Found the offical Ariel answer “Ariel was originally meant to be a Princess of Heart, but in order for her to be captured by Maleficent, the story portion of Ursula giving her legs would have had to take place first. It was already too late in production to add this, so the producers chose Alice as a Princess of Heart, which garnered fan outrage, due to not staying true to the Disney Princesses. However, after finding out the troublesome production of the game, the fans forgave the game developers.” - IMDB

I love that Cinderella is in her original silver dress in KH.

[JenKunoichi]

I can see Raya getting caught up in a similar situation as Davy Jones's chest in KH3 where the baddies don't realize she's the princess of a literal place called Heart and not the metaphorical heart.

[elbow_juice]

Enchanted getting representation in KH would be the most unexpected W I've ever seen

[fishnewt]

I love the concept of the Princess of Heart. A group of women who fundamentally regulate the light of the universe by merely existing. I just wish they had more to do, especially Kairi.

[crossoverfan]

Sofia would be to OP as a Disney princess. No seriously with her skills, magic amulet, enchantlet, and general competence give her the power of light and she’s unstoppable

[DeathLadyShinigami]

Someone had a theory about Kairi's role in the story! She's the girl who doesn't want to grow up. She's scared of change as she told us at the beginning of KH1 and it's been reinforced through the other games. So her story is confronting the fact that nothing will ever be the same again, there is no going back to the days of her Sora and Riku being carefree on Destiny Islands.

[dimentioo]

honestly as a kid i HATED the fact that my favorite disney princess was in the game but wasn’t a princess of heart but now that i’m older I much prefer Ariel having the distinction of being the first princess/woman party member and the only woman party member in KH1 as well. She’s much more special than the princesses of heart.

[slothoverlord]

My big hope with Kingdom Hearts 4 is that they bring the Council of Disney Villains back. With the Princesses of Heart relevant again and Maleficent having the chance to be just as relevant as she was in KH1 thanks to the Black Box this is the perfect chance to bring back the council, bringing a few returning villains back and rearranging the roster to reflect the villains Disney have created since KH1

[SharkWitchMeruna]

Melody please, she's a princess and Ariel is a queen now!

[eddog]

There is one key piece of evidence that could easily prove kairi is a royal princess.

When she says goodbye to aqua in birth by sleep kairi does a royal curtsy.

And yes there is a drastic difference.

Here is a noble woman’s curtsy:

They grab the side of the skirt. And then they bend at the hip performing a bow.

A royal curtsy is different.

They stiffen their back, stand up straight. Reach down without bending to grab the side of their skirt. Then they slightly bend their knees. Creating the illusion of their head bowing.

[KaimArgonarEyyyy]

Never even considered why Ursula just decided to ignore the plan after doing that big mystery villains council thing at HB, the Ariel-Alice swap observation seems valid.

[kretesWMV]

I think it'd be really funny if Raya does end up in KH4 only for the writers to reuse the plot element with Vexen from the Caribbeans in 3, where he thought Davy Jones' chest contained his "KH definition" heart rather than his actual "human" heart. Let's say Maleficent or MoM and Foretellers are seeking the new Seven and they hear of a world with *A* princess of heart only for it to fall outside of their understanding of the term.

[haevhnly]

There's no way they're gonna exclude Tiana from becoming a Princess of Heart. She's very popular and modern enough for a new gen of seven hearts. Her story also blends in well with adding Dr. Facilier as a villain as he can command shadows, which basically he can summon Heartless at his will.

I don't think they'd add Princess Leia to the seven hearts because she'd just stick out like a sore thumb against all of the animated princesses. I guess we'll only find out in KH4 or Missing Link though, but it'll most likely be Kairi, Rapunzel, Elsa, Anna, Moana, and Tiana. The last member would be a toss between Merida, Raya, or Mirabel.

[sasuke]

My justification for Ariel's exclusion is that she does make a deal with ursula (TWICE in kh canon). A metaphorical deal with the devil. So she MAY have some darkness in her. I can see it.

Also I'd prefer if elsa wasnt a princess (even tho shes heavily implied to be). You already summarized the bulk of my issue (she def FEELS like she has darkness. Shes the riku to Anna's sora/kairi). But also... dammit just throw Anna a bone! Let Anna be special for once! A northuldran married a human prince and one of their daughters became this 5th elemental spirit of ice meant to bring balance to the world and the other is... just a normal person with no Let her have that cool light magic destiny. Then elsa can just be her protector. The aladdin or Phillip

[jacobbelow]

I initially thought that Megara from ‘Hercules’ was a part of the original Disney Princess line-up and got dropped. By all accounts in my book, she should be considered a princess, because…
A) She ends up with the son of the king of Gods.
B) She was indeed a princess in the original myth
C) Her voice actress is Susan Egan, who did the role of Belle originally on Broadway.


All I’m saying is that if Esmeralda could initially fit into the princess line-up, and if Mulan is still qualified to be in the line-up to this day, then I don’t see any reason for Meg not to be!

[CDRachelsauthorofMMroman-eeci]

i would love to see Yzma as a bad guy around, rest in peace Eartha

[flutterfan]

love the video so far its also worth noting though, alice IS technically a princess at least in the alice in wonderland books themselves, and she was meant to become one by the end of the movie as well, she also has been sparsely included in some disney princess brands alongside marie from the aristocats, besides esmeralda and tink theyre EASILY the weirdest "members"

[basiliskr]

I think Mirabel has a good shot of being a Princess of Heart. Look at Alice. By herself, she wasn't anything special. Her special powers as a Princess of Heart only matter when they're gathered together. In the movie, Mirabel herself isn't special, it is her love of her family and desire to support them that makes her special.

Besides, by the end of Encanto, Mirabel is hinted at inheriting the miracle. The argument there could be that Abuela was a princess and Mirabel inherited her light. It could be something they could also do with Kairi and her own grandmother and could explain why both Elsa and Anna are qualified to be princesses.

[vrageanalyst]

I think the difference between Elsa in a big degree is she had powers that could hurt people through her emotions. If another princess had powers that they couldn't control I feel like they could've also accidentally hurt someone though your point does still stand since she tried to kill people in the movie. But yeah idk I think jasmine or Ariel or hell aurora could have accidentally hurt someone if their emotions wend haywire
