I think you're kind of missing the parts where Merida does stuff that princesses don't do. I don't mean "oh, she rides horses and is an archer and stuff," I mean like, she talks to the servants, she grooms her horse, and this anon just got the impression she would probably take care of everything herself if it came to that -- and that's what she did when she and Elinor were forced to go out into the woods. She fended for herself.

I agree that she took her privileges for granted, but that's largely because she never wanted them, I think, or never cared much for them. I think it would have been just as likely, if she hadn't found the witch's house, that she would have run away and been just a normal (mostly) girl somewhere far far away.

She doesn't talk to the servants. She says "hi", but her mom addresses Maudie by name, so I assume this is normal for them.

As far as grooming her horse, that kind of goes in line with the archery thing. I'm sure Merida is perfectly happy to let someone else clean her chamberpot, but she takes care of her horse because she loves him.

And she did want some of her privileges--who else would get the clothes she gets, the weapons, the horse, the food, the shelter?

And had she run away, she would also be a pretty bad person for, again, taking advantage of the privilege granted by the people and not making up for any of that. She would have started a war and gotten a lot of people killed.
