** [[ComicBook/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] of the ''Franchise/XMen'' spent part of her childhood and adolescence as a Jungle Princess; when her weather powers activated, she was also worshiped as a [[LikeAGodToMe literal goddess]].

* In Maelstrom Media's ''ComicBook/{{Prymal}}'', the titular heroine is princess of the lost kingdom of Atlantea, hidden somewhere near the Rio Negro in Brazil. She spends much of her time trying to protect the jungle from looters.

* ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'': Ursula Stanhope.

Even though she is usually an EarthyBarefootCharacter, she normally has no superpowers apart from talking to animals. ElementalPowers and GreenThumb are very rare for this character. Of course RuleOFCool usually demands that she have insane physical strength, even compared to men in the story. Of course this usually comes of as borderline MarySue as she is usually shown BreakingTheBonds almost immediately when captured and easily besting her enemies in most situations. It is rare for her to have realistic weaknesses as a female and compensate with her wit.

The DistaffCounterpart of [[TarzanBoy Tarzan of the Apes]], this is a young woman of European extraction who has been raised in a [[DarkestAfrica jungle environment]], usually [[RaisedByWolves by animals]]. Despite her upbringing, though, she has managed to grasp the basic rudiments of [[HulkSpeak English]], tools, and fashion -- she is frequently seen wearing fetching leather or {{Fur Bikini}}s that [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine show off her toned midriff]] and wielding a spear. She is far more likely to have neat hair than WildHair, and her legs and armpits will be inexplicably hairless. She almost always Barefoot usually as an EarthyBarefootCharacter. She will very rarely be [[TheOneWhoWearsShoes depicted in primitive shoes]] like sandals or moccasins sometimes compared to the natives who still go barefoot.

For some unfathomable reason, the [[FriendToAllLivingThings animals of the jungle obey her slavishly]] instead of viewing her as lunch, and the woefully benighted HollywoodNatives treat her as a goddess. If the Jungle Princess is particularly naive, she'll buy into that belief. Even if she's not particularly naive and although she may well possess some fearsomely strong instincts and drives toward it, her isolation from humans has left her with no concept whatsoever of romance.

She is also likely to be a barefoot bikini clad version of a KnightErrant. That is if she is not no more than a helpless DamselInDistress, who frequently ends up BoundAndGagged after being CapturedByCannibals, or LockedUpAndLeftBehind by the EvilPoacher as she waits for the LoinCloth wearing TarzanBoy to rescue her. Most likely, the roles will be switched and involve a DistressedDude she has to rescue, if the Jungle Princess is the star.

* Jungle Woman in Wrestling/{{GLOW}}, apparently from some part of South America, typically teamed with the very urban Spanish Red. In Wrestling/{{WOW|WomenOfWrestling}} she had an {{expy}} in Jungle Grrrl apparently from Mexico. She blended into urban civilization very quickly but still came to the ring [[DoesNotLikeShoes barefoot]] and smeared with dirt.

It’s very important to remember that this trope came from a very different era, in which false ideas that natives had no standards in regards to procreation or modesty. Most authors seem to stop at the FurBikini and NubileSavage, without any regard or RealLife or the RuleOfCool and call it a day. Not only is Fanservice common, but the JunglePrincess is also frequently portrayed as available to any explorer who is interested and she rarely has a personally beyond the NobleSavage.

Not only does these portrayals cheapen the character, but it can detract from real tropical countries where women are frequently victims of HumanTraffickers. So if one uses this trope for modern readers, it’s very important to characterize as well as make a real effort to avoid AuthorAppeal.

* Weda from ''Anime/HareGuu'', has this appearance but the Jungle society she lives is fairly [[SchizoTech civilized]] and not totally disconnected from the Outside world (there are still buses to the city, for example). She can hunt however and does wear a FurBikini. [[spoiler:In her backstory, it's revealed that she actually comes from a rich family in the city and moved to the Jungle at age 14 due to getting kicked out of her family for getting pregnant]].
