Badass Princess: Difference between revisions

*** In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Peach is captured, but far from helpless, sneaking out and learning things that can help Mario on his quest. In the latter, {{spoiler|she actually steps into the battlefield as a victim of the Shadow Queen's [[Demonic Possession]].}}

*** In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Peach outright refuses to be the damsel in distress this time and joins you as the second hero, even if you [[But Thou Must!|insist she doesn't]].

** While Daisy rarely gets to play the hero outside of Super Smash Bros, many fans have theorized that she is even more badass than Peach, and possibly a ''much'' more competent monarch. After all, [[Super Mario Land|she has only been kidnapped ''once'']] and Tatanga has yet to attempt a second invasion of Sarasaland.

* Princess Monica Raybrandt of ''[[Dark Cloud]] 2''. Not only is she the one who shanghais [[Kid Hero|Max]] into the adventure, but she's actually the one who performs his [[Secret Test of Character]], comes to his aid more than once, spearheads the [[La Résistance|counterattack against]] [[Big Bad|Emperor Griffon]] across two eras, is an accomplished and surprisingly agile [[Magic Knight]] with a variety of [[BFS|swords as big as she is]] and elemental magic, leaps headfirst into [[It's Personal|personal duels]] with [[The Dragon]], and {{spoiler|is willing to break her own period's time-travel laws just to help out Max in his [[Bonus Dungeon|post-game quest]]}}. Even the one time she's in distress, it's because Max himself accidentally shot down the enemy airship while she was still on board.
