But, why the new princess must be a Disney princess and not a fairytale princess? Maybe the Swan Princess.

Historical character MUST NOT APPEAIR IN ONCE UPON A TIME. As I always repeat, in my opinion Once Upon a Time is about fairytales and books. Pocahontas won't appeair. And I would hate a presence of Merida or Esmeralda (the first one because she's a character of a myth, the second one because she's historical as Pocahontas). First off, Merida is not from a myth. She is an original character from the Disney/Pixar movie Brave. Secondly, myths are classic stories, and have already been on the show. Next, I'm fine with Tiana being more like the princess from The Frog Prince. They won't do the swan princess, because Emma is already alluding to it. Also, I agree that historical characters shouldn't be on the show, but if Pocahontas is from a fictional world, she wouldn't really be the real Pocahontas, much like Black Beard is not Edward Teach on the show. Finally, Aladdin's story is not finished, we haven't even seen Aladdin yet. Alluding to Aladdin is not the same as seeing him. So for that reason Jasmine would be good for the show. Couldn't have said this better myself. Also, @Simmino Esmeralda isn't historical, she's from a novel like Alice, Frankenstein and Pinocchio. She's fair game, especially since she was referenced in season 2.

And like @CoolDudeAl said, they did Black Beard and he wasn't Edward Teach.

They also did Mulan, and she wasn't Hua Mulan. They also did Robin Hood and he wasn't the historical one. All of them were present in fictional worlds, so they were fictional versions of these characters. If Pocahontas is introduced in very much this same way, then she would also not be Matoaka AKA Rebecca Rolfe AKA the real Pocahontas.
