Princess Merida

Princess Merida is the main character in this summer's Disney/Pixar film 'Brave' which is set to hit theaters on June 22, 2012 . She will also be seen is Brave: The Video Game, which will be released this summer. Other merchandise she will be featured on include pins, art work, toys, clothing, and books.

*FUN FACT* She is Disney/Pixar's first female lead character.

She lives in the Scotland Highlands, with her mother, father, and three brothers whom are Queen Elinor, King Fergus, Hamish, Harris, and Hubert. She has a few allies on her side, which include her family at times, her best friend Angus (her horse), Lord MacGuffin, Lord Dingwall, and Lord Macintosh. Mordu is her enemy, he is a fierce beast who's name means death.

Merida has bright red hair and is very fit. She has blue eyes, and is quite the rebel, and wants her freedom and to be adventurous. She wears a dark turquoise dress with a sash that she carries her arrows in with her bow around her shoulders.

*FUN FACT* Reese Witherspoon was going to be the voice of Merida until scheduling conflicts got in the way.

She is voiced by Kelly Macdonald.

Merida appearances will start in May in Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and I am sure after the movie is released in theaters, she will be found in parks around the world. This movie in my opinion is going to be amazing, just from the all the footage I have seen, I am really excited.
