Link your character to a movie / tv show character.
;; As cheesy as it sounds the first person to come to mind is Rapunzel from Tangled. Even before royalty she had a life and she enjoyed it. Sure Rapunzel didn't refuse the chance to be royal but in addition they both have similar personalities. They have a naivety to living the royal life and they're both sweet and caring. I don't know they're both just similar to me.
