Sorry she shouldn't be in top five. She would get under pressure really easily and also may start day dreaming and not remembering what would be going on.

I agree with princecatcher93. Good things about her being a ruler: she is gentle, understanding, and she gives up her dream for duty. She is very respectful and commits to duty and doesn't do what she isn't supposed to. However, she is just too dreamy and not so into things but rather always dreaming. She is also too light and will not handle being under stress.

Tiana isn't really good in reading people, plus, she can be very set in her views.

Aurora would be the best. She put her duties above her desire and appeared to adapt very well to royal life at the end (from the little we got to see.) She is patient and calm. She is graceful and elegant- which would help her in court for her people. She is kind and never wants to see suffering. Her royal duties are very important to her, even without prior experience. She only really daydreamed when she was off by herself.
The other three are the top three. Tiana couldn't see through the fact that "Naveen" was marrying Charlotte even though she wasn't human and she knew she would turn human when he did. She doesn't have much insight.

I can finally vote for someone else.

Out of these four, Tiana would definitely be the worst. She is not the best with people, and she would only see things from one perspective. She would be too stubborn.

Hmm, I was gonna vote for Poca but Rhythmic's convinced me to pick Tiana. I do think by the end of the movie she'd be a far better ruler though. But yeah, she's rather intolerant about trying different things.

I really can't believe Aurora got so many votes, and not because I like her. Because she is dreamy, that means she won't be the best ruler? All of them are dreamy. -_- Dreaminess is a staple for Disney Princesses.

and I just don't get what princecatcher means. I watched the movie a few nights ago and didn't see any indication where Aurora has Ariel's attention span or anything.

She might be too stubborn.

I think she'd be a good ruler, but her constant desire to escape from reality might get in the way.

She wouldn´t be able to understand why people think like they do. She would try to get everyone to see things the way she saw them.

Not only she should be lower, she should be lowest, or close to it.
