7: Snow White
Seven. See what I did there?
Founding Disney Princess, Snow White has the rightful heir to a throne cast down by her stepmother, threated due to vanity and forced to escape, taking refuge with Dwarfs (not Dwarves) and saved from apparent death by true love’s kiss.
This story has had plenty of deconstructions and reconstructions, including Snow White And The Huntsman taking direct influence from Warhammer Fantasy as well as Snow White: A Tale Of Terror, several central roles in Once Upon A Time, and the recent live-action-ish Disney remake.
(There’s always been some horror in the mix, the Disney version models the Queen’s transformation on Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde.)
How much agency Snow has varies from version to version - the Disney version is actually pretty active, though she doesn’t get into any sword fights.

| But you can still get miniatures for them. (This set is from the 40s or 50s.) |
Also there’s a kinda evil or just unhelpful magic mirror. I’m all about that.
Who Is The Fairest
A vain monarch takes against one of the PCs or someone close because they just happen to be better at something the monarch takes pride in. Reason to drive them out, and possibly a self-perpetuating problem...
