Whether or not youโre a princess youโre strong, independent and confident in your own abilities. But sometimes you hit rock bottom, sometimes you find yourself in need of help. Itโs okay, we all need a hero at times. And maybe theyโre exactly who you need, or someone that you would have least expected.
Person in distress1) Classic, fantasy rescue- Oh dear, somehow, someway you were captured by some nefarious neโer-do-well. Now youโre locked in a tower/dungeon/whatever else you can come up with.
2) Kidnapped- Whether it was by dragon, a band of thieves or that one miscreant with that obviously evil mustache, you now need help escaping your confines.
3) Caught in a problem you created- Of course not all situations are caused by some villain looking to cause problems. No, sometimes you are your own worst enemy.
4) You donโt need saving- AKA: wrong damsel. Well this does happen sometimes. You donโt know who this person is thatโs come to help you, but youโve got everything under control here. Still perhaps you wonโt say no to some extra help?
The knight in shining armor1) Traveler- You were just minding your own business; either exploring a far off land or just passing through. All of sudden youโve found yourself caught up helping this person.
2) Knight- Or perhaps youโre there on purpose; a knight, either metaphorically or literally, come to rescue someone in their hour of need.
3) The steed/squire/apprentice- The knight had failed, or maybe they themselves are need of help. Sometimes it falls to the sidekick to make things right.
4) Friend or family- Lets face it, the most important heroes and role models we can ever have are sometimes those weโve known for most of your life.
