This study discovered how the main character in The Complete Persepolis comic – Marjane Satrapi – negotiates her identity as a diaspora. This research employs the qualitative method as the technique to analyze the data. The collected data are presented in the form of pictures and texts related to the research objectives. Furthermore, the data were then analyzed using the theory of Hybridity. Based on the research findings, Marjane’s migration is the main cause of the emergence of her identity crisis. After her migration, she feels like her identity is divided into two different cultures; the culture from her homeland and the culture from where she migrated. However, Marjane eventually is able to negotiate her identity. She is aware of and accepts her in-between identity which resulted from an assimilation of both cultures.
