Honestly there are a ton of princesses they can do. I know many want Jasmine but I don't really see her this season or possibly ever because genies and Jafar seemed used up. I thought maybe with Will introduced Jafar would retunr but I guess not.

Historial butcherings should stay away from Once, meaning Pochantas is a no-no. She's not going to happen without crushing the toes of the severely oppressed Native Americans, plus, why would she be in a Fairytale Europe? (EF is pretty much the Europe of that world.

Tiana isn't really important enough and I'm certain they would replace her with the girl and the Frog Prince (which I like better, blame that on Shrek).

At least we know that this Brave inclusion isn't some ratings and money grabbing advertising scheme like Frozen seemed to be. Now, Merida can fit in without taking a whole season for herself and her story.

I think she's the last one possible unless we go to the Black Cauldron and other stuff, because it's a prety shallow well to pull from. Well, Mulan is based on a real-life person, Blackbeard is based on a real-life person, so I don't see the problem with Pocahontas... I do see your point about the oppresion of Native Americans and her being part of a historical butchering though, but I'm quite uneducated about that subject since I'm not from the USA, so I prefer to stay out of that discussion. But Disney make a whole movie based around her anyways, so why couldn't she be introduced to OUaT? I really hope that I'm not offending anyone, I'm just legitimately curious since I know almost nothing about this particular subject.

As for Tiana, she's an independent and hardworking woman, and that's what makes me love her so much. They could change her for OUaT, keeping her looks and personality, but doing something like giving her magic (like Cruella) to make her story more interesting. While most of the times I prefer to stick with the characters' original fairytales instead of Disney movies, Tiana is an exception because she's a particular character that I'm very fond of. When people think of strong females in Disney, everyone thinks of Elsa and sometimes Mulan, but people seem to forget about Tiana and Merida a lot. I haven't seen The Princess and the Frog, but I'm sure she's a strong female, and I love Merida, but I usually think of Belle when I think of the strong princess type, she was the only girl in the village who didn't want Gaston, she sacraficed herself for her father, was willing to stand up to the beast, overlooked his apperance, and saw goodness in him and broke his curse You're right, I forgot about Belle. Disney princesses are pretty much divided in two types: the damsel in distress in need of saving (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine) and the strong and independent female who can save herself (Belle, Mulan, Tiana, Megara, Merida, Elsa). Out of the damsels in distress, the only one that I like is Aurora, and only because she had an impact on my childhood (I really loved Sleeping Beauty as a kid xD). Out of the strong and independent females, I really like all of them. I'm not sure where Anna, Rapunzel and Pocahontas would fall into that spectrum, though. I'm pretty sure Pocahontas would be strong and independent but I haven't watched her movie in years so I can't tell for sure.
