Politically-Active Princess: Difference between revisions

* Euphemia li Britannia from ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' offers her own way to solve the problem with the [[La Résistance|Japanese]] peacefully. Lelouch even says she has won everything in a single move. At least until {{spoiler|[[Diabolus Ex Machina|Lelouch's permanently active Geass]] forces her to go on a massacre...}}

* Marina Ismail from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', although she's not very good at it. While phrased as a compliment, her closest adviser tells her outright that she's far better at charitable work and being a good will ambassador than she is at politics and ruling.

* Princess Leia Organa from ''[[StarA WarsNew (Film)Hope|Star Wars]]'' is a senator (until Palpatine disbands the Senate) and then an important member of the rebellion.

* In the ''[[Firebird Trilogy (Literature)|Firebird Trilogy]]'', Princess [[Manipulative Bastard|Phoena Angelo]] of Netaia is very politically active. After [[The Federation|the Federacy]] takes over Netaia, she heads the resistance group and spearheads research into a biological [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] capable of wiping out an entire planet, which she intends to use to threaten the Federacy into withdrawing. She contrasts with her [[Princess Classic]] older sister, Carradee, and her [[Badass Princess]] younger sister, Firebird.

* In ''[[The Seven Realms Series (Literature)|The Seven Realms Series]]'', Princess Raisa invokes this trope with the Briar Rose Ministry, a charity she founded and funds.

* Lady Morgana from ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' (who is a princess in every other respect) spends the first season of the show constantly arguing with Uther about his treatment of those with magical abilities.

* Ashe of ''[[Final Fantasy XII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy XII]]'' tries to reclaim her kingdom by bargaining with [[The Empire]] and other factions for most of the game. Although she's a [[Badass Princess]] and would rather fight against the Archadian Empire, she slowly understands that to achieve peace, she needs to take the diplomatic route.

* Princess Natalia from ''[[Tales of the Abyss (Video Game)|Tales of the Abyss]]'', despite her initial brattiness, is very much one of these. Luke even refers to her as a "wannabe queen" at one point. She mainly uses her influence for the benefit of her people or engaging in international diplomacy, to the point where she's already almost universally considered a much better ruler than her father, the king. The people in fact, are so fond of her that they {{spoiler|choose to protect her even after her lineage is revealed, even though she is not a real member of the royal family.}}

* Most of the female cast of ''[[Drowtales (Webcomic)|Drowtales]]'' counts, since their society is a [[Matriarchy]], so it's expected. Zala'ess Vel'Sharen is probably the best example, since she's the politician among her three sisters. And because Queen Diva is quite reclusive, all of her daughters perform most of her duties. In fact, {{spoiler|the older sisters convinced Zala to help them imprison their mother in a secret coup.}}

* [[Genki Girl|Feferi]], Empress-to-be of the [[Our Trolls Are Different|Trolls]] in Homestuck, has big plans for social reform, although [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]] understandably forced her to give up those plans.
