When it comes to women in positions of power with royal lineage, there are two flavors. On one hand, you have the evil, power-hungry bitches, and on the other hand, you have this trope. A woman of wealth, power, and near-impossible beauty. She always has a calm demeanor and regal bearing. Her very voice, even if it does not ring with power (and it often does), still lets you know that, in some way, she is probably better than you, even if the lady herself does not look down on you at all. Her beauty can often be so great, even simple robes look majestic on her. Her beauty and goodness are usually to be admired passionately but from some distance. The High Queen is rarely a love interest, but the few times she is, expect a little warming up due to the charms of the hero. A common characterization for non-evil regnant queens, princesses (the more mature ones), and goddesses (especially the non-evil/bastardy ones). May also be the polar opposite of the Rich Bitch. This is what The Ojou and Princess Classic want to be when they grow up. If she can fight, she is a Lady of War. Sometimes we get to see glimpses — or the whole story from the POV — of the queen behind the Tough Leader Façade. She is also very likely to have a Lady and Knight relationship with one of her subjects at some point. For the others, she typically commands such high respect and devotion that her subjects will march to and fight at the Gates of Hell without question if she needed them to. The presence of a High Queen is sometimes an indication of a Matriarchy. The Iron Lady is the non-royal version of this trope; because non-royals are not born with their position, they have to fight for them and such characters generally combine elements of The High Queen and God Save Us from the Queen!. If she literally fights, she, too, is a Lady of War. If her fighting is more indirect and subtle, she is Silk Hiding Steel. Despite the name, this is unrelated to The High King. In terms of the ranks of Authority Tropes, the tropes that are equal are God Save Us from the Queen! (her Evil Counterpart), She Is the King, Iron Lady, The Good King (her Spear Counterpart), and President Evil. The next steps down are Princely Tropes (Prince Charming being its ground zero) and Princess Tropes (ditto Princess Classic). The next step up is The Emperor. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Zelda is depicted this way. Her status is reflected in her colours, which are purple, gold, and ivory rather than the more standard pink. Zelda chooses to surrender in order to stop Zant from hurting her people, rather than trying to rage war and is an All-Loving Heroine even towards the Big Bad Ganondorf. She is presented as more stoic and regal than she usually is as well. She is the only Zelda thus far to be a queen. Zelda spends the game as a "princess," but it's mentioned that her kingdom was attacked just before her coronation. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl she is referred to as a queen. The beautiful and regal Queen Rutela of the Zora was this — until Big Bad Zant had her executed in order to force the Zora to yield to him. She was a good queen in life and watches over her son as a ghost. |

Heralds of Valdemar: Downplayed with Queen Selenay of Valdemar. She isn't described as being exceptionally beautiful, nor is she a great warrior. She's just a very, very good ruler, and most Valdemarans love her for it. High Priest Solaris of Karse is quite beautiful and has a very forceful personality to boot. She also rules a theocracy that has historically held near-absolute power. She stays on the side of Good because that's just who she is — it's why Vkandis chose her, the first ever female Son of the Sun — to clean up the old, thoroughly corrupt priesthood. |

Dragon Age has its share of High Queens, at least in theory. Queen Anora of Ferelden in Dragon Age: Origins is an interesting aversion. She plays the role of a High Queen, being poised and elegant and charming. The people of Ferelden love her, and even the Empress of Orlais describes her as "a rose among thorns"... but once you get to know her, she quickly proves herself to be a manipulative and power-hungry politician. She isn't evil, and she really wants what's best for Ferelden and its people; it's just that she is convinced she needs to be in power to make that happen. If the Warden in Origins is a female human noble, she can become Queen of Ferelden by the end of the game by marrying Alistair and making him king. Even if she does not, a female Warden holds the position of Arlessa of Amaranthine (basically a countess) in the expansion Awakening. In either case, this character can fill the trope through noble behavior and character, benevolence to the people, and great heroism. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, we meet Empress Celene of Orlais, a great patron of the arts and a scholar who professes interest in maintaining peace with allies. As with Anora, some of this is an act; supplemental material reveals that behind the scenes she can be ruthless, manipulative, and sneaky. However, she truly loves her empire and its people, and she does put on an excellent display of manners, graciousness, and willingness to compromise. She is also genuinely grateful to the Inquisitor if they save her life. Likewise the Inquisitor can take on a role similar to this if female and the player takes mostly diplomatic, compassionate choices. Especially true in the case of a human Inquisitor, who is a member of the noble Trevelyan family, and/or a Faithful Inquisitor who genuinely believes themselves to be the Herald of Andraste. A Faithful Inquisitor even gets special dialogue options when addressing the Templars (should they choose to recruit them) and to offer divine forgiveness to a potential prisoner while sitting in judgement. |

The Rising of the Shield Hero: Queen Mirelia of Melromarc is definitely this, and given her country is a Matriarchy, she is the true power behind the throne. During the early part of the story, she's forced to be away handling diplomatic unrest due to the actions of her moronic husband and sadistic eldest daughter. When she gets back home, she sets Naofumi's situation right and hands out severe punishment to those who conspired against him, while giving Naofumi all the adulation and respect he deserved and then some. | |

Melian from The Silmarillion also qualifies. A lesser deity (like Gandalf), older than the world itself, she was Queen of Doriath; her husband Thingol ruled (unfortunately, since he was much less wise than she was) but it was she who protected their realm. She knew and taught Galadriel, by the way. | |

Queen Irene of Attolia in The Queen's Thief Series and Queen Helen of Eddis are both this trope, though Eddis is not beautiful but is described as almost ugly. However, Eddis is much beloved by her subjects, who do not at all care that she is not pretty. She herself is rather insecure about this and thinks she should be beautiful to fit this trope, and wears uncomfortable, but pretty dresses to make up for her lack in beauty by increasing her elegance and regal bearing. Irene is more traditionally beautiful and takes care to present herself as regal and calm at all times. Although she had to fight very hard to gain and keep her throne, her current subjects are fiercely loyal to her. | |

In the episode "Liege Lord" of Reign, Lord McKenzie, her late father's loyal man, believes that Queen Mary does not care about Scotland since she has been living in the safety of France. Mary tells him about the secret clause in her wedding contract which gives Scotland to France if she dies without an heir and that she cannot risk the freedom of her country. She asks him to tell everyone when he returns to Scotland. He accepts and all of his men place their swords at their Queen's feet as he kisses her hand and says that they have waited a long time for her to rise. | |

Honor Harrington: Queen Elizabeth III is a constitutional monarch with (somewhat) limited power, but it doesn't stop her from being this. Physically very attractive, she also has an extremely forceful personality combined with an excellent education, a fiery temper, and a burning need to do what's right by her people. Oh, and she never, ever gives up. Treecats are seldom wrong in the names they give their human companions, and hers is "Soul of Steel." Downplayed somewhat with Honor Harrington herself. She isn't quite a queen in her own right, but as Steadholder Harrington and Duchess Harrington she wields near-royal levels of power over her lands on Grayson and Manticore. By the latter books in the series, she's also one of the richest people on Manticore or Grayson. And like Elizabeth III, Honor enjoys a level of allegiance from her subjects that borders on worship because she's a good ruler and because they know she'd die for them — and nearly has, several times. |

In Hyrule Warriors Zelda is treated this way. She has been referred to as essentially being a queen in supplementary material but is officially known as a princess. She is the sweet and poised ruler of Hyrule. She lacks the aloofness and stoicism of most examples though. Zelda is also a Lady of War willing to fight for her kingdom as the commander-in-chief. Link is actually a knight in training, making the Lady and Knight aspect even more explicit than in the main series. | |

The Night Unfurls has Celestine Lucross, High Elf Queen of Eostia, and the Goddess Reborn herself. Known for her beauty and warmth, she has ruled with benevolence throughout her centuries-long reign as queen, especially during the period of the Forever War between her and her former friend Olga. Deconstructed as those attributes do not make her a Universally Beloved Leader (because it is simply not possible for everyone to like a person, just like in Real Life) like common depictions, the Black Dogs and any traitors affiliated with them being the prime dissidents. Moreover, having a "good ruler" does not magically solve every problem in the country — the ongoing warfare, and the Fantastic Racism, hence enslavement of dark elves (the latter being the underlying cause for a centuries-old war in the past) prove exactly that. Chapter 24 has Celestine coming into terms with this, resolving to step up her game. | |

Shrek: Princess Fiona is initially portrayed like a queen from fairy tales, speaking formally in matters of courtship and presenting high expectations of how she is to be rescued, who is to rescue her, and so forth. Her mother Queen Lillian is kind, courteous, and gracious. She is also far more accepting of Fiona's marriage to Shrek than her husband — who vehemently opposes it. The third film shows that she is also Silk Hiding Steel when it comes to escaping from prison. |

Queen Aurala of Aundair in Eberron is (literally) good, wise, compassionate, and all kinds of positive traits. The commoners and nobles both love her because she genuinely wants the best for the nation and has the ability to make it happen. Beyond its own borders, Aundair is also diplomatically active, an ardent supporter of the Treaty of Thronehold that ended the Last War which wracked the continent for a century. However... Aurala also believes a new war is inevitable since nobody came out of the prior one truly satisfied. She is building up the military in secret and already planning her first strikes — her desire to protect her realm and belief in her own fitness to rule is turning into a Fatal Flaw which may lead her to reignite the war because she thinks she should be High Queen of the continent. | |

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, we meet Empress Celene of Orlais, a great patron of the arts and a scholar who professes interest in maintaining peace with allies. As with Anora, some of this is an act; supplemental material reveals that behind the scenes she can be ruthless, manipulative, and sneaky. However, she truly loves her empire and its people, and she does put on an excellent display of manners, graciousness, and willingness to compromise. She is also genuinely grateful to the Inquisitor if they save her life. | |

Discussed in Elizabeth (see the above page quote) when Sir Walsingham coaches the young Queen Elizabeth I in how to win the love and devotion of her divided people. The end sequence of the film shows Elizabeth 'remaking' herself as a virgin to better embody the trope, and it seems to work; in the sequel, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, the older Elizabeth is shown as being a great and powerful Queen who is beloved and almost treated as a deity by a majority of her subjects. | |

The Divine Comedy: The Queen of Heaven is so noble that the Creator became a creature through her, yet despite being given a title greater than any being, she remains the model of humility and perfectly conveys the love of God to all his children rather than relying on her own power. It's by her compassion that Dante walked through Hell, by her smile that all the saints flame with happiness, and by her prayers that Dante's vision, memory, and poetry can reflect the wonder of her son, the Trinity. | |

In fact, one of her recorded actions was giving the credit for a well-placed strategic move that she was clearly responsible for to wisdom from their goddess.

Attack on Titan features two such women in power. Freida Reiss was the previous ruler of the Walls, and known for her beauty and kindness. Years after her death, her younger half-sister overthrows their father and assumes her rightful place on the throne. Though Historia (aka Krista Lenz) was initially forced to take the throne, she grows into this role and uses her authority to improve the lives of her people. As such, she becomes a beloved Queen known for her beauty and compassion. | |

The Queen's Corgi has, of course, Queen Elizabeth II, monarch of the United Kingdom and proud owner of four (later three, since Charlie leaves with Mitzi to America) corgis, named Rex, Charlie, Margaret, and Nelson. She was known to be quite compassionate and caring towards her husband and corgis, especially after Rex's fake death. However, she was also very firm too, like when she scolded Rex for embarrassing the American president. | |

Queen Ehlana in The Elenium and The Tamuli trilogies by David Eddings. At the beginning, she is a Damsel in Distress who was poisoned and put into sleep in crystal to keep her alive until the heroes find a cure. When she is finally awakened, she plots revenge against the one who poisoned her, easily Batman Gambits a church into choosing her own candidate for a pope, lectures another country's king on how to be a true Magnificent Bastard... She is on the good side, do not worry. | |

The White Queen miniseries has successive high queens that take the throne. Elizabeth Woodville projects the image of the High Queen marvelously, but it is clear that behind closed doors she can be very cunning and demanding. Following in her footsteps is Anne Neville, who is painfully aware of her own shortcomings in comparison to the beauty and charisma that her predecessor possessed. Finally Elizabeth of York takes the throne, who is the epitome of the trope — save for the fact that unlike the other two, she has no desire to be Queen. | |

Isabella Rossellini's Athena in the TV miniseries of The Odyssey has an affectionate, conversational, almost casual relationship with her mortal. Her relative lack of imperious posturing (along with a gently teasing/chiding attitude) serves to enhance her confidence and thus her authority. | |

Land of Oz: While Ozma of Oz holds the title of princess, in the later books she definitely has all the other qualities required. She is powerfully magical (some of the books indicate that she is a fairy, although the series is not known for its consistency with many details), beloved by the entire kingdom, and loves her people every bit as much as they love her. She also recognizes how much Dorothy is loved by the people of Oz and, rather than resent her as an interloper, makes her a princess as well; she even later brings her, as well as her beloved aunt and uncle, to live in Oz permanently. When Ozma is kidnapped in one book, the effort to rescue her is enormous. Glinda the Good is this, as well; she is universally kind and generally regarded as the wisest being in Oz, to the point that all of the good characters look to her for advice and encouragement. She is also an exceptionally powerful sorceress, probably the most potent magic-user in the realm, as well as beautiful and regal. |

In the 12th-century Georgian epic "The Knight in the Panther's Skin'', Tinatin is described as (among other things) very beautiful, very wise, and generous to a fault. Her father, king Rostevan, abdicates early in the story, appointing her as the next "king". One of the two main heroes, Avtandil, is in love with her. She is a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of the real Queen Tamar of Georgia,(a.k.a. King Tamar) to whom this work was dedicated. The poem begins with a preface where she is also described as a High Queen. There is a theory that the author was in love with her. | |

Queen Anora of Ferelden in Dragon Age: Origins is an interesting aversion. She plays the role of a High Queen, being poised and elegant and charming. The people of Ferelden love her, and even the Empress of Orlais describes her as "a rose among thorns"... but once you get to know her, she quickly proves herself to be a manipulative and power-hungry politician. She isn't evil, and she really wants what's best for Ferelden and its people; it's just that she is convinced she needs to be in power to make that happen. | |

If the Warden in Origins is a female human noble, she can become Queen of Ferelden by the end of the game by marrying Alistair and making him king. Even if she does not, a female Warden holds the position of Arlessa of Amaranthine (basically a countess) in the expansion Awakening. In either case, this character can fill the trope through noble behavior and character, benevolence to the people, and great heroism. | |

Backstory not clearly indicated in the theatrical release states that Bavmorda magically seduced the prince of Tir Asleen in her bid for power, and their daughter Sorsha is thus Tir Asleen royalty, apparently heir to her throne. As queen she is a beautiful, good ruler, but also flawed by keeping secrets from her children and Elora (also pushing her daughter Kit to be more feminine like her, which goes against Kit's desires, along with her unwanted arranged marriage). | |

The Legend of Zelda: In Hyrule Warriors Zelda is treated this way. She has been referred to as essentially being a queen in supplementary material but is officially known as a princess. She is the sweet and poised ruler of Hyrule. She lacks the aloofness and stoicism of most examples though. Zelda is also a Lady of War willing to fight for her kingdom as the commander-in-chief. Link is actually a knight in training, making the Lady and Knight aspect even more explicit than in the main series. Oracle of Ages has Queen Ambi. While she is a God Save Us from the Queen! in the game, that only started after she was first manipulated and then possessed by Veran. Conversations with her subjects reveal that she was a benevolent and kind queen before Nayru's arrival. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Zelda is depicted this way. Her status is reflected in her colours, which are purple, gold, and ivory rather than the more standard pink. Zelda chooses to surrender in order to stop Zant from hurting her people, rather than trying to rage war and is an All-Loving Heroine even towards the Big Bad Ganondorf. She is presented as more stoic and regal than she usually is as well. She is the only Zelda thus far to be a queen. Zelda spends the game as a "princess," but it's mentioned that her kingdom was attacked just before her coronation. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl she is referred to as a queen. The beautiful and regal Queen Rutela of the Zora was this — until Big Bad Zant had her executed in order to force the Zora to yield to him. She was a good queen in life and watches over her son as a ghost. |

Queen Maria Pia of Savoy in Ships Ahoy!. She is the co-ruler of 1870s-era Portugal, ruling alongside a king, and is very benevolent and kind towards Oprah and her Odd Squad escort during her time in the country, even allowing the girl to call her "Pia" and allowing her to be exempt from curtseying. She is also very distrustful of adult nobles, which is why she seeks Oprah's help, as well as the help of Oprah's translators Otilla and Osvaldo, to get the duke of another country to cooperate with her on politics. | |

Mothra is tooled as this in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019). She is referred to as the Queen, opposite Godzilla as the King, and is shown as intelligent, graceful, beautiful, and surprisingly kind and docile by kaiju standards (though still murderously effective in a fight). | |

Frozen (2013): Queen Elsa is a benevolent and wise queen who cares about the well-being of others, including her own sister. However, due to her inability to control her ice powers, she deliberately cultivates a calm demeanor and royal aloofness, and when her powers get exposed, she is fully willing to exile herself to protect her subjects from her powers, although it doesn't last long, since her exile doesn't fix anything. In the end, once she finds the key to controlling her powers (thanks to her sister, Princess Anna), she remains a benevolent queen and is eventually beloved by everyone in Arendelle. The sequels show just how well she is adored. | |

Lacus Clyne of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. In the original Japanese, her speech pattern is extremely formal and slightly princessy. She is almost always calm (there are only two times she's very emotional: when her father Siegel is killed, and when her Body Double Meer dies in her arms) and is nicknamed The Pink Princess and is referred to as The White Queen in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. | |

The Lord of the Rings and its lore: Lady Galadriel, though technically never a queen. She is what she is due to having lived in Valinor and seen the faces of the Valar, having one of the Three Rings, and being over 7000-years-old and thus older than the sun itself, and thus possessing the wisdom of a very, very long life. In the film adaptations, she is played by Cate Blanchett as a beautiful, ethereal, elegant, and supremely powerful leader who definitely embodies the trope. The story ends soon after Lady Arwen becomes the first Queen of Gondor after centuries of absence. Like her husband is as king, she is the model of what a royal woman should be, with all the wisdom of the great elves, compassion enough to accept mortality to be with her king, and beauty not seen since the passing of Lúthien. Melian from The Silmarillion also qualifies. A lesser deity (like Gandalf), older than the world itself, she was Queen of Doriath; her husband Thingol ruled (unfortunately, since he was much less wise than she was) but it was she who protected their realm. She knew and taught Galadriel, by the way. And on a higher level, Varda is the High Queen of all Middle-earth. Of all the Valar, the Elves hold her most in reverence. |

Vital to the plot of Red River (1995), which centers around the royal succession of the Hittites. The Tawananna aka the Queen of the Hittites is required to be the King's Number Two rather than merely a Hot Consort. A past Tawananna, Kail's deceased mother Queen Henti, is depicted as a sweet and kind ruler in flashbacks, in contrast to the Big Bad Queen Nakia. | |

Empress Jessamine Kaldwin of Dishonored was much beloved by the populace. The player mainly learns about her from the various in-game books as she dies in the intro of the game. Her daughter, Emily, can become one in the sequel providing you, the player, make honorable choices. At the beginning of the sequel, Emily is an okay Empress, but it takes seeing her kingdom from up close to realize she's not as wise or benevolent as she'd thought. It's only after the events of the sequel if the player takes the Low Chaos regardless of who they play that Emily will eventually evolve into this, most especially if the player chooses to play as her instead of Corvo that they can see her Character Development as she retakes her throne from her usurping Evil Aunt Delilah. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Barenziah, former Queen of Morrowind and Wayrest and later Queen Mother of Morrowind in the backstory through her final appearance in Morrowind, is portrayed as such in her official biography, Biography of Queen Barenziah, as well as in Imperial and Tribunal Temple propaganda. In those, she possesses beauty and goodness of the highest order and exudes loyalty to the Empire with her every word and action. However, it is subverted and heavily deconstructed in her "unofficial" biography, The Real Barenziah. It reveals that in her youth as Lost Orphaned Royalty, she got into all sorts of adventures that would be unbecoming of a Queen, including spending time as The Artful Dodger (as a member of the Thieves' Guild no less) and engaging in The Oldest Profession for a time. She had some extremely negative experiences when dealing with Tiber Septim and his Empire, and any loyalty to it came out of love for her husband, Symmachus, a retired Imperial Legion General, or because the Empire was the "Gray" in a Black-and-Gray Morality scenario. Naturally, The Real Barenziah version of events is denied by the official Imperial histories and the Dunmeri Tribunal Temple, who wanted to put the author to death for heresy, but Barenziah herself is said to have enjoyed the book, befriended the author and spared his life. Make of that what you will. For The Elder Scrolls Online, Queen Ayrenn, queen of the High Elves and founder of the first Aldmeri Dominion. She does not possess any of the extreme Fantastic Racism that many of her predecessors (or future successors) cling to, viewing her Wood Elf and Khajiit allies as well as her underlings as valued partners and equals, and while she is opposed to a human-dominated Tamriel, she would ultimately prefer peace and co-existence with humanity over conflict. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Margaery Tyrell, a beautiful noble-born girl, possesses a reputation of purity and benevolence that is largely the result of having a very PR-savvy grandmother, Olenna. Margaery is a shrewd, intelligent girl, and ingratiates herself with the citizens of King's Landing, buys food from the market, purchases dresses from local seamstresses, and gives great shows of charity. She also is helping to shape Tommen Baratheon into The Good King, advising him to ride in sight of his subjects and observe the small council so that he can see how things are run (though Tommen's mother Cersei Lannister forbids them from doing so). Sansa Stark starts the series thinking that Queen Cersei Lannister is wise, kind, and benevolent, being easily taken in by her beauty, grace, and regal bearing. As with many other things, Sansa is dead wrong about this, and quickly realizes what Cersei is really like. Daenerys Targaryen's crusade to end slavery in Slaver's Bay inspires religions to worship her, as well as no end of adoration from slaves and the Red Priests of R'hllor, the former of whom dub her Mhysa ("mother" in the Ghiscari language) and the latter to regard her as the messianic Azor Ahai. That said, she also has no shortage of enemies, many of them slavers who see her as a cruel queen. In the distant past of the Targaryen dynasty, Queen Alysanne Targaryen was the very definition of this trope. She is remembered for her wisdom, poise, acts of charity, and royal dignity. Queen Alysanne is the reason a lot of unjust and harmful noble customs like the First Night were made illegal since she was the only highborn woman to actually pay attention to the commoner women. The name Alysanne (a typical Valyrian name) is highly popular in Westeros even years after the fall of the Targaryen dynasty. |

Game of Thrones: Sansa Stark, the beautiful highborn daughter of House Stark who initially aspires to be a Princess Classic before she gets her wish and it all goes very, very wrong. While doing what she can to survive in a Decadent Court, Sansa starts to show signs of this trope as well as Silk Hiding Steel in episode "Blackwater", when she calms down a room full of anxious noble ladies shortly after a drunken Cersei mentions the harm to befall them when the city is sacked before leaving the room. Later, Sansa stands up to the Hound without once losing her resolve. In Season 6, after being sold to the Boltons, raped and tortured by Ramsay Bolton, Sansa flees to the safety of her older half-brother Jon Snow at Castle Black, where she resolves to reclaim their home, Winterfell, from the Boltons. Sansa and Jon gather an army to save their brother Rickon (but he is killed by Ramsay Bolton), succeed in defeating Ramsay and take back Winterfell for House Stark. When Jon is elected the King in the North by Northern lords and Knights of the Vale, Sansa — now the Lady of Winterfell — becomes Jon's regent when he must leave on a diplomatic mission to seek Daenerys Targaryen's help in defending the realms against the army of the dead. As her brother's regent, Sansa rules in his stead, doing her best to prepare the kingdom for the oncoming winter. The series ends with Sansa declaring the North to no longer be one of the Seven Kingdoms, and its people proclaim her their queen. Daenerys Targaryen, the beautiful exiled daughter of House Targaryen who is believed to be the last scion of her family. Having spent most of her life on the run from assassins after her family's dynasty is overthrown, she climbs her way back up by earning the devotion of those who follow her and hatching three dragons. Daenerys later becomes the queen of Meereen after she takes it from the slave masters and works to abolish slavery. Due to her experiences in leadership and rulership, Daenerys develops a more nuanced understanding of ruling over time and earns Undying Loyalty from individuals due to her strength of character, including Jorah Mormont, Tyrion Lannister, Missandei, the Dothraki, the Unsullied, and later earns the respect and loyalty of Jon Snow, with whom she falls in love. While extreme in her methods of punishing her enemies, Daenerys also possesses empathy for the oppressed and seeks to liberate them. She tells Tyrion that if she returns to Westeros, she wants to change and abolish the feudal power and that she wants to revise the system in favor of the poor rather than aristocrats. She also wants to break from her family as well, seeing them as being just as bad as the other houses that overthrew her family's dynasty. However, by the end of Season 8, Daenerys ends up decimating the civilians of King's Landing, even after the city surrenders, putting her firmly in God Save Us from the Queen! territory. When Daenerys' lust for power wins out over her positive traits, she resolves to do this all over the world and conquer it with fire and blood — placing herself as the sole power — and she herself becomes the wheel she wanted to break. Margaery Tyrell projects the image of a kind, benevolent ruler when she is married first to Renly Baratheon, later when betrothed to King Joffrey and then when she marries Joffrey's brother King Tommen after Joffrey's death. She ingratiates herself with the smallfolk, takes an interest in charity, and helps the poor, especially orphaned children. |

For The Elder Scrolls Online, Queen Ayrenn, queen of the High Elves and founder of the first Aldmeri Dominion. She does not possess any of the extreme Fantastic Racism that many of her predecessors (or future successors) cling to, viewing her Wood Elf and Khajiit allies as well as her underlings as valued partners and equals, and while she is opposed to a human-dominated Tamriel, she would ultimately prefer peace and co-existence with humanity over conflict. | |

Queen Clarion in They're Not Pussywillow Pixies. She not only willingly takes in the Smurfs, but she is more than happy to help them settle in. She also tries rather hard to keep them from getting startled or scared by her and her people. | |

In Drowtales, Sharess, legendary dokkalfar queen, and patron goddess to the drowolath and drowussu people, is regarded as having been this by those who still revere her. According to the legend, besieged by Shapeshifting, body snatching Eldritch Abominations, she willingly sacrificed her (earthly) life to give her people a fighting chance of survival in exile. | |

Warhammer Alarielle the Radiant, Everqueen of Avelorn and one of the two co-rulers of High Elf Kingdoms of Ulthuan. She fits the trope perfectly, especially the magically majestic end (she is also a living vessel of the Elven mother goddess Isha). A slightly more rustic and earth-motherly version is found in Ariel, Mage-Queen of Loren, her Wood Elf counterpart. Khalida is the High Queen of the city-state of Lybaras. While her beauty has somewhat abandoned her after over 3,000 years of being dead, she is still every bit the noble and well-intentioned ruler she was while alive as long as her Berserk Button (mostly involving vampires, and spitting on her authority) aren't pressed. While strictly speaking she is subordinate to The High King of Nehekhara, Settra, the city-states of Nehekhara have enough autonomy that Settra can only really override her authority on matters that involve the Tomb Kings entire; on matters within Lybaras' borders she rules unopposed. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Equestria is ruled by two godlike Winged Unicorns fitting the trope, if not by actual title due to executives believing that princesses must be good and young girls might otherwise cry "God Save Us from the Queen!." Princess Celestia is swanlike, slender, graceful, wise, perpetually calm and kindly, and easily twice as tall as any other pony around. She still manages to be rather down-to-earth and mischievous as well, but it doesn't stop her from regally dominating any scene she walks in on. Princess Luna is younger and less poised, but still fits in her own way. The evolution of the trope is explored in "Luna Eclipsed". Post-Heel–Face Turn Princess Luna fits the trope as it was before she was sealed a thousand years ago, although she also shows some of the uncertainty of youth. As a result, she comes across as intimidating and unfriendly due to expectations of how a high queen should act having changed in the interim. HER USE OF THE "ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE" ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE. (Power Echoes.) As a steward of the night, she also seems to prefer motifs usually associated with Obviously Evil rulers, further freaking everyone out: She wears a hooded cloak made of living bats and her guards (unlike her sister's) look positively demonic, for instance. However, by Season 3, Luna has grown into the role beautifully, having become a welcome guardian of her subjects' dreams. Princess Cadance is this to the Crystal Empire, being The Paragon who protected them from King Sombra long enough for the Crystal Heart to be recovered and then rallied them to use it and free themselves from his tyranny forever. She's also the most willing out of any of the leaders to leap headfirst into danger (or be thrown in if she's too weak to fly under her own power) if anyone messes with her loved ones or her subjects. As of the series finale, Twilight Sparkle has grown into this, the new ruler of Equestria after Luna and Celestia retire. Right down to the height and flowing, sparkly mane. |

The White Queen from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (2010). Her sister (who is the opposite) laments that she can make anything fall in love with her — even the furniture. Word of God says that part of this is a ruse and that she surrounds herself with bright imagery because she's too tempted by the dark side. | |

In World Neverland, each kingdom starts with either a High Queen or a Good King who is kind, just, and fair. These queens roam the kingdom and will happily stop to chat with any of their citizens, and will become good friends with you if you talk with them enough. It's possible for the player to become Queen themselves, but they may not be so nice. | |

Bluestar from Warrior Cats is treated this way, though Clans have no monarchy so she is officially just their leader. She is a regal blue-furred cat with Icy Blue Eyes who leads ThunderClan with wisdom and dignity. She is a Broken Bird but that doesn't stop her from being the Big Good. That is, until Tigerclaw's betrayal causes her to undergo a Sanity Slippage. | |

The Bridge: Princess Celestia and the maturing Princess Cadance, naturally fit this for their respective domains in Equestria. Wise, strong in morality and in power in general, and beloved by the populace whom they consider themselves the protectors of. While not incapable of making mistakes, they will own up to it. Princess Luna, due to being out of the loop for 1,000 years, is growing into the role and learning to control her temper and not hide her own pains, lest she cause other pain by proxy. Mothra Lea fits the bill by virtue of being co-leaders with Godzilla Junior, is the matriarch of most Terran kaiju and leadership figure of the Terra Defender faction. Helping direct the less socially capable transferred kaiju, she follows Celestia's example publically by using her new changeling powers to look like an alicorn so she fits the Equestrian ideal of this trope more. |

The previous Serenity was the ruler of the Moon Kingdom during the Silver Millennium and was greatly admired for her beauty and wisdom. Her daughter, the heroine Sailor Moon, will eventually become Neo-Queen Serenity and mature into a similarly elegant and beloved Queen. From their glimpse into the future, she will eventually become the ruler of Earth and lead humanity in creating a Utopia. | |
