Historically she had very little effect on history, or the events of her day. It was only after her death that she was given romanticized status through modern (and fanciful) story telling. Most of (if not all of) the stories and books about her, modernly more so, are fanciful tales based on two historical facts (if that) about her relations with the Jamestown Colony. The 1995 Disney version is so far removed from the facts that it is considered complete fantasy.
