* '''The Hard Way:''' Becoming royalty by going through such intermediate stages as "[[PrivateMilitaryContractors mercenary]]", "field commander", "[[TheWarlord warlord]]" and finally "[[TheConqueror conqueror]]," and most likely marrying a princess along the way, either becoming the ruler of the kingdom or TheHighQueen's consort. It never appeared in fairy tales, but is very common in heroic epics. Naturally, this is a predominantly male path.

* Quain'tana of ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', who went from starving commoner, to mercenary, to leader of a group of mercenaries, to leader of ''larger'' band of mercenaries and from their ended up the founder and leader of one of the single most powerful clans in the city of Chel'el'Sussoloth, controlling a military force ten times larger then the next most powerful clan.
* Villain example: In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', the demon lord Horribus (as well as his siblings Deplora and Terribus) were originally the demon equivalents of rednecks, with the simple names Horb, Plorb, and Terb, until Horribus's role in conquering the Dimension of Pain earned them all aristocratic status.
** The same occurs for long suffering member of Horribus's QuirkyMiniBossSquad [[spoiler:Psyk]], who is made the new demon lord [[spoiler:Psykosis]].
* While not a princess per se, Agatha Heterodyne in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' is a Sleeping Beauty type, the long-lost daughter and only survivor [[spoiler:besides her mother, who happens to be the BigBad, sort of]] of the powerful Heterodyne family. Raised by {{Parental Substitute}}s and protected from her heritage as a [[MadScientist Spark]] by a locket her uncle made for her, she grows up having no idea she's heir to one of the most important families there is in a world run by {{Mad Scientist}}s.
** Technically, she is royalty: her first important ancestor drank pure mana from the Fountain of the Goddess (in this world, drinking mana kills most people from the neural strain) and lived. The head priestess declared him the consort of the goddess, possibly married him, and ever since all the Heterodynes have the power to drink from one of the only sources of pure mana and live. Jaegers gain their superpowers by drinking a diluted, processed version of the mana, which says a lot about the claim to divine right.
* ''Webcomic/{{Erstwhile}}'':
** Maid Maleen is a Goose Girl,
** All-Furs and the prince in "Iron Hans" are Snow Whites,
** the farmer's clever daughter is a Cinderella.
* Played around a ''lot'' in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell''. Lindesfarne (the adopted daughter of Kevin) is believed to be the lost heir of the British throne. Determined to get the paparazzi off her back, she seeks out and finds Chertsey, another hedgehog that was in the orphanage the same time as her. Finding her through her handprints and a police record, Lindesfarne gets paparazzi-in-training Fiona to leak out that Chertsey might be the lost heir. DNA tests prove that Lindesfarne was the actual heir, but she conspired to put Chertsey in her place because it made a better RagsToRoyalty story and she wanted to stay with her family.\\\
And ''here'' is where it gets interesting. [[spoiler:It turns out years later that Chertsey's DNA matches Lindesfarne's...because Domain runs parallel to a universe where humans are the dominant species, and every animal in Domain has a counterpart in the human world, proven because if they cross over, they turn into their counterpart, DNA match and all. Lindesfarne, it turns out, originated from the human world and crossed over to Domain as a baby by accident, making her Chertsey's counterpart. So in short, ''both'' Lindesfarne and Chertsey are Sleeping Beauty types. Not that Lindesfarne ever intends to go back to the human world or stake her claim-she'd much rather be a scientist.]]
* In Universe 3 of ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'', ''Bardock'' becomes a Cinderella type king. Turns out the Saiyan throne is given by KlingonPromotion, so when King Vegeta didn't believe Bardock's claims that Frieza would kill them all, Bardock forced the issue by defeating King Vegeta and taking the throne himself.
* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', [[BlueBlood the 10 Great Families]] tend to adopt strong and talented children, among them orphans, to become Rankers and Princess candidates. The reason for this is that the Families apparently don't get it on that much (except for [[DirtyOldMan Khun]] [[HaremSeeker Edahn]]). The way to riches is very hard and dangerous though, as seen with Endorsi Jahad's backstory.
* Inverted by ''Webcomic/{{Godslave}}'', as Anpu went down from being a god with pharaons worshipping him to being broke and trapped in shape of a fennec. He now tries to reclaim his past glory.

* ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'': Remora the mermaid spent most of her life as a commoner, and most of the strip's run as an outcast due to her marrying a human and having a half-human child with him. However, her key role in solving the mystery of why merpeople were suddenly becoming {{Mode Lock}}ed (short answer: global warming) and the previous queen resigning due to covering the crisis up led to Remora being elected queen instead. She's not entirely thrilled about it, considering her biggest job will be trying to convince humans to stop climate change, with Dave outright saying she's being set up to fail.
