After being here on Fanpop since few months, my opinions and way of seeing each princess have changed a lot, though not for all princesses. Some have gone from پسندیدہ to least پسندیدہ while some have been on an opposite ride, altogether. A lot has changed as I have grown up and inclusion of other princesses as well in حالیہ times (Frozen and Brave).

So here's my new ranking فہرست of Disney Princess along with the mention of their original ranking prior joining to Fanpop

1. Belle:
When I think of Belle, one word strikes me "whole-hearted" person. She inspires me so much to find balance between ideal and real. She know how to care for others while not neglecting herself. She appreciates kindness and reciprocates the same. She's never mean to anyone, even if she doesn't like them, she'll politely make her stance clear with class and sophistication. She's mature yet she grows to find love in "no prince charming". She's also independent and a free-thinker who is happy with her life, her family and her ہوم yet loves to explore and experience مزید than what her life is about. She is true to other people and most importantly, she's true to herself as well. She is, in my opinion, the most balanced person I can think of.
She's always been my no. 1 ever since I have seen the movie and none of the princesses had been able to shake her from this position



2. Merida:
As I have mentioned in my حالیہ article, she's a strong, passionate and independent woman who wants to explore, even though she may not have a soft demure. She has sharp mind and can keep her head in most situations. She will fight for her heart's desire, if no one will listen but learns to be مزید mature and selfless, when time calls for it. She learns from her own mistakes and that makes her relatable as no one is perfect. Almost everyone gets angry and sorrowful but the best part is she doesn't ever give up - neither on her dreams nor would she abandon her parents for her wish. She's like a real-life teenage image of me, and that's why I simply adore her. She even has hair like me, curly and wild ( I don't have red hair, though, sob sob). I know that in real life, if آپ don't make yourself heard, even the people who love آپ the most will just glide over آپ and chart your life out. She reminds me why it is so important to speak up for yourself in life, despite people thinking of آپ as rude and selfish, while آپ were never so and was just fighting for your heart-felt and truly cherished dream, which wouldn't have hurt anyone if they were to be realized. And I know exactly how it felt to not be understood سے طرف کی the most loved person in your life.
When i first saw Brave, it was like peeping into a mirror from past. I instantly connected with Merida and her connection with her mom and it has made its way in my سب, سب سے اوپر 3 ever since. She has replaced Pocahontas in my original list.



3. Cinderella:
Despite not standing up against her abusive family, I so admire the fact that she didn't let it touch her دل and her soul. She has this unwavering faith in good and believed that the dreams do come true, if آپ have faith in them. I find her unshakable faith so admirable. She's the strongest person I could imagine. And she's so elegant and graceful, I wish I can even get 10% of her elegance. She's the only princess that has often put me to shame from being Merida to Belle to wanting to be like Cinderella. I keep going back to her when i wanted to be مزید polite, مزید kind, مزید graceful, مزید sober in life. Maybe I'll never understand "suffering in silence" but she's the only one also who makes me see that how much courage and control is needed to say things آپ want to say with elegance and yet firmness of steel, which wasn't there in Merida and me at all in younger age. Having کہا that, somewhere i feel bad that real world will eat me up alive if I were to become like her, they'll just roll all over me, so she remains a ذریعہ of a constant inspiration but doesn't become a real person for me.
She was actually one of my least پسندیدہ princess when I was younger, below Aurora. I just couldn't see beyond why she never speaks up against her family and it made me so annoyed all the time. As a personal choice, i'd still speak up مزید than her but i very much admire that she never lose her cool while doing so. As I have matured, I have begun to respect and admire her highly. especially after watching Cinderella III. She does know how to fight back for her rights. She has replaced Ariel in my original list.



4. Mulan:
The "brains with the beauty" princess. She redefines feminism for me. A female must not necessarily be confined یا restricted to work یا behavior as the world has outlined over the years. She is strong, self-reliant, resourceful, astute and courageous yet soft-spoken, humble and modest. And she shows exactly this, while men thinks of themselves better, she thinks of everyone equal, while men defines the role of women in society, she'd work to prove very accurately that they are capable of much مزید and when would honor her with تمغے and rewards, she'd choose to be acknowledged with words. And she's beautiful in most unconventional ways - most simplistic and barely-there. I love her naked look, adorned with nothing. She's who she is, inside out.
She was at no. 3, but has just slipped only one place coz of my personal affinity with Merida.



5. Rapunzel:
I love how she's sweet and funny and clumsy and caring altogether. She's the sweetest princesses of all and i can never get enough of her warm and fun-loving nature. She's still like a child in many ways and i find that very endearing. I love her determination to follow her دل and how naturally she accepts and grows into a situation, handling every sad/frightening situation so effortlessly, making me believe that if آپ put your mind to it, nothing is impossible.
Same as Mulan, she has just come down one place coz of Merida. She was no. 4 originally.




6. Pocahontas:
Apart from her spirituality and her ability to accept others the way they are, without سوالات یا doubts, i don't much relate to her personally. I admire her a lot for her wisdom and for never once losing her cool. She just doesn't score the highest on any quality for me, so she's right in the middle. I like her a lot but i don't love her. She used to be quite high on my فہرست (originally 2) but after watching Mulan, Brave and Tangled, she has come down a lot. And I had begun liking Cinderella much مزید than her.




7. Anna:
Well, she's nice....fun-loving, upbeat, optimistic and caring but I don't find her extraordinarily great. She's a good human being with her qualities and her flaws but she fails to impress me as a character and as a person. The best thing about her is her selflessness and her utter faith in her family, despite how crazy her family may seem to others. She's cute too, but i find Rapunzel to be far مزید endearing than her somehow. She sometimes can be really stupid to me. (Anna lovers hitting me with virtual punches :D). She has managed to push Tiana, Aurora and Snow down.




8. Tiana:
I like her practical, down-to-earth nature but i don't understand why people assume that such people have to be so uptight and arrogant as well. And that straight-out-tone only works with people آپ are absolutely close with, people outside your دائرے, حلقہ do not understand this way of talking, with no courtesy, no pleasing smile to go with, not even a nice word یا gesture to دکھائیں آپ don't intend any wrong - just blurt out the truth. People who know آپ will also understand the intentions, people who doesn't will take آپ for being mean and rude. I was like this too, too blunt, so to say, and I have realized that everyone will not appreciate my unnecessary crisp tone. Mostly I like her some parts of her personality and I dislike her other parts of personality.




9. Aurora:
I cannot imagine living life in isolation, seeing a thriving kingdom from far off distance and never questioning my isolation. On knowing the truth I'll be overwhelmed with anger and hurt and betrayal rather than tears and an eventual obedience. I guess I don't have that kind of submissive obedient bone in my body. I don't mind people like Aurora at all but that's just not the personality I admire the most. So I'm actually quite neutral to her.



10. Snow
I don't think i can get along with someone like Snow, she's too sweet that even if I utter the F word in front of her she'll probably lecture me till i drop asleep یا she'll break into tears for being mean to her. I can't handle people who break into tears one moment and becomes too-happy the next. It makes me think of them as robotic. I can never switch my emotions like this. I also don't enjoy people who excessively lectures someone else. I believe in improving at my own pace, at my own standards. And she reminds me of all the class monitors and exam investigators I've had in my life. And also of those uninvited relatives who just welcome themselves in my ہوم without دکھانا any courtesy and then tell me what's right and what's wrong in my existing lifestyle. Nope, not a big پرستار of Snow, never from the beginning.




11. Ariel:
Once upon a time, she used to be one of my پسندیدہ princess, daring and carefree and who just goes out there to do what she wants to do. But as I've grown up i see less and less of qualities in her that I could admire. She became that child to me who gets bored with her life and her situation way too soon and jumps off to experience اگلے thing. She rarely learns anything long term from her mistakes and hardly sees anything beyond her own dreams. I love her hair, yes, that I do.
(Ariel lovers are shooting arrows at me! Oh, I'm so dead with this. But hey, that's me.) She was at no. 3 originally, Cindy just took her place as I have grown up and honestly the sequels have just ruined all the admiration i had for Ariel earlier, i like her far better from TV series.




12. Jasmine:
Too arrogant, too opinionated, too prejudiced, too sarcastic. I don't like people who are cranky and lazy and does nothing themselves but have an opinion on everything and everyone else. Unappreciative of others while she thinks entirely too much of herself. One of the worst kind of personalities I wanna come across in life. She was always last in my فہرست and only Elsa has been able to make her seem a tad bit better to me. And for جیسمین, یاسمین too, she has much nicer, مزید meaningful personality in TV series than the movie but at least it's not her movie but مزید of Aladdin's.



13. Elsa:
Becoming coward, reclusive and cold towards others is not my way of resolving problems in life. If one advice/solution doesn't work, find other and another till my problem is resolved. Running away is so not my style and i absolutely do not like such people who are too afraid to look at their problems in face and deal with it, especially those who have best of resources in life to solve their issues. I detested that when she ran away, the first thing she thought was to build a shiny new قلعہ and a shiny new dress for herself! That's like super-vain! Can;t she better channel her energies? Okay i should not make this مضمون about Elsa, i do not like her at all, period.




All those who love the princesses as listed in my bottom 5, please don't get offended as آپ know, I may not agree with your bottom 5 as well. It's very much a personal choice and not altogether rational only. It has a lot to do with my personal life experiences, my emotions and how I perceive things in life. Having کہا that, I'd still want to hear from آپ all, as always!
