Rebellious Princess

Basic Information

Being a princess is so boring! You sit around a palace all day and they make you wear ridiculous dresses and attend tiresome court functions and they never let you do anything exciting and you know that eventually they'll force you into an arranged marriage with some elderly viscount or something. No, you are a Rebellious Princess, and you want adventure!

The Rebellious Princess is usually an adolescent, because that's what adolescent girls are; and frequently becomes a love interest for the Hero. She will either run off with a Dashing Adventurer, or sneak off to have adventures of her own.

Game and Story Use

• Rebellious Princess is a possible background for a PC Action Girl.
  • She might grow up into a Lady of War.
  • Princess Leia was a princess who was a rebel, not necessarily a Rebellious Princess. Just making that clear.
• The Rebellious Princess has possibilities as an NPC.
  • She can be a romantic interest for one of the PC's; perhaps running away from her palace to join the party.
    • Don't think her family's going to like that.
  • Or perhaps she has run off with some other disreputable type, and her family hires the party to get her back.
    • Why does she have to be in love with anybody? Maybe she just wants to hack up orcs/become an international jewel thief/work as an exotic dancer. A girl has ambitions, you know.
    • The point is, that she's supposed to marry Prince Ughthwart next week and if the party doesn't get her to the chapel in time, then Heads Will Roll!
