Hi everyone!

Recently, I 게시됨 a 질문 asking 팬 to list five personality traits most desirable in a 디즈니 princess. My traits poll, which was going to be the foundation of this article, was based on TheMusicalMolls' list of traits; the first response. I didn't bother to check my 질문 again for other responses, but when I returned to my 질문 after I 게시됨 the poll, I was surprised to see that 더 많이 팬 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 질문 this morning, because my 업데이트 said that 더 많이 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 더 많이 than two 또는 three people to acknowledge my question.

So I switched gears. I'm going to base this 기사 off the most commonly stated personality traits in the 답변 to my question:


Kindness/ Compassion – 9 times

Plain, everyday kindness in 디즈니 princesses is truly important, and 팬 realize that. I see so many 팬 of the early DPs, whom I think are largely defined 의해 their kindness, in this club. It's lovely to see that. It's also part of being a 디즈니 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 사랑 her for that.


Bravery/Courage – 8 times

It's easy to see that we value courage in a DP both in 팬팝 and in the outside world. Mulan, often at 또는 near the 상단, 맨 위로 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 디즈니 princesses. Ariel and Rapunzel, who constantly have 팬 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 recent polls. On one, she is admired 더 많이 than Mulan, and on the 가장 좋아하는 디즈니 Princesses poll, she has outdone Mulan. Although she may not be the most outgoing 또는 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 디즈니 Princesses. 뮬란 and Belle, two of the most 인기 DPs, both give up something for their fathers' safety. And the 컨버스 also applies - we don't appreciate selfish 디즈니 Princesses. This is seen in the criticisms of Elsa, one of the least 인기 DPs in Fanpop, and in the criticisms of Ariel, still a 인기 DP.


Intelligence/ Common Sense – 5 times

It's pretty obvious that having a head on your shoulders is something 팬 value highly. Mulan, one of the 더 많이 인기 DPs in this club and often on the 상단, 맨 위로 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 의해 many.


Cheerfulness/Optimism – 4 times

The importance to 팬 for a 디즈니 princess to uphold a positive, cheerful attitude is shown in many fans' 사랑 for Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Anna, to name a few. Both Snow White and 신데렐라 endured an abusive childhood, and get a lot of appreciation for this from 팬 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 더 많이 of these traits. The 디즈니 princesses just represent the people we could be and the lives we could live if we did.
