It's easy for moms to turn their daughters into princesses for Halloween. But not every girl wants to don a dress and tiara for trick-or-treating. If your little lady wants to be something a little less royal for the holiday, then we have some options for you. From classic literary characters to famous historic females, here are 26 non-princess costumes for your girl. — Additional reporting by Leah Rocketto
