![]() When Shawn is locked into his room by Haru, Arrietty displays her resourcefulness by getting out onto the roof, squeezing through the window to a different room, climbing up the curtain with human earrings as hooks, and pushing the window latch open, thus allowing both Shawn and herself to get into the rest of the house to find Homily. She is also seen using a green spoon (before she finds the pin) to ward off a cockroach larger than she. ![]() This is Arrietty's weapon of choice, and not only is it a symbol of her ascension from "Daughter of Borrower" to "Borrower," but it's also very useful she uses it to cut the saran wrap on top of the jar her mother is trapped in, and thus successfully complete the rescue mission. So they use staples as ladder rungs and tape stickers as climbing devices, and when Arrietty finds a pin in the kitchen of Aunt Jessica's house, she immediately sees its potential as a sword. When she is not borrowing or traveling, she wears a yellow dress with a copper top and copper shoes.Īrrietty and her family have to be very resourceful if they are to survive in their little unconnected world where goods are made only for "Beans" (humans). ![]() While she has several outfits, including several that are never worn but are seen spread out on her bed (for example, there is a green jumpsuit with long pants and tons of pockets), Arrietty's favorites seem to be two comfortable red dresses, one with a turtleneck collar and long sleeves, and one with a nicked collar and short sleeves. She uses a tiny red clothespin-like object to hold her chestnut hair back when she is adventuring, and after she finds her pin, she carries it everywhere, along with her lasso and satchel. ![]() She is unafraid to speak up and act for what she believes in.Īrrietty is approximately 4 inches tall. She befriends Shawn because she sees the traditional boundaries between their two worlds as conditional and outdated, and because she understands that associating with him is worth the (calculated) risk because he, being a human, can help her situation like no one else can.Īrrietty's open-mindedness shows when she refuses to judge all humans by the few who are evil (like Haru) in her successful befriending of Shawn, she shows a theme of the movie.Ī spirited and passionate sometimes-daredevil, Arrietty is all the reason she's a more powerful borrower because she is motivated by her high degree of familial loyalty and compassion. She's open-minded, clever, and resourceful, an intuitive nonconformist/progressive who refuses to fit into the conventional mold of timid borrowers who are terrified of humans. She's uncompromisingly courageous and eager to be a part of bigger things, both in the literal and figurative senses. Arrietty is extremely inquisitive, adventurous, and always willing to help, no matter the consequences or the risk. However, life changes for the Clocks when a human boy discovers Arrietty."
