Recently, I have done a public kura ya maoni to find the prettiest princess. It was very interesting to watch the results change kwa the hour. Most of the outcome was as I had expected, but some things may surprise. Thanks to all 52 people who voted, especially those who ranked all 11.

11. Merida
Yes, to NOBODY’S surprise Merida is last. To be honest, I was kinda hoping she wouldn’t be. I like Merida. I guess people just didn’t think she’s as pretty as the other princesses.

Merida was originally joint tenth with Rapunzel, but due to ametoa maoni votes, ‘Punzie’ wins.The voters felt that Merida’s eyes were nice but oddly shaped. They also felt her face was a bit broad. Not even her hair (which I LOVE) could save Merida from the bottom spot.

10. Rapunzel
Nobody was feeling the upendo for the 3D CGI princesses. ‘Punzie’ comes in just behind Merida. Personally, I think Rapunzel is extremely stunning in some scenes but others were annoyed that her eye size and hair length kept changing throughout the movie. I guess Rapunzel was cute, but not beautiful.

9. Snow White
Snow was originally joint 8th with Cinderella, but the majority of commenters preferred Cindy. Snow’s look is very ‘sweet’ and ‘innocent’ and ‘simple’. People find her expressions bland but her hair looks nice as it contrasts with her skin. Though sweet, she is lacking the beauty that higher ranking princesses poses.

8. Cinderella
cinderella has often been placed as one of the prettiest, which is why her low rank surprised me. I think the problem was that Cindy was often ranked third au fourth, but not first. The apparent ‘lack’ of nose may have been a black mark against her in this poll.

7. Mulan
Mulan often ranked 6th to 10th in the grand scheme of things. Based on this, 7th place was a very respectable finish. Mulan is beautiful, but in a zaidi subtle way. In some scenes I find her simply adorable. If only she hadn’t spent most of the movie dressed as a man. Altogether, I feel Mulan deserved her position.

6. jimmy, hunitumia
‘The desert rose’ jimmy, hunitumia ended up in 6th position. Nobody had much to say on the subject of jimmy, hunitumia so I’ve been left to make assumptions. On the one hand, Jasmine’s eyes are striking. On the other, they seem too large and oddly shaped. The confusion about ‘earrings’ and ‘ears’ may also be a factor in her lack of support.

5. Pocahontas
Pocahontas was described as ‘gorgeous’ kwa the voters. To be fair, I’d have to agree. Her long, luscious hair is even zaidi captivating than Merida’s and Rapunzel’s. Her ‘natural’ elegance and beauty was also very appealing.

4. Ariel
As a human au as a mermaid, the general consensus is that Ariel was beautiful. She’s extremely striking with her red hair/blue eye combo. Even her lips highlight her specialness. The only problem I’ve ever encountered with Ariel is the ‘pink dress’ thing. I think it clashed with her hair colour and ruined her otherwise flawless wardrobe.

3. Belle
This one was probably the biggest surprise out of them all. I was certain Belle was going to win kwa a long stretch (as she often does). She was also referred to as ‘gorgeous’ kwa the voters. I think what stopped her winning is her lack of any incredibly rare feature. Her eyes are warm and beautiful, but their not shocking like Ariel’s.

2. Aurora
Ah, Briar Rose. Another one with stunning eyes. Her big scene is when she first wakes up from her spell and smiles. I think that is the point that everybody realised she was beautiful. It has been alisema before that her eye colour changed a lot throughout her film. This may be why she just missed out on first place.

1. Tiana
Tiana was called ‘really pretty’ and ‘simply beautiful’. One voter even went straight out and alisema she was flawless kwa commenting ‘she doesn’t have a single unattractive feature’. Her dimples and hair really compliment her eyes. There can be no doubt among the voters that she was kwa far the prettiest princess.

That concludes our countdown. If wewe enjoyed it au want me to write zaidi articles, please maoni ;) I was thinking of doing another countdown once Frozen is released. Thoughts?
