'Your favourite Disney Princess tells me everything I need to know about you.'

What if I told you that your favourite Disney Princess tells me everything I need to know about you?

Hear me out.

Disney Princesses have been around for a long time. There are the classics: Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Belle, Aurora and Mulan. These are the Princesses and leading women who brought us up.

As we got older, new Princesses were gifted to us, like Rapunzel, Tiana, Moana and Merida who all embody the same empowering and admirable values. Leading up to Disney's World Princess Week, I thought it was fitting to celebrate them and showcase how they’re connected to us — not only when we were kids but throughout our lives, as those values hold up to this day.

Every now and then, I watch The Little Mermaid (both the animation and the live-action adaptation). There’s something so magical about believing that there is an entire world within our world. The Little Mermaid was the first Disney Princess movie that I became fixated on. Her journey to fight for what she wanted and believed she deserved goes down in history. It’s one of those stories that you can always relate to or find meaning in, regardless of what stage of life you’re in.

And I’m sure that everyone has a similar experience with one or more of the Disney Princesses. Without further ado, here is what your favourite Disney Princess says about you...

Cinderella

If Cinderella is your favourite, you are a classic dreamer (same girl, same). However, your resilience and optimism turn your dreams into reality. Her story of overcoming adversity through kindness and perseverance resonates with those who believe that dreams can come true with a bit of patience and hard work.

Like Cinderella, everyone loves having you around. Your ability to remain hopeful in tough situations is admirable.

Belle

Okay, bookworm girly, I see you. Belle's love for books and her desire for something beyond her provincial life makes me think that you also have a thirst for knowledge and are constantly curious. 

Like Belle, you are often drawn to intellectual pursuits and cultural experiences. You value a deep connection over superficial charm, and you're not afraid of new adventures and experiences.

Ariel

Like Ariel (and myself), you sometimes struggle with following rules. However, it's always done in good faith, especially if you're going out to get what you know you deserve. You have an adventurous spirit and a yearning to travel and see the world. You may have a strong desire to break free from routine and seek new experiences. Like Ariel, you might be driven by a sense of wonder and a passion for discovering new aspects of life, even if it means taking risks.

Jasmine

If Jasmine is your top pick, you are always putting others before yourself. You likely value independence and are not afraid to challenge traditional ideals and views.

Jasmine's desire for freedom to live authentically mirrors your own drive to carve out your unique path. You appreciate fairness and equality and are often passionate about creating positive change in your own life.

Pocahontas

Like Pocahontas, you embody deep connections. You also have a strong sense of harmony. If she’s your favourite, you likely have an appreciation for the world and a desire to live in balance with it. You may also value peace and understanding and will put yourself on the line to mend the relationships in your life.

Mulan

Mulan girlies are a different breed altogether (in the best way possible). If you're like Mulan, your courage and determination to protect the people you love showcase your traits of love and selflessness.

You are also likely someone who faces challenges head-on and values loyalty and honour. You stand up for what you believe in, even if it requires some sort of personal sacrifice.

Tiana

Tiana’s story is one of hard work and determination to achieve her dreams. If you love Tiana, you likely value ambition and practical effort. You might be someone who believes in the power of perseverance and sees the importance of setting realistic goals. You do whatever it takes to achieve your dreams, and your dedication and focus often lead to success in your endeavours.

Just do me a favour — don’t go around kissing random frogs.

Snow White

Our OG queen! If your preferred Princess is Snow White, then I have one question for you: How many cutesy animals are following you right now?

In all seriousness, you have a pure heart and an unwavering belief in the goodness of others. Like Snow White, you likely possess a nurturing spirit and a kind, empathetic nature. You might be someone who finds joy in making others happy, and your friends absolutely love having you around. What a treat you are!
