Hime

Hime is a Japanese word that translates to "princess." It is a term of address used for a daughter of the Emperor or a member of the Imperial family. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to a young lady of noble birth. In popular culture, "hime" is often used to refer to characters in anime, manga, and video games who embody certain archetypes of femininity, often associated with beauty, grace, and sometimes a touch of melancholy or aloofness. These fictional characters may or may not be literal princesses in their respective stories. The concept of a "hime" character often draws upon traditional Japanese ideals of feminine beauty and behavior, while also incorporating modern narrative tropes. The visual representation of a hime character typically includes elegant clothing, often with flowing hair and delicate features. Their personality can range from demure and kind to proud and commanding, depending on the specific character and narrative.
