Jasmine - I think the reason Aladdin and Jasmine were not on Wonderland was becasue Adam and Eddy always intended to have them on the main show. I think they just keep getting pushed into the "for later" bin, and so who knows when they will show up, but I do think they are coming.

Tiana - I think she will show up, especially since they seem to be pulling from more recent Disney features recently. Dr. Facilier would make an interesting villian, and if they are doing him, they are going to do Tiana. At one point, I felt that Tiana could be merged with someone else, like Rupunzel, in a more traditional telling of The Frog Prince, but since they introduced Merida, I think they are planning on having each princess be her own seperate character.

Pocohantus - I'm so torn about her. On the one hand, she is based on a real person, and one with a sensistive topic on top of that. But if we look at the character in the Disney movie, she could easily enough be made to be from a fictional world. Like with Tiana, I once felt she wouldn't have to be on the show, but with Merida being introduced, I think they are trying to get all the official Disney princesses on the show. Maybe to have a princesses save everybody else arc, I don't know.

One final note, notice the remaining princesses that haven't been done yet are all POC's. Make of that what you will. Yes, all the remaining princesses are princesses of color, but they've introduced Mulan, an Asian princess, made Rapunzel a black princess on the show, and had Ariel played by a Latina (a light-skinned Latina, but Latina nontheless).

So if it was something racial (which I highly doubt), they wouldn't have made the show's princesses be more diverse than their Disney counterparts. I don't think it's a racist thing, I just think the priority of doing the white princesses is higher than doing the non-white princesses. Then again, you could argue that the white princesses are easier to fit onto the show, due to their stories.
