Welcome to the last of the classic Mary Sue tests. This one is going to be difficult, since Aurora has so little screentime and personality. But I'll try my best.


Unique traits without contacts 或者 hair dye- Yes. It's hard to gauge Aurora's exact eye color, but she seems to have 紫色, 紫罗兰色 eyes, which is definitely unique (and not even natural). Since it's not a natural trait in real people, it's getting a full point. 1.
An odd name- No. 'Aurora' is probably the most normal name of the classic princesses, and not that out there. Even Briar Rose isn't that unusual.
Looks constantly 评论 on- Definitely. It's literally her nickname (which 更多 people recognize her 由 than her actual name), and one of the gifts she was given. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- No, only Phillip.
Gets into the relationships she wants- Yes. Like Snow White, she literally sings a song about wanting her prince. 1.
Always the hero- ...I'm seeing a pattern here with the classic princesses.
No flaws 或者 any flaws addressed 或者 called out on- Yes. Aurora doesn't have many personality traits, let alone flaws. Even touching the spinning wheel, unlike Snow White eating the apple, isn't a flaw since she was hypnotized. 2.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- That's most of Aurora's character. 2.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- I guess? Phillip immediately loved her just after watching her, though that's the case for all the classic princesses. She doesn't interact with many other characters, aside from the 精灵 who of course would 爱情 her. 2.
爱情 and trust from closed-off characters- No. The only one in the film is Maleficent, who definitely doesn't.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Kind of. The 精灵 are portrayed as bumbling in comparison to her gracefulness. 1.
A rival to make her look good- I wouldn't call Maleficent her 'rival' (they don't compare traits like beauty even one-sidedly like Snow White and the evil queen). But she does go after her and look scary and threatening in comparison to her gentleness, so... .5
Never fails- Yes, but she didn't try to do much. She succeeded in meeting someone (not just in her dreams) and ending up with him. She didn't succeed in avoiding the spinning wheel, but she was hypnotized. 1.
Never injured- I guess not, she pricked her finger on the spinning wheel and died- sorry, I mean, 'fell into a deep sleep'.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Not really. She didn't earn her happy ending as much as the other classics, but she didn't do much not to deserve it either.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- Definitely not. We don't see any of her skills, not even skills she's bad at like the fairies.
Always figures things out- No. She didn't figure out the 精灵 were lying to her for her whole life.
Kind but deadly- No. She's kind (supposedly) but not at all deadly.
Tragic backstory- Kind of. Almost killed as a baby, separated from her parents, and raised in isolation, though the one thing that undermines this is that her life doesn't seem that tragic and she doesn't consider it such, aside from being vaguely annoyed 由 her guardians treating her like a child. She isn't abused 或者 made a slave like her fellow classics. .5
Skilled in a wide variety of things- Nope.
Contradictory traits- No, mostly because she doesn't have distinct personality traits to contradict.
Always gets what she wants- Yes. It turned out the stranger she fell for in the woods happened to be the person she was betrothed to, after she cried about not being able to see him again. Aside from that, like Snow, I can't remember anything else she wanted. 1.
Rarely shows negative emotions- I guess not. She does break down upon finding out she's a princess and her guardians have been lying to her (and 更多 importantly, that she can't see Phillip again), when she could've gone along with it with a smile (which would be less realistic).
A resurrection- Yes. 1.

That's 14 out of 24. It sounds like she's the least Sue-ish of the classic princesses, but that's mostly because she doesn't have much personality, which is also a Sue trait. All of the classics are bordering on Sue, though I still maintain that 灰姑娘 is the most realistic. All of them fit the "angelic" category, since they're meant to be "the perfect princess". Don't know who I should do next, but I'll probably do Gary Stu tests for male characters and tests for honorary princesses/non-princesses.

You'll notice that characters created around the same time as each other tend to share traits that are 流行的 at the time 或者 big with the artist/director/etc who works with them.

However, I'm not here to talk about personalities. Those have already been covered 由 many interesting authors who explore the topics far 更多 effectively than I could. What I want to talk about is common overarching themes I have noticed in each generation of princesses.

Classic Princesses

A common theme with the first three 迪士尼 princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora) I think is maintaining hope and optimism...

Well, as promised, here my thoughts. Careful, though, I intend to go into great detail about the movie. If 你 haven’t watched it yet, I suggest to leave, 或者 this will ruin the experience for you. I also warn 你 if 你 爱情 the movie. For me, it was very much a mixed bag, and I will mostly try to figure out why I wasn’t as 着魔 as I was and still am of my favourite 迪士尼 Princess Movies.

1. The Animation

Let’s start with the positive: The 动画片 is gorgeous! When I saw the scene with the ship sinking in the storm, I kept thinking “wow”. And the snow scenes…let’s put it...
