From Magic to Mastery: Disney’s Legendary Characters That Left Us Enchanted For Ages

Megara: The Cynical Heroine of Hercules

Megara, better known as Meg, may not be part of the Disney princess pack, but she is one of the best female characters in Disney history. Voiced by Susan Egan, who drew inspiration from actresses like Barbara Stanwyck, Meg exudes snark and cynicism. Having endured a troubled past, she is wary of love and men in general.

Despite her cynicism, Meg’s encounter with the innocent and kind-hearted Hercules changes her outlook on life. As their relationship develops, her vulnerabilities and strength come to life, making her a truly remarkable and complex character beyond being a mere romantic interest.
