Have you noticed this thing where when a type of character appears in story enough, they become dissociated from the actual nature of the original character type? E.g. being a cartoon cowboy does not imply that one is a young man who runs cattle. It's about a set of clothes and a gruff attitude. A pirate strictly speaking no longer needs to be engaged in any kind of violent robbery. A princess is someone young with a crown, but may not really need a monarchy they are in line for.
