First let me apologize for the pictures. My life is जाम packed right now and I wanted to get this लेख published seeing as that we are already past चमेली month. So I used tiffany88's moodboards instead.

Well, it's that time again, now that चमेली महीना has ended to give आप my सूची of who I think Jasmine's प्रिय princesses would be. Sorry that it's a little late. As always, I don't profess to be an expert on this. Also, I eventually just ended up posting this because I couldn't really come to a conclusion.


10. Cinderella

Yeah...I think we all saw this one coming. Though it's predictable, it's not without merit. चमेली and सिंडरेला are possibly the two most dissimilar princesses. While सिंडरेला handles most issues with tact and foresight, चमेली is immediately temperamentally responsive and impulsive. I think Cinderella's situation would totally frustrate चमेली as well as Cinderella's propensity to trust blindly in faith and dreams; चमेली doesn't believe in any of that and takes matters into her own hands. Also, Jasmine's tenacity in speaking her own mind would clash terribly with Cinderella's "keep your head down and just keep believing" mentality. I could see चमेली yelling at her screen, imploring सिंडरेला to speak up for herself and tell the stepsisters off.

9. Aurora

Like Cinderella, Aurora also blindly goes where she is directed and we never see चमेली have any sense of duty towards being a princess, and I think she would be very frustrated with Aurora accompanying the परियों to the गढ़, महल after she discovers she is a princess; चमेली would surely run away to prevent being condemned to that life. I think she may find Aurora a least a bit clever, we don't see Aurora's sass या outspokenness at all, so I don't see any reason चमेली would have any fondness for her.

8. Snow White

I think that चमेली might be really bothered द्वारा the stereotypes that Snow White perpetuates, but I think she would at least care और for Snow White's mouth and snark and how Snow White managed to care for herself out on her own, because that's something चमेली wanted to do.

7. Rapunzel

The strong parallel here is being cooped up and never leaving one location; Rapunzel has never left the tower, and चमेली has never been outside the palace walls. I think the disconnect begins with Rapunzel's insecure, optimistic, and endlessly adorable attitude. चमेली is not easily approached या impressed and while she can definitely be naïve, she doesn't allow the wool to be pulled over her eyes as often as Rapunzel does. I think Rapunzel also doesn't have the level of independence that चमेली seeks.

6. Belle

चमेली would be very fond of Belle's persistent rejection of Gaston, her refusal to back down from the Beast's outrageous demands, and how Belle longs for adventure, but they don't really have a lot in common. चमेली would probably never change places with her father and if she did I think she would hold a lot of contempt for the Beast. I highly doubt चमेली would ever be फ्रेंड्स with the Beast, let alone fall for him, even if he started treating her with kindness. Frankly I don't think that would happen because I think the conversation between चमेली and Beast would be MUCH और explosive and I think चमेली would have tried to escape and she certainly wouldn't try to heal his wounds (though I don't think she would leave him to die in the snow). I don't think she would understand how Belle would ever प्यार her captor, even if he did change for the better, although I don't think she would necessarily blame Belle for it. I think she also may be part of the pack that gets irritated that Belle laments about her situation but doesn't do anything about it, considering that चमेली was forcibly cooped up द्वारा the law and the physical constraints of the palace, and Belle never had those kind of constrictions. I think चमेली would definitely like Belle, but not as much as some other princesses.

5. Tiana

चमेली would definitely admire Tiana's independence and how she's made her own name for herself and works hard towards obtaining her restaurant. चमेली wants to be autonomous and have her own identity besides 'princess' and I think she would प्यार that Tiana creates her own dream and does everything on her own. She would especially प्यार that Tiana gets to be a princess in the end and have all those luxuries but it's और of a bonus along with her finally obtaining her restaurant. I think चमेली would also प्यार that Tiana doesn't suffer fools and constantly spurns men and criticizes Naveen because I think चमेली would see Naveen as deserving of it. I see Jas as a little और fun loving than Tiana so maybe she would wish that Tiana would take और risks and let loose once in awhile, but mostly she would प्यार her.

4. Pocahontas

I feel like चमेली would have a girlcrush on Pocahontas. Pocahontas basically lives Jasmine's dream life. Pocahontas has indepdence and all the freedom in the world and people respect and value her opinions when she voices it. Pocahontas is also expected to marry Kocoum but clearly does not want to, although चमेली doesn't seem to carry any burden of responsibility for her people the way चमेली does for her tribe. So Pocahontas also is going through the pressures of being forced into marriage. The whole war/two sides plotline between Pocahontas and John I could see चमेली finding somewhat romantic as well, and she may understand Pocahontas feeling so torn about John because if Pocahontas saves John, she risks disapproval from her people and possible outcasting. I think where the frustration with Pocahontas would come in would be Pocahontas' specific impulsivity. She rides waterfalls but when it comes to interpersonal confrontation she’s reticent. I think that would frustrate चमेली who has no problem getting in faces.

3. Mulan

While they don't necessarily have a lot in common I think it wouldn't matter because what चमेली has in verbal tenacity मूलन matches in her actions. They're almost opposites-- चमेली talks the talk और than she walks the walk and मूलन is the reverse, still putting her head down and caring about honor and respect द्वारा the end of the film. चमेली would think मूलन is absolutely amazing in cutting her hair, freeing herself from her societal constraints and proving herself in the army. I think she would प्यार that मूलन knows how to fight, how she uses her intellect and strategy in war and how मूलन proves everybody wrong and saves China. She would see मूलन as some sort of amazing girl superhero. People may argue that Jas wouldn't like that मूलन was willing to marry to make her parents happy, but considering that चमेली lives in the same culture, she may understand why मूलन was going to go through with it, and appreciate that it didn't happen anyway. चमेली wants people to respect her and hear her out, and people definitely listen to Mulan.


2. Merida

There's not a lot I think चमेली would dislike about Merida. Mer is defiant and absolutely, और than any other princess, REFUSES to let herself be wed to a complete stranger. While चमेली is willing to marry if it's for love, Merida explicitly states she is not ready for marriage at all. I think चमेली would feel so inspired द्वारा Merida's "And I'll be shooting for my own hand!". Like Jasmine, Merida voices her opinion quite frequently but still doesn't really have a lot of agency and has to be rescued, but she does the best with what she's got. I don't think चमेली would be particularly bothered द्वारा Merida feeding her mother the cake, I think she would understand that the cake was not poisoned and wouldn't see it as cruel (Someone like Belle, however, would be totally disgusted द्वारा that action, poisoned cake या not.) चमेली would प्यार Merida's tomboyish streak even if चमेली doesn't have that herself, because चमेली can also get physical as well. I also don't think चमेली would be bothered that Merida isn't romantic. चमेली only wants to marry for love, so why wouldn't she be fine that Merida isn't in प्यार yet? I truly think चमेली would find Merida inspiring.



1. Ariel

What's to say here except that चमेली would प्यार everything about Ariel. I think the line "bright young women, sick of swimmin, ready to stand" would really resonate with Jasmine. Ariel is also a princess who has a lot of pressure put on her to live up to expectations that longs to explore. She stands up for herself but also actually follows through in trying to achieve her independence (whereas मूलन showed everything through action rather than verbally, Ariel did both.) चमेली would understand the oppression Ariel feels as well as Ariel loving someone considered "forbidden" and having to change her father's mind. She would प्यार Ariel's risk taking nature, her excitability when she finally ends up in the human world and both of them have this teenage rebellious streak that may not be well thought out but shows their determination. She would प्यार how Ariel shows that just because आप have everything, it doesn't necessarily make आप happy. I wonder if she would be annoyed द्वारा Ariel's naivety when it comes to Ursula but चमेली also didn't pick up on Jafar hypnotizing her father, so I don't know. Like I कहा before, चमेली wants her voice to be heard, and Ariel makes people listen to what she wants द्वारा ironically giving up her voice.
