'''The traits for  Slytherin are traditionalism, r esourcefulness, c unning, a mbition, l eadership qualities, s elf-preservation, d etermination, i ntelligence, f raternity, and p ower. Now, out of this entire list? The only thing Merida is missing would be traditionalism—in fact, she rebels against it. In her rebellion, though, she showedevery single one of these aspects. She shows both resourcefulness and cunning in her “shooting for her own hand,” and being raised as a princess she demands respect. She’s intelligent and much like her mother displays a kind of power, however… she’s very selfish. She preserves her own self more than others. This is proved by her quote of “We’ll be expecting your declarations of war in the morning!” She doesn’t care about her kingdom, just herself. However, this brings me to the trait fraternity—because despite how angry she was at her mom, upon learning something bad would happen to her mother, she did everything in her power to help. She cares about those important to her. I feel as though Merida is the very embodiment of everything Slytherin. They’re not all bad people. '''
