Tribal Princess


 * This article is about the title. For the princess met by Team Avatar, see Yue.



The Tribal Princess is the title of the daughter of the Northern Water Tribe's Tribal Chief. The title was most recently held by Chief Arnook's daughter, Princess Yue. The Princess resides in the Northern Water Tribe Palace.

The Tribal Princess has questionable power. She acts as the chief's adviser and thus has a part in making some decisions, but she does not have the power to object to arranged marriages, as shown in Yue's case with Hahn. Unlike the Fire Nation Princess, a procession of guards does not follow the Tribal Princess around or carry her on palanquins; however, she does seem to be catered to by servants, as Yue was transported across the city in a boat by a Waterbender.

Like the Tribal Chief himself, the Tribal Princess does not seem to have the same power that the royalty of the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom have. She is, however, a great influence to her tribe, and as Yue says, has a duty to her people. The husband of the Tribal Princess likely becomes the Tribal Prince and the chief's heir. Currently, the title of Tribal Princess is vacant, as Princess Yue gave up her duties to become the Moon Spirit.

Trivia

 * Yue is the daughter of the Northern Tribal Chief, while Katara and Sokka are the children of the Southern Tribal Chief. Even though they hold this title, with Sokka even calling himself the prince of the Southern Water Tribe in an attempt to impress Yue, they are still considered mere peasants. However, this may be because of the Southern Water Tribe's more liberal nature or because it was more devastated in the War.
 * Hakoda was away from the tribe throughout Team Avatar's journey, so if he actually administrated over the tribe regularly, Katara and Sokka might have advised him in the same manner as Yue advised Arnook.
