound up in servitude to Lord English, and actually became a glorified slave. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Lord of the Rings: Although Éowyn does not carry the title of "princess," her uncle is the king and her brother Éomer is his heir (after their cousin Théodred died in the war); she also marries Faramir, Prince of Ithilien, a province of Gondor. Her uncle had given her the responsibility of leading the people to the safety of Dunharrow in the mountains. When she was later despairing about things, she secretly rode into battle with the rest of the army disguised as a man, where she killed the Witch-king (with Merry's help). Beren and Lúthien: Lúthien's father King Thingol sends her beloved Beren on an impossible suicide quest to get rid of him and imprisons her in a treehouse to keep her from following. Lúthien escapes, rescues Beren from the dungeon he's ended up in and helps him fulfill the quest so they can get married. The Silmarillion: As the daughter of Finarfin who, at the time of her birth, was a prince and later became the King of the Noldor living in the Undying Lands, Galadriel was is a princess and she was certainly rebellious. She felt trapped in Valinor and longed to see the far-off lands of Middle-earth and establish a realm of her own that she could rule as Queen, so became a prominent leader in the Flight of the Noldor. She was not involved in the Kinslaying of Aqualonde however and may have actively fought against Fëanor in defence of her Teleri kin. After the Kinslaying she was too proud to turn back and seek the pardon of the Valar and therefore fell under the Doom of Mandos and was exiled from the Undying Lands along with her brothers, cousins and uncles Fëanor and Fingolfin. This ban was not lifted until thousands of years later during the events of when she managed to overcome the temptation of the One Ring and assisted the Fellowship in the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron. |

Subverted by Princess Sarene of Elantris. She's very much got the personality, but since she's not the heir (she's got a brother ahead of her in the line of succession) and her father finds having a strong-willed diplomat who can handle herself in a swordfight if she has to and is more than capable of planning on the fly to be a far greater asset to the nation than a pampered princess would be, nobody minds. | |

In The Sword-Edged Blonde, the small job Eddie takes at the start of the book is to retrieve a princess who has either been kidnapped by bandits or else run away with them due to foolish notions of romance. It turns out that she's neither kidnapped nor deluded — she's not really the biological daughter of the king in question, and consequently has an unhappy life which she's trying to get away from. | |

Naga the Serpent of Slayers is the missing first princess of the kingdom of Saillune, Gracia Ul Naga Saillune, and the older sister of Amelia, one of the four major protagonists. After witnessing the assassination of her mother, she ran away from home on a quest to learn the ways of the world, become more powerful (she doesn't, but that really depends on the media), and drink. The Light Novels imply that she does return to her home sporadically, and she even stays in contact with her loved ones, but more often than not for financial reasons. The anime more or less states that she hasn't returned at all, which is a large source of well-hidden angst for Amelia. | |

Is it still rebellious if Daddy was the same way? Flare of Suikoden IV is strong-willed and, if not brash, at least unflinchingly true to her core principles. Then again, King Lino en Kuldes spends most of his days in sandals and a sleeveless t-shirt. C'mon. You know you want this royal family. Flare runs away from home in Tactics to help Kyril and his crew defeat Iskas and his crowd. Semi-subverted because she sees it as duty to her country and her father ends up catching up with them. Also semi-subverted because she had her hypochondriac doctor guard with her throughout unless you let him die, then he's dead forever. Princess Lymsleia from Suikoden V qualifies, although her being rebellious is aimed towards the Godwins' scheming and is trying to be as much of a hindrance to them as possible until the prince can stop them. Suikoden V also has Yuma Vayla, better known by her alias Josephine, the younger sister of one of the New Armes Kingdom's most powerful nobles. She's rebellious purely out of boredom and of finding her own nation lacking in "culture". So she runs off to Falena, her nation's arch-rival, hoping to find people who meet her decidedly odd definition of "cultured". The first Suikoden also has Odessa Silverberg being an example, you probably won't notice unless you read the novels. She starts out as The White Princess, but fell in love with a rebel leader, and starts seeing the error of The Empire. When her lover is about to get executed, she broke through the execution in an attempt to rescue her lover, with a sword and wearing a wedding dress. Her lover still died, but at least she got him out of being executed by the enemy and he still gets to transfer his ideals to her, leading her to become the leader of The Liberation Army. Suikoden III has Lilly Pendragon, the Spoiled Brat daughter of the leader of the Tinto Republic. A super-bossy Heroic Wannabe, she finds an excuse to head into the Grasslands just before things start going to hell and insists on staying there until she can complete her self-assigned mission. In the end, she has to leave when their funds run out... only to lead Tinto's army back in to officially align with the Fire Bringer and join the war. |

Macross Frontier's Alto Saotome, while not technically royalty (nor female), counts. The heir to a well-known family of Kabuki actors, he instead went and pursued his dream of becoming a pilot.

Farnese from Berserk is a deconstruction (although she's technically not a princess). She becomes rebellious and pyromaniac because her parents never paid any attention to her (when her father instructed her to burn an old toy of hers, her half-brother Serpico remarks that it was the first time her father spoke to her in a year). This earns her the social isolation it would realistically earn her, and she eventually burns down her family's mansion out of frustration. She then gets shipped off to a convent and becomes the figurehead leader of the Church Militant because that's all the various nobles and churchmen believe her to be good for. | |

Forgotten Realms: Alusair, a princess of Cormyr, decided that everything may go far and fast but she would devote to her adventures (in different senses) all the time she could spare. Frequently to the point of prolonged inaccessibility via all but emergency communication means. Some people were displeased, but few dared to confront her and she was only the second daughter, not the crown princess, anyway. That is, until she was forced to become Steel Regent. Earned the nickname "The Steel Princess" not just because she had access to high-end equipment and elite troops, but via constant training and enough experience to write "The Steel Princess' Field Guide to Tactics of the Purple Dragon". And when talking with her sister about how few less-than-elite commanders read this book... Liriel Baenre earned this summary from the city's Archmage (before she did anything really wild): |

In the original comics after Steve Trevor crashed on Paradise Island, a contest was held to determine which Amazon would return him to the outside world. Princess Diana wanted to enter the contest but her mother Queen Hippolyta forbade her to do so. Diana entered the contest in disguise and bested all of the other contestants, winning the right to leave. Most retellings of Wonder Woman's origin maintain at least some tension between Diana and her mother when she first goes into Man's World (in the DC Animated Universe, she outright steals the Wonder Woman armor when Hippolyta takes a not-our-problem approach to the white martians' invasion). But it's outright deconstructed in Jill Thompson's The True Amazon, where Diana is portrayed as an immensely spoiled Jerkass who takes up the mantle of Wonder Woman as penance for getting several other Amazons killed during the Contest. | |

Alexis Carew: The titular character is effectively a duke's granddaughter by her homeworld's standards (technically non-titled gentry). She balks at the gender roles society wants to place her in, refusing to marry some asshat solely so her family's land stays in the family and instead joining the Royal Navy as a midshipman while her grandfather tries to get the agnatic primogeniture law changed. Note that these gender roles have only been legally enforced on her planet for two generations at most and the law is nationally unconstitutional (but enforcement is lax to nonexistent in the Fringe), so she's got some reason. | |

Being the top-ranked priestess and direct conduit to the Purato god, JuJu of Magical Circle Guru-Guru is as close to a princess as you can get without being actual royalty. She opts to run away and seek out the heroes after a Running Gag involving a Clingy MacGuffin makes things too ridiculous to tolerate at home. | |

In Dead West, Lady Arabell of Atholl. Technically, she is a duchess, but otherwise qualifies, and she was specifically chosen as a bride to the Porcelain Doctor because of this characteristic. Arabell proves herself when she flees from Scotland before her Arranged Marriage (after her planned marriage to Niall has already been broken up by her parents) to Africa, where his previous groom is stationed. She does this alone, without any kind of help except her gifts, and makes Niall very confused but otherwise proud. Cedric certainly approves of her spunkiness, viewing Arabell's Action Girl tendencies as worthy of a MacArkill, and most likely this is why the Shotgun Wedding with Niall ends up as a Perfectly Arranged Marriage. | |

Another rebellious prince, Sabin, appears in Final Fantasy VI, having given up the throne for his own freedom to train as a monk (and defeat trains as a monk), after winning a coin toss between him and his brother Edgar to decide his own fate. It's later revealed that Edgar rigged the coin toss in his brother's favor—shouldering the burden neither brother really wanted to bear. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star Butterfly is not one who conforms to the standards of a princess. In fact, just mentioning St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses absolutely terrifies her. It soon turns out she has every reason to be scared of it, especially when she sees what it has done to fellow Rebellious Princess, Pony Head (She gets better). Later episodes actually have her referred to as a "Rebel Princess." | |

Gundam seems to have a fair number of these: Cagalli Yula Athha in Gundam SEED is de facto the princess of the neutral state of Orb, but runs off to wage guerrilla warfare against ZAFT in Africa. She is much less volatile in the sequel, Gundam SEED Destiny. In G Gundam, we have the tomboyish and willful Maria Louise from Neo France doing lots of un-princess-like things to get the attention of her "Knight in League" and local Gundam Fighter, George de Sand. After she grows up and learns her lesson, Maria doesn't lose her spirit and does what she can to aid George and the Shuffle Alliance. Relena Peacecraft/Darlian in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Even after being made Queen of the World Sphere Alliance, she refuses to go along with Romefeller's plans, makes her own policy instead, and when she can't fully institute it she prefers to leave matters to Treize rather than being a puppet and bowing to the noblemen. Her full and public rejection of the Princess mantle during Endless Waltz which is televised worldwide. If we count the Deikun clan from Mobile Suit Gundam as royalty, then Zeon Zum Deikun's daughter and Char Aznable's / Casval Deikun's sister Sayla Mass/Artesia Deikun fits the trope quite well. Gundam Unicorn has Audrey Burn, a.k.a. Princess Mineva Lao Zabi, the last survivor member of the Zabi family and heir to the Principality of Zeon, formerly a figurehead used by previous Neo Zeon movements, she's now decided to go out on her own to try to stop another war from breaking out. Deconstructed with Princess Marina Ismail from Gundam 00. No matter what she tries to do, she's just a figurehead and never really accomplishes much despite her struggles. Until the second season finale, where she starts rebuilding Azhadistan after the war is over. Miorine Rembran of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is a corporate heiress rather than an actual aristocrat, but the difference is semantic at best. Owing to the fact that she's specifically the heir to what's effectively an arms manufacturing MegaCorp, the death of her loving mother and her emotionally distant father having declared her hand in marriage to belong to whoever can best her current groom-to-be in a mobile suit duel, whether she likes it or not, she has every reason to want to escape her life, seeking to live freely on Earth. Indeed, her first scene is being picked up during one of her less successful escape attempts (she was free-floating in a spacesuit with limited oxygen). As the series goes on, she becomes more willing to use the power her position gives her and "play the game", and learns the truth of why her father set up those absurd duelling games, but she never drops her disgust. |

In Shuyan Saga, Shuyan feels restricted by her status as princess, and dodges official duties to study kung fu (which, depending on player choice, she may say is "the one thing I have chosen for myself"). Her mother is unimpressed, but her father is a bit more tolerant. When the Guer attack, however, she's just as dedicated to her country as anyone else. | |

Deconstructed in A Memory of Flames. Jaslyn is a princess who loves dragons more than people and loathes the thought of being Queen, which she eventually becomes. However, her desire for rebellion leads her to single-handedly do more harm to the realms than anyone save Kemir; she raises and awakens Silence, one of the most bloodthirsty and cruel dragons of all. The trope comes full circle when she is eventually driven virtually to madness by the potions designed to protect her from Hatchling Disease and submits to her new role. | |

Princess Alena from the second chapter of Dragon Quest IV. The keepers of her castle had to board up the walls in her bedroom specifically because she kept knocking them down to steal away and go on adventures behind the king's back. In fact, within the realm of video games, she's probably the ur-example — and definitely the ur-example for the series. | |

Merida from Brave plays this trope straight at first, then deconstructs it. The film itself really only starts this way, and it's really only the loving yet very strict mother who Merida is up against (when not getting involved with exciting drinking parties, her father is perfectly okay with much of it and even gave her her first bow for her birthday). In the end, it's not so much about her getting her way as it is about her and her mother getting an understanding of each other's opinions and finding a balance after Merida goes through a very rude awakening and lots of Character Development coming from her poorly-thought "rebelliousness". | |

My Little Pony (G3): Rarity was a young filly who just wanted to have fun and had no desire to be a "rainbow princess." In her case, choosing fun over duty is a Bad Thing and she must learn otherwise. The fact that being a princess isn't as much fun as little girls think was pretty much the whole point of "The Princess Promenade." Wysteria, a gardener who basically becomes a princess by finding a certain flower, she is at first willing to take up the mantle and everyone is supportive of her. However, in being trained to be refined and never get her own hooves dirty with manual work and to remember that her friends were now her subjects and she couldn't spend time with them as if nothing had changed, the whole idea quickly soured. She finally finds a loophole: she makes everyone a princess. |

Fire & Blood has a few more examples: Saera Targaryen, who is at the extremely negative end of this, turns into a right little shit of a teenager. Dad has her locked up to try and get her to behave better - she runs off to become a High-Class Call Girl, and never comes back. Baela Targaryen, daughter of the infamous Daemon Targaryen, inherits some of his rebellious streak, and a fondness for hanging out with soldiers that was considered "unladylike". On the plus side, this meant during the Dance of the Dragons she manages to escape a coup attempt, and cripple Aegon II. A few years later, when Aegon III's regents are worried about the line of succession, they try to have her married off quickly and lock her up when she refuses their initial choice of Thaddeus Rowan. The next morning, it's turned out Baela's already managed to sneak out of the castle, and by the time they find her, she's gotten married to her cousin, Alyn. By this point, the regents throw up their hands and decide it's best to act like that was the plan all along. |

Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island, along with the Japan-only Atelier Liese: The Alchemist of Orde features this in Liese Randel herself. It's a little different in that she actually loves her parents and they love her... however, her father is a financial idiot and has managed to get the entire kingdom into a multimillion-gold debt to a foreign bank, and if the kingdom can't pay it off, the bank will foreclose on the rights to rule the kingdom - by any means necessary. Thus Liese disguises herself and leaves home to make a fortune in a neighboring kingdom, setting Atelier Liese's action and plot into motion. She fits the other parts of the trope to a T, being a bit brash and overbearing and she did technically dodge an arranged marriage by doing this - an arrangement to the Prince of the kingdom she's now in. Ooops. This pops up again when Liese appears in Atelier Annie; she's evidently given her parents, who she did manage to bail out in the last game, the flip and run off to Sera Island to participate in the development contest, ostensibly for the prize money. That may not be her only motivation for coming, though... |

Code Geass has a few. Notably, Euphemia li Britannia disapproves of the social Darwinism found throughout The Empire, and makes a point of telling her sister Cornelia something along those lines, hinting that she'd even eye the throne at one point if it meant social reform. Lelouch, meanwhile, is literally a Rebel Prince against Britannia. | |

Princess Tailtiu of Friege in Genealogy of the Holy War though her dad is a duke instead of a king. Pretty much she's the only noblewoman in the first generation who ran away from home because she disagreed with their methods (Princess Ayra of Isaach did run off from home, but she still adheres to her Kingdom's ethics and it was per her brother the King's request since she had to keep Prince Shannan safe). | |

Extremely common in Final Fantasy games: Faris in Final Fantasy V - having disguised herself as a man and become the captain of a gang of pirates, distinctly more so than the former. To her defense, she had been adopted by the pirates' captain after a tragic Hiryuu accident. Another rebellious prince, Sabin, appears in Final Fantasy VI, having given up the throne for his own freedom to train as a monk (and defeat trains as a monk), after winning a coin toss between him and his brother Edgar to decide his own fate. It's later revealed that Edgar rigged the coin toss in his brother's favor—shouldering the burden neither brother really wanted to bear. Yuffie of Final Fantasy VII is the daughter of Lord Godo, thus making her the princess of Wutai. In Crisis Core she even gives herself the title Treasure Princess. If you follow her sidequest you find out that she does not get along with her father, who she considers a coward for not fighting Shinra. Though they do manage to patch things up (if you have her go through all five levels of the pagoda) Yuffie never does act like you'd expect from a princess. Rinoa of Final Fantasy VIII is not quite a princess, but fits the trope nicely — she's the leader of a terrorist group seeking to overthrow the Galbadian government, of which her father is the Minister of Defense. And her party nickname IS "princess". Garnet from Final Fantasy IX is a borderline member — she has a much calmer, shyer personality than most, but she's still a Rebellious Princess. Ashe from Final Fantasy XII is the rebellious princess in the way that she is leading a rebellion against the Archadian Empire that took over Dalmasca and she wants it back to the way it was, initially willing to go through any means. |

A super-bossy Heroic Wannabe, she finds an excuse to head into the Grasslands just before things start going to hell and insists on staying there until she can complete her self-assigned mission.

GoLion: Princess Fala doesn't actually run away, but has to go against her advisors (who even tied her up at the start to keep her from piloting the blue lion). Later, she gets her wish to join the team as their Chick. She takes it a step further in a later episode, ultimately refusing a demand from fellow planetary sovereigns that she take full command of Go Lion. She is at last confident enough to lead a planet and an alliance of planets, but still be just a team member when it comes to the Super Robot, albeit designated as Black Lion's alternate pilot. Of course, her possible romantic feelings for Akira Kogane may play a role in that as well. The same applies to her Voltron counterpart Allura. | |

Future Robot Daltanious: Kento Tate spent most of his life believing he was an ordinary human boy. When he managed to revive Beralios from his slumber, Earl realized the boy was descended from Emperor Palmillion, the last ruler of his long-destroyed planet, the Helios Empire. Earl instantly sets out on making Kento read up on Helios' history and learn how to act diplomatic to potential allies. Kento hates this, and often reacts by screaming at Earl and calling him an old man. Their friction is so bad that in one episode, Earl has to use a helper robot to haul a naked Kento away and force him into formal attire so he can attend a formal meeting about Helios' military. | |

Angela of Trials of Mana. While her motive might not quite fit the trope (she runs away from home because she doesn't want to become sacrificed), her personality and actions are certainly a match. In that game's predecessor, Secret of Mana, Primm runs off with the hero in search of her love interest, Dyluck. (However, she's not actually a princess, but rather the daughter of a noble.) | |

Elsa is only the daughter of a Baron in Quest for Glory. After being rescued and despelled in QFG1, she departs for the locale of QFG5 to become an Action Girl. According to the backstory, she resented the Baron's restrictions on her fighting lifestyle and fled them. | |

Jillian Zamussels in Erfworld did not get along with her father King Banhammer, and preferred to spend as much time as possible away from home on mercenary missions. After her kingdom fell while she was away, she had no interest in returning home to re-establish it until politics and circumstances forced her in that direction. | |

Mia in The Princess Diaries is extremely displeased to find out that she's a princess, largely because of all the stereotypes associated with the position. It should be noted that her parents specifically limit the amount of money she's allowed, and her new title requires her to spend years being trained in courtesy and diplomacy by her overbearing grandmother, who she legitimately hates. She grows into the position eventually, but most of the series devotes itself to answering; "What would a shy, anxious teenager with all the responsibilities of royalty and very few of the automatic privileges be like?" Answer: Not very happy. | |

Dragon Quest: Princess Alena from the second chapter of Dragon Quest IV. The keepers of her castle had to board up the walls in her bedroom specifically because she kept knocking them down to steal away and go on adventures behind the king's back. In fact, within the realm of video games, she's probably the ur-example — and definitely the ur-example for the series. Dragon Quest VII: Maribel isn't actually royalty; however, her father is the richest man in town, and she disobeys him at every turn, causing him no end of grief. Dragon Quest VIII: Jessica Albert is not a princess, but her house is one degree away from royalty, thus making her a Rebellious Noblewoman. Although in Jessica's case, her idea of rebelling is going off to avenge her dead brother rather than be a proper lady. Dragon Quest IX: Princess Simona is well-mannered and polite, but she's got no intention to heed her father's wishes. |

Princess Zelda can fit this trope, depending on the incarnation in question. In some games, she's stated to frequently sneak out of her castle (The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, for instance), and when her kingdom falls in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, she becomes a Ninja instead of hiding out the old fashioned way. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, she's known as Tetra, the very un-princessy captain of a pirate crew who dresses like a boy and kicks considerable butt. Tetra is something of an aversion since for most of the game she was completely unaware of her own identity. Princess Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks would count, especially at the beginning of the game, when she has Link sneak her out of the castle so she can investigate strange goings on. Midna is forced to become one in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess when Zant takes over her kingdom. She has the brash, stubborn personality down perfectly, though. Zelda again in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. She's perfectly aware that she is the only one who will be able to seal away Ganon with her divine power, but because she struggles to awaken her power, she prefers to spend her time as a scholar exploring Hyrule. Her father disapproves of her choice and has Link guard Zelda against her own will. |

Jodhaa in Jodhaa Akbar definitely fits the bill.

Tales of the Jedi: Princess Galia of Onderon is a positive example. She was opposed to her parents' evil ways and had secret dealings with the underground resistance movement, which is how she met and fell in love with Beast Rider noble Oron Kira. She conspired with him to have herself seemingly kidnapped from her palace chambers so that she could marry him. Together they would become the first rulers of Onderon in centuries who were not followers of the Dark Side. | |

Princess Laurana from the Dragonlance series. Blond, brash, and a teenager (by Elven standards anyway.) She runs away from home to try and win back The Hero even though he has just rejected her and her family disapproves of him for being a bastard half-human. She then becomes a Lady of War, even though elven women are not supposed to take up arms. After being reunited with her family, she immediately runs away again, this time to steal a Dragon Orb, from her father and deliver it to the Whitestone Council to help them fight the evil Dragonarmies. She wins the admiration of the highly chauvinistic Knights of Solamnia for her courage and skill in battle and is given command of their army, which she leads to a series of victories through highly innovative and risky tactics. And then, ignoring the advice of Team Dad, Flint Fireforge, she abandons her army to try and rescue her Love Interest, Tanis, only to be betrayed and captured by her Arch-Enemy, Kitiara. | |

Princess Briony from the Shadowmarch series also sort of qualifies. Her father is in captivity and after her older brother Kendrik dies she is forced to pick up the crown. She is not so much averse and seems to enjoy it in principle - if only she were a boy and not subject to the expectations of the courtiers. She does not run away at first at least, but shocks everyone in the castle by wearing her twin brother's clothes most of the time. She does not want to stop being a royal altogether but would like to be treated like her brothers. | |
