Merida (Brave)
Like a lot of princesses in fantasy tales, Merida finds herself stuck with the likelihood of an arranged marriage. Even beating her suitors in an archery contest won't change things, so Merida (also like many fantasy princesses) makes a deal with a witch to hopefully avoid her fate. Of course, the deal has a catch: Merida's mother gets turned into a bear, and the spell will be permanent unless Merida can "mend the bond torn by pride." Uh oh.
Brave came out in 2012, and was Pixar's first venture into the fantasy genre, as opposed to their usual sci-fi or straight comedy. Since I enjoyed Brave, I had to get this shot of this Merida cosplayer--even if she was in line for lunch. Due to ACen's security restrictions--understandably so--cosplayers aren't allowed to carry actual weapons, even bows, so this cosplayer had to make do with a plunger. It makes the cosplay even cuter, though! I think she's definitely got Merida's personality down.
