* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Irma and Sarah, respectively.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Irma. Somewhat justified by their theatrical parents, but still a bit of a running gag.

* HasTwoMommies: Irma has two mothers ''and'' two fathers who live separately in their respective marriages, although a flashback implies there was some attraction between one mother and father as well. [[spoiler:The same flashback reveals Irma has a third father; he died shortly after they were born, and his partner later met [[SecondLove another man]].]]

* LighterAndSofter: The comic as a whole is this in comparison to most webcomics centered around trans people. Which often have a dark(''Webcomic/TransGirlDiaries'', ''Webcomic/VenusEnvy''), cynical(''Assigned Male'', ''Manic Pixie Nightmare Girls'') or melancholic (''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'', ''With Great Abandon'') tone to them. Even more lighthearted ones like ''Webcomic/IWantToBeACuteAnimeGirl'' have some edge to them. The Princess on the other hand, presents itself as almost like a children’s book. With an adorably simple sense of humor and artstyle as well as a very fluffy tone that is perfect for young children.

* MorePopularSpinoff: It's more popular than the comic it's a spinoff of, [[https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Eves_Apple/5186781/ Eve's Apple]].

Sarah is an archetypical girly-girly who loves everything pink and anything involving princesses. What sets Sarah apart from the rest of her schoolmates is she's {{transgender}}.

* {{Transgender}}:
** Sarah starts the comic trying to get her mother to let her live as a girl.
** [[spoiler:Irma]] is genderfluid. Their family uses gender-neutral terms for them, since they sometimes identify as a boy, or some combination.
** Sarah's friend Mars, who she also has a crush on, is a trans boy.

* BiTheWay:
** Sarah is seemingly prone to crushes on anyone who is particularly noble to her, regardless of their gender.
** Irma has also been seen crushing on boys in the past and is currently dating a girl.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: At least Sarah thinks so. She's rarely seen without her crown.

* HasTwoMommies: Irma has two mothers ''and'' two fathers who live separately in their respective marriages, although a flashback implies there was some attraction between mothers and fathers too. [[spoiler:The same flashback reveals Irma has a third father; he died shortly after they were born, and his partner later met [[SecondLove another man]].]]

** One of Sarah's friends, who she also has a crush on, is a trans boy.
