meme: sorting hat!

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Since we haven't done this one since almost a year ago to the day, and I'm once again totally alone in my office all day long. Wah.

Stolen originally from stacyexperiment:

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.

AIODT...lazy.

I totally can't say work as an excuse. I have a to-do list with three things on it and I'm here another six and a half hours.

Re: Rapunzel | Celia Bowen | Irene Adler | Cheryl/Carol Tunt | Rory Skywalker | Sookie Drake

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

You have some tough ones IMHO. Rory I could easily classify as a Ravenclaw. For Rapunzel I'm splitting somewhere between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. If she was at the end of canon I'd probably point her more toward Gryffindor.

I haven't interacted enough with Celia or Irene yet and I don't know their canon that well. Based on Sherlock Holmes original stories I'd probably put her in Slytherin but based on what I've read in game I'd lean her towards Ravenclaw.

Cheryl/Carol... Jesus. I have no idea.

I'm rambling. Does it sound like I'm rambling?

Raven | Bel

[trigons_child]

I have actually never read the books, so I honestly don't know. At a guess I would say Raven would be Hufflepuff and Bel Slytherin? I dunno, you tell me. :)

Raven

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Raven is totally like a huge Hufflepuff, because she's loyal and all about friendship and all of that.

HOWEVER. I also see a lot of Gryffindor in her, because Raven's utter devotion to her friends makes her do stupid, foolhardy brave shit, which is totally the Gryffindor way.

Barry Ween/Vic Moretti/Jayne Cobb

[notaweenie.livejournal.com]

All in one. That's it. I'm just doing all in one and I'm not giving a reason.

Hard for me to pick just one for my group except for Jayne. Jayne's a total Slytherin.

Barry Ween

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Barry to me seems like a Ravenclaw who maybe could've gone Slytherin if he was just a little less susceptible to people whacking him upside the head for being amoral.

Anders | Alana | Bay Kennish | Jack Priest

[bitten_notshy]

AIODTW, as usual.

Anders

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Okay, bear in mind that I have not played Dragon Age, at all, so I'm going entirely off what I've seen.

But Anders seems like a sort of reluctant Gryffindor -- like, a guy who totally will do the right, brave thing, and will go off on quests and adventures and so on, but is going to bitch his way through it.

Johnny/Flash/Jessica/Bruce

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

I actually think the new guys are as straightforward as it gets, although it's possible I haven't driven the point home with Flash. And I have very strong thoughts about Jessica (who may be different than what I thought last time, actually, if I remember what I thought last time) and Bruce.

But I curious if people agree so HAVE AT IT.

Johnny

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Like, textbook Gryffindor, right?

World-saving, swaggery, super-courageous and attention-seeking but maybe doesn't think through his plan 100% of the time -- but it still somehow works because he's a total, total Gryffindor.

Andros | Vider | Herc | Zero

[bearmaidenfair]

AIODTReasons.

Re: Andros | Vider | Herc | Zero

[nobloodymessiah.livejournal.com]

I haven't pinged very much against Vider, so I could be way off, but I kind of get the rough-around-the-edges, survive-at-all-costs vibe from her, which is totally Slytherin in my book.

Flick | Nathan | Travis | Hatter | Sam | Jim | Bod

[flickofthewrist]

All in one due to workiness and LJ still making me type captchas each time I try and comment.

Hatter

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

...can just come sit with Irene and snark with her in the Slytherin common room and make fun of all the other less interesting, less resourceful people.

Seriously, he's such a Slytherin with a heart of gold. Cunning, quick, out for himself and the people he cares about, the end.

Kitty/Sia/Gwen/Aeryn/Jaina/Jaye

[throughaphase]

AIODTW! I've got some new kids here since the last time we did this too!

Kitty

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Man, Kitty could really go anywhere (except I don't see her in Slytherin), but I sort of think she's like a Hermione-type -- super-nerd, but ultimately belongs in Gryffindor.

Allie Sekemoto

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

She's definitely not a Ravenclaw, unless street smart counts. But beyond that, I'm stumped.

Re: Allie Sekemoto

[throughaphase]

Without knowing canon at all, I think Allie's got qualities for a few houses. She's loyal, and I'd say she'd have to have some Slytherin in her probably to survive as long as she did in her world, but I want to ultimately say Gryffindor.

Eleanor Lamb / Pam Poovey / Rinoa Heartilly / Rikku

[nobloodymessiah.livejournal.com]

AIODTW!

Eleanor Lamb

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Eleanor is totally a Ravenclaw with Slytherin tendencies or a Slytherin with Ravenclaw tendencies, depending on the day.

I lean Ravenclaw for actual canon-Harry-like reasons -- ie, I think Eleanor inherently wants to be good, and would sit there going, 'Not Slytherin, not Slytherin,' mostly because we all know that's where Sofia would go, and Eleanor wants the opposite of that.

Isabelle | Electroclash | Mike | Natalie | Kate | Jackson

[seveninchmotto]

AIODT this stupid photography assignment.

Natalie

[flickofthewrist]

SLYTHERIN. Such a Slytherin and will be even more of a Slytherin when she becomes Envy. There is no other choice for Natalie. NOPE NONE.

Hannibal Lecter

[sharp_as_knives]

I still maintain he could as easily be Ravenclaw as Slytherin.

Re: Hannibal Lecter

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

If anything I almost think Hannibal is more Ravenclaw -- intellectual, kinda snobby, deeply offended by rudeness? SO RAVENCLAW.

I mean, the whole eating-people does make him stand out a little, sure. But I think he'd want to be in Ravenclaw, too -- if the hat was debating it, like it does in canon with Harry, Hannibal would totally want to be in Ravenclaw because being in Slytherin would totally blow his cover.

(Not that all Slytherins are evil, at all, but it would definitely make it harder to cover up the whole cannibal thing if his house was kind of known for being not-that-nice.)

Éponine | Cosette | Tahiri | Kennedy | Stephanie | Jen

[filleauloup]

I have my own ideas (like Éponine being my lone Slytherin in a gaggle of Gryffindors, though I think Tahiri has some Slytherin traits as well) but I'm curious as to whether anyone else sees it differently.

Re: Éponine | Cosette | Tahiri | Kennedy | Stephanie | Jen

[nobloodymessiah.livejournal.com]

Cosette is such a Gryffindor. And so's Kennedy, for that matter, although she's a lot more practical than your average Gryffindor.

Cecil Gershwin Palmer

[voiceoverdue]

Is there a Weird House? There should totally be a House Weird.

Re: Cecil Gershwin Palmer

[nobloodymessiah.livejournal.com]

All the weirdos tend to hang out in Ravenclaw, as far as I can tell. That's where you get the people who think knowledge is Shiny and don't know much about social interaction.

If Luna got to be a 'Claw, so can Cecil.

Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren

[kenselvren]

New girl hasn't done this one yet!

Re: Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren

[spin_kick_snap]

Ooooh, Jalian is haaaaard. She's smart enough to be a 'Claw, but that might just be because she's from the future? I don't see her as being particularly studious... I think she's a Gryffindor--she's more the take action type than any of the others, I think.

Raven Darkholme | Pinkie Pie | Roland Chapman | Eliot Spencer | Priestly

[tigerundercover]

AIODT that's how I roll

Re: Raven Darkholme | Pinkie Pie | Roland Chapman | Eliot Spencer | Priestly

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

So I think Raven is a Slytherin, but mostly in the "survivor" sense -- she will do what she needs to in order to get by, regardless of consequences/fallout. But she also has some very sweet Hufflepuff tendencies, in terms of loyalty and such, which makes for like the weirdest combination ever.

So I guess I'm saying Raven's a Slytherpuff? Is that a thing?

And meanwhile Pinkie Pie is going to like, take over as Hufflepuff house head when she comes back to Hogwarts to teach after being a student. She is the Hufflepuffiest Hufflepuff ever.

SUCH a Gryffindor, based entirely on what I've seen here since I know not his canon. But such such a Gryffindor.

Jono/Warren/Elsa/Sparkle/Nikolai/Reno

[furnaceface]

AIODTW!

Re: Jono/Warren/Elsa/Sparkle/Nikolai/Reno

[sharp_as_knives]

Elsa - such a Ravenclaw with her love of learning!

Sparkle is definitely a Slytherin, but I think it's by necessity. He had to be for himself, because nobody else was. He's a survivor, and that's meant he's had to get street-smart and ruthless sometimes. By nature, I think he's a lot closer to Hufflepuff; he just hasn't had people to be loyal to, much benefit from his hard work, or much fairness in his life. *hugs him*

Jono, on the other hand, is most definitely a Gryffindor. Possibly not for the best of reasons all the time (he is worthy, dang it, and needs to stop throwing himself in front of metaphorical bullets for people!), but a Gryffindor.

Reno so far (don't know his fandom) seems to be the good kind of Slytherin - he'll do what it takes to get things done, though hopefully that involves keeping people alive.

Nick, you are such a Gryffindor! Stop pretending you're a Slytherin. *sigh*

Warren...I have no clue about! Hufflepuff maybe, because of the loyalty?

Kaylin Neya

[notamascot]

I've never thought about this for her...

Re: Kaylin Neya

[spin_kick_snap]

I'm gonna put Kaylin in Gryffindor! Brash, tactless, ready for a fight? Sounds pretty Gryff to me!

Kathy/Evie/Karla/Navaan

[spin_kick_snap]

AIODTLate

Kathy/Karla

[iceolatedqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. These are tough...

Kathy is a toss-up, I'd say. She's one of those kids that sat down under the hat expecting Ravenclaw because of how hard she studies, and even the hat had to take a moment to waffle about it before flinging her into Gryffindor, confusing the heck out of everyone, especially her. And then shit got real and she completely stepped up to prove that she's Gryff material, no question about it. Her parents hate it.

Karla is one of those not-evil Slytherin, I'd say. She does what she needs to do in order to do what needs to get done, consequences be damned. Yeah, she'll push herself too hard for her friends and run off to play hero and she's more fierce than a whole pack of badgers if you hurt her friends, but being Queen comes first, and everything she's had to do along the way shows just how ambitious and resourceful she really is.

... So somebody should put her in a snek sweater.

Joker | Squall | Mike Ehrmantraut

[fly-so-serious.livejournal.com]

AOIDT*

Squall Leonhart

[nobloodymessiah.livejournal.com]

I have this theory that Squall's a Hufflepuff. HEAR ME OUT.

Gryffindor's out, because while Squall's the hero type, he doesn't do it because he needs to save the day, he does it because it's his job. He's not a Slytherin; he doesn't have that kind of cunning or ambition. And he's not a Ravenclaw who likes knowledge: he wants to know how to do specific things in order to further what he needs to do.

But I'm not calling him a Puff as in the default "he doesn't fit anywhere else vOv" thing either. He's -- okay, it takes him a while to realize that he cares about people, because trauma, but once he does, it's like, touch his peeps and die.

So it's like he's a Hufflepuff at heart who was traumatized into pretending he was a Gryffindor, and then when he learns to give a shit about people, back into Puff.
