Attack on Titan on Hogwarts | Guide

Mikasa Ackerman

Blood Status: Half-Blood.
Following canon Mikasa is half-blood, her dad was an Ackerman and her mom an Azumabito. Yes, both are relevant in the story but I want to keep the mixed bloodline as it is something characteristic and important in her as well. Let's just leave it at that her dad was a wizard and her mom a muggle.

Quidditch: Chaser of her team.

Favorite class: Divination.

Patronus: Butterfly.
An obvious one.
Butterflies have an innate gift for competitiveness. It is effortless for them to adapt to any environment thanks to their great flexibility. If the team needs it, they are qualified to provide what they demand at all times. Their charm and physical presence help them win the admiration of others.

House: Hufflepuff.
When it comes to placing Mikasa in a house, she is often placed in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Slytherin (although not in Ravenclaw as far as I know), although she is usually placed in Gryffindor for her bravery, in Hufflepuff for the quality of loyalty that the Ackermans have or because of the classic "being cool and reserved = Slytherin". Let's break down why I see her in Hufflepuff.

Why isn't Mikasa a Ravenclaw?
As soon as Mikasa is smart and should have had a good academic score as well to finish number one in the top of her troop (in addition to all her physical abilities) she is not a person who puts learning and intellect first, and although she is witty is not predominant in her; neither is she a motivated recruit because her effort does not come from her own goals but from her loyalty to her loved ones, leading her to be where she is because she wants to protect others and mainly Eren; neither is she proud of her ideas or methods, she is not interested in that subject; she is not someone unusual or eccentric or curious although she is rational (when her emotions do not cloud her judgment) and hardworking.

Why is Mikasa not a Slytherin?
Mikasa has no leader material, she is not cunning or ambitious, in fact she is extremely conformist because she wants very few things in her life and if she could have them she would be completely satisfied with them; although she is strong, determined and oriented to what she wants; however, she has no sense of self-preservation since she always puts her loved ones above her while she does not feel a need to protect herself by not caring about risking her life to save others that she loves; Mikasa is usually impulsive, her feelings often control her and lead her to do things without thinking about them first; neither does she have a particular disregard for rules.

Why isn't Mikasa a Gryffindor?
Mikasa is extremely brave and has a lot of courage, so much so that she doesn't even blink when fighting with dozens of titans; she is not exactly chivalrous nor does she have much temper but she always defends tooth and nail what she believes in without ever giving up, which makes her very intimidating; she doesn't mind breaking the rules if necessary for what she's doing; however, she does not see the challenges or obstacles in a positive way in order to prove herself enjoying them because she does not maintain interest in that kind of thing.

Why is Mikasa a Hufflepuff?
Mikasa is a hard-working person, humble and without prejudice; she is quite reserved so she is not really friendly although once she is close to a person she is very kind; she is extremely loyal and this is known, with Eren and Armin being the greatest examples of her closest relationships and therefore to whom she is most loyal; she is very modest about what she has achieved because she never gets carried away by her achievements or what others think of her even if she is humanity's second strongest soldier (yeah, sorry Mike); she is not competitive at all either because those things do not matter to her at all and she is always focused on what she wants to do to protect others and not in if she is better or not than others.

Extra fact: She is the best player in the school so it is presumed that she will become a professional player (she likes the idea since she enjoys the game).
