audreygrace412 picked Мулан:
Mulan was the 3rd ‘princess’ to marry into royalty rather than be born into it, the 5th to be intellectually curious, and the 2nd to defy gender roles. She was the 3rd to outright disobey her father’s orders and talk back to him. She was the 3rd non-Anglo Caucasian in a row and the 4th to have jet black hair. She was the 2nd to replace magic with spiritual/natural elements. As far as unique, she was the 1st to: join a war and be a soldier, be Asian, be raised by both parents throughout her childhood, modeled after a poem rather than fable or real life figure, not actually be a ‘princess’ by birth or marriage or technicality, impersonate a male, be completely altruistic and sacrificing herself in major ways for citizens of China she doesn’t even know and be the major factor in defeating her villain.

Pocahontas was the 5th to be born a princess rather than marry into royalty, the 4th to want to explore and 2nd to want to explore other cultures specifically. She was the 4th to have just 1 parent and 4th for that 1 parent to just be the father. She was the 2nd to outright disobey her father’s orders and talk back to him. She was the 2nd non-Anglo Caucasian in a row and the 3rd to have jet black hair. As far as unique, she was the 1st to: be able to freely roam about whenever and wherever she wanted to, be Native-American, modeled after a real life person/princess, not end up with a prince or any love interest, replace magic with spiritual/natural elements, be shown to be very wise and mature in decision-making, take responsibility for their own actions (admit a wrong) and get in between and stop a war between 2 cultures.

I think Ariel is the absolute most unique princess of them all. She was the 2nd princess to be a more 'relatable/regular girl' type of princess, in a different way for a different time period, as she was very symbolic of rebellious teenagers in the late 1980s in America. She was the 3rd to be spunky in her tone after Aurora was not spunky at all in that way and the 3rd to be born into royalty. As far as unique, she was the 1st to: be fully red haired, be exploratory and intellectually curious in nature, show an interest in reading, grow up with at least 1 parent her entire childhood and 1st for that parent to be a father, talk back to her parent and openly choose to disobey them/rebellious, be non-human, run away from home, physically take on her villain, and choose to leave her family for love.

EmaSomolanyiova picked Ariel:
Pocahontas is unique because of the nature and nation she is living in. She also follows her heart, which is also pretty interesting. Mulan is the most intelligent princess. She takes her father's place in the war to save him, not for herself.

Those informations lead me to the verdict that Ariel is the least unique one.

wavesurf picked Pocahontas:
Each one of the princesses comes from a different culture, and she "follows her heart" to some degree. Poca doesn't really stand out without these two qualities, which aren't just hers alone. Similarly, Poca's sense of curiosity is shared by multiple princesses, both before her and after her. Poca's truly unique aspect is not staying with her "prince" at the end of her movie. I know that's due to following the historical record, and that's the only thing that really sets her apart to me.

Silverrose1991 picked Pocahontas:
Snow White left? How did I miss that? Well, I really think she should have won, or at least have been runner-up.

From the three left, I'd say Pocahontas is the least unique - she has a lot of unique aspects about her, but she's still the fourth character to follow the Renaissance mold, whereas I think Mulan broke away from it, at least partially.

MaidofOrleans picked Ariel:
Of these three I'm going to have to go with Ariel. Like Silverrose1991 mentioned, there is the Renaissance mold to consider, which Ariel follows to a T since she's the one who started that trend. Thus, I see a lot of Belle, Jas, Poca, and even Mulan in her. She also has a lot of similarities to Merida (both fiery red-heads who go to a witch and make a bad deal to solve their problems). She gets points for being the only non-human princess though.

I feel like Pocahontas might be the most unique one here. She is the only princess who pushes a strong environmental theme and is also the only princess who willingly leaves her prince. That, to me, is huge since so many of the DP movies revolve so strongly around love and romance.

Forgive me if I evaluated these princesses incorrectly. I had a tough time telling if this countdown was supposed to be about the most unique princess at the time of her creation or the most unique princess overall. If it is the former then I agree with Silverrose1991 that Snow White shouldn't have left, since she was the first of the first.

^ No worries, it was supposed to be unique overall, independently as well as within the line up. :)
