=== The Bright Lady ===
The Bright Lady is a woman of rank, often a [[The High Queen|Queen]], [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses|Princess]], other nobility or of [[The Ojou|otherwise high rank.]] Occasionally she will be a maiden of low rank, having significant beauty, kindness and grace whom the Knight has found admirable and worthy of his service. To the Knight she is a force of goodness and a vision of [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]], at least by the end. Sometimes she grows into this over time, at first being [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!|haughty and prideful]], indistinguishable from any other stuffy lady of rank, but eventually her inner goodness and worth is revealed. She listens and respects her Knight's opinions and will often defer to him, if he is more knowledgeable about something, or proves to be correct in something she had previously disagreed with. Very often there is a [[Bodyguard Crush]] involved.
 
The Bright Lady's power usually [[The Social Expert|lies in arenas]] [[The Heart|outside of physical combat]], for which she must rely upon her Knight for protection. In a fantasy work [[Sword and Sorcery|she may have magic]] (often not strong or recently discovered) which allows her to fight if necessary, or provide support or healing during and after one, but in non-magic universes she will be a [[Non-Action Guy]], though this is [[Lady of War|increasingly subverted]]. Just as likely she is [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]] who must [[Guile Hero|use her wits]] to survive in the cut-throat court politics going on around her. If she has a goal, other than escaping some evil lord who wants her dead, it's often recovering her title or noble position.
