(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… princess of the Scottish kingdom of DunBroch. Merida has three younger brothers and a loving mother and father. Unfortunately, her refusal to act like a proper princess strains her relationship with Queen Elinor. When a spell goes horribly wrong, Merida must look past her anger to save her mother.
Personality… feisty, independent, and forceful. Merida has no desire to marry anyone; instead, she just wants to have control of her own destiny. If it were up to her, Merida would spend her days practicing archery and swordfighting, riding her horse Angus, and exploring the Highlands. But given she's part of a royal family with official responsibilities, it’s not always up to her.

Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida's quest—and serving as comic relief—are the kingdom's three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.
