I hate when people say Merida was a bad fit for the Disney Princess group because she is too headstrong and rebellious. They're just getting both sides of the spectrum: There are the very, almost docile princesses like Snow White at one end; princesses like Anna and Rapunzel that don't actively scream and shout "FREEEDOOOOMMM" but persue things other than the 'docile princess' role, like taking up crafts and sports and all those cool things the two of them can do; and then there's Merida's side -- the rebellious 'I will do what I want and no one will stop me ever' side. The Disney Princess line is attempting to cater to little kids on all ends of the spectrum -- not all girls like the quiet, flittery type, and all Merida was an attempt at was giving viciously active and free-spirited girls a chance to realise they are just as much 'Princess' material like the rest of them. She is far from my favorite Disney princess, but I thought I'd make this more clear.
