Description

Sailor Princess Pocahontas - yes, she is a princess! I had to do quite a bit of research to determine whether she should be a Disney Princess or a Disney Heroine. The argument that I found was that Native American tribes often elected their chiefs. However, the Powhatan tribe did not. The chiefdom was inherited matrilineally to the males. A lot of people would've had to die before Pocahontas could become chieftess, or she would've had to marry one of her uncles or cousins to be a chief's wife, but as she was in line all the same, she qualifies as a princess. The English certainly regarded her as one.

This version of Pocahontas belongs to Disney. Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. I used works by Drachea Rannak for reference, as well as images of Pocahontas.
