I'd be interested in practically all of those, but as it would be both confusing and exhausting to attempt then all at once I'll pick a few that particularly appeal :P
1) Because I'm never not in the mood to discipline a bratty princess. Especially one who- as you describe it- is attempting to drive her prince away with by sheer force of petulance. It seems like it'd be suitably fairytale to have her be like...legendarily badly behaved and to have driven a string of former suitors away before she ends up betrothed to my character.
(3) Because the idea is just cute. And public humiliation is kind of one of my things. A spanking solo in place of a guitar solo. And given they're both sort of "In character" at the start the transition from performance to punishment should be fun to write.
(6) Nature spirits are notoriously irritable. Dig up the wrong thorn bush and they'll curse you for years. So this seems plausible. And the bondage aspect appeals. We'd need to decide if your character is basically innocent- she did something a human wouldn't even be aware was forbidden- or if she was willfully doing something everyone knows better than to do - stealing flowers from a sacred spot because she thinks they'd look prettier on her as an accessory :P - or it could just be complete disregard for nature, the remains of a picnic dumped in the woods because she couldn't be bothered to tidy it up, or a campfire left unattended that's spread out of control. That last one might mean he/it has to save her from her own recklessness before any punishing can be done.
Which one it is would help define my character. If she's more innocently wandered into a strange and painful situation he/it would likely be more capricious and strange, perhaps even playful about things. Whereas if she's done something to actually like...merit scolding then more stern and a bit less mysterious would make sense.
We could combine (9) and (8). A thief breaks into a seemingly abandoned home only to find that it's haunted and she's now stuck with a ghost who'll follow her everywhere she goes and punish her for any attempt to continue her life of crime. Given other people can see and hear her reactions but not him the possibilities for humiliating incidents in public are pretty much endless. :P
If you're interested in writing with me then I'll leave it to you to pick which of those you'd most like to start with.
