I recently added Merida to my favourite princesses list! I just amor her! I had said before that I prefep romatic ones, but that changed with Merida, a free- spirited character, different than others. Merida is amazing, she is Valente and stubbon, headstrong and determined and she follows her heart, no matter what will happen! As she says, she is selfish, but I like her anyway! I amor her hair and how she feels free running and climbing! She learns from her mistakes and she is able, even to marry afterwars for her mother, sonmething that changes. She wanted to change her fate and she learned that without magic, only we can change our fate, to be happy with that we have, she didn't wated her mother to become a bear, she just wanted to change her, por making her mother a urso she shows us to don't want to change that we have, cause look what Merida had done, because she wanted to change her mother, but even when her mother became a bear, Merida was always there for her and she stayed with her. Merida was able even to fight with her father to save her mother and risked everything to save her! In the end of the film Merida and we all change, we mature and be happy with those we 've got, cause the ocean is always greener in somebody's elses lake!
