The royal family is the most powerful in all of the realm. Though the king may be tasked with running the kingdom the way he sees fit, the other members of the family play a meaningful role that affects it in their own fashion. Nowhere is this more evident when it comes to that of the fantasy princess, who is generally counted as one of the prettiest women in the kingdom.
Underneath her great beauty is a woman who has a gentle heart. A woman who goes out of her way to comfort people in their times of need. Much like her mother who works to enhance the royal family’s standing in the community, the princess aspires to be a positive force, a stellar role model for all the girls in the country. She works overtime to be the perfect role model for them.
However, the fantasy princess is not to be taken lightly or trifled with. She has a fierce streak inside her and she won’t hesitate to use it to correct wrongs. In some cases, that fierceness masks a woman who has a burning desire to change the world and for the better and she is not above using her position to try to make it happen.
When it comes to the world stage, the princess is the belle of the ball. She always has suitors willing to spend time with her, seeking to use their friendship with her in order to curry favor with her father the king. The princess isn’t just a pretty face; she uses this to her advantage to try to extract things from them either for herself or for the royal family that she couldn’t obtain any other way.

In numerous works across all media, the princess is depicted as a young woman of great beauty. She inherits most of her looks from her mother which she uses in her quest to become queen. This is quite fitting, considering that the goal of the average princess is to be a queen of either the realm she calls home or another kingdom.
The queen teaches her daughter everything there is to know about being a princess, from poise to wearing the right outfit for the occasion. She does so knowing she has a gentle heart and she wants her to be with someone who deserves everything she has to offer which is usually either a prince from another land or the son of a powerful noble in the realm.
When she isn’t with her mother, the fantasy princess wants to be a force of good for the world. She comforts people, assuring them that everything will work out and that they just need to keep the faith. Sometimes she will hold them if they are crying or help a wounded animal get the help it desperately needs.
Aware that many girls idolize her due to her position in the kingdom, the princess endeavors to be a good role model for them to emulate. She does things that are befitting of a princess, not things that would diminish it. She treats everyone with kindness and a dollop of cheerfulness and performs acts of charity for the downtrodden that helps them feel better about themselves.
The fantasy princess does all these things not just because she feels like she ought to. She does them because she wants to help make the world a better place and being a positive force will help to offset the chaos unfolding in the world.
Even though the princess is an altruistic person, she is not wholly of pure heart. There is one important facet of her personality that she works to keep in check at all times and that would be her fierce temper. She does a great job in maintaining a cool, collected composure most of the time but every once in a while, something will happen that will trigger it.
The fantasy princess wants to make the world better and whenever she sees a wrong or travesty unfolding before her own eyes, that fierceness will surface. In some cases, the princess will take the initiative to try to enact change before she involves the king, believing she can do so successfully without having to bring him in.
Whenever her attempt(s) fail, she has no choice but to involve her father. She will use her influence with him in an attempt to right the injustice and most of the time, she’ll get her way. But there’ll be a time where she won’t and that will only fuel the simmering fire within her to do something about it.
Sometimes that fierce temper can be her undoing since it can push her to make decisions that she otherwise wouldn’t. For instance, she can take it upon herself to do something drastic that she knows is right in her heart though it will displease the king. Nevertheless, she’ll still go ahead and do it anyway and ask for his forgiveness later.
The thing of the fantasy princess is, she sees things in black-and-white terms. There is no middle which makes her all the more determined to do everything in her power to right a wrong. Her moralistic outlook is indicative of the fact that she has a fervent desire to change the world for the better.
Besides the king, the princess is one of the most popular people on the world stage. Her great beauty is a magnet for all single princes and powerful nobles, prompting them to want to spend time with her. Little do they know that underneath her pretty appearance lies a woman who possesses an ambition to make the world a better place.
As the belle of the ball, the fantasy princess draws the eye of many suitors, the majority of which seek to get close to her with the singular purpose of leveraging said friendship to win an audience with the king. The princess is no fool, she knows that’s what many of them are attempting to do and she uses it to her advantage cheerfully.
Her appearance at the events she shows up in is by design, from either one of her parents or herself. When she arrives at an event whether it be a social function like a gala or diplomatic event such as a summit, she comes with a set of goals to achieve and she intends to mark off as many as she feasibly can.
These goals mostly consist of interacting with different princes and other foreign dignitaries to see who’s likely to become future leaders of their countries. The king is usually willing to do business with all kinds of people and he’d like to at least establish a positive relationship with a future leader which he does via his daughter.
Other goals the fantasy princess pursue include trying to use her friendship with her suitors as leverage in which to extract something either she wants or what her father wants that they can’t get any other way. She’s been trained by her mother to know when to push and when to pull back as to not risk damaging the friendships she’s cultivated with all these people.
The fantasy princess, though she is one of the prettiest women in all of the realm, is more than just a gorgeous face. She possesses a kindness rarely seen in the world and she goes out of her way to help people. Everyone who she interacts with usually leaves with a smile on their face and a belief that just maybe the world can indeed become better than it is at the present.
Due to her royal position, the princess is a role model for all the girls in the kingdom. She then endeavors to be a positive one, one they can all look up to and emulate in terms of behavior. By doing good deeds in the world, she hopes will spur more people to do the same, helping to at least make it a little better.
The princess is serious about wanting to making the world better and should the need arise, she’ll use her fierce temper to help her make it happen. Though she knows it isn’t necessarily ladylike, sometimes she has no other choice but to be fierce. However, she has to not let that temper lead her astray lest it cause her a problem she may have difficulties fixing.
On the world stage, the princess receives outsized attention, especially from all the single princes and foreign dignitaries. She socializes with them in various ways such as conversing or dancing with them. She knows such attention is meant to curry favor with her father and she cheerfully uses it to her advantage to get what she wants, or what the king wants.
The fantasy princess is interesting in that she is a woman who isn’t just a pretty face. Inside her simmers the desire to change the world for the better and she’ll do everything she can in order to make it happen. Bringing a character like this into your story is a great way to highlight how someone in her position can indeed be a positive force for the world.
