Movie
Brave
In the past, little Merida is seen playing and hiding from her mother. Her father brings her a bow, which she
immediately tries. However, she misses the target and the arrow went into the forest. When she retrieved the arrow, she saw a mythical creature called a wisp. She is told the legend that says a wisp will lead a person to his or her fate.
Little Merida then follows the wisps, but was called by her mother. She told her mother about the wisps and her mother carried her to the tent. But, when her mother was walking while carrying her, Merida saw a bear; Mor'du. While her father attacked Mor'du, she was taken away by her mother on a horse.
Years later, Merida appears as a teenager. She describes that being a princess was tiring because she is a role model, she has expectations and duties while. She is also thought by her mother about speeches, knowledge, art and attitudes of a princess almost everyday, which she dislikes.
However, there is a day where she can be free, no lessons and such. On one day like that, she rides her horse while practicing shooting with her bow and arrow. On that day also, she climbs a high rock near a waterfall and drinks its water.
