Three fairy spells,
Two lucky pals,
and the wisdom of an old tree.
Another day, another page for the calendar. And unlike the last one, this one was kind of a headache for me. Remember a while back when I asked you which princess fits which months? Most of you felt that Merida belongs into autumn because of her red hair. Thing is: I already had three princesses for autumn. In addition, I don't think that Brave is actually set in fall, I think it is either spring or summer during the movie. So I hope that you are not too disappointed that I ended up putting her into March:
Part of the reason was the holiday I picked for March. Yes, I know, Merida is from Scotland, St.Patrick's Day is an Irish celebration. But at least there are shared Celtic roots between those two cultures, which made Merida a better pick to represent this particular month than any other princess. Plus, I was actively looking for a Scottish holiday which is celebrated at least in the whole of Scotland at a specific day and came up mostly blank. The highland games, which come pretty close to what is shown in Brave, don't happen on a specific day, but are spread out over spring, summer and early autumn, with events happening in different cities to different times. So all in all, this calendar page is a little bit of a compromise, but I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. And the wallpaper, which are already uploaded in the image section. Oh, and I naturally did an icon with Merida in St. Patrick's Style, too.
The gold version of her was another headache, because there simply aren't any pictures of Merida wearing gold. I hope, you enjoy the solution I came up with.
And I naturally did a "name only" version, too:
The goddess I felt would be best represented by her is Artemis/Diana. So behold, Merida, the goddess of hunt and the wilderness. Also of chastity which I guess, would fit Merida, but let's not go overboard, I don't think that we need a goddess of chastity in modern times. Maybe the goddess of proud singles instead?
Finally I created a banner. Frankly...not my best work. I just have trouble to work with material from Brave. But I hope you enjoy it nevertheless.
The Redesigns
Okay, so a lot of people have been doing these, and I wanted to write a new article before I finished my countdown of the smartest Disney Princesses, so I'm going to be doing this. Anyways, keep in mind this is just my opinion. Enjoy the article! :)

She may be my favorite Disney Princess, but I am definitely not a fan of her design. In my opinion, her face is completely changed, it's made sort of chubby, with more rosy cheeks. Her hair looks different, and I do like the outfit, but I don't think it suits her, I don't think her appearance is unappealing to look at or anything,...
