Text document

Madalena is ostensibly the evil queen, but unlike the Disney trope, she's a character who stands on her own. She doesn't exist just to be the antagonist. [...] Her ambitious nature outshines that of her spouse / kidnapper, King Richard, to the point where she begins to call the shots in the kingdom without any input from her hubby. [...] But she's still depicted as being capable of love. She's actually a complex character with complex motivations, and while she's obviously terrible, she earns sympathy.

Text document

Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elisabetta -Isabella for short- is a young woman of color and heir to the kingdom of Valencia. She describes herself as “small and cute and ethnically hard to pin down.” [...] Her life is dictated by her loyalty to her family and her kingdom as she strives to save her parents from the clutches of King Richard. She's also “all about the deconstruction of the princess trope,” which isn't just lip service to feminism. She's shown as a capable fighter. She holds her own in battle. She singlehandedly tries to rouse a volunteer army (armed with pots and pitchforks) to fight in the Season 2 finale.
