10) Tiana is a fictional character and the protagonist of Disney's 2009 film The Princess and the Frog which is loosely based on the 2002 novel The Frog princess by E.D. Baker. At the start of the movie she is a waitress and aspiring restaurateur living in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the Jazz Age. She is voiced by Anika Noni Rose and is the ninth Disney Princess. "Tiana" is the Turkish word for "princess."
9) Fa Mulan, better known simply as Mulan, is the main protagonist of Disney's thirty-sixth animated feature film Mulan (1998) and its direct-to-video sequel Mulan II. The character is inspired by the legendary Hua Mulan from the Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan. In both films, Mulan is voiced by Ming-Na and her singing voice is provided by Lea Salonga. She is the eighth Disney Princess, and the first of them with an East Asian appearance.
8) Princess Jasmine is a fictional character, one of the main characters of the 1992 Disney film, Aladdin, followed by its two direct-to-video sequels, The Return of Jafar (1994) and Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996), as well as the animated television series Aladdin. She is voiced by Linda Larkin, with her singing voice performed by Lea Salonga in the first movie and Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, and Liz Callaway in The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Jasmine is the princess of the fictional city of Agrabah. She is also an official Disney Princess with an Arabic appearance.The character is based on the Princess from the 1001 Arabian Nights Tale of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.
7) Snow White is a fictional character and the main protagonist from Walt Disney's first animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, (1937). She is also considered the first member of the Disney Princess group of characters. Snow White (in German Schneewittchen) is derived from a fairy tale known from many countries in Europe, the best known version being the German one collected by the Brothers Grimm.
6) Pocahontas is one of the main characters of Disney's 1995, thirty-third animated feature, Pocahontas, and its direct-to-video sequel, Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World. She, as well as the events she goes through, are very loosely based on the actual historical figure Matoaka, who is more popularly known by the nickname Pocahontas. Though Pocahontas does not come from or marry into any monarchy like other Disney princesses such as Snow White, Cinderella and Princess Aurora, she is still included as an official Disney Princess because she is the daughter of a Native American chief. This makes Pocahontas the first American Disney Princess. Pocahontas is also the first (and only) Disney Princess to have two love interests. However, most media, including the Disney Princess franchise, keep John Smith and Pocahontas as an official couple, completely ignoring John Rolfe.
5) Ariel is the protagonist of Walt Disney Pictures' twenty-eighth animated film The Little Mermaid (1989). She later appears in the film's prequel television series, direct-to-video sequel The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea and direct-to-video prequel The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. Ariel is voiced by Jodi Benson in all the above animated material and merchandise. She is the fourth official Disney Princess and the only Disney Princess to be a mother, her daughter is Melody.
4) Belle is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of the Disney animated film, Beauty and the Beast and its two direct-to-video sequels, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas and its several spin-offs, including Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World. She is also an official Disney Princess. She also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character and in various shows and parades. She also makes a cameo appearance in Disney's 1996 animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
3) Cinderella is a fictional character and is the main protagonist from Disney's twelfth animated film Cinderella (1950) and its two sequels. In the original film she is voiced by the late Ilene Woods. The Disney version of the character was based on the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, written in 1634 in Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passé. She is also the second official Disney Princess and the first one with Titian (later changed to blond in the franchise) hair.
2) Princess Aurora is a fictional character and the title character from Disney's 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty (which she is sometimes referred to as), as well as an official Disney Princess.The Disney version of the character was based on the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, written in 1634 in Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passé. She is also known as Briar Rose.
1) Anastasia, loosely based on an urban legend which claimed that Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the last monarch of Imperial Russia, in fact survived the execution of her family, and thus takes various liberties with historical fact. Well technically she isn't a Disney princess but I do believe that her qualities suffice for her to qualify as one. She may be rough on the outside but deep inside a true princess to begin with.
