Feigning weakness seems like a good strategy for the initial intel-gathering phase at least. If you're going to play Nia Teppelin/River Tam/Baby Superman, gotta maintain the cuteness factor by keeping those teeth out of sight.
While you're waiting for the rowdy teens to approach, start rehearsing your backstory. Something about a wicked usurper hunting the true heir to cement his power, guardians heroically sacrificing themselves to conceal you in exile, that kind of thing. Work out the broad strokes and some key names, but don't get bogged down in details. Leave yourself room to improvise as the situation develops. Don't tailor it too closely for sympathy at the expense of logic; whenever your 'rescuers' are wondering whether the wicked usurper might be able to pay them better, or just have his own equally-valid perspective on events, and then berating each other over the very thought of such a betrayal, that's brainpower they're not putting toward questioning whether you're even really a lost princess at all.
Throw in something about royal regalia or suchlike loaded on separate meteors, so you can have an excuse to send your retainers on fetch quests into labs where an alien artifact might plausibly be held for study, or, really, any arbitrary secure facility you claim you can sense the next mystical whatsit inside.
