If you had to pick FIVE (5) of the Disney princesses to form an adventuring party to stop a dark lord, which five would you pick?
If you had to pick FIVE (5) of the Disney princesses to form an adventuring party to stop a dark lord, which five would you pick?
Out of this lineup?
Elsa, Merida, Rapunzel, Kida and Moana. They are the only ones useful enough for a situation like that.
No, just in general. I couldn't find a good pic with every single official princess on it.
There's like 12 or 13 "official" princesses - Snow white, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana, and recently Raya.
If you want Elsa, Anna, Kida etc to be available, you need to be looking at any heroine who's a princess in a Disney thing, not just the "offical" lineup.
However:
Elsa for elemental demigod tier ice magic, Mulan, Kida, and Merida for the fighting ability - and then it's a choice between Rapunzel (if she still has her healing magic) or maybe Pocahontas for assumed hunting/tracking/survival in nature skills.
Honestly I expect it to be Elsa tanking the whole thing with like Merida and Mulan giving ranged support lol
Good minmax pick except everyone there has a really shallow pool of social experience by either being a shut-in or relegated to isolated societies. Merida comes from a society that has connections with a larger world but is shown repeatedly to detest and even avoid that socialization to run her horse in the wilderness.
A Dark Lord that has high manipulation capabilities could have the group running wheels without getting anywhere and pick at the weaknesses in the process, like Elsa not really being a team player or Merida, Kida, and Moana all being a bit hardheaded and forceful. Punzy wouldn't be enough to keep that together if the dynamics broke down.
>A Dark Lord that has high manipulation capabilities could have the group running wheels without getting anywhere and pick at the weaknesses in the process
To be fair the same could be said about almost everyone else in the Princess lineup. Snow White, Anna and Ariel are very easy to fool, Aurora is a non factor, and Belle can be coerced around by threats applied carefully enough.
Jasmine and Tiana are the ones most resiliant to manipulation and most likely to see through schemes but there's only so much they can do in a party, otherwise.
Hypnotize all of them.
fpbp but thinking outside of this lineup I'd replace Merida with Vanellope assuming she can use her glitch powers outside of a videogame. If we're being literal Moana isn't a princess so I'd replace her instead.
>assuming she can use her glitch powers outside of a videogame
why would anyone assume that, it makes zero sense
Elsa, Raya, Merida, Mulan and Moana
Kida could replace Moana if she has magic but if not I'll stick with the only 5 that'd actually be useful in a situation like this.
>Elsa
Status effects
>Merida
Ranger
>Rapunzel
Healer
>Kida
Interpreter/Strategist
>Moana
Navigator
It is literally a standard RPG team.
I feel like you literally have to pick Mulan, Merida and Kida, since they actually know how to fight. And then Elsa because op ice magic. The last one is the only real choice, I honestly don't remember shit about her movie, but Pocahontas is an injun and they were pretty good at forest stuff which would probably be useful.
I picked Rapunzel because she's got healing magic, and she can actually handle herself decently well in fights.
We need a white mage.
That's fair, I was thinking of end of movie version where she lost her abilities, but she is a solid choice if she has her hair powers still.
Apparently Pocahontas also canonly knows how to use the war ax or whatever it's called, according to Wreck it Ralph. In the movie she knows how to use a lance
Mulan, Merida, Pocahontas, Moana, and Tiana
Mulan and Merida are for combat, the other three help us get there and survive.
Surprised nobody’s picked Snow White yet. She’s got 7 burly pickaxe-wielding dwarfs at her command.
I don't think bringing allies in is fair play. Otherwise Jasmine gets Genie and it's a no contest from there.
I thought the Genie was Aladdin’s. Jasmine’s companion is her palace tiger.
Even without the dwarfs, Snow White has her animal-friendship power. She'd make a kick-ass druid.
>Druid Snow White, ready for battle
Elsa - main powerhouse
Raps - healing
Pocahontas - pathfinding and wildness expertise
Belle - general knowledge
Tiana - diversity points
Also Mulan isn't a Disney princess? Weird
Wait raps can heal people? Ok replace Moana with her then.
Her being able to heal people(from the brink of death even) is a big plot point of the movie. Never watched the cartoon so dunno if she ends up getting nerfed or something
She can't heal any more, but when she gets her hair back it is now indestructible and she also gets the anti-life equation.
The frick? Thought the TV series were supposed to be fun and lower stakes, like with Aladdin and Hercules
Pocahontas - Scout
Jasmine - Has a tiger
Kida - Combat/tech
Meridia - Combat
Elsa - Magic
You forgot a pretty major Disney princess, Anon. She's prolly my first pick.
Elsa for sheer power.
Mulan for tactics.
Rapunzel for healing.
Moana and Merida for extra muscle.
-Mulan because she's already a good fighter. She can help train the others if they don't know the basics of adventuring and stopping evil overlords already
-Cinderella because she's a hard worker
-Tiana is a hard worker too, so I also pick her. Also she knows how to cook, always a good skill when adventuring.
-Ariel has the spirit for adventure, and is a quick learner, she is less qualified than the others but I think she will still be useful. Main thing would be instilling some discipline into her.
-Snow White is a hard worker and knows how to lead, going by how she took charge of the seven dwarves' living quarters. She seems organized too.
Out of the rejected ones...
Belle is intelligent and a quick learner, but lacks discipline. She really could take Snow White or Ariel's spot, the three are really about the same level of adventuring party-worthy but I like the other two better.
Raunzel's hair I think would be a liability more often than an asset.
Pocahontas personality doesn't gel with me.
Jasmine and Aurora are pampered pups who rarely leave or have much desire to leave their palaces. No adventurous impulse at all. Ariel is a pampered pup too, but she at least wants to see the world.
I haven't watched Moana so I don't know if she's good for this or not, I don't even know what the plot is. Something about surfing and trying to catch a big fish with a big dude with too many tattoos so he can catch something on his giant fishhook if I were to guess based on what little I know of it?
I have not seen Merida's movie either. Something about archery? Looks boring. Also her voice grates on my ears, I can't stand her.
Elsa isn't a princess though. She's a queen.
Elsa, Moana, Rapunzel, Elisa Maza from Gargoyles, queen of BGC
oh and Mulan, or maybe Anna to give Elsa strength
Does Ariel have the trindent? Because if so Moana can be left out (and probably Elsa as well).
