History Main / TheChiefsDaughter

** 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/{{Shakira}} 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?]]"

* 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'.

* Princess Ruto of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' fame could fall under this, being given a more human look (coupled with wearing NOTHING) than other Zora (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]].

* Tikal in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' is the daughter of Chief Pachacamac of the echidna tribe and the ancestor of [[Characters/SonicTheHedgehogKnucklesTheEchidna Knuckles the Echidna]].

* 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 [[Characters/SonicTheHedgehogDrIvoEggmanRobotnik Dr. Robotnik]].

* Princess Tinyfeet in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is the daughter of Native American 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).

* Alfarid from ''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 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.]]

* In ''Literature/TheSagaOfTheBorderlands'', 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.]]

* Nita, the chief Chilkoot's daughter from ''[[WesternAnimation/BrotherBear Brother Bear 2]]''.

** Guaricha, baptized Isabel, married conquistador Alonso de Ojeda to seal an alliance with her father, chieftain Guaraba of Coquivacoa, in modern Venezuela. They lived happily together, so much that when Ojeda died of illness, she took her life in desperation.

** 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 Pedro de Alvarado, 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.
