Ambiguously Brown | |
Rejected Princesses (Website) / int_2207b002 | comment |
Ambiguously Brown: If the historical woman's ethnicity was something of a question mark Jason will often draw them this way, for instance Tomyris and Tirgatao since it's not known what exactly "Scythians" looked like. Philipa of Hainault is also portrayed with an ambiguous skin tone as there's debate as to what her ethnicity was with the only specifics that have survived in the record being that she was "brown-skinned all over". Similarly, Zelia Nuttall was known to have an Irish father but the exact ethnicity of her mother is uncertain though she was at least born in Mexico. And Zenobia is variously claimed to have been Jewish, Arab and a whole host of other ethnicities. | |

Bald Mystic: Masako Hojo is depicted as this since she eventually became a Buddhist nun. Jason admits that the illustration is mixing her history a bit since she wasn't yet a nun at the time of the incident where she flattened Lady Kame's house after she found out her husband was cheating on her with the other woman, but he wanted to show her as bald. | |

Virgin Power | |
Rejected Princesses (Website) / int_3d1fbeb3 | comment |
Virgin Power: Brought up in regards to the "super chastity" claims made about several Princesses, especially how Catalina de Erauso pretty much used this as a "Get Out of Jail Free" Card and got her a special dispensation from the Pope allowing her to crossdress, and Zenobia's powers being attributed to her only having sex to conceive a child. (Zenobia is drawn rolling with laughter in the section of the comic that mentions that particular detail.) | |

Ambiguous Gender Identity: While Jason has specifically decided not to cover any trans men, he mentions that Catalina de Erauso's gender identity to a modern audience is hard to nail down, since Erauso's own autobiography regularly switched from male to female indicators. | |

Rule of Symbolism: Many of the illustrations will employ this, with one of the best being Rosalind Franklin's entry showing her working in the dark while Watson and Crick are shown receiving the Nobel Prize; the spotlights cause the two men's shadows to box Franklin in, with the shadow of Watson's hand falling over her work as though reaching to take it. | |

She Who Fights Monsters: Vitka Kempner and the other members of Ha-Nokmim ("The Avengers"), a jewish resistance group during WW2, became steadily more merciless as the war went on, murdering civilians on sight out of fear that they might report them to the Nazis. After the war, they reformed into Nakam, "Revenge", who plotted to poison the waterworks of major German cities, killing 6 million Germans, including children and those with no affiliation to the Nazi regime. Thankfully, both that plan and their backup plan (poisoning German POWs) failed. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Jason will often point out that a historical woman's morality by modern standards may differ significantly from what's considered acceptable today. Catalina de Erauso, for instance, is described as "gleefully amoral" by modern standards, and Sophie Morigeau's attitude towards the First Nations people she lived near are difficult to decipher. | |

Anti-Role Model | |
Rejected Princesses (Website) / int_e7cd994c | comment |
Anti-Role Model: The idea for the website came about when Porath and some fellow Dreamworks employees saw a clickbait article about "Why Elsa and Anna are bad role models for girls", decided that they could think of way worse role models for girls, and challenged each other to see who could think of the worst one. (The winner? Lolita.) | |

Stripping Snag: Zelia Nuttall's entry mentions how when two young men came to visit this happened to her and without missing a beat she continued introductions. In the illustration a maid can be seen frantically running off with the torn dress in the background. | |

Dwindling Party: Illustrated in Isabel Godin's entry, where her group of 42 people she took with her across Peru gradually dwindles down to just herself. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
Rejected Princesses (Website) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Several Princesses appear in each other's stories before their own entry was put online, such as Christine de Pizan appearing in Zenobia's entry before debuting in the book version and Zenobia herself being mentioned in Hester Stanhope's entry. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
Rejected Princesses (Website) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Ani Pachen, so much. She had to take command of her clan in wartime, struggling to maintain her buddhist ideals of non-violence. She was imprisoned and tortured for most of her life, never saw her parents again and often gave up her own food to her fellow prisoners. All the while she remained faithful to her buddhist beliefs, refusing to kill even the lice in her hair and imagining that her great enemy Mao sat before her so she could forgive him. "And after a lifetime of dreams deferred, [Ani Pachen] met the Dalai Lama." | |
