History Main / ShelteredAristocrat

** Princess Azula, of all people, displays shades of this. Her sheltered royal life has resulted in very limited contact with ordinary people, and things as simple as a volleyball game and a house party for teenagers become ways for her to display her brutal intimidation tactics, without fully realizing that's what she's doing.

These characters tend to fall into three main types: a plucky-type with child-like innocence and kindness, a silly and cowardly-type who is treated like a joke, and a snobby and superior type that can be cruel. Most of the types have a good chance to mature into the honorable and melancholic [[TheWisePrince Wise Prince]] or the practical and down-to-Earth PrincelyYoungMan during their adventures, though the cowardly and snobbish types have just as much of a chance to turn their back on the real world and [[IvoryTower shut themselves back in their palace]], if they can.

** Though Long Feng has been long gone by the time the SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' takes place, the introduction of [[UpperClassTwit Prince Wu]] - the heir to the Earth Kingdom throne - in Book Four shows that the monarchy still values opulence and ritual over practical leadership. Before his CharacterDevelopment, Wu is mostly excited to be coronated for the pomp and ceremony, and has precious little knowledge about politics, foreign affairs, or what the citizens in his kingdom really need.
