The crux of her debut episode was to show her that she didn't have to be ashamed of being herself with her green hair in her new home.

** ModestRoyalty: The whole family, including King Dad and Queen Mom (as they are know in the credits), fall into both tropes. Their castle, while pretty extravagant-looking on the inside, is a rather modest size on the out. Both the King and Queen act just as much as normal parents would as they do as royal ones, like how the Queen is more than willing to do the house work and cook and the King partakes in such not-quite royal activities like bowling.

The titular character is an 8-year old biracial princess named Nella, who also transforms into a knight when someone's in trouble. She rides a unicorn named Trinket as her steed, who loves fashion. Her other friends include Sir Garrett, a young knight who carries informative trading cards everywhere, and his horse, Clod, who is the comic relief for the group. Last, but not least, especially in his mind, is Sir Blaine. A talented, if boisterous, young knight, he tends towards being competitive and self-centered, as well as being ignorant of the negative effects being as such can have. Sometimes acts as an antagonistic force, sometimes not, but either way, Nella is usually able to get through to his better side, whatever the occasion, though usually not with a straightforward approach.

When that backfires and makes things worse, an additional layer of Aesop is learned that one must be sincere in one's positive endeavors, including kindness, in order to make the best of things.
