Honey has the Worse Stranger Danger

I feel like some anime heroines of the 80s kinda followed a trend of spunky teen surrounded by fantastic circumstances.

Honey started as an orphan but when her pet cat swallows a ring belonging to a princess, she becomes the target of all the suitors who were after the princess' hand to begin with including a handsome thief.
What begins is a fantastic journey all around the world, discovering her own birth right and being thrown into all sorts of danger, while she is street smart enough not to give in so easily even when presented with a fortune, she ends up in way more frightening situations, at one point being sold into slavery.
Being part of the coming of age shojo generation that popularised early girls anime, there are about ten other girls with the same personality as Honey.
I'm glad this trend isn't popular anymore and even if the plot is used, it's for much older female characters not 13 years old.
