They were given an official number in the franchise line-up based on the chronological order in which their films were released, starting with Snow White as the first and original Disney Princess, with Cinderella being the second, followed by Aurora and so on.
A recent survey reveals that Cinderella is the most loved Disney princess among Americans, with 13 percent of them expressing their preference for her.
Ariel is at first a rebellious teen, nurturing an interest in another (human) culture while defying her controlling dad, the mermaid-isolationist King Triton. She busts some surprisingly badass moves when she saves Prince Eric from his sinking ship.
The winner is Princess Tiana, who manages to squeeze in a total of nine dresses during The Princess and the Frog. Take that, Queen Bey. Most of the other princesses, meanwhile, come in at five outfits.
In the original fairy tale, the princess actually sleeps for 100 years before she is finally awakened by the prince's kiss; this detail was adjusted for the film in favor of having Prince Phillip introduced earlier, and thus Aurora is awakened much sooner.
Which Disney Princess has the most beautiful hair?
FINAL OPINION: Out of all the princesses, Rapunzel has the best/most iconic hair moments, the best color (because, yes, "glowing" totally counts as a color), and the best hair movement.
Raya is one of the most badass Disney princesses of all time. Not only is she a warrior with serious battle skills, but she essentially goes on a journey to save Kumandra entirely alone.
Ariel. The sweet, innocent young girl from The Little Mermaid had to rank high on this list. The reason for that is that she was completely clueless about the world around her and how things operated.
The only child of an aging war veteran, Mulan disregards both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man in order to enlist herself in the army in lieu of her feeble father. Mulan as she appears in Mulan (1998).
Merida has long, wild, curly, red hair, blue eyes, pale skin and a slender body. Her main outfit is a dark teal-emerald green traditional gown, made of wool, with stylish slits for movement during archery.
Merida and Pocahontas are the only Princesses to not be seen married, or have wedding dresses in the franchise. Belle and a few others were featured in Disney's Beautiful Brides book.
Ariel appears as an adult in Return to the Sea and gives birth to a daughter named Melody, becoming the first, and currently, only, Disney princess to become a mother.
