Comments Off on Merida And The Archery Competition
Meet Merida, a brave and adventurous princess from the land of Scotland. Merida is not your typical princess. She’s not interested in wearing fancy dresses or marrying a prince, instead, she has a passion for archery and loves to explore the great outdoors with her trusty horse, Angus.
Merida lives in a castle with her family, including her mother, Queen Elinor, and her father, King Fergus. They rule over the kingdom of DunBroch, a wild and rugged land filled with towering mountains, deep forests, and rushing rivers.
As a princess, Merida is expected to follow certain rules and traditions, but she’s not content with just sitting around and being told what to do. She wants to make her own choices and determine her own destiny.
One day, Merida’s defiance puts her family in danger and sets off a chain of events that will change her life forever. With her archery skills and determination, Merida must find a way to undo the damage she has caused and restore peace to her kingdom.
