The new wave of sets will include three princes : Prince Charming , Prince Eric and Flynn Rider who is exclusive to the system line . All Disney princesses are charismatic girls but their personalities fall into two significant groups corresponding with two eras in which their films were made , the first one being between 30 . and 60 . of 20th Century and the second dating from late 80 . till now . As for the first three princesses , Snow White , Cinderella and Aurora ( better know as Sleeping Beauty ) , their characteristics were well known as classy , graceful and romantic daydreamers and who suffered from the actions caused by others . They held an inner strength through compassion , love , kindness and , particularly with Snow White , a strong sense of resilience . These princesses were known as the Classic or Storybook Princesses . After the renaissance era these popular heroines became more active then reactive with Ariel , Belle , Jasmine , Pocahontas , Mulan , Tiana , Rapunzel , and Merida . LEGO have only designed three of these princesses so far , Ariel , Merida and Rapunzel . Their characteristics were known to be strong - willed , adventurous , feisty , cunning and determined . As well their goals were more on adventure and freedom than love ( with the exception of Ariel ) , these girls were more fighters for their dreams than the first three . Snow White , Aurora , Ariel , Jasmine , Rapunzel and Merida are born of royal heritage as daughters of kings and queens . Pocahontas can be considered as being of royal heritage , as she is the daughter of a chief and considered Native American royalty by the English . Cinderella , Belle and Tiana become royalty by marriage . Mulan is the only Disney princess who does not become royalty by blood or marriage , but she does , however , receive a grace of honor from the Emperor of China making her the only woman to ever do so . Snow White . Main article : Snow White < br > Snow White is the first Disney Princess . The character of Snow White first originated in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale " Schneewittchen " about a beautiful German princess with a jealous stepmother . In 1937 , Walt Disney turned this classic fairy tale into his very first animated feature film . Her true love is Prince Ferdinand , who breaks her sleeping death ' slumber ' with love ' s first kiss . She befriends the seven dwarfs during her stay at their cottage . Cinderella . Main article : Cinderella < br > The best - known version of Cinderella is the fairy tale " Cendrillon " by Charles Perrault in 1697 . In 1950 , it was turned into an animated feature - length film by Walt Disney . He made the film because Cinderella reminded him of himself . Her stepmother turned her into the family ' s servant after her father died . With help from her Fairy Godmother , she attends the ball and meets the prince of her kingdom , and eventually marries him , thus freeing her from her life of slavery . She is often considered the " Leader of the Disney Princesses " , even though she wasn ' t the first one . Despict having strawberry blonde hair LEGO gave her bleach blonde hair . Aurora . Main article : Sleeping Beauty < br > Best known as the heroine of the 1959 animated classic " Sleeping Beauty " which is very loosely based on Charles Perrault ' s " La Belle au Bois Dormant " . Even though in the movie she wore blue , she is most commonly seen wearing pink ( the colour of her dress which was made also in LEGO sets ) . She was cursed at birth by an evil fairy called Maleficent , who predicted her death on her 16th birthday . Merryweather softened the curse by changing her death to a deep slumber that will only be awakened by true love ' s kiss . By the end of the film after Maleficent is defeated , she is freed from the curse by Phillip , the prince of a neighboring kingdom , who fell in love with her . Ariel . Main article : Ariel < br > The heroine of the 1989 film " The Little Mermaid " , is loosely based on the Danish fairy tale " Den Lille Havfrue " by Hans Christian Andersen . The daughter of King Triton , ruler of the sea , 16 - year old mermaid Ariel falls in love with a human prince named Eric . She has always dreamt of life on land and she finds Ursula ' s deal her only change to be with Eric , that ' s why she trades her voice to the sea witch , Ursula , in order to become a human and be with him forever . However , Ursula was not who she seemed . So Ariel and Eric defeat Urusla and Ariel becomes human . Rapunzel . Main article : Rapunzel < br > The heroine from the 2010 animated feature " Tangled " is loosely based on the German title character from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale " Rapunzel " .

Given the power by a magic golden flower , Mother Gothel kidnaps her as an infant to use her power to keep herself young . 18 years later , Rapunzel sneaks away from her tower with a thief , Flynn Rider , and sets on her own journey to find the flying lanterns that float into the sky every year on her birthday . To free her from Gothel ' s clutches , Flynn cuts her hair , thus destroys her power , and she is returned to her family . Even though LEGO ' s Rapunzel is based of her appearance in the movie her hair is less then ten feet when braided . Merida . Main article : Merida < br > The main character of 2012 Disney Pixar animated feature " Brave " is the first original princess in the line - up that not inspired by either literature ( Snow White , Cinderella , etc . ) or real - life ( Pocahontas , Tiana ) . Merida is the teenage daughter of Queen Elinor , and King Fergus . Queen Elinor ' s expectations and demands of her daughter make Merida see Elinor as being cold , unfeeling and distant causing friction between the two . Despite Elinor ' s desire to see Merida as a proper royal lady , Merida is an impetuous tomboy with wild , unruly hair and a passionate desire to take control of her own destiny . Merida has skills with the bow , and is the most skilled archers in her kingdom . She is also well trained in sword - fighting and an expert horsewoman , riding wildly across the countryside on her horse , Angus . Among other Disney princesses Merida has unique status . She is the first princess from a Pixar film and the only female Pixar protagonist made by LEGO . She never sings a major song in the movie , thus breaking away the traditional line - up , though as a child , she sang a small verse of a song in Gaelic . Merida ' s rich Scottish brogue makes her the second Disney Princess with an accent .
