In her backstory, it's revealed that she actually comes from a rich family in the city and moved to the Jungle at age 14 due to getting kicked out of her family for getting pregnant. She can hunt however and does wear a Fur Bikini. Weda from Haré+Guu, has this appearance but the Jungle society she lives is fairly civilized and not totally disconnected from the Outside world (there are still buses to the city, for example). Cutey Honey: This is one of Honey's transformations in episode 20.The trope itself is older than that, though, with possibly the first example being Rima from W. The trope name ultimately dates to a 1920 silent film serial called The Jungle Princess, but its common usage probably dates from the 1936 film of the same name starring Dorothy Lamour. In science fiction, many a Green-Skinned Space Babe is just a jungle princess with a dye job and a ray gun. While the movie version of the Jungle Princess will let her explorer bring her back to his home and 'civilize' her, the TV version will insist on staying in the jungle, and so our hero will settle down in a nice treehouse and steal kisses from her when she's not busy ordering her lions to savage the occasional poacher. She will find him in the clutch of some local danger (being menaced by her tame leopard is always fun if it's a romantic comedy), rescue him, and romance will ensue. Inevitably she will be single when she first encounters a hunky American or European explorer.
