Especially how she managed it despite all the years of emotional abuse.

tbh I don't admire that much about her, but I think this one. It's touching, I mean I really love Rapunzel until after this part.

She could've sat in that tower and let Gothel abuse her, but she gathered up enough courage and risked getting into trouble just so she could see the laterns. I admire her for that. :)

Everything.

Most princesses follow their dreams not matter where it takes them, its nice to see the tradition not broken, despite my thoughts on her she wasn't an awful character nothing about her really stuck out to me...except her eyes and hair

It bothers me when people say she was like a 12 year old. I think that is soooooo untrue! She was locked in that tower with no one to look up to but Mother Gothel; of course she's going to be a little naive. She handled Flynn pretty well considering that she hadn't ever seen a man in her entire life (except her father, and she was less than a week old). I think by the end of Tangled she was so mature! And yes, she risked her life for her dreams. She ended up living a Happily Ever After...

Going off to college soon and this will definitely be a problem for me. I have wonderful friends right now that put up with my crazy scatter brain but it will be interesting to see what happens when I'm on my own. I totally admire Rapunzels ability to adapt to new surroundings especially after all the emotional abuse and the fact that she'd been stuck in a tower her whole life.

i love how she finally breaks the rules, and goes to live her dream. :)

all the way

what emotional abuse did she go through before she left her tower

^you must be kidding
