The power of words, and Disney Princesses

[Terquem]

How things are said in Disney "Princess" movies

I was reading this article today and found it simply fascinating

Someone, with a lot of talent, and time on their hands, should research Pathfinder APs and see how many words are put into the NPCs mouths (of course we all know that the DM will take what is given in the modules and build upon it, but even so...) and how that is broken down

So after reading this, I thought back to the only AP I have played through full, Mummy's Mask. Its chock full of female speaking NPCs, most of them important.

Female NPC's seemed to dominate the campaign, particularly in roles of relevance. From the lists of NPC's, social interaction takes a plunge in books 5 (1 dungeon and 1 uninhabited ruin complex (other than 4 listed NPCs)) and 6 (5 dungeons). I probably missed something, but at least for Mummy's Mask, female NPC's get the lions share of speaking spotlight.
