[Personality]
Merida is as wild as her hair, refusing to be still or fit to any standards she doesn't agree with. At the point I've taken her from, she cares more about herself and her future than that of the kingdom and her family. She isn't mean or selfish, she just can't see eye to eye with her mother and therefore can't understand what the 'big deal' is about being a lady. In fact, Merida often goes out of her way to defy her mother, refusing to listen to her and defiant that she's right all the time. One could say that makes her the typical teenager, but she does love her mother, father, and three brothers very deeply. Often, however, her pride comes before her love.
Just what she wants to do with her life, she isn't sure, but she does know she wants it to be her choice. She loves to prove how great she is to those around her - upon hearing from her father about a great cliff only warriors could get to the top of, she went about and climbed it, bragging about it later. She can also easily brag about her skills, and it's another reason why she thinks she knows better than her mother, as Merida is a warrior while Elinor is a diplomat. For now, Merida thinks actions speak louder than words. She's willing to put herself and others in danger just to have things her way, such as running away from home, following mysterious Wisps, and paying off a witch, all just she can change her mother - not change the tradition of marriage, but to make her mother change, since 'clearly' she is in the wrong.
She can be sarcastic and a bit cruel with her tongue and words, but that's only because she thinks mostly in the present. If she actually stopped and thought about the future of everyone around her, she would probably be upset at what she's done and try to resolve it. Her tender moments can be shown around her beloved horse, to her brothers (sneaking them desserts instead of making sure they eat healthily) and jovially sharing her father's heroic stories. She's not a bad person, she just makes bad decisions and needs to grow and mature, and being around people who won't obey her or treat her like a princess may just help her do that. She's normally used to doing what she wants and defying others, so she may have just jumped from the frying pan and into the fire.
[Specialties/Abilities]
You'll have to get to know her before you can get too affectionate with her, but once you do, she's very cuddly, even allowing her brothers to pull at her hair.
[Fighting] Fights and death are allowed! She'll take on anyone who poses a threat/challenge.
[Other Permissions] Telepathy allowed, 4th wall breaking allowed, go all out if you want to.
[Other Facts] Writing her with the accent is hard mmmkay.
[Canon] Brave.

[Specialties/Abilities]
- Horse riding
- Sword-play (enough that she was able to match her father, who's more than twice her size and strength!)
- Archery (able to hit precise targets, even as she's moving, and has enough strength that her arrows can go through other arrows and break through the backs of her wooden targets!)
