Art Shift: As with Rapunzel, Merida was given a 2D redesign ◊ in order to fit the Disney Princess franchise.

Although she's certainly skilled with a bow and arrow, she's less calm and composed and more of a Fiery Redhead. In the climax, she gets the better of the three chiefs and her father in close combat.

Action Girl: When confronted with Mor'du, a monster of a bear, she notches an arrow and fires.

It's not the skirt, but the back, shoulders, and sleeves by flexing, which is realistic given the action in question.

Action Dress Rip: During the archery contest, she breaks her dress for easier movement.

Merida is also Pixar's first entry into the Disney Princess franchise, and the first one overall to lack a love interest. She races against time to make right the result of her reckless behavior and mend the bond torn by pride. When Merida blatantly defies an ancient tradition, the consequences of her actions prove disastrous for the kingdom-and especially when innocent bystanders end up affected.
