Princess: Difference between revisions

In [[Equestria]] and beyond, the title of princess seems to vary in terms of the power that comes with it. [[Princess Amore]] and {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} have acted in the capacity of queens of the [[Crystal Empire]] and Equestria, respectively, and have even been referred to by that title on occasion. {{FIM|Princess Luna}} is Celestia's co-ruler and {{FIM|Princess Cadance}} Amore's successor, but both appear to defer to Celestia, as doesdid Princess {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} prior to Celestia’s retirement. Princess also appears to be a title of supreme authority in several other dimensions, as seen in the [[Mirror Universe]], [[Eris' dimension]], and the [[Shadow Realm]].

By contrast, various non-{{FIM|Pony}} cultures or those from still other dimensions appear to regard princess as a lesser title. [[Princess Skystar]] is subordinate to her mother, [[Queen Novo]], while [[Zapp]] of the [[Power Ponies dimension]] is a princess who seeks "to prove herself worthy of becoming queen."<ref>Enterplay trading card PP6</ref> In the case of [[Ember (dragon)|Ember]], her title of princess seemed to merely denote her status as daughter of then [[Dragon Lord]] [[Torch]]. She was unable to publicly disobey her father, and received no special consideration during the [[Gauntlet of Fire (event)|Gauntlet of Fire]]. Even among ponies the title has at times been secondary to another monarch, as [[Princess Platinum]] acted on behalf of her father [[King Bullion]].
