* MsFanservice: She is given an AgeLift from the historical events and is exceptionally gorgeous with the little clothes she has on. Hell, in the Disney's version of the events we are led to believe the only reason John Smith didn't shoot Pocahontas immediately is because ''[[DistractedByTheSexy she was so hot]]''.

Ratcliffe isn't entirely incorrect about the Native Americans considering that he said "Smith tried to befriend them and look what they've done to him".

Added DiffLines:

* VillainHasAPoint: He believes that the Indians attacked because they took their gold when they only retaliated. However, he had a right to not trust them in the sense that Kocoum attacked John Smith out of jealously of Pocahontas' love for him and John Smith was not only captured by the Natives but was nearly executed.

* LegendaryInTheSequel: In the sequel, she seems to be a leader of her tribe alongside her father, and while the settlers are sometimes rude to her, many of them also seem to hold her in a certain high reverence. In turn she is given permission, both by the Tribes and by John Rolfe, to visit England on a diplomatic mission to hold peace talks with the King.
