You could make the argument that Judy Hopps doesn't fit that exact position, but how does Mulan not? Her personality is different from Merida (thankfully), as is her reaction to the situation. But her situation as a forced bride is very similar if not identical.
I liked the idea that Merida rebels against her parents, she should do that. That is not my problem with her character whatsoever. My problem is when her mother appears to be poisoned, she ignores her pain and uses the opportunity to take advantage (continuing to be fairly non-empathetic afterwards too). This is not a likable trait.
But beyond her attitude (which could have been salvageable or even actually interesting as a character arc in a better written and paced story), I found Merida to be a boring character involved in a boring story. I hoped that we'd get a Mulan type badass hero (or like Eowyn from LOTR), but with the rebelliousness of Jasmine. It seemed to be setting her up as that in the beginning. Instead I saw an unlikable boastful brat who doesn't do much of anything besides restore her mom at the very end (caused by Merida in the first place).
