5. Cinderella

Cinderella has all the qualities necessary to survive an apocalypse. Cinderella can cook, clean, sew and communicate with animals. Skills like these are necessities in an apocalypse, which would make her a valuable addition to any group. You get a scratch that could make you an easy target for the undead? She can clean the wound. The camp gets hungry or runs out of ingredients? She can call on her mice and bird friends, who will leave the camp and bring back food. Not to mention her fairy godmother. With one wish she can bibbidi-bobbidi-boo shelter or wish a zombie into a vegetable.

4. Rapunzel

Rapunzel is used to being by herself, so the quarantine of a survivor camp would be no challenge for her. Locked away in a tower for years, she learned how to cook, clean and sew, on top of a multitude of other hobbies that would be beneficial in an apocalypse. She’s also wary of strangers, a good quality in a world where danger lurks around every corner. If she ever came face-to-face with a zombie, Rapunzel isn’t afraid to use her frying pan. A couple of whacks to the zombie’s face would give her time to get back to safety — if she doesn’t get tangled up in her hair first.

3. Merida

Merida is skilled in archery, an advantage in the apocalypse as she has a way to defend herself from undead enemies. Even without shelter, Merida is equipped for success as long as she has her bow and arrow. She can use it to ward off predators, defeat zombies and hunt. Merida is independent, stubborn and courageous. Merida is also brave enough to stand up to cursed bears, including one that was a bloodthirsty prince who planned to kill her. Her knees wouldn’t buckle under the pressure of the apocalypse. She’s a headstrong princess who knows no fear, and not even the end of the world or an outbreak of zombies can stop her. 

2. Mulan

If Mulan can single-handedly take down the Huns, she can easily fight a few zombies. Mulan trained for war and became a top soldier in the Chinese army, with some of her skills including martial arts, swordsmanship and archery. She has the combat skills and intelligence to make her a champion in the fight against the undead. She’s tough, brave and selfless. Mulan would use her skills for protecting and honoring all the survivors she could. If there was one person who could prevent everyone from getting infected and zombies taking over the earth, my bet would be on Mulan. She is a war hero, after all.

1. Ariel

Ariel may seem weak, but she has advantages none of the others have. Ariel is a mermaid and lives underwater. As far as I’m aware, there are no zombies in the ocean. I don’t think they can swim, either. Ariel would never have to experience a zombie apocalypse and her survival would not be questioned if there were one, as it seems like apocalypses are a ‘land only’ thing. Even if zombies make it underwater, Ariel has an entire sea of backup. This includes her father, his magical pitchfork and a variety of sharks, killer whales and other fierce sea creatures that could defeat any enemy — or anemone.
