BelleAnastasia picked jasmijn:
Either Pocahontas or Jasmine. But Jasmine shows that a female can be strong and independent, without being uncertain in herself.

LatinoLollipops picked Cinderella:
Cinderella is kind to everyone and everything and although she may not enjoy the hard work she does it with a smile on her face which makes tidying up at home as a young girl twice as fun! She is also very well spoken and determined.

She's a very good role model. You can take care of your family, love, enemies AND yourself.

Swanpride picked Rapunzel:
Eh...Pocahontas tells me "don't make your own decisions, wait for a sign!!!!" And Jasmine tells me "Act like a brat, it will never backlash on you!".

Cinderella tells me that nobody in the world can destroy who you really are, no matter how hard they try. And Rapunzel tells me that it is a good thing to face your fears and that you should make up your own mind about the world.

Jayden-G picked Pocahontas:
What Pocahontas tells me is that "It's okay to be confused and indecisive sometimes, and you should ask for help and advice". She also tells me "It's better to make peace than start war, as it will only cause grief for both parties". She gave up what she wanted for the better of her people. I don't know if much of the princesses would do the same.

Swanpride picked Rapunzel:
@Jayden-G Aurora would...she puts her resposibilities as a princess above her own wishes. Funny thing, she is voted out already as one of the worst role models for being a doormat.....

maryksand picked Rapunzel:
I love Pocahontas but I wouldn't put her above Cinderella and Rapunzel. Pocahontas' willingess to stand her moral ground regardless of the circumstances as well as never let anyone take decisions for her - yes, even if she at her core is essentially indecisive there is no way she'd let anyone dictate her life rather than listening to the signs that she consciously CHOSE to listen to in the first place - is poignant and admirable, however, not nearly as admirable as Rapunzel's ability to confront her anxiety and deeply rooted fears, fundamentally misguided concepts and perceptions of the world in order to set out on a journey of self discovery to gain her own unique experiences and see the aspects of life from different angles and perspectives regardless of how presumably frightening said experiences might end up being considering the mindset that was systematically and deliberately forced on her by abusive parent... perhaps she is the best role model to me personally because I was raised in a similar environment and eventually developeda severe anxiety as a result. The mere fact of fulfilling the simplest task of setting the foot outside is the essential trigger to me because for about 14 years I was continuously told to fear of what's out there and to always consider the possibility of being killed or raped on top of supposedly not being able to handle walking down streets without being hit by a car. The first time I went outside without guidance was when I was 14 to buy bread in a grossery store and then return home after few minutes which ended up being an overwhelmingly refreshing experience nevertheless especially in the light of the fact that no one tried to kill me. If I had Rapunzel's strength to further confront my family's verbally pressuring tactics it probably wouldn't have been as unbearably and immensely complicated to maintain emotional stability and work through the numerous insecurities planted in my head due to the way I was raised.

SweetPea2007 picked Rapunzel:
Children should be made aware of what is out there, not be afriad of it naccesarily but to be prepared for it...yeah you might not be raped,killed,hit by a car everytime you walk outside, but it could happen so it is best to be aware of all possibilities and to always expect the unexpected....I have always told my children to be polite and friendly (but not overly friendly) but to still not trust a person just because they are nice and friendly (there are some sick twisted people out there who can easily hide behinde a nice friendly face)and I have also pointed out to them that alot of things the DP do in thier movies might not have turned out so well in real life, they are just movies...(Gothel came off to Rapunzel as a loving,nurtuting mother who took care of her and was concerned about her...yeah a little crazy and mean at times but still caring...in reality the woman was a maniuplative pyscopath that kidnapped a baby simply for her hair so she could stay young forever)Kids really do get kidnapped by psychos and kept as prisoners, unfortauntly thier storys do not always turn out happily like Rapunzels... But I like how Rapunzel shows that you can be postive and confident and still aware and wary of your surroundings....she went with a stranger, but she had a weapon and the upperhand(she had something he wanted-crown)...she considered things and thought them through before making her decisions and she still came off respectful and obiedent ...and I like how resoursful she was....just because you are naive,small, and considered "weak" does not mean you should let yourself be a victim....

rhythmicmagic picked Cinderella:
Or Rapunzel or Pocahontas. All of them are great role models. I'd say Snow White is a good one too.
Rapunzel put up with all that Gothel put her through and still had the strength to leave her tower and confront Gothel in the end when she realized she had been manipulating and lying to her all her life. She had a lot of strength, and made it through a lot.
Pocahontas put the needs of her people above her own desires. She stayed with her people instead of leaving with John. She also found a way to stop the war, showing that love is stronger than hate and also that if two sides are willing to listen, they can usually find a way to work things out without bloodshed. I also think the fact that she listens to the spirits actually makes her a good role model. She shows that you should listen to the advice others give, especially because it is so often shown that you shouldn't pay attention to what others tell you and almost that taking advice is weakness now.
Cinderella is one of the strongest of the princesses, by far. She, like Rapunzel, went through years of abuse. She came out of it still a kind and caring person. Also, people make way too much out of her supposed passivity, in my opinion. She had no real choice but to stay, she had no resources if she escaped, if she was caught escaping she would have been put through much worse than what she already was, and any real rebellion would have gotten her huge punishment. However, she did still rebel in many small ways, and she took the one chance she had to get out. Cinderella was put through cruelty for years without ever sinking to the level of those putting her through it, and I think she deserves a lot more credit for that than she is given.

maryksand picked Rapunzel:
SweetPea2007 no, no, you are absolutely right and I think your comment is a great and consistent addition to mine, especially in terms of highlighting the difference between the movies and reality and the fact that if Rapunzel was a real girl her reliance on a random stranger with criminal tendencies would most likely end very badly if not fatally, which is why obviously the movies are not supposed to nor designed/structured to be taken literally rather than perceived as inspirational and enlightening material to detach important and valuable lessons from supernatural and figurative nature of the overall story. However, there ARE verbally abusive parents and relatives and unfortunately that was the case with my own family which is the primary reason why I look up to Rapunzel and profoundly relate to her. Much like Rapunzel, most of my anxieties and insecurities come from the drastically flawed and deliberately belittling and humiliating tendencies most of my family relied on in order to "make something out of me" so I wouldn't be a terrible embarrassment or disappointment and at the same time for a significantly long periode of time I was entirely deprived of the opportunity to form my own experiences and worldview outside of the ultimately limited zone of destructive influence, which did have an evidently destructive and damaging effect on me. And you are spot on in regards to Rapunzel's admirable trait to actually do a consistent and detailed research and calculation prior to taking risky and questionable decisions rather than let her naivety and lack of information and guidance put her in a potentially dangerous situation she objectively wouldn't be able to handle.
