* '''Straight''': Princess Velvet must hide from soldiers of TheEmpire, disguising herself as a commoner.

* '''Downplayed''': "Princess Velvet, we just wanted you to go on a blind date with Prince Brocade."

* '''Double Subverted''': ...But the attack fails, or she hates being an exile, so she returns as a fugitive.
* '''Parodied''': Most of the nobility is "in hiding," but everybody except Emperor Evulz knows exactly where they are. May be the result of their PaperThinDisguise: the nobility walk the street wearing masks or odd hats, which prevents the Emperor or his {{Mooks}} from recognizing them. The aristocracy is based in "The Hidden Grotto," which is marked on every single map.

* '''Defied''': A U.N. expy enforces laws that protect former rulers from having to go into hiding. Princess Velvet is able to live openly.
* '''Discussed''': "But sire, what if your predecessor's heir is living among the commoners?"
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Velvet is so used to living the high life that she has difficulty adjusting to life on the run; unable to hide her heritage, she is eventually discovered and dealt with.
* '''Reconstructed''': Velvet has trouble adjusting to life on the run at first, but with help from sympathetic villagers is able to overcome this, and [[CharacterDevelopment emerges as a stronger person]] for going through such trials.
* '''Played For Laughs:''' Despite being on the run, Velvet [[RoyalBrat expects everyone to keep treating her like royalty]] and responds to any perceived insult with an enraged "[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith Do you know who I]] ''[[YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith AM]]''?!" -- much to the dismay of her bodyguard.
