Coraline Jones
Coraline Jones is the titular protagonist of Neil Gaiman's dark fantasy novella Coraline. The novella has been adapted into a 2008 comic, but it is most famous for the 2009 stop-motion animated feature film directed by Henry Selick (who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas) and produced by Laika Studios. While her background differs on each adaptation (like being British on the novella and American on the movie), the story remains the same: a bored girl finds a portal to an alternate, identical world where its residents have buttons for eyes and caters to her every need. But when Coraline discovers that the entire thing is a trap for a hungry child-eating predator, she must overcome her fears and use her wits to escape the other world.
Tournament History[edit]
Coraline is primarily voted for the movie, which is widely praised for its impressive, atmospheric visuals and engaging storyline. She is the leading female stop-motion representative in the Ms. /co/ tournaments with five berths since 2019, but her career there is best described as a a high-ranking nominee who is typically eliminated in rounds 3 or 4. Coraline's best results to date have been in 2020, where she took advantage of several early upsets in her bracket to sneak into round 4, where she lost to returning elite member Starfire, and in 2023, where she was eliminated in round 4 to Alex from Totally Spies.
Like most midcarders, Coraline has produced sporadic OC works from voters, but those that do often utilize the Other World's creepy button eyes.
Coraline's next eligible contest will be in Ms. /co/ 2024.
