Thanks to everyone who participated in Princess of the Month! I'm sorry that this month was kind of crazy for me and I did not post as consistently has I had originally wanted. I hope it was enjoyable for you all nonetheless! Stay tuned for the announcement for who won POTM for November. :)

I wanted to do a celebratory culminating article with comments from fans on why we love Moana. Many thanks to all who submitted comments!

"One of the main things I love about Moana is that not only does she have a desire to leave home for adventure, but she also loves her home and values what she has there. Part of her reason for wanting to leave home in the first place is so that she can save it. It's wonderful to have a princess who values both the great wide world and the comfy place you can always return to." ~MaidofOrleans



"My favorite part is that she actually went out and did the adventure and even without the prince or powerhouse the whole time, with no proper training at all initially. It takes a lot of courage, also the ocean communication is quite OP." ~Scroogefan1867



"I like that she tried to be optimistic even when things were looking bad and I like that her story didn’t involve her choosing either being a leader and doing something she really wanted to do, and letting her do both" ~BB2010



"I love Moana's determination. I also like her willingness to obey her parents and serve her people. She also knew when to follow her own path despite what others felt was best for her. She did what she felt was right and good for her village and I admire that about her." ~sunnyfields



"Honestly...the child version of her. When she is leaning forward being all "coooool" when everyone else is afraid. Makes me smile every single time." ~Swanpride



Thanks again to all who submitted comments for this! <3
