!!Disney/{{Cinderella}}
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cinderella-disneyscreencaps_com-5347_4091.jpg]]

Born to a wealthy man who was later widowed, her stepmother, Lady Tremaine, was jealous of her beauty in comparison to her own daughters. She was forced to work as a maid under her care after her father died, and she wanted to go to the royal ball that was to be held by Prince Charming. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, she was able to meet and fall in love with the Prince, until the stroke of midnight forced her to flee before the magic of the Fairy Godmother broke, leaving behind only a glass slipper.

->'''Voiced by:''' Illene Woods, Creator/JenniferHale
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her original design gave her strawberry-blonde hair, but the TV shows, the dolls, the backpacks and so forth have her with clean-blonde hair. They also changed her dress, which was silver in the movie, to blue in everything else sold with her in it.
* AlmostKiss: With Prince Charming, before she's interrupted by the clock striking midnight.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: In contrast to her stepsisters, whose main traits are "ugly and mean".
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Turns out even a [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Disney Princess]] has her limits. In the third movie Lucifer learns this the hard way when Cinderella sends him crashing off of the pumpkin carriage into the lake.
--> '''Cinderella''': Bad kitty!
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: She's the blonde to her two stepsisters (a brunette and a redhead). Interestingly, by the sequels the evil one is the brunette.
* CinderellaCircumstances: Obviously.
* DamselInDistress: This is more obviously invoked when she is locked in the tower room. In order to get to the ball, first she needs the help of the mice, and then the fairy godmother. And technically the prince saves her from Lady Tremaine's clutches by making her his princess.
* DamselOutOfDistress: She does her best to be competent and self-reliant as often as she can, and only accepts help when she has no choice. Most of the time, Cinderella helps herself- doing all the chores on top of fixing up a dress, making sure she can go to the ball, whipping out the slipper to show the duke.
* DeadpanSnarker: Particular nice for one, but has a snarky sense of humor nonetheless.
-->"Maybe I should interrupt the...music lesson."
* DisappearedDad: We actually get a good look at him in the movie's StorybookOpening, but that's about it.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Her magical dress does this sometimes.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: The first princess to get one of her own in her movie.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Specifically to her legion of mice, but she also is friends with birds, a dog and a horse.
* GirlInTheTower: In the final act, she is locked in her tower room, where she had to live after her father's death.
* TheGirlWhoFitsThisSlipper: {{Subverted|Trope}}; the slipper breaks before she can try it on. Fortunately, however, she was smart enough to ''keep the other shoe'', and being able to produce its match does more to prove her identity than just fitting the slipper would have done (although the Grand Duke tries it on her anyhow just to make it official).
* GorgeousGarmentGeneration: The scene where her ruined dress is transformed into a sparkling silver one is a very iconic scene for the movie, the line, and Disney itself.
* HairDecorations: She wears a bow and head scarf in her peasant outfit, a bow headband with her pink dress, and a black headband with her silver gown.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Strawberry blond, but otherwise she's beautiful, young, kind, determined and patient. This trope could possibly explain why she was made outright blonde in the merchandise.
* HotConsort: The prince is first stunned by her and possibly marries her because of her loveliness and grace.
* HopeSpringsEternal: Her biggest virtue. The third film [[{{deconstruction}} deconstructed]] a bit that she cannot just hope a better life, she must also '''do''' it in order to make it come true.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Her eyes represent her hopeful optimistic nature and genuine kindness.
* IWantSong: "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes".
* KarmicJackpot: Protecting those legions of rats from her Lady Tremaine's traps sure came in handy.
* LooseLips: In the third movie when she admits that she was the princess in front of the stepmother, causing her to take the slipper from Cinderella and dropping it, causing it to break.
* MissingMom: Cinderella's mom gets a couple tiny nods; the prologue makes it clear that she died in the backstory and the main reason her dad married again was because he thought she needed a mother. ''Then'' he died too.
* NiceGirl: Absurdly so. It pays off in the end, though.
* NiceShoes: Her glass slippers.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Was about to swat Lucifer with her broom after he purposely ruined her clean had there not been someone at the door.
* NotSoStoic: For most of her movie, she manages to be [[ThePollyanna quietly cheerful while being treated as a slave in her own home]]. She finally breaks down when the stepsisters ruin her dress and, with it, her chance to go to the ball. This is what finally triggers the fairy godmother to appear to her: when she gives up hope.
* OfficialCouple: With Prince Charming.
* OperaGloves: Her magic dress has opera length gloves.
* PimpedOutDress: Layered skirts, sparkles and complete with opera gloves and glass slippers.
* PinkMeansFeminine: The dress the mice made for her, and it crossed with DoomedNewClothes. And in the sequel, she wore a [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]] and blue PaletteSwap of her iconic ball gown. The dress itself was intended to look very girly and old-fashioned, in contrast to the more elegant silver dress.
* PluckyGirl: Refuses to appear less than cheerful in front of her horrid family and always has a smile for her animal friends.
* ThePollyanna: Possibly her most notable trait is her determination to stay cheerful and hopeful.
* ProperLady: Like the other classic-era Princesses (Snow White and Aurora), Cinderella is a perfectly demure and gentle young lady.
* ProtagonistTitle: The movie is named after her.
* RagsToRiches: Since Rags to Riches are often called "Cinderella stories", that's a given.
* SilkHidingSteel: She puts on a stoic smile and cheerful demeanor every day in front of her oppressors, never letting them get to her despite her abuse.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Cinderella has conversations with her mice friends.
* TokenGoodTeammate: In her family, when living with Lady Tremaine and her daughters.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Cinderella III''. She does a backflip out of a demonic carriage, and rides horseback to crash her own wedding.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her nightgown and the dress she wore as a child. And, of course, her iconic ballgown tends to be blue in merchandise. Though as fans are wont to point out, her ballgown is actually silver and white in the proper film.
* TheUnfavorite: One of the very early examples and more or less the TropeCodifier. She has a WickedStepmother who treats her like shit and uses her as her personal slave, while her two stepsisters are spoiled brats who get everything they want.
* UnkemptBeauty: Even when her dress is ruined by her stepsisters, she still looks beautiful. Also shown in the third movie when her wedding dress and hair is ruined again and she still keeps her beauty.
* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: "The spell will be broken." All of Cinderella's princess attire disappears.

!![[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belle_princess_3953.jpg]]

A young French peasant woman with a passion for reading, she is considered the odd one out in her small hamlet, but widely renowned for her great beauty, especially by the narcissistic hunter Gaston. Her father Maurice, while lost in a forest, trespasses upon the castle of a Beast who is a cursed prince. The Beast only releases him when she agrees to stay with him forever, which he hopes will eventually lead to her loving him and break the spell that made him a Beast. After a night of coming to terms with each other, they slowly bond and fall in love.

->'''Voiced by:''' Paige O'Hara, Julie Nathanson
----
* [[AllLovingHero All Loving Heroine]]: In that she helps not only save Beast, but the whole castle.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Regarded as odd by the other townspeople for her love of reading and for being the daydreamer that she is; Belle herself has a hard time finding someone other than her father to befriend.
* AscendedFangirl: Belle reads romantic adventure stories about far-off places and magic spells while wishing for adventure in the great wide somewhere.
* BeastAndBeauty: One half of the TropeCodifier.
* BrainyBrunette: She's introduced reading a book, and Belle has long, brown hair, most often tied back in a low ponytail. Her reading is something that sets her apart from the other townsfolk, most notably the blonde Bimbettes.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Beast because of the AllLovingHero aspect.
%%
%%Do Not add BrownEyes regarding Belle to this page, due to Edit Wars over whether her eyes are Brown or Hazel. Anyone who does so will be banned. This is an admin decision.
%%
* CharacterTics: Belle [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belle_stray_hair_8311.jpg tucks back a lock of hair that's always falling in her face]].
* CostumePorn: Her yellow ball gown for her DanceOfRomance with the Beast, among other just slightly less fancy dresses.
* CuteBookworm: The townspeople think she's odd for reading so much but not one of them denies her beauty.
* DaddysGirl: In this case, encouraging his inventing streak. Also, the movie really begins with her selfless offer to the Beast to save him at the cost of herself.
* DamselInDistress: She willingly gives herself to the Beast to allow for her father's release. Although she did attempt to escape, she ends up needing to be rescued from wolves by the Beast. Later, when she is captured and imprisoned by Gaston, Chip rescues her with her father's automatic wood-chopper machine.
* DeadpanSnarker: Around Gaston. This moment when he proposes.
--> '''I just don't deserve you!'''
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: "If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!" There is very little effort put into ''enforcing'' that proclamation.
* Franchise/DisneyPrincess: Advertising involving her showcases her golden ball gown, i.e., the princesses outfit she has in the movie.
* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: Belle [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/belle_curtsy_4557.jpg curtsies to Beast before they begin their dance]]. This is the first time she's given him a move indicating such respect.
%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Leukine
* {{GASP}}: Belle does a quick one and turns away when she first sees Beast.
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her gold ensemble in the famous ballroom scene.
* GrandStaircaseEntrance: The famous ballroom scene.
* HappyHolidaysDress: The only princess who gets one during the course of a movie; appropriately ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas''.
%%
%%Do Not add HazelEyes regarding Belle to this page, due to Edit Wars over whether her eyes are Brown or Hazel. Anyone who does so will be banned. This is an admin decision.
%%
* IAmSong: More like a 'She Is' Song, since it's mostly sung by the townspeople.
* IWantSong: "Belle (Reprise)".
* ImNotHungry: Belle refuses to eat dinner with the Beast (at first), with these exact words.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Belle's yellow ball gown appears like this is some shots (specifically close-ups during the West Wing Balcony scene).
* InformedAttractiveness: While certainly pretty, she's described as an unparalleled beauty in the movie, which also depicts almost every other woman as busty and very attractive, particularly the Three Bimbettes. Her design is taller and more slender, thus giving her a different kind of beauty than the other women. Also, she shines only because of her "pure" natural beauty because she doesn't play it up (until she starts dressing elegant while in the castle), in contrast to all of the young women appearing in the movie. Even the only other innocent girl in the town - the one with almost no speaking lines, asked in the song "Belle" how is her family - is more fashionably dressed than our heroines, while the rest - the Bimbettes, Babette, the woman teasing the baker - [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench use a heavy dose of sex-appeal]].
* InHarmsWay: Belle craves adventure, because her hometown is safe and happy and boring.
* ItsAllMyFault: Belle admits this twice. First, when she inadvertently gives Gaston the inspiration to lock her and her father in their cellar and lead a TorchesAndPitchforks mob against the Beast, and the second when she felt like she caused the Beast's demise.
* LettingHerHairDown: Her hair is out of its ponytail during the wolf scene and the AfterActionPatchup. After this, she is more open to and friendly with Beast.
* LoveEpiphany: "There's Something There" has a moment where she realizes she has feelings for Beast.
* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: A bungling inventor's beautiful daughter. Unusual for the trope, she's far more loyal to her father than anyone else but considering the other villagers, can you blame her?
* MeaningfulName: Her name is French for "Beautiful". It's even [[InvokedTrope lampshaded in song!]]
--> ''Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty! Her looks have got no parallel!"
* MissingMom: Like many Disney characters, she's mysteriously missing a parent and no real explanation is given for it. In the musicals, it's explained that she's dead but both Belle and Maurice remember her fondly.
* NiceGirl: She adores her father, she's friendly with the villagers despite what they think of her, and even Gaston doesn't get more than a StealthInsult.
* ObliviouslyBeautiful: She's so preoccupied reading books she doesn't realize she's considered the most beautiful girl in town.
* OfficialCouple: With the Beast (Adam), as it's the premise of the fairy tale.
* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only one in the village who doesn't worship Gaston and sees him as the arrogant idiot that he is. Ironically the townspeople think Belle is the village's resident strange person, for being a daydreamer and reading books.
* OperaGloves: Her gold dress comes with matching long gloves to up the formalness.
* PimpedOutCape: Her winter outfit comes with a furred lined cape.
* PimpedOutDress: Several. Even the simple green and pink dresses she wears would have been made of expensive fabrics.
* PluckyGirl: Belle refuses repeatedly to submit to the Beast and only treats him better when he starts reforming.
* ThePowerOfLove: Her love for Beast is what breaks the curse. This is why all the servants ship her with him.
* PrettyInMink: Belle's wine-colored winter cape with white fur trim. In ''The Enchanted Christmas'', she is also seen in a scarlet jacket with white fur trim, and later a matching cape and skirt for when she goes out into the woods. They seem to like putting her in furs.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Downplayed. While she is ultimately a princess she only wears the pink winter dress in one scene.
* ProperLady: Certainly looks like this with a modest, caring, respectable demeanour, and a perfect curtsy. In nature though she's definitely a SpiritedYoungLady.
* TheProtagonist: The story centers on Belle's growing romantic relationship with [[{{Deuteragonist}} the Beast.]]
* RescueRomance: Her relationship with Beast begins to develop after he rescues her from wolves.
* RuleOfSymbolism: According to the DVDCommentary, her blue dress symbolizes how she doesn't fit in with the rest of the town.
* ScarpiaUltimatum: Confronted with one in the third act: "Marry Gaston or your father will be locked up in the nut house." She takes a third option.
* SheCleansUpNicely: She was beautiful in her plain clothes, and the time spent in the castle shows her in various elegant dresses. The ballroom scene takes it UpToEleven.
* SilkHidingSteel: Belle reforms Beast first by standing up to him and then with more gentle affection. She's technically a captive with no authority the whole time, and yet she manages to turn the situation to her favor as much as it's possible.
* SimpleYetOpulent: Her green and pink dresses are less fancy than her golden ballgown but are still made of expensive fabrics.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She's completely disinterested in the obnoxious and cocky [[TheCasanova Gaston]] and hostile to Beast before he mellows. After he rescues her, reigns in his temper, and shows her the library, ''then'' she falls for him.
* SmallTownBoredom: "There must be more than this provincial life."
* SpiritedYoungLady: Despite her proper lady demeanor, she seeks a more exciting life than being Gaston's HouseWife and is not intimidated by an angry chimera.
* StaticCharacter: Belle is an oddly static character by the standards of Disney protagonists. At the beginning of the movie, she's a compassionate, selfless, intelligent, assertive, and perceptive woman. At the end of the movie, she's still all of those things; she only changes in her attitude toward the Beast, which requires no fundamental character shift on her part.
* StockholmSyndrome: Averted in her relationship with Beast. At the beginning, when he mistreats her, she is quick to retort and very clearly uncowed by his behaviour. It is only when he starts treating her well and continues to do so for what appears to be quite a while that Belle begins to fall for him, and she only admits it after he frees her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Towards Beast. Justified as 'love for a monstrous beast' was the cure.
* TakeMeInstead: Belle says this to Beast when she wants to be in her father's place, and the Beast accepts her offer. Her captivity is her word of honor.
* TitleCharacter: Belle is the "Beauty" part in the title.
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her plain dress, which according to the DVDCommentary, also symbolizes other aspects.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Maurice isn't exactly ugly, but he has a goofy character design; short and portly.
* UnflinchingWalk: Belle in a comedic example, where she's able to thread her way through town on what appears to be a market day and effortlessly blocks falling water with a hanging sign as she passes under it, all the while reading a book.
* WideEyedIdealist: Belle is most definitely a dreamer who dreams of a fairytale romance and adventure. She often lives her fantasies and dreams through reading novels.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Belle is instrumental in pulling the Beast out of his depression and self-loathing. Especially notable because she has to learn this about him the hard way first and initially brushes off the servants insistence that he indeed ''isn't'' that bad once your get to know him.
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: "He's kind, gentle, and would never do anything to hurt me." The villagers don't believe her.[[/folder]]

!![[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiana32_9640.png]]

Born in New Orleans in an all-black neighborhood, she has had a talent for cooking since she was younger and aspires to own a restaurant. She meets the exiled Prince Naveen, turned into a frog by voodoo magic, who presumes a kiss from Tiana will break the spell upon him: but she too is turned into a frog, and together the two then try to get out of the bayou and back to New Orleans.

->'''Voiced by:''' Anika Noni Rose
----
%%* TwentiesBobHaircut: In the "Almost There" montage.
* ActionGirl: As a frog, she destroys Facilier's amulet and kicks the frog hunter's butts. The most active of any character in the movie save perhaps the alligator.
* AlmostKiss: During "Ma Belle Evangeline" with Naveen.
* AllWorkVsAllPlay: All work vs Naveen's all play. It's literally all work; she doesn't even sleep.
* BadassInCharge: [[spoiler: Gets her dream to own her own restaurant and becoming more of a badass along the way.]]
* BalefulPolymorph: She really doesn't like the idea of being a frog.
* BattleCouple: She and Naveen fight the redneck frog hunters together.
* BewitchedAmphibians: The premise of the movie is based on Literature/TheFrogPrince.
* BrainyBrunette: She's certainly more savvy and sensible than [[TheHedonist Naveen]] and [[GenkiGirl Charlotte.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Goes through a lot in the film. First, her dreams of getting her restaurant are crushed and then [[spoiler:she is led to believe Naveen betrayed her]], leading her to the DespairEventHorizon.
* BrownEyes: Showing her sensible, down-to-earth, and hardworking nature.
* BrutalHonesty:
** Has no problem laying some hard truths on Naveen.
** Winds up doing the same to Ray later on in the film, when [[spoiler: she's devastated over thinking Naveen has betrayed her, and turned human to marry Charlotte while leaving her alone as a frog. Ray begins to tell him that he and Evangeline will make it right, prompting Tiana to angrily interrupt him and tell him Evangeline is nothing more than a star, not a firefly, and that he's being blind and foolish. Gets inverted when Ray thinks she's just lashing out from being brokenhearted, and he winds up as a star in the sky next to Evangeline after his death.]]
* ButtMonkey: She can't seem to catch a break. She's knocked into a table, transformed into a frog, literally tongue-tied to Naveen and caught by frog hunters, among other things.
* CareerVersusMan: Tiana is initially dedicated to ignoring the possibility of romance (and everything else) in favor of her pursuing dream of opening her own restaurant. When push comes to shove, she concludes that sacrificing her newfound love for Naveen in order to achieve her goal alone wouldn't be worth it -- but that doesn't mean she gives up on her goal, simply that she expands it to include him:
-->'''Tiana:''' My dream wouldn't be complete... without you in it.
* CharacterDevelopment: She loosens up and focuses on what other things she needs out of her life instead of just having a restaurant and doing right by her father's memory.
* CharacterTics: Tiana squints one eye when she cringes.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Charlotte. The first scene in the movie is the two of them as children listening to a story.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Mama Odie tries to tell her to look at what she ''needs'' instead of what she ''wants'' during the "Dig A Little Deeper" song. Tiana, however, interprets it a little differently.
-->'''Odie:''' Do you understand now, miss froggy?\\
'''Tiana:''' Yes! I just need to dig a little deeper and work even harder to get my restaurant!\\
'''Odie:''' Sigh. ''(FacePalm)''
* CoolCrown: She dons four during her movie, and went on to become one of the few princesses to always wear one in merchandise.
* DaddysGirl: Facilier tries to exploit this convincing her that working with him would fufill her father's dream It backfires on him when she realizes what her father would truly want.
* DespairEventHorizon: Hits it hard after [[spoiler:she thinks Naveen betrayed her and became human without her.]]
* {{Determinator}}: In her quest for getting her restaurant she works herself to the bone.
* DisappearedDad: He died in World War I.
* DishDash: Her waitressing skills are impressive.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: A staunch believer of this: "I've worked hard for everything I've got" from one song and "I'm almost there" in another.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: By marrying Naveen and becoming a princess, their kiss turns them both back to humans.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Perhaps the most on-the-nose example, since Tiana's one of the only Disney Princesses not from the "fairytale gown" era of fashion as we know it, but also one of the few who really got a decked out wedding dress in her movie.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: Downplayed. She's a fantastic cook and while she's not a {{tomboy}} she's not interested in domestic pursuits or dancing.
* TheFinalTemptation: In the climax, Facilier offers her a vision of what her restaurant could be like, if she gave him back his talisman. He sweet-talks her into it, adding how everyone shunned her for working hard and how nobody believed in her, but in the end she doesn't fall for it.
* FireForgedFriends: She and Naveen start to get along after they fight the redneck frog hunters together.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Naveen: he is lazy and purposeless, but also relaxed, where she is dedicated, hard-working and wound a little too tightly.
** To Charlotte: where Charlotte is ditsy, rich and spoiled, Tiana is level-headed but poor and hard-working.
** To Dr. Facilier: they both want to be successful, but Facilier is motivated by greed and spite where Tiana is driven by hope and ambition. Also, Facilier depends heavily on others, while Tiana strives to be independent.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: When Naveen initially arrived, he tried to woo Tiana while she was cleaning tables, but she ignored him.
* FourthDateMarriage: [[spoiler:With Naveen, as frogs. It's implied a little more time passed before their wedding as humans.]]
* GirlishPigtails: She wore them as a kid when she was more carefree.
* GoGetterGirl: Works herself to exhaustion in order to move up in the world and become a business owner.
* GorgeousGarmentGeneration: When she's finally transformed back into a human, a wedding dress appears.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Subverted. While she suffers a few disappointments over the movie, ultimately she refuses to take Facilier's offer of the easy, magical way out. In the end, even after she marries Naveen, and he reconciles with his filthy-rich family, it's still her money, the coffee cans full of the cash she scraped together from her tips from three jobs, that gets her that building. All it takes is a stare from her new alligator best friend to get those bankers to accept the original offer. It's possible the extra money is only used to help fix the place up, but even then Tiana and Naveen do all the physical labor by themselves.
* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: With Naveen initially, she very much has this attitude. The tongue wrapping thing gave the other impression.
* HeroicBSOD: Briefly after she loses her restaurant, she becomes stoic and stale.
* ICantDance: She never has before but she learns pretty quickly, especially considering she is a frog at the time.
* InSeriesNickname: Her best friend, Charlotte, calls her "Tia".
* [[InkSuitActor Ink Suit Actress]]: Anika Noni Rose bears more than a slight resemblance!
* InstantExpert: At being a frog.
* InTheBlood: Tiana apparently inherited her passion for cooking from her father, who passed his skills onto her when she was little.
* IWantSong: "Almost There", though unlike many of the others, she wants something ''specific'' (a restaurant) and has already worked hard to get it by the time she bursts into song.
* LonelyAtTheTop: In Facilier's vision, Tiana may have the restaurant she always wanted, but Naveen (nor anyone else she knows) isn't there to share it with her. Once Facilier shows her a memory of her father, she realizes he may not have realized ''his'' dream, but he was happy being with his family nonetheless. And in the end, when she ''does'' realize her dream, she does it together with Naveen, averting this trope.
* LoveEpiphany: During "Ma Belle Evangeline" with Naveen, but she immediately becomes awkward and distant and tries to repress it.
* LoveRevelationEpiphany: During "Ma Belle Evangeline" with Naveen, but she immediately becomes awkward and distant and tries to repress it.
* ModestRoyalty: Post-royal marriage, she dresses in old work clothes and takes a hands-on approach to fixing the restaurant.
* NiceGirl: One of the most cheerful and level-headed characters in the movie.
* OfficialCouple: With Prince Naveen.
* OnlySaneWoman:
** She's the only female not swooning over Naveen.
** Unlike Naveen, she realizes that making a deal with Facilier is immensely stupid. She also doesn't believe in wishing on stars (unlike Charlotte), and the fact that she does so at one point is a sign of how desperate she is, emotionally.
* OneOfTheBoys: During his DiggingYourselfDeeper moment, Naveen refers to her as "one of the guys", clearly offending her.
* OperaGloves: Her magical wedding dress comes with long gloves.
* PimpedOutDress: Has the most dresses out of all the princesses in their main movies, despite being out-pimped by her best friend.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: As a frog she can still kick ass. See ActionGirl.
* PluckyGirl: Exhibit A is her impressive work ethic while remaining cheerful.
* PoorCommunicationKills: She has a habit of making erroneous assumptions (such as what Mama Odie meant with "dig a little deeper", or immediately deciding Naveen must have betrayed her when she saw his impostor marrying Charlotte).
* PositiveDiscrimination: With all the controversy surrounding being the first black Disney Princess, and simply ''being'' a Disney Princess at that, Tiana was really pushed as a self-reliant and sufficient character. [[TropesAreNotBad This ended up playing a role in her development throughout the movie.]]
* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:Without her realizing it, love between her and Naveen was the cure to her froggy curse all along.]]
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "[[RunningGag It's not]] [[IronicEcho slime]]! [[InsistentTerminology It's MUCUS]]!"
* PrettyInMink: During "Almost There", and Facilier's eerie visualization of this dream in the climax, she wears a white fox fur boa.
* PrimAndProperBun: The hairstyle she wears throughout the film (as a human, at least) because of her work ethic. No impractical fashion styles for her.
* RagsToRoyalty: [[spoiler:DoubleSubverted. Tiana marries Naveen and officially becomes a princess by marriage but she doesn't get the royal treatment and instead opens up her own restaurant with Naveen. She's still implied to be fabulously wealthy at the end; she's just [[ModestRoyalty the same humble, hardworking woman she's always been]].]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Charlotte (more passionate) and Naveen's red (more fun-loving).
* SelfMadeWoman: [[spoiler:She is a business owner after the climax; the building was bought with her money and fixed up with her (and her husband's) labor.]]
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her green dress doesn't cover much of the back.
* SimpleYetOpulent: Her blue dress is simpler than Charlotte's big pink ones but still obviously high quality.
%%* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Naveen.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Much unlike almost all Disney Princesses before her (except Mulan), but [[Disney/{{Tangled}} very much]] [[Disney/{{Frozen}} like the ones after her]] she is prone to suffering AmusingInjuries.
* TheSouthpaw: The voice actress specifically requested Tiana be left-handed, like herself.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In the chapter book continuation of the film, ''The Stolen Jewel'', it is revealed both Tiana (and Naveen) hold the ability of communicating with animals, having kept that ability from their time as frogs.
* StraightMan: To [[AllWorkVSAllPlay Naveen]] and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Louis]].
* SupremeChef: She can create a dinner from scratch in mere seconds and managed to improve Mama Odie's... interesting looking gumbo.
* TomboyPrincess: [[spoiler:Her hands-on approach to creating her restaurant after her royal marriage showcases this.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her favorite condiment is Tabasco Sauce.
* TrueBlueFemininity: The dress she wears at Charlotte's party, the elegant princess gown that contrasts her working-girl yellow peasant dress.
* WellExcuseMePrincess: The critical half to the lazy Naveen.
* {{Workaholic}}: Perhaps her FatalFlaw as she got close to running herself into the ground, but with little regard for friends or fun.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: She and Naveen have only a limited amount of time to get Charlotte to kiss Naveen and turn them back into humans.

* ItsAllMyFault: Belle admits this twice. First, when she causes her father and herself to be locked in an asylum, and the second when she felt like she caused the Beast's demise.

* CharacterTics: Belle tucks back a lock of hair that's always falling in her face.

* HotConsort: The prince is first stunned by her and marries her because of her loveliness and grace.

** DamselOutOfDistress: It should be noted, however, that she does her best to be competent and self-reliant as often as she can, and only accepts help when she has no choice. Most of the time, Cinderella helps herself- doing all the chores on top of fixing up a dress, making sure she can go to the ball, whipping out the slipper to show the duke.

%%* [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Five Temperament Ensemble]]: Leukine
* FriendToAllChildren: In the beginning, Belle was seen affectionately ruffling a child's hair. She also gets along great with Chip.

* DamselInDistress: Despite being pretty self-reliant, she does need Naveen to rescue her from the frog catchers, and needs Lottie's hiring her to get the last bit of money to achieve her goal.

* ProperLady: Like the other classic-era Princesses (Snow White and Aurora), Cinderella is a perfectly obedient, demure, and gentle young lady.

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Cinderella III''. She does a backflip out of a demonic carriage, and rides horseback to crash her own wedding. That is quite a level up in badassery considering the coolest thing she did in the first movie was go to a party.

* MeaningfulName: Her name is French for "Beautiful".

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Belle is instrumental in pulling the Beast out of his depression and self-loathing.

* TwentiesBobHaircut: In the "Almost There" montage.

* AllWorkVsAllPlay: All work vs Naveen's all play.

* BalefulPolymorph: She really doesn't like the idea of being a frog. At all.

* BrutalHonesty: Has no problem laying some hard truths on Naveen.

* DaddysGirl: Facilier tries to exploit this. It backfires on him.

* {{Determinator}}: In her quest for getting her restaurant.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: A staunch believer of this.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: This trope applies. By marrying Naveen and becoming a princess, their kiss turns them both back to humans.

* GirlishPigtails: As a kid.

* GorgeousGarmentGeneration: When she's finally transformed back into a human.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Subverted. While she suffers a few disappointments over the movie, ultimately she refuses to take Facilier's offer of the easy, magical way out. And in the end, even after she marries Naveen, and he reconciles with his filthy-rich family, it's still her money, the coffee cans full of the cash she scraped together from her tips from three jobs, that gets her that building. All it takes is a stare from her new alligator best friend to get those bankers to accept the original offer. It's possible the extra money is only used to help fix the place up, but even then Tiana and Naveen do all the physical labor by themselves.
* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: With Naveen initially, she very much has this attitude.

* ICantDance: But she learns pretty quickly, especially considering she is a frog at the time.

* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only female not swooning over Naveen.

* PintsizedPowerhouse: As a frog. See ActionGirl.

* PrimAndProperBun: The hairstyle she wears throughout the film (as a human, at least).

* [[SelfMadeMan Self-Made Woman]]: [[spoiler:She is a business owner after the climax; the building was bought with her money and fixed up with her (and her husband's) labor.]]

* SlapSlapKiss: Her relationship with Naveen.

* TomboyPrincess: [[spoiler:Her hands-on approach to creating her restaurant after her marriage showcases this.]]

* BewitchedAmphibians: The premise of the movie is based on TheFrogPrince.

* BrainyBrunette: She's certainly more savvy and sensible than Naveen and Charlotte.

* ProperLady: Like the other classic-era Princesses (Snow White and Aurora), Cinderella is a perfectly obedient, demure, and gentle young lady.
