You got 14 out of 20!

Disney movies have given us some of the most iconic female characters of all time. But let's be honest—whenever people talk about Disney heroines, they almost always focus on the princesses. Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, and Rapunzel get all the attention, while plenty of amazing female characters get pushed to the side.

That's where this female non-princess Disney characters quiz comes in! Today, we're shining a spotlight on Disney's underrated women—the ones who didn't get a tiara but still left a lasting impression.

6 Female Non-Princess Disney Characters

Before you start, here are a few Disney women who aren't princesses but absolutely deserve their flowers:

• Megara (Hercules) – Sarcastic, independent, and way too cool to care about being a princess.
• Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) – A fierce, justice-seeking queen (without the crown).
• Nala (The Lion King) – Not just Simba's love interest—she's a leader in her own right.
• The Blue Fairy (Pinocchio) – The reason Pinocchio got his wish, but does anyone remember her name?
• Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) – The villain, yes, but let's be real—she's also the moment.
• Ursula (The Little Mermaid) – One of Disney's most iconic villains, but not always given the respect she deserves.

How many of these characters do you think you can recognize?

Why Do These Characters Get Overlooked?

For decades, Disney has had a signature formula: a princess, a villain, a love story, and a happily-ever-after. If a female character doesn't fit neatly into that mold, she often gets less attention. But that doesn't mean she's not important!

Here are some reasons why these characters don't always get the credit they deserve:

• They aren't princesses. Disney markets its princess lineup heavily, so characters like Nala (The Lion King) or Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) don't get the same spotlight.
• They don't have a major romance arc. Many classic Disney films revolve around love stories, so strong, independent female characters like Megara (Hercules) or The Blue Fairy (Pinocchio) don't get as much recognition.
• They're villains (but really cool ones). Some of the best female characters in Disney history are the bad guys—think Maleficent or Ursula. But because they aren't the heroes, they often don't get the same love as princesses.
• They're from older films. Some of Disney's best female characters come from classics that younger generations may not have watched (Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, etc.).
