...or maybe if you shop around for the right author you could be the sort of Whiny Princess who nevertheless turns out to have mad diplomacy skillz and political smarts when she isn't whining (and, in fact, also when she is), and saves the party's collective neck while the thud-and-blunder Obligatory Male Lead is standing around wondering which of these strange and confusing people he should jab the sword into first?
I like Whiny Princesses. They have the potential to be surprising. Plucky Farmgirls never really turn out surprising, for some reason...
(Sympathy on the foot cramps, btw. I do hate those).
