      I don’t know the canonical age of Mulan but she was in marriage talks before enlisting and she is actually married in the sequel if I’m not mistaken.

        She is 16 which seems to be the statistical mode of Disney Princesses… Most are 16, a few are 18 I think one is 19 and Elsa is the only one of drinking age.

          I don’t think Mulan was 16 throughout the entire series, and if we’re going by age of first appearance then I’ve got some bad news for you about Elsa.

            I wouldn’t use first appearance in the movie as the character age, that’s silly. Most of them would be an infant or toddler in that case.

            Tangled starts as a baby, Moana starts as a grow up montage, most of the movies have some flashback to early childhood at the very beginning.

      Pocahontas is 100% a minor. She married John Smith at 12 in real life. Based on the ages of the other princesses of movies at the time she is probably canonically 16

      I think that’s really up to interpretation. Her age seems to fluctuate in historical texts from her time.

      She easily could have been younger than 18.

      People didn’t really have any age of consent laws or any of that and her birth year can only be roughly estimated. So I’d say pick another princess lol
