Hmm, are these meant to be badfic writers or alter-egos of ourselves?
Well, if it's meant to be potential students, then here:
Name: Helen Ortega
Snippet: Helen is one of the fans who is very much interested with crossovers and melding all of the recent Disney (and some not-Disney) movies into one canon. The Hiccup-Merida-Jack Frost-Elsa-Rapunzel all at Hogwarts, kind of thing. She's well meaning, but has a tendency to sucker onto an idea, write a bit of it, and then drop it for a new variation. As such, she rarely sticks with a project long enough to learn from it.
Appearance: Short, somewhat curly red-brown hair, grey eyes, and fair skin. She's also rather a beanpole in terms of body type.
LO: Esmerelda (not technically a Princess, but still!)
Favorite Prince: Hans - he's not a hero, but at least he has a character and is kind of a fun villain
Favorite Princess: Merida or Elsa
Favorite Villain: Maleficent, especially after the new adaptation.
(As for me, I am having some trouble thinking of an LO in the Disney canon, my favorite princess might be Mulan, I can't really think of a prince because they are rather dull, and Ursula is just so very fun as a villain.)

Sara Damin. She's bookish, sarcastic, loves pointing out all the mistakes and potholes in movies and books, daydreamy, and can switch from quiet to angry in a snap. Favorite Prince is Li Shaang, favorite Princess is Meg, and favorite Villain is Scar. (Because he actually achieved his goal of becoming king! If he hadn't slipped with telling the truth about his crime, he would have won all the way!)
Let me think about the favorite characters for a bit...

Favorite Prince: Eh. Um. Hm. I'll come back to this.
Favorite Princess: Probably Belle, just because she's a book nerd, like me.
Favorite Prince: Ummmmmmmmm. Well.
Favorite Villain: Hands down, Maleficent. She is just so amazing and powerful and scary in every way, and I love Eleanor Audley's delivery of every line in the original movie. (Haven't seen the movie Maleficent.)
Favorite Prince: HURRRRRRRR Most of them do so little, it's hard to even think of a good one. I didn't want to repeat a movie I already said, but the Beast is probably the prince with the most character. And even when he is still in beast mode, he still has some redeeming qualities.

Not really a self-insert... by

But a potential fanbrat character that you can use if you want to.
Name: Nicole "Nick" Wong
Age: 14
Favorite Princess: Mulan
Favorite Prince: Aladdin
Favorite Villain: Ursula
Lust Object: Aladdin
Appearance: A petite, boyish-looking Asian girl, with very short black hair, brown eyes, and sharp features.
Personality: Nick writes Disney stories not because she likes Disney movies, but because she hates them... or so she claims. The truth is that she's still a huge fan, but she feels like she's supposed to be too old for them. She complains that the stories as-are are "boring" and "dumb," and the female characters "suck" because they don't do any fighting. She also has an unfortunate tendency to act superior and ignore anyone who corrects her. Nick's stories are technically fine and feature decent action scenes, but generally take the form of thinly-veiled diatribes about how the movies would be so much better if they went exactly the way she wanted them to.
Also, if you're just doing Disney Princesses, you might want to indicate that somewhere in the title of your OFU?

Fanbrat!TheShyIon:
Name: Ion
Age: 15
Appearance: Beanpole, pale, with dirty blonde hair (constantly tangling) down to her bottom. Light gray eyes.
Common Mannerisms: Bites nails, occasional hand-flapping.
Lust Object: (This is a hard one. Elsa or New!Maleficent?) Let's go with Elsa.
Favorite Princess: Does a queen count? If so, Elsa. If not, Anna.
Favorite Prince: Hans. (She dislikes the 'nice' princes.)
Favorite Villain: Maleficent.
Personality: Cracks under pressure easily -- probably one of the first to break down crying and apologizing. Embarrasses easily. Very friendly. Finds it extremely hard to lie. Probably would see this as an opportunity if she wasn't so horribly embarrassed about having to attend. Drools all over the female villains (though not quite as much as with Elsa, of course.) Over-explains.
Likely Crimes Against Canon: Has a decent grasp of grammar, surprisingly -- the crimes would probably be heinously OOC femslash villain-shipping and having self-inserts go after Elsa. Probably after Villain!Elsa. Terrible at description. Shoving bizarre headcanons where they don't fit.
(Yes, I used to be a fanbrat. No, this isn't exactly how I was -- more a mix of how I was then and how I am now, with all the writing-improvement removed. I was *always* a fangirl for villains, though. Still am. This got too long, drat it. Sorry.)

Name: Adam Johnson. Alias, Jetstream.
Personality: Attention seeking, full stop. Wants the spotlight and will go out of his way to get credit. He's not without at least a smidge of honor, though, and will back down if people call him out on his actions.
LOs: Ariel. Just... ARIEL. Also Eric. Yes, he's bi.
Fave princess and prince: See above. I'd throw in Peter Pan and Hiro Hamada, but you did say this was princesses only, so...
Fave villain: Dr. Falicier. He's such a badass and his Villain Song is the best of the lot, period.

Name: Ellie Scotswood
Favourite Princess: Oh, but it is so hard to pick just one...
Favourite Prince: Pick one at random. They are nothing but haircuts nailed to cardboard.
Favourite Villain: Villains are bad. Why be bad when you can be a good girl? I, I am a good girl. Am I not?
LO: ... no... no, i do not have one and never will... you cannot prove it... please do not tell my parents...
Snip:-
It was wish fulfillment of the highest order.
Ellie knew it, not in a deep down sort of way but consciously. It was a choice she was making to write what she wanted, because she wanted to write it. And what was wrong with it? Why shouldn't she wear a pretty dress and go to the ball? Why shouldn't she dance the night away? Why shouldn't she lean in and kiss --
And there was her answer, staring her down like she was a whole hour late home. There was exactly why she shouldn't. It was simply down to who she wanted, and who she knew she wanted. She'd filled a notebook with stories of her ballroom, and, well, Ellie hated them. Not as much as she hated herself for writing them, though, but that wasn't the issue. She hated her old stories, because she knew how shameful they were. Oh yes. That had been made quite clear.
But she couldn't get the pictures of those nights of dancing out of her head, however hard she tried to squash them flat. Every dream was a ballroom, different but the same, dancing and dancing until dress touched dress and-
-And that was why she wanted to squash them. It was nothing but idle wish fulfillment, nothing more. Typing them up helped, and while sometimes she published them on fanfiction.net - through the necessary five or so proxies - most of them she just printed out and burned in the back garden.
Ellie was typing now, and while she typed, words came unbidden into her head:
"A dream is a wish your heart makes..."

I could see an avatar version of myself applying for the hell of it and seeing what he can learn that he didn't know before.
I'll go ahead and use Dylan Read, AKA both my Plort name and the name of the OFU coordinator I have floating in my head. It's the closest you're getting to my real name, without being a close friend anyway.
In-universe name: Dylan Read
Disney LO: Elsa, though he's unlikely to admit to it. Dylan feels that feeling lust for a fictional character is kinda pointless. He thinks that Elsa is gorgeous, but also feels that he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell with her.
Favorite Prince: Uh... pass? The princes are all the same to me, so Dylan would probably feel the same.
Princess: Vanellope von Schweetz Anna. An interesting and complex character, and I love how Frozen handled the genre.
Villain: Hans. Very dark, very disturbing, very surprising. Best plot twist ever.
... yeah, can you tell what my favorite Disney movie is?
Personality: He'd probably apply for DOFA voluntarily, just to see what he could learn that he didn't already know. He's hungry for knowledge, too cynical to think that the canons would like him (it's an OFU, he has a point), and would openly disapprove of anyone who admits to making darkfics (like say, self-harming heroes).
... okay, he's me, so he's going to sing and he's got a damn good voice. I He tends to sing the first song to pop into my his head. Nobody has a problem with how it sounds... the problem is that he sings at the absolute worst possible times, and tends to interrupt other people's thoughts and actiARE YOU REEEEAAAAAADY!?

This is a Princess-exclusive 'verse: no Peter Pan, Robin Hood, or Alice in Wonderland. Mickey himself is only referenced, never seen. Thought that was worth mentioning.
