The Female Four (AKA The Four Seasons, 3d Princess or the CGI Disney Princesses) is a crossover between the three CGI movies Tangled, Brave, and Frozen. In this crossover, the main characters are Rapunzel Corona, Merida DunBroch, Princess Anna of Arendelle, and Queen Elsa of Arendelle (in some cases, Moana Waialiki from Moana, Princess Elena from Elena of Avalor, Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon and even Mirabel Madrigal from Encanto are added in as well).

About the Fandom[]

This crossover most likely originated on Tumblr was probably inspired by the Big Four, specifically the Seasons Guardians AU. As the name implies, the four characters in this crossover are usually associated with one of the four seasons. Elsa is seen as Winter for her ice powers and cold nature. Anna is Spring for her “thawing love” and frequent association with flowers. Rapunzel is seen as Summer, because of her powers from the sun, her summer birthday, and because her kingdom’s symbol is the sun (In some cases, fans prefer to have Anna and Rapunzel’s seasons switched). Finally, Merida is autumn, because of her changing fate motif, and because her wild red hair resembles autumn leaves. While sometime after Moana became part of the fandom and the crossover (which is why it is sometimes known as the CGI Princesses), she is placed between Summer and Spring. Each time Disney creates a new CGI Disney Princess, that has been crossed with the Big Four or any of its other sup-fandoms, people tend to add them to the group.

However, despite the seasonal motifs, this crossover is not always about seasons. Many fans think that these girls should be together anyway because of their shared identity—they are the only four/eight characters in the Disney Princess lineup to be animated in the CGI format. Before CGI films became very common as the new animation and the newly added Disney Princesses are now CGI, like the four main princesses that created this group.

While this crossover is commonly merged with the Big Four, many fans prefer to keep it separate.

In the Wreck-It Ralph sequel, Ralph Breaks the Internet, the cameos of Rapunzel, Merida, Elsa, Anna and Moana are online avatar/netizen versions of themselves, with the other netizen Disney Princesses that Vanellope von Schweetz meets and befriends. Fans sometimes have the five wearing the modern, comfy style clothing that the netizen version of them wear in the film. Along with giving Raya and Elena their own modern, RBTI style clothes.

Featured Characters[]

Rapunzel Corona[]

Rapunzel is generally considered the most classic character of the group, since Tangled was the first film to come out and kickstart the modern Disney princess era. In the "Four Seasons" context, she may be given the role of summer or spring (Her role is often debated with that of Anna's, or sometimes with Merida's). Both of these are a reference to her magic power, as it is both connected to the Sun and to a flower, which are associated with Spring and Summer respectively. Her birthday, featured in the film, is unknown in date, but some fans have argued that her line "feel that summer breeze" confirms it to be in the summer.

Within the group dynamic, Rapunzel is often paired with Anna as the ray of sunshine, bubbly member of the group. Although, often times she is portrayed as less reckless and more insecure than Anna, so she may be the one to be a voice of reason while still being positive and encouraging.

Merida DunBroch[]

Merida is the only member that is a Pixar character, as well as being the first known Pixar Princess. She is also the member that recusants the season of autumn, the most. Fans also have her resenting the warm season of summer, mostly for Seasons Guardians AU since the role of autumn is commonly given to Hiccup while Merida's season role in the AU is summer.

Merida is the hothead of the group, so often times she (along with Anna) are portrayed as the ones getting everyone else into trouble. She's often paired with Elsa, since the two's opposing personalities mesh together. Also, at the time this crossover was first created, Merida and Elsa were the only Disney Princesses not to have a love interest. Because of this, fans either shipped them together, or just had them celebrate their singleness as friends.

Princess Anna[]

Anna's role in the "four seasons" dynamic is debated by fans to be either spring or summer. Some fans argue summer because of her opposing personality to Elsa (who is unquestionably winter), and because the first film's story actually happens during summer. Other fans argue that she should represent spring since she is the "bridge" between Elsa's winter and the summer of the story. Within the group dynamic, Anna is high spirited and willing to befriend everyone, much like Rapunzel. The two are often paired together as besties (or, according to some theories, cousins). Anna is very protective of people she is close to, so she (and Rapunzel) may often be seen as the glue holding the group together. With the release of Frozen 2, Anna is now the second queen in the group (after her sister), and thus may be given a more responsible role than the others.

In the official spinoff Disney game, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Anna and Elsa are placed in a friend group with Moana and Mirabel, which is shown during one of Mirabel's friendship quests.

Queen Elsa[]

Elsa is the only Queen (until Frozen 2, that is) in the group and her ice powers is the reason why she stands for winter. As well as being the only member to recusant that season. She is the oldest of the characters in this crossover, and therefore her role in the group dynamic might show her as a big-sisterly sort of character toward the others. If this AU has a magical setting where all the characters have powers, she may also act as a mentor or leader in this case. In the official spinoff Disney game, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Anna and Elsa are placed in a friend group with Moana and Mirabel, which is shown during one of Mirabel's friendship quests.

Moana Waialiki[]

Moana is the first "new" character to be added to the crossover after its beginning, since she became an official Disney Princess and popular character. She is also the first woman of color to be added to the group. With her inclusion, the "four seasons" aspect of the crossover seemed to disappear since there are now more than four characters. But if it still exists, Moana may be associated with summer because of her association with the ocean and the tropical climate she lives in. Moana is generally seen as an athletic, stubborn character and is thus commonly seen paired with similar characters like Merida and Raya. In the spinoff game Disney Dreamlight Valley, one of the friendship quests for Mirabel also puts Moana in a friend group with her, Elsa and Anna.

Raya[]

Princess Elena[]

Unlike like the other CGI Princesses within the group, Elena is from a cartoon than a film; even though a TV film of Sofia the First was used to intrude Elena and serve as the starting point of her own story. Her coming from TV series, however, could be why Elena is only occasionally seen in the crossover.

Mirabel Madrigal[]

While Mirabel isn't a royal like the others or has officially been confirmed to a Disney Princess in-canon, she has been added to many Disney Princess fan works and many of them commonly have Mirabel with the CGI Disney Princesses that are in the group. Mirabel also possesses some Disney Princess-like traits, like her kind heart, does want she can to help those in need, gets along with children and animals, has a connection to magic and has served as the main protagonist of her Disney film.

Within the group dynamic, Mirabel is often seen with characters like Anna and Moana, because she has similar traits to them; all three are determined, optimistic, and family-oriented characters whose main motivation is to keep their home and family intact. In the case of Anna, she and Mirabel also have the commonality of having a magically-powered older sister(s), while they themselves do not have powers.

Additionally, in the official Disney game Disney Dreamlight Valley, one of Mirabel's friendship quests places her in a long-running friend group with Elsa, Anna, and Moana. While this game is non-canonical, it could hint that the Disney company themselves considers Mirabel to be connected to this group of popular modern Disney princesses.
