I agree on what TreepeltA113 said about Hiccup being the least Slytherin of the four (I would argue that on Rapunzel's point, but I suppose that would be stereotypical).

I don't think Rapunzel has ever lied in her life. If you're reffering to when she told Gothel that she had forgotten about the "floating lights," I would point out that Rapunzel did that, not out of self-preservatoin, but to preserve her loving relationship with the woman she believed was her mother.

I can't remember a point when Mérida lied; she was pretty much like "This is what I think, If you don't agree, I have a weapon" throughout the beginning of the movie, if that's what you mean. I do think that, in her "Hero's Journey" in her movie, she did start out with the qualities of a good Slytherin-- not the stereotypical bullying Malfoy-like Slytherin, but a true Slytherin-- and moves on out of that, though I believe she's more of a Gryffindor at heart. Looking at the story again, I don't think they should've called it Brave: Mérida didn't have to be brave to change her fate-- Hiccup had to be brave, Rapunzel had to be brave, Jack had to be brave-- in reality, Mérida had to be humble to break the spell she cast upon her mother, to admit that she had been wrong and Elinor had been right (not about the marriage thing, Mérida was right about that, but she dealt with it in the wrong way).

Not sure how you got the idea that Jack is the most honest, though I appreciate that you waited until you saw the movie to judge. Jack isn't dishonest, but he's not known for his honesty.
