The line of succession is only what gives it legitimacy by default. If a ruled people give it legitimacy by means other than blood that doesn't make it have inherently less value. It's just politics. An appointed position that serves the same purpose as a princess is functionally a princess if we call it one. We could name a female Vice President of the United States princess and it'd be indistinguishable from a princess aside from the reign timing out after 4-8 years "Princesses are by definition heiresses to their respective thrones. Princesses should be part of a royal family, and it helps if they are referred to as "princess __" at some point in their medium." By the definition Charon had for this contest, yes, that example would be distinguishable from an actual princess. scarletspeed7 posted... NBIceman posted... Just because some amount of princesses don't involve themselves in any sort of political activity and/or choose not to exercise what political influence they might have doesn't mean that characters who don't actually have any such legitimacy are the same as they are. Oh, great argument for Kairi Sane here. I don't understand what makes you think that anything I said makes Sane sound better. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights <cite>NBIceman posted [p:912627310] in ^King of t...
