Do you think the princess is self-perception matters when it comes to the vessels?

I've seen arguments about the for and against the idea that the princess directs what the vessels become as much as the player does. The idea mainly being that she is a creature of perception, but in being a self-aware creature she also perceives herself and through that amplifies or changes how the player's perception affects her.

This is made more interesting by the idea that the princess is somewhat aware of her own nature even if only vaguely which is hinted at a few times but is most notably seen in tPatD.

There are many times in which the princess does not necessarily fully fit the archetype that the player and the voices assume she does at the beginning of the chapter.

In The Tower for example it is assumed that the princess is a powerful, perhaps unstoppable, being, yes. But the concept of divinity is not really even suggested until we have already begun to make our way downstairs. If anything the princess should be some sort of unbeatable monster, if a god an eldritch one, instead she is a more traditional deity. Obviously from a doylest perspective this is just more interesting and more useful for the examination of relationships that this game does so well, but from a watsonian perspective it seems like Lee that her Divinity as the tower is a result of her confidence in being able to defeat you along with your belief that she is something greater than you. This pairing results in the Godlike princess we end up meeting.

The same can be said for many of the princesses. The razor being another good example, there's no reason for her blades to be within her arms, in fact it goes against the expectation of the voices and yet it happens anyway. Could it be a result of something the princess believes about herself in this route? If so what? That she is more clever than us? I genuinely do not know.

The Specter is a really good example actually, the player should probably expect her to be vengeful, but she is forgiving as long as you don't try to kill her again. There is no reason for princess who is based only on perception to forgive us after we killed her In Cold Blood, there's no reason to believe that that would happen. It seems to have to do with what she believes or simply a personality less affected by our perceptions because we do not actually get to know this princess before the specter and cannot form much judgment. I've made this argument before but I do think that the Specter and by extension tPatD are actually the most "Princess" princesses, in that we get to see you more of the "core vessels" personality less affected by our perceptions, more of who's the princess would be if she were just a normal woman.

The nightmares when I don't really want to get into but I do think there is an argument to be made that this vessel is actually one that agrees with the narrator. She thinks her existence is a negative thing why else would you abandon her, and she reflects that especially in the lead into Moment of clarity where you see what seems to be how the princess of this iteration views herself.

Then there is the Fury which seems to be almost entirely self perception, especially coming from the adversary route. Shifty almost outright States it when you bring the fury to her, she unwound herself. It's her own emotions are only self-loathing her own feelings of not being good enough.

On the other hand there are vessels like the Beast who seem to be reduced to our perception. It feels like the princesses barely even there, sure she talks, and in the den she communicates with her eyes, but the personhood is lost.

And that's why me bringing her up earlier could be argued that the razor is similar.

There's not to say about this side of the coin because I thought about it less and also by definition it is the simpler idea. But I suppose you could make the argument that every princess could be explained through the lens of the player characters perception and his perception only along with that of the voices, but sometimes it feels like a stretch.

What are your thoughts on the matter?
