I was planning to write this once and STILL haven't done it yet because it's very hard to say what Merida post-character development would like.
1- Pocahontas? I think she'd not be in love with any of them really, but she would like some at least in a superficial way. Poca has all the freedom and privilege Merida would wish she could've had without having to fight so hard for it, and she's so connected with nature. she's a fighter but might respect that Poca didn't need to accomplish as much as she did with fighting.
2- Mulan. Not her personality at ALL, mind you, they're like fire and water and she would probably find Mulan a bit dull (except for the scenes with her dad or standing up to someone) but she'd love her skills and find her amusing.
3- Jasmine. A bit too girly and dependent on Aladdin in her view perhaps but VERY fiery and assertive, particularly towards suitors, especially given how sheltered she is, which Merida would like.
4. Anna. Obviously she wouldn't like how quick Anna is to get engaged but her feistiness, bravery, humor, she'd like all that. she would obviously relate a lot to Anna trying to fix the problems, and love when she punches out Hans.
5. Snow White. Definitely her favorite of the three Classics, because she faces all her bad circumstances only crying once, she's very frank and assertive, not afraid to work as a maid with seven messy guys despite her royal upbringing, loves animals, and is one of the funniest princesses. she's very girly, naive, and romantic, which of course Merida wouldn't care for, but she might find her amusing and at least tolerable.
6. Rapunzel. Merida would like her willingness to try new things even when she's scared of the world, her manipulating Flynn, how adventurous she is swinging off a cliff and such. But she would find Rapunzel way too passive and not understand why she stayed so long if she wanted to leave, nor would she like that she doesn't leave for her freedom or anything, she just sneaks out to see the lanterns for one day. She might have a love-hate thing going on with Rapunzel.
7. Cinderella. She'd just find her boring. She wouldn't dislike her, just feel neutral (pre-development Merida most likely would dislike her, however). At least she likes animals, and Merida would probably find her snark funny. Not to mention she'd probably say, "Well, at least she's the only one of the three who didn't pine after a lad!"
8. Belle. I thought about putting her before Cinderella but decided not to because while Merida wouldn't really care for Cinderella, she wouldn't hate her, and while she would like Belle's stubbornness, refusal to marry Gaston, and her closeness with Maurice, I think she would strongly dislike parts of her personality. Like with Elsa, they just have no shared interests at all, which I think would be somewhat important to Merida. Belle is calm, ladylike, and doesn't make a scene even when she's furious. Merida is none of that. (more in comments)
