hm yes that is true buuuut

she's more fit for Slytherin given her actions. She was brave, yes, but only when her family was concerned. and even then she was willing to put them (and her kingdom) at risk just to get what she wanted. merida is cunning, she's selfish (though not that slytherins inherantly are), reckless, and lives by her own rules. she cares solely about her allies and will only step up and be brave when it helps HER.

Not that Merida doesnt have Gryff traits, because she does, but her Slyth ones kind of overrule them. though the hat does take your choice into consideration and she probably wouldn't pick 'the evil house'.
