I don't think that being inspired by Disney is a bad thing per se but I admit some people take it too far. There are few Disney references in the books from Shannon Hale themselves, so I'm far from hating a Disney lover but the characters shouldn't be too obvious, IMO. On the other hand the characters of the franchise mention that every generation's story is a wee bit different (for example Apple having blonde not black hair etc.) so my headcanon is that these intergenerational changes are caused by real world adaptations of old fairy tales. Therefore I think that a little quirk coming from disnefied version is tolerable and can make for a more interesting character. (But don't forget that OCs are mainly for fun, no matter the amount Elsa's daughters are going to change Mattels plans for the canon. It only rises your own bloodpressure. :P )
