* Nadja Applefield from ''AshitanoNadja'' is a big case of Sleeping Beauty. Nadja was raised in an English OrphanageOfLove and always believed her parents died of iillness; when she's about to turn 13 and leave, however, she's sent a trunk with her mom's ''very'' fine belongings and a card that says her mother is actually alive, so she sets out to find said mom and her place in the world. What Nadja does ''not'' know is that said mother is [[spoiler: a member of an ''extremely'' rich and noble clan in Austria... and that many people want Nadja out of the way since she's the biggest candidate to be the heiress of said clan. Even when the poor little girl doesn't care about the riches and only wants to find her beloved mother.]]
* From ''FushigiYuugi'', we have You Houki. She was a [[CountryMouse poor farm girl]], taking care of her ailing father, when she was asked to join the emperor's harem (much to the ire of her former boyfriend Suu, later revealed to be [[spoiler: Hotohori's half-brother]]). Originally, she didn't want to go, but her father pressured her saying she'd have a better life. [[spoiler: And Hotohori eventually chooses her to be his Empress.]]

Even when she only wants to find her beloved mother.]] From the moment Nadja finds out and leaves her OrphanageOfLove to work with the Dandelion Troupe, she goes from Sleeping Beauty to Snow White: one of her goals is learning more about her mother and her biological family, as well as meeting up with her.

[[spoiler: Hotohori eventually chooses her to be his Empress Consort, and after he dies, she becomes a kind Empress Dowager who supports their son and future Emperor.]]

** The second is a young girl living in a secluded forest, who was always told to not leave the tiny village, but didn't know ''why'' she should be in complete isolation. [[spoiler: As she is Cigyun's daughter, Diadora has minor Lopto blood too ''and'' from her dad's side she is the long lost crown princess of Grandbell with major Narga heritage, but her caretakers refuse to tell her the truth. She leaves the Forest too and marries Sigurd, living happily with him (and having Seliph) until MagnificentBastard Manfloy kidnaps and brainwashes her... to become her half-brother Alvis's wife. And yep, their incestuous child Yurius ''does'' become the vessel for Lopto, and kills Diadora once possessed. Good thing Diadora manages to spirit her and Alvis's ''other'' incestuous child, Yuria, and she ultimately joins her half-brother Seliph's rebellious group.]]
** Also, [[spoiler: Diadora's eldest son]] Seliph and his friends aka the kids of the first generation characters belong to different cathegories, depending on their backstories. They're most commonly Snow Whites (Seliph, Leaf, Oifaye, Shannan, Lester and Lana, Skasaha and Lakche, Patty, Aless, Arthur/Amid, maybe Altenna, Phee and Sety, Delmud and Nanna), but we also have some Sleeping Beauties (Leen and Corpul) and Goose Girls/Guys (Faval, Teeny/Linda). [[spoiler: Additionally, Levin is a subversion: he ''is'' the King of Silesia and should be in the throne, but he rejects his heritage (to the point that he gets pissed off when Seliph calls him "King") and prefers to be the TeamDad for Seliph's group so he can fight for the freedom of the empire. ('Sides, if he DOES have kids with Holsety blood, the son will be crowned at the end of the game.)]] Oh, and [[spoiler: the aforementioned Diadora's daughter/Seliph's half-sister Yuria]] is a Snow White, [[spoiler: amnesiac and away from her noble family - thus unable to recall that she's the Imperial Princess of Grandbell and the current holder of the Narga major blood.]]

Pelleas, a poor orphan who got the the power of charming spirits, suddenly found himself the lost prince of Daein and became king - but it turned out to be a mistake, and he wasn't royal at all - and, in his case, being thought of as the Prince ''[[BreakTheCutie completely destroyed his life]]'' [[KillTheCutie and caused his death]]. (Unless you gather the requirements to recruit him into your group, that is.) Soren, the true prince, never learned of his heritage and remained a commoner. Considering how things went with Pelleas (and [[ArchnemesisDad who his birth father is]]), then it was ''much'' better he remained this way.]]

** And in the manga, ''all'' the main senshi are Sleeping Beauties, former princesses of their respective planets. (Except Pluto. She is probably closer to a Snow White since she never lost her memories of the Silver Millennium, and spent her time guarding the Door of Time)
** Chibiusa is a Snow White type, coming back in time to before her mother rose to power to receive Senshi training and having to live like a civilian with Usagi and her family. Subverted in the sense that the Senshi already know she's a princess. [[spoiler: After all, she's Mamoru and Usagi's future daughter.]]
* There's a reasonably clever subversion in ''{{Mai-Otome}}''. From the start we're expected to figure out that Mashiro isn't the real princess - meanwhile, the main character, Arika, conspicuously has the same birthday and a [[OrphansPlotTrinket prerequisite necklace]] and all. But as it turns out, that's a RedHerring, and in fact, it's Nina, the RivalTurnedEvil, who unbeknowst to all was the princess. The scene in which BigBad Nagi finds out is ''priceless''. Ultimately thanks to CharacterDevelopment, Mashiro turns out to be the one best suited to be a princess anyway. [[spoiler: MaiOtomeZwei hints that Mashiro might be a legit heir after all-she ''greatly'' resembles the Queen of Windbloom from 300 years ago.]]
