Princess Merida is the protagonist of the 2012 Pixar film, Brave

Background

Personality

Merida is the adventurous eldest child and daughter of Queen Elinor and King Fergus and is a very bold, brave, daring, courageous, stubborn, rebellious, and headstrong girl who does not fit the stereotypical princess role. Rather than being a damsel in distress, Merida does not need a man to save her and doesn't need one to marry her. She actually is one of the few Disney princesses who uses a weapon throughout her full movie.

As a young girl, Merida was close to both her mother and father, and loved the legends her mother told her, even believing in the will o' the whisps and out of idle curiosity, ran to chase them one time. Growing up in DunBroch, Merida became an adventurous girl with a spunky spirit and willfulness to dedicate herself to her family. As she grew older, she sometimes got into quarrels with her mother. Merida did not like to act like a princess and was more of a tomboy. In fact, Merida's favorite days was doing whatever she wanted.

Merida is also in the likliness in her father, as being unruly, impulsive and loud, but Merida also has her mother's stubborness and her brother's mischevious spirit. After her adventure with freeing her mom from a dreadful curse, Merida became more level-headed, and easily managed to talk out of marriage and let the other men chose their own paths. By the end, when it comes to family, Merida realizes there is nothing more important than being surrounded by the people she loves and who love her back.

In the end, the bond with her mother is re-formed and her family's relationships strengthen.
