1. Ariel, The Little Mermaid
"She has great big eyes compared to the other features on their face," Haner says. "The eyes are the window to the heart, but this person can also trust too easily." One word: Ursula. "She also has relatively thin lips, which relates to someone who is a little bit of a loner; her small nose shows she can be influenced and overpowered by others; and the wide space between her eyebrows relates to her very easygoing and flexible nature. Her natural red hair, although it isn't a facial feature, is also a sign of someone who is fun, flirtacious, passionate, has a good sense of humor, and is playful, but it can mean that the person also is a bit scattered brained."
2. Aurora, Sleeping Beauty
"She has outstanding eyebrows that are full and aren't far apart, which shows her strength, which is stronger than most princesses," she says. "Thicker, larger eyebrows usually relate to the ability of how well you can process toxins, so these people can often drink more alcohol and not be as affected, which makes sense since she was the princess given the poison and still survived. She also has visible upper eyelids, which is a sign of sensitivity and a natural sense of style and beauty, but it's also a sign that if she is going through something she typically won't reach out for help; she'll just try to cope with it on her own, which isn't always best."
3. Belle, Beauty and the Beast
"Belle's widow's peak relates to natural sex appeal," Haner says. Hence Beauty and the Beast. "Her eyebrows are also wide apart, which means she's flexible and easygoing, but her big eyes say that she's too trusting. You can also see the whites under her iris, which is a sign she's stressed and can even relate to being clumsy. Her strong mouth/full lips, show that she is emotionally availability. Overall, she has what the Chinese refer to as a 'high estrogen face,' which consists of deer-in-the-headlights eyes and a plumpness to the cheeks. This typically means that person is more passive than others, but will speak up when necessary."
4. Cinderella, Cinderella
"Her horizontal hairline that juts in on her temples is a sign of a rebel; this is someone who challenges the status quo," Haner says. Or her stepmother. "She also has stronger eyebrows, which is a sign of someone who is a rebel and can set boundaries and be assertive; a tiny nose, which means that she is efficient/gets things done and is onto the next thing; and smaller eyes, which relates to someone who is discerning and isn't gullable." So, take that, nasty step sisters; hello, Prince Charming!
5. Jasmine, Aladdin
"Jasmine has a lot of strengths that show through on her face: she has a larger nose and thicker eyebrows, which mean she is confident, driven, has depth, and wants to achieve something meaningful in life," Haner says. "She isn't one to be submissive. Her hair is also very long and thick, and the thicker, more lustrous your hair can grow, the higher will power you're said to have. The whites of her undereyes also show, which is a sign that she tends to be stressed." But with Jafar trying to kidnap you, what girl wouldn't be stressed?
6. Mulan, Mulan
"Her character has relatively thick eyebrows, so there is assertiveness there that is associated with a warrior personality type," Haner says. Which is fitting, since she disguises herself as a male soldier named "Ping" to bravely take her father's place in the Imperial Army. "She is also someone who can stand up for herself and do what needs to be done without being weak. Her rounded forehead also shows a characteristic of a very intuitive person." Basically, Mulan is the badass of Disney princesses.
7. Snow White, Snow White
"First of all, her eyebrows are so far apart, which means she is too easygoing and can be easily influenced by other people," Haner says. "Her eyebrows are also thin, which show a weakness relating to strength and also speaks to the fact that she isn't able to process toxins that well." This makes perfect sense, since she passed out after eating the poison apple the evil queen gave her. "Her rounded forehead relates to a good imagination, and the fact that it's so high shows that she has a very analytical ability," she says. "She also has small eyes, which means she has more discernment, but it's modified by how far apart her eyebrows are because she is way too influenced by others, so it downgrades the impact of her eyes."
8. Tiana, The Princess and the Frog
"Tiana has very visible upper eyelids and very strong cheeks," Haner says. "Powerful cheeks relate to someone who can speak up, and ironically they're also the sign of a princess and someone who can hold power. And when you see that feature coupled with visible upper eyelids, this strengthens the cheeks even more. However, her eyebrows are very far apart, which is a sign she can be dominated, and her small nose shows lack of power." Which we see hold true when this hopeful waitress desperately kisses a "prince," who's been turned into a frog by a voodoo magician, and instead of him turning into a prince she turns into a frog. #NotOK
