You might wonder who Tiana is since she's one of the quite recent princess in Disney. Well, Princess Tiana is taken from the movie, The Princess and The Frog.
Tiana is a motivated, determined and a hard working young woman who finds pride in doing things her own way, without help from anyone.
“Tiana, voiced by Anika Noni Rose, is the ninth Disney
Princess character to be incorporated into the franchise, appearing in Disney's
49th animated feature film The Princess and the Frog (2009). Her film is
loosely based on the novel The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker, which is in turn
based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale The Frog Prince. Tiana is notably the
first African-American Disney Princess, portrayed as being a hardworking,
ambitious, and beautiful young woman who has no love interest (at the start of
the film). Living in New Orleans, Louisiana, during the 1920s, Tiana strives to
achieve her goal of opening her own restaurant. However, she is transformed
into a frog after trying to break a spell cast by a Bokor on Prince Naveen that
had changed him into a frog also. Throughout the film, the pair must embark on
a quest to find a way to break the spell.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Princess
“Facilier is a scheming bokor with "friends on the
other side". Much like Ursula and Hades, Facilier tricks his victims into
making deals with him. He can read their past and present with his tarot cards;
he then looks into their futures as well, and offers to "change it 'round
some." However, the deals he makes usually backfire on the victim, though
Facilier is not exactly dishonest as he does give them exactly what he
promised, even though it isn't what his victims had in mind. For example, he
tells Naveen that if he wants a future with the freedom to "hop from place
to place," he would need "green" (heavily implying green to mean
money.) However, upon making the deal, Facilier transforms Naveen into a frog,
giving him both "green" and a way to "hop from place to
place" in a more literal sense.” http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Facilier
