This is what I think Merida's princess lista would be if she were fan of Disney Princesses. We will never know for certain what Merida's princess lista would be, but we can make general assumptions. I think while some of te may not agree with every placement, the general ranking of who would be at the bottom, middle , and superiore, in alto of her lista will be the same in all of our opinions:) Thanks to wavesurf for helping me out!
10. Aurora
Predictably, Merida wouldn't have a taste for the classic princesses. Aurora would likely be in last place. Merida's main gripe against Aurora would be that she let herself be taken da the fate back to the castello and never tried to fight for what she wanted. She wouldn't see it as a noble sacrifice, rather Aurora just lacking a backbone. Aside from this, Aurora mainly sings about romance and wanting someone and wanders in the forest without any plans of action which would really get on Merida's nerves.
9. Snow White
Like Aurora, Snow White sings about wanting her prince and just waits for him to come. Merida would be frustrated that Snow White doesn't try to fight against the Evil Queen o make an attempt to stand up for herself. Snow White would also remind Merida of the perfect princess that she is supposed to be-delicate, dainty, and passive. Merida would only like her più than Aurora because she's a little più take charge and active, but not da much.
8. Cinderella
The main reason why Cenerentola would be above Snow White and Aurora is that she isn't as romance focused as the prior two princesses, and also makes some efforts to chase her dreams. She wouldn't care for the fact that Cenerentola was rescued da the mice and the prince, and mainly would grow impatient that Cenerentola never talks back to her stepfamily, but she would have some understanding of why.
7. Belle
Merida wouldn't have a dislike for Belle like she does her bottom 3, but she wouldn't like that Belle laments living in the town but doesn't run away, and she would probably implore Belle to escape the Beast's castello instead of keeping her promise. She wouldn't necessarily dislike Belle, but not have a fondness for her calm and proper demeanor. She would admire how Belle talks back to the Beast and especially appreciate how Belle constantly rejects Gaston, even to the end.
6. Tiana
Merida would like that Tiana mainly cares for building a restaurant and has zero interest in finding romance (at first) -- and yes, would also like that Tiana is a cooking dato Mer's fondenss for food. Merida would Amore the passion that Tiana puts into her work ethic and recipes, but may find Tiana a bit of a stuffed shirt. Once Naveen becomes involved in the story, however, Merida's opinion on Tiana would become less favorable.
5. Rapunzel
I think Rapunzel is where Merida would start to Amore the princesses. Merida would Amore Rapunzel defying Gothel, and would relate to the oppressive mother storyline (although she wouldn't really compare Elinor to Gothel), and maybe even realize how much worse Rapunzel had it than her. She would enjoy the story of Rapunzel finally leaving her tower and chasing after a dream that doesn't seem particularly important. She may, however, find Rapunzel to be too naive, insecure, and hesistant to place her any higher; she may also find her too excitable and hyperactive.
4. Jasmine
Merida would Amore that gelsomino is so up front and demanding of what she wants. She would adore that gelsomino doesn't let herself be treated as a prize because she's a princess, that she calls Aladdin on his lies, and that she always has a witty comeback o snappy remark. Merida would admire Jasmine's tenacity, longing for freedom, and refusal to get married unless it's for love. The only downside to Jas for Mer would be how she is less active and decisive than her superiore, in alto 3 princesses. gelsomino breaks out of the castello one time and doesn't succeed in staying free.
3. Ariel
Merida and Ariel have a lot in common besides the wild ruby curls. Both have parents they feel are oppressing them, both make a risky deal with a witch, both aren't living up to the standards and rules their parents want them to. She would literally Amore every damn thing about Ariel exCEPT that Ariel sold her voice to Ursula AFTER Eric. She would want Ariel to have done that before she met Eric. Mer simply is not interested in romance at this point in her life.
2. Pocahontas
Mer would like Poca for her authenticity and her defiance towards tradition, and seeking another path. She would Amore that Pocahontas isn't pressured da others to do anything besides what she wants to do, and that she is able to empower others to change their minds as well. Mer would like that Pocahontas enjoys a lot of physical risks like kayaking down rivers and jumping off of cliffs, and has a passion for being outside in nature.
Mulan
Merida would have a strong connection to Mulan. They both have incredibly close relationships with their father, are highly skilled at various weapons, and both feel troubled because they don't live up to their parents' expectations-- she would especially understand Mulan's pain in being forced to marry. Merida would also adore that Mulan doesn't fit into traditional gender o societal roles, and that she saves all of China through her intellect, risk taking, and physical prowess.
10. Aurora
Predictably, Merida wouldn't have a taste for the classic princesses. Aurora would likely be in last place. Merida's main gripe against Aurora would be that she let herself be taken da the fate back to the castello and never tried to fight for what she wanted.
