The youngest child of several sisters in a typical fairy tale kingdom, Cimorene is bored with trying to be a proper princess and runs away to become a dragon's princess (which is basically a mashup of maid/chef/librarian). She's clever, hard-working, and stubborn (or pig-headed, if you're annoyed with her), and stood out to the other characters for having more common sense than the average princess.

Removing trope for not fitting. Morwen is ginger. That's a redhead, not a brunette. Brainy Brunette is specifically for brunettes.

!!King Mendanbar

* LoyalPhlebotinum: His sword will only allow itself to be held by the King of the Enchanted Forest or a member of his family. It is innately linked to the forest's magic and in choosing its next bearer when the old one dies, it also selects the next king (who, due to that link, promptly inherits an enormous amount of magical power on top of the title — wouldn't do to have a spell-less leader of an innately magical country, after all).
* ModestRoyalty: Not only does he dress very casually, he hates formal occasions and cancels as many as he can get away with, much to his steward's dismay. At one point, another character chides him for it, saying he should at least wear the crown or else no one would know who he was.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: King Mendanbar can and does perform pretty much every significant task in his territory himself, to the point that he runs himself pretty ragged. His "court" is a handful of palace staff that takes care of daily operations. The new King of the Dragons, crowned at the end of the first book, also operates firmly under this trope.
* TranslatorBuddy: He often explains Telemain's Magibabble to others.
