Tiana, the protagonist of Disney's upcoming 2009 film The Princess and the Frog, is the first African-American princess in the Disney Princess franchise. A young waitress and talented chef who dreams of owning her own restaurant like her father, Tiana is a "diamond in the rough" who will have to learn some lessons before she reaches true princess status. She is a motivated, determined, and independent young woman that wants to do things her way, without help from anyone. Anika Noni Rose, the voice of Tiana says: "She’s a strong woman who doesn’t need anyone to do things for her...She wants to do things for herself." She ultimately learns that balance is important in life; to be happy, she needs both love and a career. [Source: Wikipedia]
