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'd say Slytherin too! Almost against her will, really, because usually she doesn't want anything besides seemingly petty things. But when she does want them, she's clever and she goes for it. Hard.

She does have some Hufflepuff edges buried in there deep somewhere, too.

I'd agree with that one, yup. She hasn't gotten a whole lot of reasons to get all 'Puffy by this point in her life, but she's got that streak in her for sure. But for the most part, she's really good at getting what she wants and ignoring social conventions to do it. Slytherin.
