History Main / TomBoyPrincess

* The princess of [[TheKingdom Orb]] Cagalli in ''GundamSEED'' is both tomboyish and rebellious.

* Maria Louise from GGundam.

* Several Medieval European Noblewomen had this characteristic to some degree. Someone had to take care of the castle while all the knights were busy killing each other, including its armed defense when necessary. At least one Arab visitor commented on how forward Western women were.

* Also by LloydAlexander, Mickle/Theodora from the Westmark Trilogy.

** Princess Peach can be a bit of a tomboy sometimes too.

** Not just in Wind Waker either; she's arguably a mild tomboy in other installments too. TheLegendOfZeldaCdiGames come to mind.

* In the film version of Film/TheLordOfTheRings, Arwen shows shades of this, as it is her that rides to meet the Fellowship and bring them to Rivendell. In the books however she shows no such ActionGirl penchant, an Elf Lord called Glorfindel does the escorting.

* Similarly, {{Pocahontas}}.

Note: This is NOT RebelliousPrincess, although the two tropes often overlap. RebelliousPrincess can be a ValleyGirl, which is the complete opposite of this. If your princess is also an ActionGirl, then there are very good chances she might be this.

* Nala from TheLionKing is probably one of the best Disney-related examples, as is easily apparent when she play-wrestles with Simba on her way to an elephant graveyard with him. That far into the movie, they're just friends (and they don't take seriously the idea that they'd grow up to be more than friends) and you could almost forget they're opposite genders if not for the voices. TheLionKing has its protagonist and princess more similar to each other than arguably most [[DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney movies]] do. Well, early on in the movie anyway. [[spoiler:(Obviously things change after the stampede scene, but more so for Simba than for Nala. After Simba returns, Nala says to Simba some of the exact same things Simba said earlier on.)]]

* Princess Kida from ''AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', which seems to be part and parcel of her being TheChiefsDaughter.

* Aravis from ''[[TheChroniclesOfNarnia The Horse and His Boy]]'' upgrades from a Tomboy Noblewoman to a TomboyPrincess when she [[spoiler: marries Cor]].
**From the same series, Lucy is a Tomboy ''Queen'' [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl in contrast]] to her LadyOfWar older sister Susan.

*Kumatora from ''MOTHER3'' is one, although [[spoiler: she isn't really a princess; that's just a title.]]
*Tsarevna Alena of Zamoksva in ''DragonQuestIV''. She is also a RebelliousPrincess.
*Princess Zelda is one in ''TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', [[spoiler: because she is the alter ego of Tetra.]]
**Not just in Wind Waker either; she's arguably a mild tomboy in other installments too. TheLegendOfZeldaCdiGames come to mind.
*Faris from ''FinalFantasyV''. This is because she spent the latter part of her childhood among pirates.
*Daisy of the ''[[SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' series provides the page image, and is described as a tomboy within the series.

**[[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=287 Vaelia is initially introduced as having been this in the past]].
**TheLibby and her FiveManBand [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=414 are all arguably this]] - each is a daughter, grandaughter, or sister of an Ilharess (clan matriarch), as is TokenMinority / KnightTemplar [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=1121 Chiri]] and TheProtagonist, LonelyRichKid [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?id=1122 Lady Ariel]].

* [[StarWars Princess Leia Organa]] of course, volunteers for commando missions. This is a trait she shares with her biological mother Queen Amydala.

It's a {{Tomboy}} [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses princess]]. Self-explanatory, really.
