The Disney princesses are about to get their first Hispanic member: "Elena of Avalor,", who will be the main character in an animated series on the Disney Junior channel next year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Elena will be "influenced by culture and traditions that are familiar to the worldwide population of Hispanic and Latino families and reflect the interests and aspirations of all children as told through a classic fairy tale," according to Disney Junior general manager Nancy Kanter.

Apparently, she'll first appear as part of Disney Junior's hit show "Sofia the First" then spin off into a show that centers around her, her grandfather Tito, grandmother Cici, adviser Duke Esteban, and wizard-in-training (you know, 'cause why not?) Mateo.

Sure, there have been a few main characters in the past like Princess Jasmine and Mulan, but they've been slow to diversify overall. So it's nice to see a little another cultural background creeping in here. What ethnicity do you hope Disney goes for next?

Oh, and have you seen the princesses with real-girl hair? It's a good way to waste a few minutes.
