Princess Savina (LD Stories)

Princess Savina is one of the main human characters from the original cartoon show; her official Wiki page is here. She is a character within The Reluctant Dark Knight series, which crosses over into the Expanded Animated Universe.

Background Information
Straight from the Wiki: She is the princess of the kingdom ruled by her uncle (simply called the King), who is aware of the Smurfs' existence. She is a red-headed young woman who is not always content to remain in the tutelage of Dame Barbara and learn how to sew and pour tea - "proper princess" etiquette, basically. She is an expert marksman, horse rider, and archer (practicing when Dame Barbara isn't around).

Fanon: She first reappears in the Season 10 Finale as a supporting character in the King's castle and meets a valiant young lady from a southern kingdom.

Friends in the Royal Court
She is good friends with Sir Johan and the court jester, Peewit - the only two people who know what she really thinks about being "proper." She has a mutual attraction to the young knight since they have so much in common, but doesn't express her feelings beyond friendship.

Meeting and Relationship with Falla
As stated above, she doesn't really give much regard to Falla when Johan introduces her to the court and is seemingly indifferent to her existence that she is put to work as a spare seamstress, messenger, etc. However, she gradually becomes jealous of her as time passes because she can go out with Johan and Peewit and isn't contantly expected to be a "proper" princess like herself.

In an effort to dissaude the risk of becoming rivals over such matters, she starts to converse with her between lessons, and soon learns that Falla had assumed she was an "airhead" as she had assumed Falla to be a "vagabond." Soon their relationship develops and their small talk turns from "proper etiquette" to personal goals and interests, thus helping them discover how much they have in common.

Although Dame Barbara tends to withhold them from any deep bonding periods, putting priority into Savina's "proper princess" lessons, Savina actively tries to engage with Falla, to which she responds positively almost every time.

Deepening the Bond
After losing Johan to the side of evil, Savina is devastated; him being her closest companion, this tragedy strikes her especially hard. Falla notices this and offers comfort, which she accepts and returns as necessary. Falla then assumes his role alongside Peewit, serving the King, and strengthens her friendship with Savina once Dame Barbara permits her as a priority - having an understanding of their circumstances. During this time that Johan is evil, they develop a deep sisterly relationship and are comfortable in each other's presence enough so to admit their vulnerabilities as well as their future speculations.

Season 10 Episodes
Savina appears as a minor supporting character within Season 10 in episodes pertaining to the RDK Storyline.

Moxette's Crazy, Stupid Love - Ep. 49
With no major speaking role, Savina first appears being led by Dame Barbara for a garden lesson, which Peewit finds "useless." Later on when they try bringing a human Moxette to her uncle, she inquires about her from Johan while Dame Barbara hauls her off to have her "properly redressed."

Kiddie Crushes - Ep. 59
She has a minor role, but makes a direct appearance when Dame Barbara leaves her studies in the garden, so she attends to Johan and Peewit as they discuss his trouble with Denisa. Once they are settled, she turns to Johan and asks him about having kissed Moxette.

The Reluctant Dark Knight - Season Finale
As only a supporting character in The Reluctant Dark Knight, Savina appears here and there to give her two cents about what's going on throughout the story. When Johan is stolen for the side of Evil by Gargamel and Scruple, she is one of the most devastated members of cast.

Appearance
Savina's most common attire is a gown with puffy pink shoulder pads, white sleeves, a black torso piece with a U-cut white band, and long pink tresses reaching her ankles. Her little black flats are extenuated by a black headband with a yellow circle at her forehead. She wears her orange hair parted down the middle and rolled up in tight buns that hide her ears (similiar to Princess Leia of the Star Wars franchise). She has pale skin, standard black eyes, and red lips.

When she's not dressed as royalty, she sports a rustic red long-sleeve tunic with a peaked collar (much like Johan's), a dark red waist belt, pine green leggings, and calf-length brown boots. She wears her hair down and sometimes has either a bow and arrow case or a sword and sheath depending on what she can get away with before Dame Barbara sees her.

Voice Actor(s)
In the original series she was voiced by Jennifer Darling; a latter choice would be Tara Strong, who is known for her many vocal roles including Princess Clara from the adult cartoon series, Drawn Together, Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Numbuh 10 (and others) on Codename: Kids Next Door, and many more.

Another suitable match would be Jennifer Hale, who is known for being Cinderella in both Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, Thorn in Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, Katnappé from Xiaolin Showdown, and many more.
