(God, it's been so long that we've had a fanon discussion. I really missed doing thesee.)

How do you feel about OCs who are princes/princesses? Do you think it's unusual for a prince or princess who's guaranteed a happy ending to be a Rebel (or at least not be a Royal)?

I know on the actual show, the Royal characters tend to be royalty while the Rebel characters tend to be commoners (though there are exceptions, like Blondie and Raven). But I've noticed with the fan characters, exceptions are just as common as straight examples.

With my own OCs, I tend to vary it. Usually a happy ending alone isn't going to guarantee me making an OC a Royal. I've made a number of royalty OCs who are Rebels for a variety of reasons. For example, Trofimo Pulce is a Rebel because he doesn't want his giant flea friend to be killed. Galaktion Lyagushkin is a Rebel because he thinks not following his destiny would be more fulfilling, and Glykeria Simigdali is a Rebel because she doesn't think she can keep herself from eating the statue that is supposed to become Mr. Simigdali.

Anyone who has an OC who is a prince/princess but not a Royal is free to discuss them here!

On a side note...how do you feel about OCs with tragic destinies who are Royals? I noticed they tend to be rather unusual, since not many people are willing to die.
