Hi everyone!

Recently, I đã đăng a câu hỏi asking những người hâm mộ to danh sách five personality traits most desirable in a Disney princess. My traits poll, which was going to be the foundation of this article, was based on TheMusicalMolls' danh sách of traits; the first response. I didn't bother to check my câu hỏi again for other responses, but when I returned to my câu hỏi after I đã đăng the poll, I was surprised to see that thêm những người hâm mộ had bothered to answer my question. At that point, it was only a handful of people, and since I found their lists highly similar to TheMusicalMolls', I let it be. I hope I didn't insult anybody in doing this.

But then I returned to my câu hỏi this morning, because my những thông tin cập nhập đã đưa ý kiến that thêm people had answered my question. I was really astounded at the number of people who bothered to answer; I have to admit, being my pessimistic self, I wasn't expecting thêm than two hoặc three people to acknowledge my question.

So I switched gears. I'm going to base this bài viết off the most commonly stated personality traits in the các câu trả lời to my question:


Kindness/ Compassion – 9 times

Plain, everyday kindness in Disney princesses is truly important, and những người hâm mộ realize that. I see so many những người hâm mộ of the early DPs, whom I think are largely defined bởi their kindness, in this club. It's lovely to see that. It's also part of being a Disney princess to exercise compassion and help and protect those at a disadvantage - Snow White straightened up the dwarves' house because she believed they were orphans, and I tình yêu her for that.


Bravery/Courage – 8 times

It's easy to see that we value courage in a DP both in fanpop and in the outside world. Mulan, often at hoặc near the hàng đầu, đầu trang of fans' DP rankings, not only saved China from the Huns, but voluntarily enlisted in the Chinese army knowing she could be killed, marking her as one of the most courageous Disney princesses. Ariel and Rapunzel, who constantly have những người hâm mộ supporting them, both found the courage to follow their dreams.
I was also surprised to see that Tiana seems to be gaining popularity, going off of my gần đây polls. On one, she is admired thêm than Mulan, and on the yêu thích Disney Princesses poll, she has outdone Mulan. Although she may not be the most outgoing hoặc sociable princess, people realize that it also takes courage when you're working to make your dreams come true, to keep going.


Selflessness - 6 times

It's also pretty evident that we value selflessness in Disney Princesses. Mulan and Belle, two of the most được ưa chuộng DPs, both give up something for their fathers' safety. And the Converse also applies - we don't appreciate selfish Disney Princesses. This is seen in the criticisms of Elsa, one of the least được ưa chuộng DPs in Fanpop, and in the criticisms of Ariel, still a được ưa chuộng DP.


Intelligence/ Common Sense – 5 times

It's pretty obvious that having a head on your shoulders is something những người hâm mộ value highly. Mulan, one of the thêm được ưa chuộng DPs in this club and often on the hàng đầu, đầu trang of people's lists, has a very inventive and analytical mind, while Belle, whose literacy and level-headedness has been emphasized time and time again, remains beloved bởi many.


Cheerfulness/Optimism – 4 times

The importance to những người hâm mộ for a Disney princess to uphold a positive, cheerful attitude is shown in many fans' tình yêu for Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Anna, to name a few. Both Snow White and Lọ lem endured an abusive childhood, and get a lot of appreciation for this from những người hâm mộ here. And Ariel, Rapunzel, and Anna have infectious cheer and bubbly personalities that charm everyone around them.



We all wish that we had a little thêm of these traits. The Disney princesses just represent the people we could be and the lives we could live if we did.
