Welcome, traveller, welcome to Omsk
Axed Andromeda from the myth of Perseus: she was a Human Sacrifice, not this trope.
Also not sure about this (in Mythology):
- An example from the Christian martyrology: the unnamed Princess from Saint George of Cappadocia's legend, as well as her Japanese counterpart, Princess Kushinada from the Orochi myths.
The princess is again a Human Sacrifice, not this trope (the Barrier Maiden isn't supposed to be disposable!), but I don't know the Japanese legend, so I can't say whether it's correct.

Also, the example picture doesn't seem to have anything to do with the trope.

Is not actually from Lyniezia
Having just come across this trope and having watched a certain episode of Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors on tape today, I can recall an instance of this- in "The Sleeping Princess" the princess of the title has some sort of pyschic link with the plants that keep her world alive, and when she got put to sleep by a wizard this link was severed (they had to wake her up to save it).
Trouble is, which category does it go in? I suppose Western Animation but I know the actual stuff was drawn by Japanese studios- very much doubt that makes it anime?
