1. Mulan: She knows exactly what she believes in and if she feels strongly enough, she will stand up for her beliefs. She's quite introverted, insecure and seems to keep her feelings to herself, but she doesn't let her insecurities stop her from achieving what she sets her mind to. She's awkward, clumsy, and although she's lazy, she can work hard when she wants to. She is very smart and quick-witted, which I admire, and is pessimistic and speaks out of line at times. I admire her and I relate to her a lot.
2. Tiana- She is a very strong woman with a strong set of values. She is very well-balanced, personality-wise. Her virtues, when tuned too high, can become her flaws. As with Mulan, I can both relate to and admire her.
3. Pocahontas- Some of her traits contradict each other which makes her more real and interesting. She's strong overall but she has many moments of weakness. I can relate to her shifting between being mature and serious, and playful and childish, as well as her indecisiveness and indirectness, but I admire her bravery.
4. Cinderella- She's sweet, patient and optimistic, but she has that sarcastic, conceited streak that makes her more realistic as a character. She's the definition of true beauty, inside and out.
5. Rapunzel- Despite being inexperienced, isolated and constantly reminded of her flaws, she proves herself to be intelligent, resourceful, strong and truly kind.
6. Jasmine- She is just as realistically flawed as Aladdin is, and her flaws are often highlighted more than her virtues. However, the good in her is evident and she DOES NOT LET AL TREAT HER LIKE A PRIZE TO BE WON. She's the more realistic, more human, and more aggressive version of Belle.
7. Merida- Her flaws are prominent and they make her unlikable, but she develops and fixes her own mistakes. Her faults and mistakes are addressed; she's a more realistic, independent, mature and strong version of Ariel.
8. Aurora- She is very sweet, imaginative and graceful, but even her flaws are shown in her 16 minutes of screen time. She's pessimistic, indecisive and she lacks a backbone. Her flaws are relatable and her virtues are admirable.
9. Belle- Everything she does is meant to be praised. She is the closest to a Mary Sue out of all the DPs. Her flaws are portrayed in such a way that it makes you love her even more, and none of her virtues are exclusive to her.
10. Snow White- She's cute and cheerful, but I think it's strange how a 14 y.o. girl can walk into the house of grown men and treat them like her children. Plus, she doesn't seem to learn from past experiences- she'd almost been killed but she still let's a creepy old woman into the house.
11. Ariel- She's selfish, inconsiderate and although she is very flawed, her flaws are meant to be justified. For example, her trading her voice for legs is often forgiven due to the fact that her father was so harsh with her.
