However, as they grew up they separated because they did not agree at all with each other on the question of marriage. As a child, Merida was very attached to her mother and she loved the legends she told her. She also has a close bond with her younger siblings, Harris, Hubert and Hamish, (sometimes she even gives them sweets they want).

However, she is also a bit like her mother, Queen Elinor, as she is stubborn and short-tempered in her virtues. She is very similar to her father, King Fergus, and also has a great bond with him, both of whom are rebellious and occitious. She is completely opposed to treatments and princess life, and even enjoys risking her life (sometimes) as she is seen when she ventures into nearby forests or when she climbs Megara Waterfall. She is actually one of the few Disney Princesses who use a weapon in their films. Instead of acting like a classic damsel in distress waiting for her prince charming, she prefers to behave like a brutal warrior with a conscience of sword fighting and bow-throwing arrows (where in that, she is the best in all of DunBroch). She is also used to bad habits and is also a bit of a tomboy. Merida is a brave, daring, adventurous, tenacious, determined, caring, selfless and sensitive young teenage girl, but also incredibly arrogant, stubborn, sarcastic, rebellious, cynical and against everything in her family.
