Merida shoots an arrow at the knight, but the shaft punctures a piece of the man's cloak instead. Realizing her father had Mulan keep her away from direct combat, she hurries to join the battle, getting there in time to see a knight, whose face is obscured by a helmet, approaching to attack Fergus. During another sparring session, Merida hears a horn blow signaling the southerners' attack. Although Fergus secretly procured a magic helm to guarantee a victory in battle, he decides to take his own advice by leading his men by sheer strength of character, and throws the helm into the river, having no more use for it. Fergus states she must show proof that she is willing to die for the same cause they are fighting for. As her father contemplates the upcoming skirmish, Merida asks about how he has managed to instill respect into his men so they will fight for him, as she will have to do the same one day if she inherits the crown.

This new acquaintance teaches Merida how to duel properly and disarm her opponent, but also instructs her on being a warrior. The mystery warrior quickly knocks her flat on the ground, much to the redhead's shock, but then, the soldier takes off the helmet, revealing she is a woman as well and introduces herself as Mulan. Fergus gifts her a bow and mentions getting her a tutor to teach her how to fight, but because Merida is eager to prove she is capable, she rushes into a sword duel with a nearby soldier.
Lord Macintosh doesn't take her seriously because she is a woman, but Merida ignores his jibs and focuses on learning about the nature of war from her father. “She makes her own trouble, and then she gets herself out of that trouble, and I think that’s a very good message.After saving her mother and three younger brothers from a curse, Merida joins her father King Fergus at a battle camp, where members of clans DunBroch, Macintosh, MacGuffin, and Dingwall are preparing to fight against southern enemies who are planning to invade their territory. She makes her own mistakes and then she doesn’t need a prince charming to come and makes things better,” she says. Macdonald tells THR she liked Merida’s “energy and her feistiness.” Pixar’s 13th film is the first to feature a female heroine. “So I would be standing silently in front of the mic, just trying to get my head around what that might be like. “At the end of the session, there would just be a page of noises I would have to go through one by one,” says Macdonald.

Merida is then forced to use her bravery and skills as an archer to right a terrible wrong. The story follows Merida as she makes a wish to change her fate, that ends up having terrible consequences. While Merida may not sing, Macdonald, who plays Margaret Schroeder on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, had plenty of other challenges to overcome while voicing her character. “She’s out on a horse, she’s a bit of a tomboy, but she sings songs,” says the Scottish actress. Macdonald points out that Calamity Jane and Merida, the Scottish princess who bucks tradition in Pixar’s film, are more similar than not.
