Hi everyone!

Recently, I 发布 a 问题 asking 粉丝 to 列表 five personality traits most desirable in a 迪士尼 princess. My traits poll, which was going to be the foundation of this article, was based on TheMusicalMolls' 列表 of traits; the first response. I didn't bother to check my 问题 again for other responses, but when I returned to my 问题 after I 发布 the poll, I was surprised to see that 更多 粉丝 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 问题 this morning, because my 更新 说 that 更多 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 更多 than two 或者 three people to acknowledge my question.

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


Kindness/ Compassion – 9 times

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


Bravery/Courage – 8 times

It's easy to see that we value courage in a DP both in 潮流粉丝俱乐部 and in the outside world. Mulan, often at 或者 near the 最佳, 返回页首 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 迪士尼 princesses. Ariel and Rapunzel, who constantly have 粉丝 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 最近的 polls. On one, she is admired 更多 than Mulan, and on the 最喜爱的 迪士尼 Princesses poll, she has outdone Mulan. Although she may not be the most outgoing 或者 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 迪士尼 Princesses. 花木兰 and Belle, two of the most 流行的 DPs, both give up something for their fathers' safety. And the 匡威 also applies - we don't appreciate selfish 迪士尼 Princesses. This is seen in the criticisms of Elsa, one of the least 流行的 DPs in Fanpop, and in the criticisms of Ariel, still a 流行的 DP.


Intelligence/ Common Sense – 5 times

It's pretty obvious that having a head on your shoulders is something 粉丝 value highly. Mulan, one of the 更多 流行的 DPs in this club and often on the 最佳, 返回页首 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 由 many.


Cheerfulness/Optimism – 4 times

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