Twenty-three years after The Little Mermaid, in 2012 we’re introduced to Merida another red haired princess, but Merida represents a far greater shift in our perception of women and their place in society than in The Little Mermaid.

Nausicaa’s servants are startled and run away from Odysseus, but the princess Nausicaa stayed, despite his terrifying appearance, and listened to this stranger who needed her help.

meant to be a "strong female character." Buffy was the one to pave the way for the Katniss, Kim Possible, and Veronica Mars to follow in the next decade as women who could have agency in their stories without compromising their femininity.
