Random Princesses
Lolita
The poster child for childhood abuse, nobody should ever make a kids' movie about her.

Stephanie St. Clair
This audacious black gangster fought the Italian mob for control of Harlem and won, taunting them in full-page newspaper ads as she went.

Princess Pyeonggang
This princess held her father to his word in the most unexpected way: by demanding to marry the stupidest man in Korea.

Andamana
