One of my early drafted stories was of the forced bride variety. A princess was being forced to marry one of her father’s generals. She was not happy as she was in love with the prince from a nearby kingdom.

The story is a fairy tale horror with a twist. As she was a spoiled and horrible person, her father and the prince’s father conspired to hire a knight who would teach her to behave properly become the marriage they intended between the princess and her beloved prince. That knight posed as her father’s general.

Briefly, the pretend general convince the princess that he had kidnapped her prince. The only way to save the prince’s life was to marry the general. Meanwhile, the only way to secure the prince’s freedom was to give the general a son so the future of the kingdom would be secured. In the process of struggling with this bargain, the princess learns what she will do for love as a cure for her being spoiled. Only when marching down the aisle, seeing the false general in the audience and his prince waiting for her at the front of the church, does she realize that she will get the marriage that she wanted.

In trying to brainstorm a name for the princess, I could only think of Varuca as in Princess Wart based on Veruca Salt in Chalie and the Chocolate Factory. I asked Copilot for some other options but Varuca stuck.

Question: What are some names of famous literary characters who were spoiled girls besides Varuca Salt?

Certainly! Here are a few famous literary characters who fit that description:

Matilda Wormwood from Roald Dahl’s Matilda: A precocious and intelligent girl with telekinetic powers who faces neglect and mistreatment from her parents.

Hermione Granger from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series: While not spoiled in the traditional sense, Hermione is a diligent and studious student who can sometimes come across as a bit bossy.

Scarlett O’Hara from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind: A complex character who is both vain and self-centered, Scarlett is known for her boldness and determination.

Bridget Jones from Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary: Bridget is a modern-day character who deals with romantic mishaps and personal struggles.

These characters each bring their unique traits and challenges to their respective stories.

Question: I am more interested in examples of spoiled obnoxious girls. Unfortunately, Veruca Salt is the best example I can think of.

Certainly! When it comes to fictional examples of spoiled and obnoxious girls, Veruca Salt from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is indeed a classic one. Her entitled behavior and constant demands for more are memorable. However, let’s explore a few other examples:

Regina George from the movie “Mean Girls”: Regina is the ultimate queen bee, manipulative, and downright nasty. She thrives on gossip, sabotage, and controlling her social circle.

Blair Waldorf from the TV series “Gossip Girl”: Blair is a privileged Upper East Side socialite who schemes, lies, and manipulates her way to the top. Her snobbish attitude and obsession with status make her a classic example.

Cersei Lannister from the TV series “Game of Thrones”: Cersei is cunning, ruthless, and power-hungry. Her entitlement and willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain her position as queen make her a memorable character.

Cher Horowitz from the movie “Clueless”: Cher is a wealthy, fashion-obsessed high school student who often uses her privilege to get what she wants. Her self-centeredness and lack of empathy can be quite obnoxious.

Remember that these characters are fictional, but they serve as cautionary tales about the dangers of entitlement and self-centeredness.
