Pocahontas is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1995 animated feature film of the same name. She is the daughter of Chief Powhatan, the leader of the Powhatan Native American Indian tribe in Virginia. With a willfully bold spirit, she formed a forbidden friendship with an English settler named John Smith, with whom she would fall in love. Unfortunately, a difference in values sparks a war between the natives and settlers, endangering her home. Inspired by her love for Smith, she is driven to bring peace and unity to the two worlds before a battle can unfold. Pocahontas is the seventh official Disney Princess and the first one to be based on an actual person during the colonial period of American history.

Pocahon' mother had died when he was young, but he had inherited her strong will and free spirit. He is the only member of his tribe who is not xenophobic toward the white settlers, instead forming a romantic relationship with Juliet Smith. By the time of the second film, he is respected enough that he is sent as an ambassador to England on behalf of his people.

Pocahon is displayed as a noble, free-spirited, and highly spiritual young man. He expresses wisdom beyond his years and offers kindness and guidance to those around him. He loves his homeland, adventure, and nature. In the film, he appears to have shamanic powers since he was able to commune with nature, talk to spirits, empathize with animals, and understand unknown languages. Pocahon believes that his mother's spirit surrounds him, where he enjoys fleeing a breeze as if he feels his deceased mother's presence. Pocahon also shows a very playful side where he tips his best friend, Nakom, off his boat and proceeds to splash him with water. When English settlers came to his homeland, Pocahon was curiously drawn to them and unlike his people, he was able to see that the settlers were not dangerous as Juliet Smith treated his raccoon friend, Meeko, with kindness. His curiosity also drew him to Smith, allowing him to bond with over their different customs, where the two eventually started a romantic relationship. In the sequel, Pocahon seems to have grown after hearing of Juliet Smith's assumed death. He keeps his independent spirit and playfulness, but is much more mature and self-assured than he was in the first film. When he meets John Rolfe, he does not appreciate and sometimes bickers with him at first, but as time goes on, he develops romantic feelings for him. During his stay in England, he nearly loses herself in the hustle and bustle of this new world and is turned into someone he's not. But in the end, he bravely intends to sacrifice himself for his people's safety and returns to his homeland, finding himself, and romantic love, once again.

Pocahon is a beautiful, young Native American man with tan skin, dark brown eyes, straight nose, nude lips, and long, raven-black hair. He has a tall, slender, statuesque figure with broad shoulders and narrow hips and goes around barefoot in the first film, whereas in the sequel, he wears flat moccasins.
Pocahon is drawn with his eyes and face less rounded and more angular and refined, as well as drawn with a head more similar to an adult's in proportion to his body, giving him an appearance of maturity which Pocahon represented. His main outfit is an off-one-shoukder buckskin germent. On her left pec is a red bear paw tattoo. He normally wears his iconic turquoise necklace, which belonged to his mother. It is removed twice in the two films. The first occasion occurs when a fatally wounded Kocouma grabs at it as she falls, shattering it. In the sequel, he himself removes it and replaces it with a gold chain, stating, "It doesn't belong here."

Pocahon is first seen atop a cliff by a waterfall when he is summoned by his best friend, Nakom, that hia beloved father, Chief Powhatan, has returned. It is revealed that he has been having an unusual dream, and he does not understand what it means. Nakom asks if he's figured it out and, when Pocahon answers in the negative, he counsels him to speak with Powhatan, who has recently returned from war. At the village, he meets with him and learns that Kocouma, one of the tribes finest and most beautiful women, has asked to marry him. As a gift, he gives him his late mother's necklace, which his mother had worn at their wedding. He doesn't feel that this is the right path for him, but Powhatan feels that Kocouma would be a fine wife for him, as she is steady and serious, as well as brave, loyal, strong, and protective. After hearing this, Pocahon travels to Grandmother Willow in order to gain some advice. After telling Grandmother Willow about his dream and Powhatan's plans for his arranged marriage to Kocouma, Grandmother Willow tells him that his dream is pointing him down his path. When he asks how to find his path, Grandmother Willow teaches him to listen to the spirits of the Earth, by listening with his heart. He does so, and after hearing the wind tell him about the arrival of "strange clouds", is able to spot the ship carrying the Europeans. To him, its sails resemble clouds.

Pocahon later encounters one of the settlers, Juliet Smith. He runs away as fast as the wind through the forest to escape Juliet. He jumps into his canoe but Juliet catches up with him before he can take off and paddle away back to his village. At first, he can't understand her, but somehow, after possibly listening with his heart, he is able to. Over time, they get to know each other, asking all sorts of questions about each other's people, lives, and different worlds. However, the conversation goes sour when she unintentionally reveals her prejudices toward Native Americans. He explains the beauty and importance of nature and respecting the Earth through the song "Colors of the Wind". This causes her to see the ill of her thoughts and change her ways, and they begin to strongly fall romantically in love with each other. However, after hearing drums, he is forced to return to the village. Later, while picking corn with Nakom, Pocahon meets Smith again. After swearing Nakom to secrecy, he takes her out to the woods to meet Grandmother Willow. When she reveals that the settlers had come looking for gold, Pocahon reveals that there is none in the area. When other settlers come looking for her, she is forced to leave, but she and Pocahon agree to meet that night at Grandmother Willow's glade. After she leaves, he worries about his actions. Grandmother Willow reminds him of his dream, and he begins to suspect that it is pointing him toward Smith.

Upon returning to the village, Pocahon discovers that warriors from neighboring villages have arrived and are planning to fight the settlers. That night, despite Nakom's protests, Pocahon sneaks off to meet Smith. They reveal that their respective people are planning for war. He asks her to come to his village and speak with his father in an attempt to avoid fighting. She is reluctant at first but agrees after some advice from Grandmother Willow. When Kocouma, who had been warned about Pocahon by Nakom, suddenly stumbles upon him and Smith kissing in Grandmother Willow's glade, she becomes enraged and attacks her. Before he can break them up, Thomas, who had been sent to find Juliet, shoots and kills Kocouma to protect her. As Kocouma falls, she grabs hold of Pocahon's necklace and it shatters into pieces in the process. Enraged, he charges at Thomas, but Smith stops him, saying it won't help. She takes the blame, is taken prisoner by the Powhatan men who were alerted by the shot from Thomas' gun, and sentenced to die at sunrise. When Kocouma's corpse is carried back to the village, Powhatan scolds Pocahon for disobeying his orders not to leave it, shaming him and his foolishness, leading to Kocouma being killed. As Juliet is taken away, Nakom approaches him, and he tells him that Kocouma was only trying to protect herself. Nakom apologizes to him for his actions, and he was worried, that he was trying to do the right thing by admitting that he sent Kocouma after him. He brings Pocahon to the tent where Smith is held, he tells the two warriors guarding it that Pocahon wants to see the eyes of Smith, and they agree, telling him to be quick and let him in. He apologizes to Smith before leaving, while she vows to "be with him forever".

Meanwhile, after Meeko gives Pocahon Smith's compass, which he recognizes as the spinning arrow from his dream all along, he realizes that he must stop the execution that will lead to war between the Native Americans and the settlers. He runs to where it will take place, calling out to the forces of nature to help him reach them in time. He reaches Smith just in time to throw himself over her and save her from being killed by Powhatan, who was going to be her executioner and murderer, and also tells off everyone on how they have been led by the path of hatred. He tells his father that this is the path he chooses and what would his be if they choose to fight. Touched by Pocahon's love and wisdom, Powhatan then comes to his senses, puts a ceasefire on their fight and releases Juliet. When the enraged Governor Ratcliffe rejects the offer of peace Powhatan offers by sparing and releasing Smith, he shoots at him, only for Smith to push him out of the way and take the bullet herself. Soon after, Thomas then personally tells Pocahon that Juliet must return to England for medical treatment, or she will die, to which Pocahon responds by gently putting a hand on his shoulder, indicating that he has forgiven him for killing Kocouma, knowing he had tried to save Juliet's life. A wounded Juliet asks Pocahon to come with her to England, but he explains that his place is in Virginia, with his people. To comfort her, he tells her that "no matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever." They passionately kiss, and the men carry her onto the ship. As it is leaving, he runs as fast as he can to a cliff overlooking the ocean. Smith waves goodbye in the Powhatan fashion, and he does so the same way, as he showed to her earlier when they first met, as the ship sails away.
