Probably Ariel, no matter when in the story I start. If I start as a mermaid? No sea witch, deal, legs, or prince for me! :D If I start after she's traded her voice and I have to woo a prince I don't love to keep legs I don't want to avoid being made into a polyp for a deal I didn't make? I'd take Sebastian on his offer and try to cancel the deal. If that's not an option? I know how the movie ends. I guess I'll just move forward, run out the clock, get repossessed by Ursula, then cause her demise so I can go back to being a mermaid without dooming the whole ocean.

No mooning over Eric lying on the sand for me. I'd go home with all the normal fish.

Ariel was never trapped or lied to. End of story.

Meh ...sightly better

Ariel lived the high life, Rapunzel was abused like there was no tomorrow by Gothel emotionally

Run away from Gothel.

Rapunzel is lonely, trapped in her life being ruled by Gothel. Ariel has better life.
