Young Macintosh

Young Macintosh is a minor character in Brave. He is the son of Lord Macintosh, and one of the suitors competing for Princess Mérida's hand in marriage.

Personality
Young Macintosh is confident in himself and his abilities to the point of being unpleasantly conceited. It seems that when Young Macintosh is defenseless during the fight, he is seen fighting with his hands like a cowardly sissy. He is also (like his father) prone to acting melodramatic and does not react well to failure, or even being second best. However, Young Macintosh is otherwise a nice person, as he is apparently friends with Young MacGuffin and Wee Dingwall, who he was in a competition with at the time.

Role in the Film
As the heir to the Clan Macintosh, Young Macintosh became one of the three suitors for Princess Mérida. During his introduction, he showed his bravado by expertly manuvering with his sword, then flexing while striking a pose to impress Mérida, though she was plainly disgusted by him. He took place in the archery contest, and threw a temper tantrum after missing the bullseye.

Later, during Mérida's speach to the Lords about letting their children decide their own fate, Young Macintosh was the first suitor to agree wholeheartedly with the princess' idea. He took part in (unwittingly) hunting down Queen Elinor in her bear form, and was present when she returned to human form.

At the end of the film, he said goodbye to the other clans.
