Summary of Marinette

Brainstorm

Marinette is a French parisian who has basically a double life! She is a baker and a student at high school and is an aspiring fashion designer. She's your typical bubbly high schooler who has a very happy personality. She deeply cares for all of her friends and would do anything to protect them. One time when she can't act like herself is when she's around her crush Adrien. She get's really flustered and can't really speak a simple sentance. But there's one thing the other characters in the show know. She's also Paris's protecter Ladybug! She's almost a completely different person. She's still super brave and would do anything to protect her friends and other parisians. She's so much more smooth and confident in herself. She will do anything to protect Paris. She's very selfnenss and can think on the fly!

Marinette has a strong superego and weak id. Her superego makes her a super level headed person and holds super high standards for herself. Since this is a kids show I'm pretty sure they made her this way so kids would copy her and be able to look up to her. She always puts school first and puts other needs before her own. Everyone sees her as a responsible reliable figure. The only time her id comes into play is when she is around her crush Adrian. She always seems to be blind to others and others feelings when Adrian is around; almost like a tunnel vision and she only sees him. Her id always tells her that she needs to put him first and cater to him to get his attention. Her ego balances the two out and the cycle basically repeats anytime she's in that vicinity. As Ladybug (her secret superhero identity) she completely changes. Her drive to save Paris is the only thing on her mind. She has no time to think about her crush for Adrian and its almost like her confidence sky rockets, which is an amazing thing! It's really cool to see that as soon as she has on a mask all of her insecurities fade away and she only has on thing that drives her.

Psychoanalytic

Marinette is a really strong independent woman! According to the stages of self-actualization she is kind of on the right path. For her psychological needs she's basically set. She has all the food, water, shelter, sleep, and clothing she needs. And for her safety? Well she's a bad ass superhero who defends all of Paris! She's basically set for her personal security and resources since she works at her fathers bakery. She's super healthy and has all the friends and support one needs. Her self esteem can sort of need a little work. Since she respects herself but sometimes she can get a little insecure around Lila or Adrian. She is loved by her parents and friends. But one thing she definitely needs is love. She's so infatuated with Adrian she can sometimes be blind to all of her choices and actions around her. But as Ladybug she is basically trying to be the most she can offer and almost reaches it. In order to achieve self actualization she will need to love herself more and be able to put personal feels aside. Marinette's ideal self, is basically who she is now but in a relationship with Adrian. It's her perfect dream. But in reality her actual self can sometimes by a clumsy mess around her big crush. She actually has a positive self-concept and because of that she knows she has an unconditional positive regard from her parents and her closest friends. She knows in her darkest times she can rely on her friends and family to help pick her up and always support her. Because of her environment she is able to flourish mentally, academically, and physically. She strives for her best self and has a natural ability to help others and pick them up as well. Because of the environment she had growing up she's a genuinely nice person who is empathetic of others. But until she gets over her crush, or get the love she desires she will be able to achieve self-actualization

bio-psychosocial

Social Cognitive

There are a bunch of different factors that influence behavior. Since personality and behaviors are based on your environments, reciprocal determinism causes Marinette to change who she is around certain people. Around one of the new girls Lila she feels threatened because as soon as she entered her enviornment everything changed because of the way she is settling by lying to every one. Because of this Marinette feels some kind of anger and she is worried about all of her friends leaving her. Because of this Marinette uses her traits of thinking and judging to try to find out how to expose Lila and catch her in all her lies. Since Marinette is insecure about Lila being in her circle if someone else from that same circle was to act differently it would be a bit strange because no one else seems to notice Lila's interior motives and no one is as perceptive as Marinette.
