Disney Princess/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

The official girls of the [[Disney Princess]] line.

== Princess by birth ==

Considered the "fairest in all the land" in her movie, she incites the jealousy of her vain stepmother, Queen Grimhilde. She later runs away with the help of her would-be murderer sent by the queen and befriends the seven dwaves in the woods. Her prince is unnamed, though early production notes had him named Ferdinand, which is good enough as far as the fans are concerned.

* [[And Zoidberg]]: Because of her different singing voice, appearance, and lack of personal activity in her movie, Snow White tends to get hidden somewhat in merchandise. Most notably in their song "If You Can Dream", where they had all the voice actresses singing, plus replacements for Cinderella and Aurora, but Snow White wasn't there, and only appeared in one clip in the music video.

* [[Cinderella Circumstances]]: Although it's never seen quite how the Queen behaved to seduce the king, the Evil Queen certainly follows through with the latter part of the trope, putting her husband's daughter to work, and dressing her in filthy rags to cover her beauty.

She was betrothed to Prince Phillip, a prince of a neighboring kingdom in hopes that both hers and his would be united. She was given the gifts of beauty and song from the fairies Flora and Fauna, but the evil Maleficent cursed her to die on contact with the spindle of a spinning wheel. The third fairy Merryweather mitigated the curse somewhat, changing its effect from death to an enchanted sleep that could be broken by [[True Love's Kiss]], but the fairies took her away to live as a peasant for her safety.

* [[Everyone Loves Blondes]]

* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]: While the curse in [[Disney]]'s adaptation of ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]'' has a 16-year time period to be fulfilled instead of a certain day, the curse was fulfilled on Aurora's 16th birthday, just moments before its time was up.

A rebellious mermaid princess, she desired most to live above the sea, despite her father's wishes. After rescuing Prince Eric, prince of a dry land kingdom, and falling in love with him, she became even more determined to live out of the water.

* [[Action Girl]]: Mainly in her animated series, and her turn as a party member in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.

* [[Almost Kiss]]: With Eric.

Jasmine is the Princess of Agrabah. Rebellious much like Ariel, she refuses to marry of the princes that her father, the Sultan wants her to, and will only marry for love. She later falls in love with a peasant named Aladdin, who later becomes Prince Ali with the Genie's help, unbeknownst to her.

* [[Action Girl]]: Like Ariel, mostly in the animated series, though she was always quite strong.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

The daughter of the chief of the Powhatan tribe in Virginia, she's not xenophobic toward the white colonists, unlike the rest of her tribe. She eventually falls in love with John Smith, one of the settlers, but had to part ways with him. She later falls in love with John Rolfe.

* [[Action Girl]]: Sort of.

* [[And Zoidberg]]: Because of her being in [[Braids, Beads, and Buckskins]], she sort of has a hard time blending in well with the other princesses with their pimped out dresses. As such she is almost always the one who gets cut out of merchandise.

The Princess of Corona. Born of a queen who was healed with the power of a flower born from a drop of sunlight, her hair was infused with its healing powers. She was kidnapped as a baby by a wicked woman named Mother Gothel who desired to use the healing powers to keep herself young forever, and was locked up in a tall tower to keep the kingdom from finding her for eighteen years. However, she manages to convince a [[Lovable Rogue]] who hid in the tower named Flynn Rider {{spoiler|whose birth name is Eugene Fitzherbert}} to show her the outside world, particularly the floating lights that seem to appear every time on her birthday.

* [[Action Girl]]: The first sign of her, in the original trailers, is her beating someone up with [[Prehensile Hair]]. Although this didn't make it into the film, she remains a pretty mean hand with a [[Frying Pan of Doom|frying pan]] and saves Flynn's bacon on more than one occasion.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Cute as a button, but not even the least afraid to talk down angry thugs and angry horses.

* [[You Are Grounded]]

* [[Youthful Freckles]]

=== [[Moana]] ===

[[File:Character Image.jpg|frame|Caption]]

Born to a wealthy rich man who was later widowed, her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was jealous of her beauty in comparison to her own daughters. She was forced to work as a maid under her care after her father died, and she wanted to go to the royal ball that was to be held by Prince Charming. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, she was able to meet and fall in love with the Prince, but not without leaving behind a glass slipper.

* [[Almost Kiss]]: With Prince Charming.

* [[Cinderella Circumstances]]: Obviously.

Born a young French peasant woman who has a thing for reading, her father, Maurice, gets into trouble with a Beast who is a cursed Prince, named Adam. The Beast only releases him when she agrees to stay with him forever. The two later form a bond after the Beast starts to treat her better.

* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: Regarded as odd by the other townspeople for her love of reading and for being the daydreamer that she is; Belle herself has a hard time finding someone other than her father to befriend.

* [[Ascended Fangirl]]

Famous for being the first black [[Disney Princess]], she was born in New Orleans in an all-black neighborhood. She has had a talent for cooking since she was younger, and she aspires to own a restaurant. She meets the exiled Prince Naveen, turned into a frog by voodoo magic, but she too is turned into a frog herself. The two then try to get out of the bayou back to New Orleans.

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]

* [[Brainy Brunette]]

A flighty girl who is the daughter of a retired soldier, and the black sheep of her ancestors. When her father is enlisted for an oncoming war, she secretly takes his place in the field of battle.

* [[Action Girl]]: Enough so that it's probably [[Girls Need Role Models|the main reason for her inclusion in the princess line despite neither being nor marrying royalty]].

* [[Badass]]

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]]. She tries to be a perfect bride in the beginning, but it didn't suit her. However, she has more [[Proper Lady]] traits than you see at first sight. While she's not super ladylike and demure, she fits the inner "core of steel" and "devotion to her family" parts almost perfectly - after all, the reason why she went to war as a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] was not to get glory or escape her family situation, but to save her aging father from sure death.
