attention until the point where she jumps at the chance to marry someone she just met. She is naive and lonely, and because of this, she is self-centered and cannot see people's actions beyond their true intentions. Their relationship is explored throughout the film as the agape love Elsa has for Anna. His absolute refusal to willingly cause Anna harm of her own accord is constantly shown throughout the film. Both struggle to see from the other's point of view as Elsa must understand Anna's feelings of rejection, and Anna must understand Elsa's need to protect her. Ultimately, however, Elsa learns to be more confident, accept her powers, and be true to herself. She understands that she must not lose her identity. Mérida is the archetypal tomboy who refuses to look like a “princess”. She is skilled in combat and rejects all the normal conventions of being a "lady" and does not recognize her duty to the kingdom: to marry. She is strong-willed and wants to remain free from any constraints, whether it be a husband or a strict mother who forbids her from practicing the activities she loves (archery and horse riding). Anna is a cheerful and optimistic girl who takes charge without needing to rely heavily on princes. She bravely goes looking for her sister in dangerous conditions and does so of her own will to protect her sister. Elsa is an anti-hero who does not hesitate to kill others in order to satisfy her strong sense of self-preservation. She is constantly shown to suffer from mental illnesses that stem from her isolation and the fear of her own powers instilled by her father. In this regard, we see that Disney has introduced viewers to a more progressive set of main characters with their own agency who move away from the convention of submissive and seemingly perfect princesses who embody the whole traditional woman. We see a form of love in both films that is rarely depicted as the main theme of Disney films, familial love. Although many other Disney films depict it, none of them have ever been the focus of the film. In Brave, we see that Merida has no interest in getting married, and throughout the film, her relationship with her mother is the force that drives the story forward. In Frozen, Elsa's relationship with her sister is the main factor in the film, as everything that happens is a result of Elsa's true love for Anna. Therefore, both films present true love in the sense of familial love as opposed to romantic love. Finally, both films take place in medieval kingdoms where magic reigns. Merida follows magical beings – the wisps – into the forest to find a witch who turns her mother into a bear. Elsa has the power of ice and snow and can create sentient beings and intricate castles with little to no effort. This shows that both films have a magical aspect to them.
