* Historically: Pocahontas was a real Native American woman who played a role in early interactions between English colonists and the Powhatan tribe in the early 1600s.
* Disney Fictionalization: The Disney movie "Pocahontas" is a highly fictionalized and romanticized version of her life. The film takes significant liberties with historical accuracy to create a story of love, adventure, and conflict.
So, while Pocahontas is a real historical figure, the "Pocahontas" we see in the Disney movie is a fictionalized character. This makes her a Disney princess in the sense that she's a beloved character in a Disney film, but not in the same way as princesses like Cinderella or Ariel who are entirely fictional creations.
It's always important to separate the real historical figure from the Disney portrayal when talking about Pocahontas.
