Tribal Princess


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

- I have duties to my father, to my tribe.



The Tribal Princess is the title of the daughter of the Northern Water Tribe's Tribal Chief. The title is currently held by Chief Unalaq's daughter. Sometime prior to Chief Unalaq's leadership, the daughter of Chief Arnook, Yue, held the title of Tribal Princess. 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, which was exhibited when Yue was forced to marry 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; Yue described her role as "a duty to her people".

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.
 * 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.
