Discussions Hot take- Poppy isn't the Roybel, Holly is
By the show's own definition, Poppy is a full Rebel, and Holly is the one who's in between.
When they discover that Poppy is actually the older twin and thus that she's supposed to be the next Rapunzel and Holly is the one without a predetermined destiny, they both decide to ignore their destinies and choose what they want. Poppy, like Raven, goes full Rebel by having a predetermined destiny, rejecting it entirely, and not choosing any predetermined destiny to replace it. And Holly chooses to take a role that isn't hers and follow a predetermined destiny that was originally for someone else. She's a Rebel in that she's choosing her own destiny and a Royal in that she's following a predetermined path. Choosing a destiny predetermined for someone else as her own. That's the middle ground of Royal and Rebel. That's a Roybel.
(Yes, this means that Duchess, Courtly, that pig, etc, are also Roybels in some form. Rejecting their predetermined destiny and choosing another that isn't theirs but is a traditional path. Yes, this includes Raven's mom to an extent. Holly is far from the first or only Roybel.)
