* EarthyBarefootCharacter: Rapunzel is of the youthful innocence variety, plus she's just never needed shoes due to never leaving her tower. Interestingly, no one in the entire film comments on it, aside from Mother Gothel pointing a mirror down at Rapunzel's bare feet and commenting that she's "underdressed"— causing Rapunzel to immediately cup her fingers over her toes. In the storybook version of ''Tangled Ever After'', she's still barefoot, even at her wedding. (In the short film, her dress is too long to tell.) The later storybook ''Ghosts of Christmas Past'' then shows that while she'll shun shoes most of the time, she'll renege to them if it calls for walking in snow.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: She always goes around barefoot.

* HiddenDepths: The sequence where both Merida and her mother "talk to each other" shows that she's ''fully aware'' of the repercussions for her RebelliousPrincess attitude (namely that said action is an open invitation for a clan war), she's just genuinely uprepared emotionally for what she will eventually have to become and is at something of a loss for how she should go about it all.
