Favorite/Ranking/What I think... about the Disney Princesses
    This is my first article. Something you should know is when it comes to Disney and non-Disney movies, characters, ect. I am very optimistic, very rarely critical to find fault, and take into account all movies (sequels, tv shows, clips, ect.) and books. I think it adds to form a more well rounded idea of the characters.
    My description of each princesses placement is my view on them and why I like them. Seeing as I don't dislike any of them there isn't any negative reason why they are in what position. They are where they are because I love number one most and all the others slightly less as the number increase. So why I like them and how passionate I am about them helps them fit into each placement. So basically what I think about each princess with the number of my favorite for their ranking.

10. Snow White
     I admire her kind gentle nature. She may be 14 but she has all the life skills needed for her time. She can cook, clean, and manage a household. She is innocent and a little naive but that is because she has been sheltered and mistreated her whole life. Being innocent and a little naive is not necessarily a bad thing. In her case these are two of her good qualities. Despite being sheltered and mistreated most of her life she is smart and learns quickly. I think her positive outlook and rosy disposition are remarkable due to her treatment from the evil Queen. When the situation demands she displays she can be firm and unyielding, while being gentle. Her grace and beauty is very admirable.

9. Pocahontas
    I love her free spirit and connection to nature. I think that she would be a good future leader of her people. When the situation demands more from her she does not shy away but shows what she is made of. She strong and passionate. I admire her understanding of who she is and what she wants. When she is in doubt she searches within herself to find the answer and doesn't mull around not knowing.

8. Jasmine
    I like Jasmine for her strong exterior yet soft interior. She is not afraid to speak her mind and let herself be known. I like how she is a princess but when out among her people she isn't conceited and accepts those she meets unbiasedly. I don't find her selfish or excuse me please "bitchy" at all.

7. Tiana
    I admire Tiana for her work ethic and determination. I like how throughout the years she still remained friends with Charlotte. I think she shows great personal growth and opens up to what she had been missing from her father's dream. I like how when she found what her heart was missing that she did not compromise it to achieve her dream first; that she realized her dream meant nothing without Naveen. It would have seen empty without him. One thing I like best about her is that she shows that working for what you want and making wishes go hand in hand. One without the other is not fully complete.

6. Aurora
    Despite the lack of screen time she had I still can see many things about her. She is slightly devious. She is kind, caring, and understanding. She is gentle and graceful. She thoughtful and a dreamer. She is smart and learns from her mistakes. She takes on the role of responsibility well.

5. Ariel
    Ariel is curious and loves adventures. She has her own ideas and longs to explore a different world that facinates her. She is sweet and spunky. She's a dreamer and independent. Even with all her faults (did not mention any but are aware of them) I still like her.

4. Rapunzel
    Rapunzel is a bright child-like princess. She has a thirst for knowledge and life experience, somewhat do to being locked away in a tower her whole life. But I think she would have had that thirst even without being locked away. Her kingdom seemed like it would be very condusive to a creative mind. She shows she is insecure but given support and room to grow she gains confidence and self relience. Her dream is beautiful and I like how she treats others. She is sweet and fun. I like how she is bubbly and usually always happy.

3. Mulan
    Mulan displays to me growing into ones skin. She doesn't fit the typical thought of how a woman should be. She is slightly awkward and crafty. She thinks out of the box and is quick on her feet. She is kind, caring, and smart. She comes into her own when she runs away to save her father's life and pretends to be a man. She follows her heart and does what she feels is right.

2. Belle
    Belle is near and dear to my heart. She loves books and learning more. She dreams of things and places she aspires to go to and see. She is curious, to a fault, and likes to explore. She isn't perfect and shows growth when she is wrong. I know people think she is over-rated but there is just something about her that makes me like her so much. I can't really explain it better than that right now.

1. Cinderella
    Cinderella is my favorite Disney princess. This is a recent change for me before this it was always Belle. But I have come to love and appreciate her more than Belle.
    Cinderella is classic and iconic. I love her work ethic and resiliency. She puts up and looks after her demanding abusive step-mother and her two immature mimicking children. She makes time for herself while managing to juggle the whims and fancies of her fickle step-family. She is kind and compassionate. She still dreams and wishes in spite of things. When she is having her moment at the ball and the clock chimes she doesn't just forget about the magic she knows her time is up and she leaves. I think she balances her fantasies and reality well. She is resourceful and respectful. She is more than she seems. I think she has great depth.
