Take Me There to Disneyland

Marinette Dupain-Cheng ~ Slytherin!

To those people who think all Slytherins are bad guys or at least dark anti-hero types, I'd like to introduce the Miraculous Ladybug herself as exhibit A in my case proving you wrong. Marinette's goals of being a fashion designer and earning Adrien's affection are very self-focused and she chases them with single-minded determination, but Marinette is not a selfish or mean-spirited person. Yes, she can be girly and a little spastic sometimes, but when she's looking to help, her resourcefulness is what always ends up pulling her through, whether as a civilian or as Ladybug. Marinette is the hero that we Slytherins have been waiting for, showcasing our values of ambition, cleverness, determination, and resourcefulness in the best possible light.

Adrien Agreste ~ Hufflepuff!

What Adrien craves over and over throughout the series is to be loved, whether by his father or Ladybug or through the new friendships he's made. He is loyal to his father Gabriel despite the way he's treated him, and he loves his friends and partner Ladybug more than anything else in the world. As Chat Noir he also frequently will put himself in harm's way to protect Ladybug, showcasing a selfless quality that Hufflepuffs are known for. At the same time, though, Adrien is no hot-headed, knight-in-shining-armor Gryffindor -- he's patient, down-to-earth, and modest, a lot like Hufflepuff paragon Cedric Diggory. There has been some conjecture online about how RL Hufflepuffs and Slytherins often end up getting along well and/or have romantic chemistry, and in the case of Marinette and Adrien, I'd say it's true!

Nausicaa ~ Ravenclaw!

Nausicaa may be a courageous warrior and princess, but at her heart she is a pacifist and a scholar. She is fascinated by the Omnu and the poisonous forest surrounding her kingdom and actively studies them, and it is thanks to her wisdom and knowledge that she is able to prevent whole-sale destruction. I do see Nausicaa as being on the cusp between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but in the end, I see Nausicaa as the sort to choose peace and restoring order over nobility and championing a cause.

Arrietty ~ Gryffindor!

Like most Borrowers, Arrietty is incredibly resourceful and smart, but what sets her apart from her family is that she is unafraid of confrontation and of humans. She follows her heart for the core of her morality like Gryffindors do, and she will rebel against the way things are both to protect her family and do what she thinks must be done.

Nina Sayers ~ Ravenclaw!

Nina's drive throughout Black Swan's runtime is to chase perfection -- in other words, achievement. It becomes her obsession and causes her to neglect everything else, whether her relationships or emotional and physical health. A love of achievement is often associated with Ravenclaws, and in this case Nina takes that love to the extreme. She is lost in her own head and too in love with the idea of perfection to acknowledge the real world and accept the conflicting emotions inside of herself. Her madness only detaches her further from the world, when she was already rather detached to begin with. And that perfection she seeks isn't for the sake of her loved ones, the audience watching her, or even a personal ambition to become a great dancer. She doesn't care that she's bleeding out on a mattress by the end of the movie and will probably die -- her performance was perfect. Nothing else matters.

Unfortunately Lily's motivations and personality are a bit hard to discern, given how much of her part is purposefully muddled with the doppelgängers of her in Nina's head, so I don't know if I could accurately Sort the actual character.
