Tiana, the second oldest, was actually only 19! She had such big plans to open her resturant adn was a very driven young lady. Very, very Impressive of her!
As we know, Rapunzel turned 18 and wanted to go see the lights and... stuff. Her age we know. Also at 18 is the princess Pocahontas.
Next, at only 17, is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She was so mature, brave, and thoughtful, most believe her to be in her 20's, but is actually not so. Belle is very wise for her years- it must be the books...
As said in the movie, Aurora, or Sleeping Beauty, was 16 when she pricked her finger on the spinning wheel. She fell in love and was to be married at tthe time she awoke. At this time, marrige at around 16 was very normal.
Also at 16 is The Little Mermaid herself, Ariel. She was shockingly this age when she sold her voice to an evil witch to gain legs to see a boy she fell in love with.
Merida was also 16 when she was to be married off. At this time, much like Aurora, it was normal for a girl to have such a marrige at this age. Strong-willed Merida was not planning to let that happen, though.
The final 16-year-old was Mulan. She bravely went off to war, dressed as a man, which was a punishable crime, to keep her ingered father from having to go. Long story short she saved the entire country of China. Later, in Mulan II , she married Shang. Again. marrige was normal at this time.
Next up is Jasmine at only 15 years old! Her father is trying to set up his 15-yr-old! For the millionth time, this was normal in the time Aladdin was set.
Youngest of the princesses is Snow White at FOURTEEN YEARS OLD! The was only this age when her stepmother, the Evil Queen, set the huntsman to kill her. Snow White was forsed to run away and she began living with a bunch of Dwarfs. At the end of the film the Prince of another kingdom ( as far as we know) kissed Snow White and he carried her away to the castle where they were to wed. FOURTEEN!
I might slip a cuss word or two, you've been warned. As usual, I'm just going to cut to the chase.
13. Merida
I'm aware of the good things said about Merida, but there are just so many other things that turn me off. Like making an anti-princess Princess was boringly unoriginal on Pixar's part and she basically gives a middle finger to her predecessors and to girly girls in general. To sum it up, I'm just sick of the tough girl archetype she represents.
12. Aurora
I feel like there are Aurora fans who overanalyze her character, basing their interpretation on extremely minor factors....
