The Ordinary Princess

Content Ratings

Moderate Romance

The princess falls in love with a gardener and they marry; the romance is sweet, mutual, and central to the plot, though physical content is entirely chaste and fairy-tale appropriate.

Light Themes

The princess rejects the expectations of royal beauty and arranged marriage; themes of self-acceptance, the value of being ordinary, and choosing one's own path are central; the tone is light, humorous, and ultimately romantic.

No Violence

There is no violence; conflict is social and centered on escaping an unwanted marriage.

Synopsis

Princess Amethyst, cursed at birth to be ordinary rather than beautiful, embraces her plainness and runs away from an arranged marriage to work as a kitchen maid in a neighboring kingdom, where she finds true love with a gardener. A charming, subversive fairy tale that celebrates ordinariness and choice.
