Pocahontas does so, and after hearing the wind, is able to spot the ship carrying the Europeans, though she mistakes the ship's sails for clouds.
When Pocahontas asks how to find her path, Grandmother Willow teaches Pocahontas to listen to the spirits of the earth. After telling Grandmother Willow about her dream and her father's plans for her arranged marriage, Grandmother Willow tells Pocahontas that her dream is pointing her down her path. Pocahontas doesn't feel that this is the right path for her, but Powhatan feels that Kocoum would be a fine husband for Pocahontas, as Kocoum is steady and serious, as well as brave, loyal, strong and protective.Īfter hearing this, Pocahontas travels to Grandmother Willow in order to gain some advice. As a gift, Powhatan gives Pocahontas her late mother's necklace, which her mother had worn at their wedding. At the village, Pocahontas meets with her father and learns that Kocoum, one of her father's finest and fiercest warriors, has asked to marry her. Nakoma counsels Pocahontas to speak with her father, Chief Powhatan, who has recently returned from war.
It is revealed that Pocahontas has been having a series of unusual dreams, and she does not understand what they mean. Pocahontas is first seen atop a waterfall when she is summoned by her best friend Nakoma that her beloved father has returned. She is the 18-year-old daughter of Chief Powhatan. Pocahontas is a member of the Powhatan Indian tribe that makes their home in Virginia. But in the end, she bravely intends to sacrifice herself for her people's safety and returns to her homeland, finding herself, and romantic love, once again. During her stay in England, she nearly loses herself in the hustle and bustle of this new world and is turned into someone she's not. She keeps her independent spirit and playfulness but is much more mature and self-assured than she was in the first film. In the sequel, Pocahontas seems to have grown after hearing of John Smith's assumed death. In the film, she appears to have shamanic powers since she was able to commune with nature, talk to spirits, empathize with animals, and understand unknown languages. She expresses wisdom beyond her years and offers kindness and guidance to those around her. Pocahontas is displayed as a noble, free-spirited, and highly spiritual young woman. The animation of Pocahontas is different from other Disney Princesses. She has a tall, slender, statuesque figure with broad shoulders and narrow hips and goes around barefoot in the first film, whereas in the 2nd film, she wears flat shoes. Pocahontas is a young woman with copper skin, long raven-black hair, and twinkling, dark brown eyes.
