Who are the most popular characters in dark disney princesses fanfiction?

One of the dark Disney princess stories is 'Snow White'. The Queen's jealousy led her to try to kill Snow White multiple times. Another is 'Sleeping Beauty'. Maleficent curses Aurora to prick her finger and die. And in 'The Little Mermaid', Ariel gives up her voice and endures great pain to be with a human, which has some dark undertones of sacrifice and the unknown in a new world.

Some fanfictions play with the idea of the princesses being villains themselves. Belle could use her intelligence to manipulate those around her instead of being the kind - hearted book - lover. And Jasmine might be a power - hungry princess who will stop at nothing to gain more control over her kingdom, rather than just wanting to escape the arranged marriage.

One popular theme is the 'what if' scenarios. For example, what if Cinderella didn't lose her glass slipper? Another is the crossovers between different princesses. They could team up to face a common enemy. And of course, there are also many stories about the princesses' lives after their 'happily ever after', like how Ariel manages her underwater kingdom while also dealing with the surface world politics.

Snow White is really popular. She was the first Disney princess, and her story of the seven dwarfs and the evil queen is well - known. Cinderella is also very popular. Her rags - to - riches story with the help of her fairy godmother has charmed generations.

For 'The Little Mermaid', the dark part of giving up her voice makes Ariel more determined. She has to rely on her body language and the power of love without the ability to speak. In 'Cinderella', the abuse from her step - family makes her kind - hearted nature shine through even more. She doesn't let the darkness around her turn her bitter. And in 'Beauty and the Beast', Belle's initial fear of the Beast due to the dark situation she's in gradually turns into understanding and love, showing her capacity for compassion.

One dark side is the lack of agency in some stories. For example, Snow White. She was mainly a passive character, waiting to be rescued by the prince. Another is the emphasis on beauty as the most important trait. Cinderella was only noticed by the prince because of her beauty at the ball. And in some princess stories, there is a kind of class divide that is not really challenged. The princesses often end up with princes, which might give the idea that marrying into royalty is the only way to a happy ending.

Maleficent is often very interesting in fanfiction. Even though she's a villain in the original stories, in fanfiction she can be given more complex motives and backstories. For example, she might have a tragic past that led her to become evil. Another interesting character is the Fairy Godmother. Fanfictions might explore her powers more deeply or show her having other adventures outside of helping Cinderella.

Some of the popular Disney Princesses include Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Jasmine (Aladdin), Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana (The Princess and the Frog), Rapunzel (Tangled), and Merida (Brave).

Well, there's also Merida from Brave. She's a feisty princess with wild dark hair. Another could be Jasmine from Aladdin, who has beautiful dark locks.

For Cinderella, there could be a dark side story in how her stepsisters and stepmother treated her so cruelly. However, from the stepsisters' perspective, they might have been pressured by their mother to be that way in order to secure a better future for themselves. And in the case of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, some might say that her being so willing to stay with the Beast, a creature who had kidnapped her father, has a bit of a dark undertone. But she was also trying to save her father.
