17	->''"The movie is more generous in showing what the visitors found here. Columbus encounters friendly Indians, of which one -- the chief's daughter -- is positioned, bare-breasted, in the center of every composition. (I believe the chief's daughter is chosen by cup size.)"''
18	-->-- '''Creator/RogerEbert''' reviewing ''Christopher Columbus: The Discovery''
19
20	Even in DarkestAfrica, InjunCountry, or the land of HulaAndLuaus, [[GratuitousPrincess everything's better with princesses]]. The Chief's daughter, in her FurBikini or BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins, is often the first to befriend MightyWhitey during his visit to the strange new land. She'll conveniently be [[NubileSavage beautiful by Western standards]], but with just enough racial traits to be exotic, and will be a NobleSavage in contrast to the amoral BarbarianTribe of HollywoodNatives. To show that she is native, gentle, and CloserToEarth, the wild forest animals [[FriendToAllLivingThings will flock to her]].
21
22	Many of a story would have the Chief offer the hero his daughter's hand in marriage, but this is often unnecessary. Just like [[MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow Asian women in fiction]], she'll be irresistibly drawn to the (usually white) hero, to the point that other suitors within her tribe might as well not even bother. Sometimes this trope can be played for laughs by having the girl be ForbiddenFruit to the hero, so when it's found out that he's been getting a little too friendly with her, the rest of her tribe ('''[[UnstoppableRage especially]]''' [[BoyfriendBlockingDad Daddy]]) will be less than pleased and [[ChasedByAngryNatives go for the spears]]. She'll often be a part of a LoveTriangle involving the MightyWhitey and TheNativeRival. If the hero is GoingNative, they'll be FireForgedFriends fighting the invading EvilColonialist HumanTraffickers.
23
24	Half the time, she'll be a DamselInDistress. At best, she'll be able to [[ActionGirl kick some ass]] with a spear or bow and arrow, or magic if the setting allows for it. At worst, she'll be a mere bargaining chip and/or SatelliteLoveInterest. This trope is less commonly played straight in these days of better cultural sensitivity, but may still pop up in some historical works.
25
26	A quick Google search identifies the term "Indian Princess" has entered the pop-cultural consciousness, although [[RoyalMess this is inaccurate]]. Most tribal cultures did not have hereditary [[RoyalBlood royalty]] (their leaders are elected instead, like mayors and presidents. The few that are hereditary often are transferred not by the chief's line, but to his eldest sister's children as lineage is only tracked through the mother). Nonetheless, [[GratuitousPrincess the Chief's daughter fills the same archetypal niche as a European princess]], so the phrase is occasionally used as a comparison.
27
28	Not to be confused with the usually-white JunglePrincess, who is essentially a female Franchise/{{Tarzan}}. Compare IndianMaiden. See also GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, BoldlyComing and especially AlienPrincess for the far-future equivalent. Subtrope of TheOutsiderBefriendsTheBest.

34
35	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
36	* In ''Manga/DrStone'', Ruri and Kohaku are the daughters of Kokuyo, chief of Ishigami Village. Ruri, being the eldest daughter, is the village priestess (as her mother was before her; the chief is the man who wins the priestess's hand in marriage), but Kohaku's parentage gives her no special position or privileges.
37	* Sango from ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' is a sole surviving YamatoNadeshiko, and the older sister of Kohaku, whose father the chieftain of the yōkai taijiya village was killed in massacre by Naraku's hand. She has been trained to be a demon slayer among her family.
38	** There is also Hana, Getsu and Yuki, the three daughters of the chief of the Hijiri village.
39	* ''[[Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic Magi: Adventure of Sinbad]]'' features Rurumu, the daughter of Chief Rametoto of the Imuchakk tribe, who Hinahoho has [[Main/ChildhoodFriendRomance always loved since childhood]]. Her [[Main/AmazonianBeauty strong build and height]] were almost matched with Hinahoho's.
40	* In ''Anime/RocketGirls'', Matsuri is the first native to greet Yukari (since Matsuri speaks Japanese, unlike the rest of the Tariho tribe). Also subverted in that [[spoiler:Yukari is actually also the chief's daughter, though by a different wife]].
41	* In the ''Anime/StarWarsVisions'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsVisionsTheVillageBride The Village Bride]]", Haru is the granddaughter of the chief of Meevai village. She and her fiancé Asu intend to surrender to the bandit raiders who have taken her tribe captive, while Haru's sister Saku plans to fight the bandits.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Comic Books]]
45	* In ''Recap/AsterixAndTheGreatCrossing'', the Indian chief's daughter is rather unattractive and pudgy, and her Main/ArrangedMarriage causes Obelix to persuade Asterix to flee.
46	** In the Main/AnimatedAdaptation ''WesternAnimation/AsterixConquersAmerica'', there is a beautiful Main/IndianMaiden who is saved by Obelix from the [[Main/AnimalStampede buffalo stampede]].
47	* The ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' {{Pirate}}s {{Elseworld}} ''Leatherwing'', had Captain Leatherwing rescue a South American chief's daughter from slavers, only to end up with an AccidentalMarriage.
48	* ''ComicBook/{{Blueberry}}'' features Chini, the daughter of the aging chief Cochise of the Navajo tribe.
49	%% * Chinook from ''ComicBook/BuddyLongway''.
50	* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'':
51	** Ember goes through a classic trope-fulfilling phase once she reaches puberty. She starts dressing in a leather bikini, wants to meet boys from outside the tribe, and spends most of her time sulking and talking to her wolf-friend. Some years later, though, she becomes chief of her own tribe, and turns out to actually have leadership qualities.
52	** Rahnee (who spends a lot of time rebelling against her father) Goodtree (who goes on a VisionQuest before she can properly become chief).
53	** Shuna (chief Cutter's adopted human daughter, who tries ''really'' hard to be exotic and elfin when she starts meeting human men)
54	** Vaya who dies in battle, but not before she finds a boyfriend outside the tribe and defies chief Kahvi's wishes.
55	** Kahvi herself who didn't get along at all with her chief father Two-Spear and left the tribe in a huff
56	** Venka Kahvi's second daughter, who... actually gracefully evades the trope.
57	** Leetah herself. She's the exotic daughter of one of her tribe's two spiritual leaders, she starts her role in the plot being kidnapped by (and falling in love with) the white main character, and the ''entire'' first story arc is about two men fighting over her: the white hero 400 years younger than her, and the proud dark-skinned hunter she grew up with that she was about to get "engaged" to. Guess who wins. The trope is played with in an interesting way in that it's the hero's people who are the [[NobleSavage noble (and nubile) savages]], while Leetah and her people are more civilized.
58	* Violently deconstructed with Princess Nadkoko in ''ComicBook/LesLegendaires'', who fits almost all elements of this trope... except the one who falls in love with her, Razorcat, is a disfigured, AxCrazy [[TheBerserker Berserker]] serving as TheDragon to his KnightTemplar mother. Cue to a TearJerker when his mother betrays Nadkoko's tribe and orders Razorcat to kill her, leading to a dilemma with BerserkerTears.
59	* In the ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' story "La Corde au cou", the Dalton brothers are spared execution when their mother find women willing to take them to husbands - all of them are the daughters of the Chief of the Flat Heads, but to their dismay, only one of them, Averell's wife, fits the trope to the T (she's adopted).
60	* Creator/MarvelComics Western hero the Ringo Kid was the son a white lawyer/rancher and a Comanche princess (never mind that the Comanche don't have princesses).
61	* ''ComicBook/TexWiller'', Italian comic from Bonelli. Tex became chief of the Navajos after marrying the chief's daughter, Lilyth, when she saved him from being killed.
62	* Moon Fawn, who becomes the wife of ComicBook/{{Tomahawk}}. He first comes across her when she is bathing in a river and saves her from a bear attack. She falls in love with him and he has to prove his worthiness to her father, Chief Grey Elk.
63	* [[{{Reconstruction}} Reconstructed]] with Dhalua from ''ComicBook/TomStrong''. Tom was RaisedByNatives on an African island, and eventually marries the chief's daughter. The reconstruction comes in because Tom speaks the language and is part of the tribe, and because he and Dhalua grew up together.
64	* In ''ComicStrip/{{Tumbleweeds}}'', Little Pigeon is the daughter of the chief of Poohawk Native Americans, who is considered a "flower among the weeds".
65	* In ''ComicBook/XMen'', [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Ororo Munro/Storm's]] mother was Princess N'Dare, and her bloodline was the source of Ororo's white hair, blue eyes, and rarely-used talent for magic (which might have influenced her genetic mutation).
66	[[/folder]]
67
68	[[folder:Fan Works]]
69	* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Yurie is a rare example that features a non-human child. She is the daughter of Raus, chieftain of the Suvai Clan. The clan is a group of CatFolk tribes, named the Wild Ones.
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
73	* Zumi in ''WesternAnimation/AinboSpiritOfTheAmazon'' is a best friend to the title character, whose father Huarinka is the chief and veteran warrior of the uncharted tribe of Candámo.
74	* In the direct-to-video sequel ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailTheTreasureOfManhattanIsland'', Cholena, the daughter of Chief Wulisso of the LostTribe of Native American mice, comes with Fievel and his friends to the surface to see if Europeans have become more tolerant. Sadly, they have not.
75	* Kida from ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' played this completely straight. While she is quite spirited, she doesn't do terribly much until she is merged with the crystal that powers Atlantis. She of course gets together with the first white boy she sees, Milo. We're told she's a deadly warrior known for her dispassionate kills of trespassers, but none of that comes across on-screen.
76	* Nita, the chief Chilkoot's daughter from ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear2''.
77	* Plio (Aladar's adoptive mother) and her daughter Suri from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}''. Her father, Yar, is actually the leader of the resident lemur clan.
78	* ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' has Crysta, who is essentially Magi Lume's adopted daughter and apprentice. Crysta is the daughter of the fairy chief.
79	* ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds'' features Jenny, the daughter of Chief Broadbeak of the underground turkey tribe and the sister of Ranger, who is seemingly attractive towards Reggie. [[spoiler:She later becomes the turkey tribe's new chief after her father's HeroicSacrifice]].
80	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodTheBadAndHuckleberryHound'', Sheriff Huck [[EasyAmnesia survives the crash with an amnesia]] and ends up falling in love with Desert Flower, the daughter of the chief and chieftess of a tribe of Native American dogs.
81	* The title character of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' is the daughter of the Chief Tui - and [[InsistentTerminology NOT the princess]] - of her village, but the film subverts this trope in a few ways, not the least of which is having no love interest for Moana. [[SmugSuper Maui]] is frankly surprised that she doesn't just bow down to him, and later, [[spoiler:she realizes that his ego is a way to break down his arguments against helping, but plays it as he would be a hero to everyone, not her hero]].
82	* ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' (the Disney version) featured Tiger Lily, who was rather more realistic in appearance as compared to the other (literally red-skinned) Indians presented in the film. She was also far more attractive, to no one's surprise.
83	* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'' (pictured above) plays this trope pretty straight except Pocahontas is the protagonist herself. Also the other Powhatan are actually not that much less attractive than her (just look at Nakoma) and they are portrayed as having identical mindsets, emotions, and intelligence as the English (white) settlers.
84	* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'', the main heroine Raya has to use the Dragon Gem's power to revive her beloved father Benja, the chief of the Heart tribe who was turned into a statue by the Druun. There is also an anti-heroine, Namaari, the daughter of Chieftess Virana of the Fang tribe.
85	* Meechee from ''WesternAnimation/{{Smallfoot}}'' is the younger sister of Thorp and the leader of Smallfoot Evidentiary Society (or S.E.S. for short) whose father the Stonekeeper is the chief of the Himalayan Yetis.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
89	* ''Film/AceVenturaWhenNatureCalls'' plays this straight with the Wachati princess. She's one of the few members of the tribe who speaks fluent English, and offers herself sexually to Ace in gratitude for his assistance. He turns her down due to his vows as a Buddhist monk, but this doesn't stop him from furiously masturbating later. However, it's heavily implied that he did end up sleeping with her at some point, as her new husband [[ChasedByAngryNatives sics both tribes on him]] when he attempts to consummate their marriage and learns that she is not a virgin.
90	-->'''Ace''': What's that he's saying?\
91	'''Fulton''': Well I think he's saying that she's not a virgin (casts suspicious glare at Ace).\
92	'''Ace''': ... [[OhCrap They can tell that?!]]
93	* In James Cameron's ''Film/{{Avatar}}'', the main character Jake Sully first meets Neytiri, the daughter of both the tribal and spiritual leaders of the Na'vi. The trope is even named outright.
94	** In the sequel ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater'', Jake and his family meet Tsireya, who is the daughter of the Metkayina clan village chieftain. One of his sons, Lo'ak, even develops an apparently requited crush on her.
95	* ''Christopher Columbus The Discovery'' has topless [[NubileSavage native girls]]. The chief's daughter is the most prominent of them, and Creator/RogerEbert "joked" that the position is probably [[BuxomBeautyStandard chosen by cup size]].
96	* ''Film/TheDaughterOfDawn'' is an unusual example of this trope in that the chief's daughter actually falls in love with another member of the tribe, not MightyWhitey. It's an all-Native American cast.
97	* In ''Film/{{Hostiles}}'', there is Living Woman, the daughter of the dying war chief Yellow Hawk of the Cheyenne and the sister of Black Hawk.
98	* In ''Film/JeremiahJohnson'', the eponymous MountainMan [[AccidentalMarriage ends up marrying]] Swan, the daughter of the Flathead Indian chief Two-Tongues Lebreaux. This does not go well because Swan is not attracted to Johnson.
99	* Disney's ''Film/LtRobinCrusoeUSN'' has the GirlFriday, a tropical island girl whom Creator/DickVanDyke's character names her "Wednesday". Her father, the headhunter chieftain Tanamashu, plans to sacrifice her due to her unwillingness to marry.
100	* Various interpretations of ''[[Literature/TheBountyTrilogy Mutiny on the Bounty]]'' frequently has Fletcher Christian fall in love with her. TruthInTelevision, however, as he did take a native wife as did many of the other men.
101	* The titular Native American chief in ''Film/Pathfinder2007'' has a beautiful daughter, Starfire, who is obviously interested in the 'exotic' European to the annoyance of rival love-interests.
102	* Tuwana in ''Film/TheRamrodder''. Having fallen in love (or at least lust) with Rick at first sight, she defies her father and comes to Rick's defence when he is accused of the rape and murder of her friend Cochina.
103	* In ''Film/ShaftInAfrica'', Shaft woos an African princess in the second sequel to his {{Blaxploitation}} hit. However she and her father were both educated in the West and act like it.
104	* In ''Film/ShanghaiNoon'', Creator/JackieChan's character gets married to the Sioux chief's daughter somewhat by accident (she knew exactly what she was doing). Once they leave the village she pretty much goes off on her own but occasionally shows up to [[BigDamnHeroes rescue]] Chon Wang and Roy when they get into trouble. At the end of the movie she dumps Chon for Roy.
105	* In ''Film/{{Stargate}}'', Daniel Jackson gets married to the Abydos chief's daughter, Sha're.
106	* In ''Literature/WhiteFang 2: Myth of the White Wolf'', Lily Joseph is the niece of the chief of the Haida tribe. She is still considered a princess and is sent on a quest to find the wolf that will bring back the caribou to her people's lands. She finds the wolf and his owner Henry Casey, who does fulfill the prophecy and wins Lily's heart in the end.
107	* ''Film/WhiteShadowsInTheSouthSeas'': Dr. Matthew Lloyd has washed up on a south Pacific island after a shipwreck. He is initially denied the charms of Fayaway because she is "tapu" (taboo) as the "virgin daughter" of the temple. After he saves the life of the chief's son, said chief lifts the tapu and gives him Fayaway.
108	* The ''Literature/{{Winnetou}}'' series:
109	** ''[[Film/WinnetouI Apache Gold]]'': Nscho-tschi (Beautiful Day) is Intschu-tschuna's daughter and Winnetou's sister. Intschu-tschuna is the chief of Apaches and Winnetou his successor, and both are noble Indian men. Nscho-tschi is [[TheCutie the cutest girl]] with big brown eyes and raven hair, and she's lovely, sweet and caring. She's also a bright girl with desire to go to school and learn as much as possible. She nurses captured Old Shatterhand to health and falls for him. Notably, she believes his claim that he saved Winnetou's life and she procures the evidence for him to prove that he's not lying. Old Shatterhand returns her affection but their love mostly stayed unresolved and undeclared.
110	** ''[[Film/WinnetouII Last of the Renegades]]'': Ribanna is not a straight example. She's the only daughter of the Cheif of Assiniboin tribe. She's a gorgeous woman and ActionGirl who can fight because she thinks her father wanted a son. She falls in love with Winnetou, the Chief of Apaches. They plan to marry, but alas! Lieutenant Merril likes Ribanna and proposes he marry her -- their marriage will cement a treaty of peace between white men and Indians. Most chiefs like the idea and promise not to fight if they do get married. Winnetou is shattered because he has fought his whole life for peace. He commits this HeroicSacrifice, but he and Ribanna suffer terribly.

113	[[folder:Literature]]
114	* ''Literature/AboveTheTimberline'' has Linea -- although she was raised by the monks of the Shadow Moon Monastery, she ''is'' the daughter of Chief Solon Kai of the Tukklan Tribes. The matter of her upbringing appears to be the cause of some conflict between Chief Kai and Master Tau of the Monastery (who reminds Chief Kai that his wife fled his famous temper to raise their child in peace). Linea herself aims to bring harmony to the two groups by marrying Zhuan, an acolyte of the monastery (at least until [[spoiler: MightyWhitey Wesley shows up and Zhuan gets downgraded to TheNativeRival]]) .
115	* Rukaiya in ''Literature/BelisariusSeries'' is the daughter of an Arab sheik. In something of a subversion her dad is an urban trader and one of the most important merchant princes in the area.
116	* ''Literature/CodexAlera'' has Kitai, daughter of Doroga, leader of the Gargant clan of the Marat. Throughout the series, Kitai proves herself to be [[ActionGirl quite the competent fighter]], easily able to hold her own against enemies that can overcome even the series' protagonist, Tavi. Doubles as a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe since the Marat are non-humans and literally flew to the planet in a spaceship, as opposed to the traditional humans who are the descendants of a magically-transported Roman legion.
117	* ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'' has Goldmoon, whose status as "Chieftan's Daughter" gets in between her and her lover, Riverwind. It should be noted, however, that they are ''both'' from the same culture (plains barbarians).
118	* Alfarid in ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'' is the [[WildChild tomboyish bandit]] of the Zott Clan in the mountains and one of the allies of Prince Arslan. Her father, Chief Heyrtash, was killed along with the rest of her clan by Silver Mask, but she was saved by the swordsman Narsus. [[spoiler:She is supposedly the heiress to the title of chieftain, but she rejects as she makes her older and more mature brother to do the task.]]
119	* ''Literature/HowARealistHeroRebuiltTheKingdom'': Aisha is the daughter of the Chief of the Dark Elves, from the God-Protected Forest. He receives a royal boon due to helping out Elfrieden, and his move is to marry off Aisha to Souma Kazuya. This will have [[AltarDiplomacy benefits to the Dark Elves,]] but he mainly did it because Aisha is utterly, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obviously]] head-over-heels in love with Kazuya. Funnily enough, the PrincessClassic is a rarity in this setting in any nation we’ve seen. They tend to be either {{Cute Bruiser}}s, or extremely [[TheChessmaster shrewd]] strategists.
120	* ''Literature/KonoSuba'' features Yunyun who is the daughter of Chief Hiropon of the Crimson Demon clan and the former classmate and rival of Megumin.
121	* ''Literature/PeterPan'': Tiger Lily is beautiful, gets saved by Peter Pan and is in love with him (though he doesn't know it).
122	* In ''The Saga of the Borderlands'', by the Argentine writer Liliana Bodoc, Nanahuatli is not the daughter of the chief, but the sister of the emperor of [[MayIncaTec The Lords of the Sun]]. She falls in love with Thungur, a warrior from the Husihuilke tribe, who is from a much lower social class. When she finds out about their romance, her brother is so enraged that he orders Nanahuatli to be taken to the Temple of the Virgins, where she will be sacrificed to the gods. [[spoiler: She manages to escape.]]
123	* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with Val in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', the sister-in-law to Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-The-Wall. Members of Stannis Baratheon's court regard her as a "wildling princess", despite the fact the Free Folk have no concept of RoyalBlood, and Val's relation to Mance doesn't affect her own status at all. Attempts by Jon Snow to convince the southern nobles and Queen Selyse that an ArrangedMarriage is incompatible with the wildlings' AsskickingLeadsToLeadership approach and... [[AbductionIsLove exotic]]... marriage traditions end in failure. The trope is also {{exploited\|Trope}} -- if some nobles want to believe that her hand is a valuable prize, Stannis is perfectly happy to let them compete for it.
124	* Subverted quite spectacularly with Aviendha in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime''. She is the niece of her clan chief Rhuarc, but it [[TruthInTelevision doesn't convey much status among the meritocratic Aiel]], to the point where it is only mentioned once as a throwaway line. She's also decidedly undistressed damselly; rather, a member of their AmazonBrigade and a raging Type A {{Tsundere}}. She does end up with the hero...but he's half-Aiel himself, and from his other parent ''he'' actually should be [[InvertedTrope a prince]].
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
128	* In the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS01E14JeremiahCrichton Jeremiah Chrichton]]", John Crichton is stranded on a planet inhabited by an (apparently) primitive tribe of aliens. The daughter of the local matriarch is attracted to him, but he refuses her love, knowing it will cause trouble in the tribe. The trouble happens anyway.
129	* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', Clark finds the Kawatche Caves where he meets Kyla Willowbrook, the granddaughter of a Native American chief.
130	* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E3TheParadiseSyndrome The Paradise Syndrome]]", Kirk suffers a bout of amnesia and ends up married to native priestess Miramanee. It does not end well.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Mythology]]
134	* It sometimes seems like every third Hopi legend/story/oral history involves a village headman's daughter (Hopis don't really have "chiefs") either as love-interest or protagonist.
135	* The Klamath Indians' explanation for Oregon's Crater Lake has a chief's daughter named Loha being the catalyst for the story. Her part comes when she turns down the advances of Llao, the god of the underworld, because he was... well, the god of the underworld. Llao decides to punish the people by making Mount Mazama erupt, but then the sky god Skell comes to the rescue. Skell imprisons Llao inside Mount Mazama and makes it collapse to seal the entrance to the underworld, forming Crater Lake. This story is loosely corroborated by geology, which tells us Crater Lake was formed when Mount Mazama collapsed into a caldera around 5677 BC.

137
138	[[folder:Theater]]
139	* Nabulungi in ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon''.
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Video Games]]
143	* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Brigandine}} Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia]]'', Talia is the ruler of the Shinobi Tribe whose mother Della is its chief.
144	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
145	** Lyn is the daughter of the [[spoiler:deceased]] Lorca chieftain.
146	** Rath is the estranged prince of another tribe, the Kutolah.
147	** Rath's daughter Sue [[spoiler:(of whom Lyn ''can'' be the mother, via supports)]] takes up the role in the prequel.
148	** Rinkah, daughter of the chief of the Flame tribe, fighting against Nohr on his orders.
149	* In ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMana'', Minerva was apparently the princess of Laurent who was taken captive by Olbex after he killed her mother Chief Galura. She later became the queen of Laurent, with her husband Joster as its king.
150	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''
151	** Princess Ruto of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' fame could fall under this, being given a more human look (coupled with wearing NOTHING) than other Zora FishPeople (Especially when compared to [[UglyGuysHotDaughter her dad, the Chief]]). While initially snarky, she does become attracted to Link and the MacGuffin piece she gives him is like an engagement ring. She also [[SheIsAllGrownUp Grows Up Nice]].
152	** Princess Mipha in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' can also go here. She was the champion of the Zora tribe, and a ChildhoodFriend of Link, who was a talented user of healing magic and wielded her Lightscale Trident.
153	* ''VideoGame/LesterTheUnlikely'': Tikka, who helps Lester when he reaches the Native village.
154	* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has a gender inverted example with Hau, the grandson of Kahuna, living in Alola (a rural region equivalent to real life Hawaii). Though Kahuna isn't necessarily a tribal chief, but Hala, Hau's grandfather, pretty much has that vibe. He is old, charismatic (especially compared to the other Kahunas), and respected by people of their town. Hau's family house is much bigger than anyone's in the town, implying that his family might come from noble lineage. As addition, Hau is kind of attracted to Lillie, a white girl he befriends, who also happens to be [[spoiler: the main villain's daughter]].
155	* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRevolver'' Falling Star, Red's mother, was the local Chief's daughter.
156	* In ''VideoGame/RootsOfPacha'', Mana is the daughter of Gin, the leader of the Pacha clan, and she trains under Grob because she [[FollowingInRelativesFootsteps wants to be the next in line after her father.]] Gin chose her over her older brother Nokk for this, and also because Gin believes in breaking a bit of tradition to further progress in the community.
157	* Shania in ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld''. She's the lead female character, love interest to the white protagonist, wears skimpy animal-skin looking clothing and dual wields tomahawks. Although she's not literally the daughter of a chief, she mostly follows this trope.
158	* Tikal in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' is the daughter of Chief Pachacamac of the echidna tribe and the ancestor of Knuckles the Echidna.
159	* Elena from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' is a more [[DanceBattler physically active]] example.
160	* In ''VideoGame/SuikodenI'', Tengaar has been [[BrattyTeenageDaughter raised and spoiled]] by her father Zorak, chief of the Warrior's Village. She reappears in the sequel ''VideoGame/SuikodenII''.
161	** There is also Sylvina, the granddaughter of the Chief of the Elves and the Chisatsu Star.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Web Animation]]
165	* [[spoiler: Blake Belladonna]] from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' is the daughter of [[spoiler:Menagerie's chieftain Ghira Belladonna]]. However, it's a much more civilized society than most uses of this trope. Instead of violent attacks, [[spoiler:Sun is subject to intimidation but is still allowed to say]]. But her father is still ''very'' vocal about how he feels about the friendship.
166	[[/folder]]
167

169	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
170	** While Katara is the daughter of ''a'' chief of the southern tribe, she's never referred to as "Princess" and doesn't seem to have all that much interest in finding a husband. Her main priorities are learning how to Waterbend and helping Aang save the world (though he ''does'' have a crush on her and they get together eventually). However, this is mostly likely because the southern tribe isn't deeply into tradition, as the Northern tribe's Princess Yue most definitely plays this trope for all it's worth. The Southern Water Tribe appears to be democratic, while the Northern Water Tribe seems to be a Monarchy. This may be due to simple attrition; the Southern tribe is down to a few dozen people in a fishing village at this point, plus the remaining warriors on campaign, while the Northern tribe is still a populous city.
171	** When Sokka tries to flirt with Yue, he refers to himself as a Prince, but Katara asks "Prince of what?". For all practical purpose, being the daughter (or son) of the chief of a small, primitive town, doesn't give you a high rank outside, especially compared to The Chief's Daughter from a powerful kingdom.
172	** This further expanded on in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', because they essentially rebuilt the South following the war, the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe considers himself technically the chief of ''both'' tribes, despite the two being, for the most part, completely separated and the Southern Tribe preferring their own council of tribal leaders. Korra herself fits the bill in that she is the daughter of Tonraq, who is the single most influential leader of the Southern Water Tribe, even though her uncle, Unalaq, is the aforementioned Chief of Northern Tribe and thus technically the South as well. [[spoiler:At the end of Book 2, she fits the bill for real when the two tribes separate and Tonraq is officially elected as Chief of the Southern Water Tribe.]]
173	** Eska, as daughter of Unalaq, would thus qualify, much as Yue in the original series did before her. Ironically, her ex-boyfriend/fiancé even goes on to be a "mover star" in a corny series of adventure serials much like those in which this trope would be played totally straight, but his on-screen love interest doesn't fit the trope.
174	* Parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'', wherein the elderly hound Everett is trying to remember the combination to his Franchise/IndianaJones expy owner's safe so that Otis and the other animals can find out what's inside. To do this, Everett recollects everything he can about his adventures with his owner so that the animals can act it out and jog his memory. Apparently, a lot of these involved his owner wooing a chief's daughter and being forced to marry her. Quote Everett, "he was a [[ChickMagnet chief's daughter magnet]]!" [[spoiler:Becomes a BrickJoke when Everett's owner turns out to be the contents of the safe and as the two walk off into the sunset he asks Everett if there are "any chief's daughters around here", to which Everett snarks "the next county's swarming with 'em!"]]
175	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'', Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka is the younger daughter of the widowed Chief Chirpa of the Ewok tribe, whose older sister Asha went missing during the death of their mother Ra-Lee and who is often the voice of reason and wisdom to her friends.
176	* Sheera in ''WesternAnimation/MightyMightor'' is the daughter of Chief Pondo of the HollywoodPrehistory village. Her younger brother Little Rok wants to be a KidSidekick to the [[HandsomeHeroicCaveman titular superhero]], and they both have NonHumanSidekick Bollo and Ork respectively.
177	* ''WesternAnimation/PawPawBears'' has Princess Paw Paw who uses the power of the Mystic Moonstone to bring three large wooden totems, the Bear, the Tortoise and the Eagle, to life and rides on her flying horse named Flying Cloud. Her father is Wise Paw, the chief of the tribe of Native American bear cubs.
178	* In the ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' episode "[[Recap/SonicTheHedgehogSatAMS2E10CryOfTheWolf Cry of the Wolf]]", Lupe is the leader of the [[NobleSavage Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters]], taking her father's place after he was captured and roboticized by Dr. Robotnik.
179	* In ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju2007'', Jeera and Zaria are the daughters of the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold bumbling but harmless chief]] of the Pupununu village. Zaria is meant to be the heir apparent for [[SmugSnake she highly thinks of herself]], and she and Jeera [[SiblingRivalry tend to get in squabbles]]. Jeera, on the other hand, often [[TheUnfavourite bemoans that her father only prefers Zaria]].
180	* Princess Tinyfeet in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' is the daughter of the Native American-themed superhero, Chief Justice, and the ex-wife of Sgt. Hatred. She is depicted in some stereotypical Native American characteristics (such as her outfits, referring to corn as "maize", and owing a teepee).

184	* The combination of Pre-Hispanic AltarDiplomacy and Hispanic openness to intermarriage translated into a long list of native princesses that hooked up with Spanish and Portuguese conquistadores (or rather were hooked up by their parents, although there were also genuine unions and the occasional PerfectlyArrangedMarriage).
185	** Guaricha, baptized Isabel, married conquistador UsefulNotes/AlonsoDeOjeda to seal an alliance with her father, chieftain Guaraba of Coquivacoa, in modern Venezuela. They fell in love for real and lived happily together, so much that when Ojeda died of illness, she took her life in desperation.
186	** UsefulNotes/LaMalinche, UsefulNotes/HernanCortez's concubine and advisor, was the daughter of a chieftain, even if she had actually been sold off and was a slave by the point she met Cortés. Later she officially married fellow conquistador Juan Jaramillo.
187	** Tecuelhuetzin, baptized María Luisa Xicohtencatl, was one of the daughters of Xicohtencatl the Elder, lord of Tlaxcala. She was given in a native ceremony to UsefulNotes/PedroDeAlvarado, Cortés' lieutenant (she was originally meant for Cortés himself, but he was already married by the Christian rite), to seal the alliance between the Spaniards and the Tlaxcaltecs. Even although Alvarado later married another woman the Christian way for her own connections, Tecuelhuetzin remained in his entourage, as native marriages were polygamous, and was the only mother of his children.
188	** Quispe Sisa, baptized Inés Huaylas Yupanqui, married UsefulNotes/FranciscoPizarro. She was a daughter of the late Inca emperor Huayna Cápac and Huayla princess Contarhuacho. Her marriage broke up due to political turmoil, though, possibly because Pizarro became suspicious of her loyalty (Quispe had previously convinced Pizarro that her own sister Azarpay was a spy, leading to her execution in what chroniclers consider a lame slander motivated by sisterly rivalry). She later married Pizarro's secretary Francisco de Ampuero, although it went a bit wrong again, this time because it turned out to be a quite dysfuncional relationship: she accused him of being a psycho that abused her, he accused her of being a bigger psycho who tried to poison him, and they [[TheMasochismTango still lived together for twenty more years]].
189	** Cuxirimay Ocllo or Angelina Yupanqui was the daughter of Inca nobleman Yamque Yupanqui and Puruha princess Paccha Duchicela. Rumored to be TheVamp of the Inca court, she hooked up with Pizarro after he divorced Quispe.
190	** Chimpu Ocllo, baptized Isabel Suárez Yupanqui, daughter of Inca emperor Tupac Hualpa, married Sebastián Garcilaso de la Vega y Vargas, having a son that would be Creator/IncaGarcilasoDeLaVega. They separated when Gonzalo Pizarro's rebellion made the crown wary of random Spaniards getting too convenient marriages with the local nobility, which drove Sebastián to marry a Spanish lady, although he left Isabel a hefty dowry for her future re-marriage as an apology (several other conquistadors did the same with their own princesses, hoping not to give the impression they wanted to proclaim themselves native royalty). She then married the merchant Juan del Pedroche.
191	** Anayansi, baptized María Caridad, was the daughter of Panamanian chieftain Careta, whom UsefulNotes/VascoNunezDeBalboa had recruited into his entourage through DefeatMeansFriendship. Núñez married Anayansi in a native rite to seal the alliance, and seemingly had a happy time together until Núñez was heartbreakingly forced to leave and marry the daughter of another conquistador to calm infighting (it didn't work).
192	** To mention one gender-flipped example, Inca prince Carlos Inca married a Spanish lady, María Amarilla de Esquivel. The resultant son, Melchor Carlos Inca, would also marry another Spanish noblewoman, Leonor Arias Carrasco. As the old song goes, "[[Music/HipsDontLie I never really knew that she could dance like this (hey) / she make a man wants to speak Spanish / ¿Cómo se llama (sí), bonita (sí)? / ¿Mi casa, su casa?]]"
193	* UsefulNotes/{{Pocahontas}} was the daughter of Algonquin Chief Powhattan[[note]]though technically not a princess since their inheritance laws worked differently[[/note]], but stories of her romance with John Smith are greatly exaggerated. She was a ''preteen'' at the time, though [[ValuesDissonance it was not quite the strict disqualification at the time it would be today]]. The real John Smith wasn't exactly what you'd call a blonde Adonis. He was said to be a short, pudgy ginger. She ''did'' wind up with another English guy, John Rolfe. King James I took her 'royalty' so seriously he considered punishing Rolfe for his presumption in marrying a 'princess'.
194	** Historical rumor has it that John Smith seemed to very coincidentally have Chieftan's Daughters fall madly in love with him in just about every native culture where he showed his face. According to his journals, anyway. There's some talk that what John Smith witnessed (if it really happened) may have been a ritualized ceremony designed to show newcomers who was boss (by nearly "executing" them and then having them saved by a little girl).
195	* St. Kateri Tekawitha, notably the daughter of a chief who was also adopted by her uncle, the husband of her father's sister, who was also a chief, then she ran away to more or less become a nun in French Canada and ultimately became a Catholic saint.
