She defeats each of her suitors in an archery contest, shaming the other clans and leading to an argument with Elinor. Merida twists the rules, announcing that she is eligible to compete for her own hand as the first-born of Clan DunBroch.
The allied clan chieftains arrive with their first-born sons to compete in the Highland Games for Merida's hand in marriage. Reminding Merida of a legend of a prince whose pride and refusal to follow his father's wishes destroyed his kingdom, Elinor warns her that failure to consent to the betrothal could harm DunBroch. Later as a free-spirited and headstrong young woman, Merida discovers that she is to be betrothed to the son of one her father's allies, much to her dismay. Merida flees on horseback with Elinor, while Fergus fights off Mor'du at the cost of his left leg.
Soon afterwards, Mor'du, a huge demon-bear, attacks the family. While venturing into the woods to fetch a stray arrow, Merida encounters a will-o'-the-wisp. In Scotland, a child princess named Merida of the clan DunBroch is given a bow and arrows by her father, King Fergus, for her birthday.
