*Leadership: Despite The clan leaders dissatisfied with Merida, she becomes a stubborn but noble leader. Her words of wisdom with Fergus shortly before the battle led him to forsake The helm that would make his soldiers follow him into battle. Though initially planning to use the Spell of Mor'du to kill the leaders for defying her, Merida chooses to be more merciful due to Belle's influence. After Merida fights Zelena and Arbor, Lord Macintosh, Dingwall and MacGuffin. They see that she is fit to rule because she would do anything to save the kingdom. After Merida is crowned, she announces her intent to destroy the helm rather than return it because no magic should force people to fight for a cause they don't believe in. To this, the old witch congratulates her as she gained the confidence to lead DunBroch without resorting to magic. The Witch sees through thatv de the kingdom will prosper
*Swordsmanship: Merida was taught how to sword fight, in part due to her training under Mulan's tutelage. Because she is a capable swordswoman, the clan leaders accept her as the true Queen when she saves her brothers with her bow.
