Hey! So small suggestion. I know you said that her being picked as princess was entirely random at a ball/celebration. Maybe you could make it less random. I know some religions pick leadership in very special ways, for example the Dalai Lama is picked right after the last Dala Lama has passed and is chosen if they live under a certain star. (I could be wrong on this) But the point is that a young boy or baby is picked because they display a certain characteristic and they are taken to the temple to be trained as the next religious leader.
Maybe your character had a certain characteristic or skill that royal officials caught onto and that's how she became the princess after the last princess/queen/king either passed away or gave up their title.
