So, I decided to become active in this club, and breathe some life back into it, and what better way than with an article? So, here is my favorite heroine list! I'm going to be dividing the list into three sections, like, like a lot, love and adore. So with the introduction out of the way, let's see where the heroines rank on my list, shall we?
3 Young Heroines I Like:
12. Penny Forrester
A lot of the young heroines aren't main characters of their movies. But Penny has always felt like more of a plot device than a character. I don't get the enjoyment watching Penny as I do watching the other heroines. We see very little of her, and most of what we see of her is just her when she's acting, so I can't really connect with her character.
11. Princess Eilonwy
I'm going to start off by saying I really, really dislike 'The Black Cauldron'. It's truly as bad as its reputation. As for the young heroine herself, she's just okay. Except for her occasional sassy moments, which I love, she is just kind of bland. To be honest, for some reason she's always been utterly ridiculous to me.
10. Elsa Van Helsing
She is very much a side character in her movie, but I have her this high because I love all the scenes with her I did see. I'm not exactly a dog person, but her dedication to her pet was sweet, and I like her quieter personality that you don't usually see in child characters.
Young Heroines I Like A Lot:
9. Shanti
She has much more screen-time in the sequel, and I haven't seen the sequel in years. So I'm going off my vague memories of the sequel and her few minutes in the original. I really like Shanti. She's responsible but not so much as to be annoying, and she is brave. But, I like the others above her more.
8. Jenny
She's also not a main character, but I think she's adorable. I love the scenes of her bonding with Oliver, her creativity with her 'cooking', and her bravery and selflessness. She's just great.
7. Penny
She also isn't much of a main character, but I really like Penny. In an ironic contrast to the more recent Penny, I really like the personality we see of her. For one thing, she's absolutely adorable. I also love her bravery and how insecure she seems.
Young Heroines I Love:
6. Princess Melody
She is my sister's second favorite Disney character ever, and maybe that rubbed off on me a little because I find myself quite fond of her. I definitely like her more than I do Ariel. I like how she's pretty tomboyish and stubborn, but still kind of shy and awkward around people her age. Her making a deal with Morgana is actually more understandable than her mother's with Ursula because of her youth and because she didn't know that Morgana was evil.
5. Wendy Darling
Making it into the top five is Wendy, who I find to be an absolute joy to watch. I love her love of storytelling, her motherly yet still childish nature, and her elegance and poise. She's also quite brave, and has quite a few moments of sassiness which I love.
4. Jane
I wish I could fit her into the top three, I really love her, but she gets fourth place. I love her cynicism and no-nonsense attitude, and the fact that she is also fun-loving and fearless in addition to that. I like how she's a Lost Girl, and basically I think she's just all-around great.
Young Heroines I Adore:
3. Vanellope von Schweetz
Ugh, I just adore her! I love her sassiness and spunk, her twisted sense of humor and her quickly forgiving nature. I sympathize with her torment at the hands of the other racers, and I love her determination for her dream of winning races.
2. Lilo Pelekai
The youngest young heroine is nearly my favorite! I love Lilo's eccentricity, her weird hobbies and sense of humor, her love of Elvis Presley, and her kindness to animals and aliens alike. And, similarly to Vanellope, I'm sympathetic to her being ostracized by her peers. So yeah, I love Lilo. She's very close to being my favorite.
1. Alice
The girl on this club's icon is my favorite young heroine! I love her curiosity, her inquisitiveness, her snarkiness, how she's polite and demure but also kind of contrary. She seems to be honest to a fault, and I like her love of tea and daydreaming and her tendency to get lost in a world of her own.
So, there was my list! I hope you guys enjoyed, and, obviously this was all just my opinion.

Wait... what do you mean I'm twelfth place?

But... I'm Princess Eilonwy!

Eh, whatever...

My own home... in ninth place!
8. Jenny
She's also not a main character, but I think she's adorable. I love the scenes of her bonding with Oliver, her creativity with her 'cooking', and her bravery and selflessness. She's just great.
I guess all this cat-bonding finally paid off!
7. Penny
She also isn't much of a main character, but I really like Penny. In an ironic contrast to the more recent Penny, I really like the personality we see of her. For one thing, she's absolutely adorable. I also love her bravery and how insecure she seems.
Hear that, Teddy? Seventh place!

Sixth place? This is almost as good as having fins!
5. Wendy Darling
Making it into the top five is Wendy, who I find to be an absolute joy to watch. I love her love of storytelling, her motherly yet still childish nature, and her elegance and poise. She's also quite brave, and has quite a few moments of sassiness which I love.
Oh, isn't it just darling?

Hooray! Fourth place isn't bad for a Lost Girl!
Young Heroines I Adore:
3. Vanellope von Schweetz
Ugh, I just adore her! I love her sassiness and spunk, her twisted sense of humor and her quickly forgiving nature. I sympathize with her torment at the hands of the other racers, and I love her determination for her dream of winning races.
Third place? Are you a hobo? I'm the PRESIDENT!
2. Lilo Pelekai
The youngest young heroine is nearly my favorite! I love Lilo's eccentricity, her weird hobbies and sense of humor, her love of Elvis Presley, and her kindness to animals and aliens alike. And, similarly to Vanellope, I'm sympathetic to her being ostracized by her peers. So yeah, I love Lilo. She's very close to being my favorite.
If you want me to be second place, Scrap and Stitch have to be second place too!

First place, you say? I don't care, I'm busy with my daydreams...
So, there was my list! I hope you guys enjoyed, and, obviously this was all just my opinion.
