Meme: Sorting Hat

Okay, I've actually wanted to do this meme for weeks but then I was all, 'wait until the newbies are here' and now they are here so here we go. This was last done in March and we've had a ton of new people since then, and plus we've had more time to get to know the people who've been around for a while! So to steal from [livejournal.com profile] solo_sword:

For those of you not familiar with Harry Potter, there are four houses into which the students are sorted based on certain defining traits:

Gryffindor- daring, courage and chivalry
Hufflepuff- hard workers, loyalty, fairness
Ravenclaw- wit, learning, and wisdom
Slytherin- cunning, resourcefulness and ambition

A couple points for clarification because I've seen a lot of sorting stuff over the years:
All hero types are not necessarily Gryffindors.
All jerks/bad guys are not necessarily Slytherins, nor are all Slytherins necessarily jerks/bad guys.
Hufflepuff is not where you stick someone just because you can't think of anything else.
People can totally fit into more than one house.

All you have to do is ping your characters in, and people can chime in with which house they think your character belongs in. You can totally comment as to where you think your character should go, too. Feel free to give reasons when sorting people because that's half the fun, just don't be mean or I will totally come over there. And don't forget to check back during the day as more people ping in.

I'm gonna say Sparks is a Slyth by way of 'every man for himself' type thinking. He's not into power so much as just survival, but it counts, I think.

As weird as this sounds, I feel like Sparkle is a cross between a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff? Like, he's got the "my neck before yours" thing, but he's also SO LOYAL once he gets there.

I think Ravenclaw, albeit an unconventional one. Sparkle gets by on his wits.

Oooh. I like this reasoning and would like to support it.

I'm leaning Hufflepuff myself. Sparkle knows how to look after himself and he's got a fine shield made up of snark, but I see his most defining trait here as having your back once you've earned that loyalty.
