After watching Disney's Hercules for the 55th time, I am very sure I want to give the award to her instead of Belle or Snow White or whoever you had in mind.
Here is why she is the best:
Ok, when you first see her she seems sassy, but when you learn her past, (Selling her soul to Hades, the God of the Underworld to save her boyfriend's life, and her boyfriend choosing another girl over her.) we start to accept her . Then when she sings I Won't Say (I'm In Love) you understand that she yearns for Hercules, or as she calls him, Wonderboy but is afraid because of her recent experiences. When Hades reveals that she was working for him, thus breaking Hercules' heart and making Megara cry, we're pretty impressed. But then she pushes Hercules out of harm's way, thus making a pillar fall on her. When asked why she did it, she tells Hercules "People always do crazy things....When they're in love.". She later dies and Hercules is so touched that he goes to the Underworld to rescue her soul, and ends up victorious, choosing Megara over immortal life.
So sure your Aurora is a Sleeping Beauty, but Megara, or Meg, as I should call her, is a Selfless Beauty.
So Thanks for being you, Meg.
