Merida (メリダ) is a Scottish princess created by Pixar, debuting in the 2012 animated film Brave. With her wild, curly red hair and fearless spirit, she is a bold, independent, and headstrong young woman who rejects the traditional expectations placed upon royalty. A skilled archer and rider, Merida values freedom and choice above all else. Her struggle against her mother Queen Elinor's expectations leads to conflict, but ultimately helps them understand and strengthen their bond.
