4. Merida
Cartoon Name: Brave
Speaking of defying standards, how can we forget about our “bravest” princess, Princess Merida? Aged 16, Merida is a Scottish princess from the kingdom of DunBroch, the daughter of Queen Elinor and King Fergus. She may not have the skills to hold a needle, but she definitely as well can hold a bow, proving herself to be the sharpest shooter in her kingdom.

3. Rapunzel
Cartoon Name: Tangled
Do we even need to introduce Rapunzel, the (extremely) long, magical-haired, strong-willed princess of Corona? Despite the years of gaslighting she receives from Mother Gothel, her spirit soars far beyond the confines of her prison. She proved that all she really needed was a small push from someone to let out her wings soar and take flight.
Rapunzel is really pretty with glittering brown eyes, fair skin, and rosy cheeks. She also has light freckles sprinkled over her cheeks, which are more visible in her 2D form.
2. Anna
Cartoon Name: Frozen
The beginning of our list is dominated by strong-willed, genre-defying women and we all love to see it! Princess (now Queen) Anna of Arendelle is one of the deuteragonists of Disney’s Frozen franchise. She is a big-hearted, optimistic girl, albeit a bit socially awkward at first. No one can really blame her for that since she grew up basically alone in the big castle after her parent’s death, with Elsa locking herself in her room.

1. Wendy Corduroy

Yes, we all love our quirky, dear Mabel. But let’s be real. Like Dipper, Wendy definitely stole our hearts, too. Possibly the coolest character in Gravity Falls, Wendy is a tall, chill teenager working part-time at the Mystery Shack. Like any other teenager, she has a rebellious streak and does not hesitate to leave her boring responsibilities to do something more fun. The twins come to love her throughout their stay with Stan, with Dipper having a huge crush on her for most of the series.
Wendy is quite attractive, with long red hair like her family. She has a fair complexion, green eyes, and freckles over her cheeks. She represents the ice pack on the Zodiac due to her chill nature, even in the face of grave danger.
