Merida hated fancy clothes and the noble way. If that lifestyle were a person, she would've already killed them without hesitation. Strict, cumbersome, expensive, and mostly theatrical without any substance or actual usefulness. In a world mostly dominated by power due to the constant threat of monsters, nobles are finding themselves trying to hold society together with something that goes against the nature of existence itself.
In this world where a moment of hesitation or a second of wasted time could lead to an entire city being overrun by monsters, the nobles only proved to be a hindrance. If a city is facing a powerful monster, the strongest person should be taking the lead because they have the best chance against that monster, they are the ones with experience and who understand the risks.
