Always have been!

She teaches you not to judge people from what they look like on the outside you need to take time to get to know them and see who they really are you might be surprised at what you may find all good things come to those who wait

Out of the ones remaining, she is definitely the best role model

Ya, agree with Jayden-G! She defies society, because she isn't head over heels with Gaston

Eve after years of emotional abuse Rapunzel still is shown to be incredibly smart. Remember in the movie where she charts stars . she clearly knows her responsibilities and still has many skills. she knows not to leave the tower until she meets someone to help her so she doesn't get lost. she also shows gender equality by saving Flynn as many times as he saved her. she may be Nieve but after years of abuse she still holds strong and knows right from wrong and is clearly an intelligent young woman.

Definitely, she is so good natured.

I agree with justgrac...but Belle would be okay, too. I just think that Rapunzel is the stronger one between those two, and stronger means to me better role model.

Or Rapunzel, both are pretty equal in my eyes.

She's smart, she doesn't judge based on looks, she cases about her family and friends, and she's really kind and gentle. Only good role model qualities.

definitely, i don't even need to explain

I strongly agree with justgrac...Even with her mother putting her down and making her feel worthless she still rose above that and was strong,brave, and very intelligent...

I agree with BelleAnastasia.

She sacrifices her freedom for her father, but when she is mistreated by the beast, she escapes, no matter what she promised before. And she returns when he saves her life. She gives second chances, she's not superficial, she loves reading! An excelent role model.

A lot of girls worry about looks and Belle's message is that beauty is on the inside not the outside.

Or Belle. But the thing is that Belle always makes the decision when the opportunity is in front of her, Rapunzel finds the opportunities that await. If it wasn't for the beast imprisoning Belle, she'd leave all that sexism the way it was and would do nothing about it.

She teaches girls no to be embarrassed by their intelligence, that looks don't define, and that it is okay to be different. She really is a very good role model.

Or Belle
