Eilonwy

Princess Eilonwy is a main protagonist in Disney's 1985 feature film The Black Cauldron. Although she is in fact a princess like Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle and the others, she is not considered an official Disney Princess due to the film's bombing at the box office.

Personality
Princess Eilonwy is about 12 years old. She is young, brave, beautiful, heroic, and headstrong and thinks of Taran as foolish. She is slender and fair-skinned. She has blue eyes, blonde hair from her head to her buttocks, black band on the back of her hair, black, red, and pink dress with white sleeves and petticoat, and black shoes. At the end of the movie, the two fall for each other.

Role of the film
In the film, the Horned King kidnaps her in hopes that her magic bauble could find the Black Cauldron. She and Taran first meet in the lower ruins under the Horned King's castle (once the home of King Rhitta). There, the 2 come across the mystic sword, Dyrnwyn and free Fflewddur Fflam from his imprisonment. The group of friends later travel to the realm of the Fair Folk (thanks to Gurgi who didn't lie to Taran and the gang) and reunite with the pig Hen Wen. The King of the Fair Folk sends Doli with them as an escort to the Marshes of Morva to retrieve the Cauldron. After they recieve the Cauldron by trading away Dyrnwyn, they are captured again by the Horned King who then unleases the Cauldron Born. After Gurgi sacrafices himself into the Cauldron, the friends trade the Cauldron back to the Witches of Morva in exchange for Gurgi back. The bargain is granted, and Eilonwy and Taran end up kissing each other.

Trivia

 * Eilonwy is not included the Official Disney Princess line-up or in any of the merchandise. This is most likely due to the film's poor performance at the box-office.
 * In the novels of The Chronicles of Prydain, Eilonwy had a habit of running around barefoot. Pre-production artwork for The Black Cauldron shows that the Disney's version of Eilonwy was to be a barefooted as well.
 * The character of Eilonwy in the books is described as having red hair, but is featured as being a blonde in the film.
 * Eilonwy's bodice switches from the color black to a light blue violet throughout the scenes she is featured in.
