spaceRiddles bit back a sigh as she approached the stool. It wasn't that she wasn't interested in her sorting, really, but she didn't like things on her head. Hair. Specifically her hair. Especially not a hat that had been on thousands upon thousands of other heads over the years, no offense to the probably-enchanted-to-prevent-lice hat. But, she didn't figure she'd be too difficult to sort, anyway, so it'd probably be over quickly. She didn't care what house she got, although if she ended up in Slytherin like her father and aunt she might begin to wonder if the Lovell line was capable of producing anything but. Which boded rather well for her eventual cousins, given that from her understanding, Deveron's side of the family avoiding the house was something of an aberration. Still, she imagined she'd either end up in Slytherin like the rest of her family, or Ravenclaw. The other houses weren't entirely out of the question, she supposed, but those two were the more likely outcomes. Assuming she knew herself as well as she thought she did, anyway. But who knows? Maybe the hat would find something odd lurking in her subconscious and throw her for a loop. That'd be interesting.
INDEPENDENT xxx»» Ridley is very self-sufficient for her age. She doesn't need a lot of coddling. She's perfectly content to be left to her own devices, and can easily entertain herself. She's not exactly anti-social but she does like to be left alone, as she says being around people 'drains her creativity'. She doesn't need looking after for the most part, and can generally be trusted to clothe, feed (small snacks, either cold or with the microwave), and bathe herself. She doesn't ask for help unless she absolutely needs it.
CURIOUS xxx»» Ridley feels happiest when she is learning. What, it doesn't really matter, she just wants to be observing and absorbing new information. She picks things up quite easily, because whenever she is watching them done, she watches quite intently. She finds the simplest things utterly fascinating. You could stick her in front of an educational television program and be confident that she wouldn't budge an inch from the couch until it was over, and that's only if whatever was airing afterwards wasn't equally interesting (which it typically is). She likes to try things herself once she's seen them done, or at the very least 'help' one of her parents show it to her in person if she's seen it on the telly or internet and it's too dangerous for her to do herself.
CREATIVE xxx»» She has grown up around very clever, very creative people. As such, she is growing into being clever and creative as well. She's very witty for her age, with a rather vast vocabulary thanks to the fact that her father doesn't alter his speech for her to understand. She likes to solve puzzles, and will oftentimes solve it the simplest way first, to prove she can, and then find more complicated, interesting solutions just to satisfy her own curiosity. She's also something of an artist, mostly musically thanks to her mum, but she also has an eye for color. She fancies herself an interior designer, and likes to change the arrangement of the furniture in her room frequently. Her first show of magic happened when she was five, when she dreamed a new color scheme for her bedroom and woke to find she'd altered the real room in her sleep to match.
EXPRESSIVE xxx»» Riddles wears her heart on her sleeve; she's quite open with her opinions and feelings, and doesn't hesitate to say what's on her mind. It's never hard to guess what she's thinking, because it's usually quite evident on her face. She often gets frustrated when she tried to explain something to someone her own age, mostly because her vocabulary is rather advanced for her age and they don't understand her, as it's very important to her that she be understood. That said, since expressing herself this way is in her nature, she has trouble simplifying things. She finds that it's easier to explain herself when she can use her full vocabulary, since trying to think of the equivalent in simpler terms can lose some of what she's trying to get across.
SNARKY xxx»» When in doubt, resort to sarcasm. That's how her parents live, and that's how Ridley does as well. Whenever she feels any emotion that would generally be considered negative, she uses her wit as armor, defending herself with sharp words and a haughty tone of voice. Unfortunately, neither of her parents sees the slightest problem with this, so she doesn't even attempt to censor herself for the sake of politeness. When corrected or scolded, she typically responds with... more sarcasm. It's her defense mechanism against anything, and how she deals with people who 'wear her out with their idiocy.'
BLUNT xxx»» Ridley has no filter, whatsoever. She says what's on her mind, and typically gets away with it. Her parents usually laugh it off and claim 'kids will be kids' or something to that effect. In reality, they just think it's funny to see their six year old blab something that they're expected to be too mature to say but are absolutely thinking. She's quite opinionated, and doesn't hesitate to share her opinions with the world at large. As a result, sometimes she comes off as a bit harsh, when really she's just stating things as she sees them.

Will walked with the other First Years into the Great Hall, feeling rather crowded as all of them crammed between two tables. He hoped they were called in order of surname, because if he had to wait for 'William' to spring up, he'd be one of the last few standing there. He didn't want to be standing there at all, but rather he wished sorting was done privately or by mail so he'd just be able to sit down. He crossed his arms, a small frown on his face. Most of the other kids looked pee-their-pants anxious, but he wasn't nervous. Not like he cared which house he was in, nor would his parents. Heck, neither of them had even gone to Hogwarts, how would they know the difference? He listened to the speeches, then to the hat, then just waited for his name to be called. Luckily, they seemed to be going by last name, so he wasn't waiting long. As soon as his name was spoken, he strode to the front, carefully avoiding contact with as many people as possible.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Grumpy: Will is usually seen with a frown on his face. His demeanor often has other kids around his age lingering away from him. He, admittedly, doesn't mind that they stay away, and usually acts grumpier to make them leave him alone. xxxxx⇾Tempermental: Even being grumpy, Will has his good days. Unfortunately, Will has a temper with a very short fuse. If anything sets him off, beware, he has no cap on where his anger can take him. xxxxx⇾Perceptive: Will is surprisingly good at noticing details. He's able to point out things that most other people wouldn't notice. It's a useful skill when he's searching ways to get out of trouble. xxxxx⇾Resourceful: Will, particularly when in trouble, calls upon any sort of resources he can get his hands on. He's good at getting out of trouble, even if he has to call upon a sad little voice and big, doe eyes. xxxxx⇾Impressionable: Quite a few things make deep marks on Will's personality, and he tries to mimic people he loves to garner their attention. He firmly believes that by copying people he thinks of as successful, he'll grow to be the very same. xxxxx⇾Scared: Above all, and kept very deep inside, Will is scared. He's afraid of what might happen in his life based on what has already experienced. He hides his fear by showing anger, and very, very seldom admits his fear.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... My, my, impatient, are we? And not one for attention, either, well then Lucky for you, I can make this quick A quick mind and a keen eye, you'll do well in Slytherin!
You said, oh girl, it's a cold world When you keep it all to yourself I said, you can't hide on the inside All the pain you've ever felt Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back 'Cause we got nobody else
Nico was happy that he wowed Sam. Mabye they could be friends? He was so excited but also so nervous. He was not used to lots of people in one place. While he was nervous, it was outweighed by the excitement and hunger for food. Even though the tangled ball of feelings in his gut his hair seemed to have settled back on a mint green. He followed the nice teacher into the great hall. Taken aback for a second by the sheer number of people in the room, it made him stop for a moment making him fall to the back but he kept up. He did hope people didn't stare at him much. He was really only used to the other kids at the orphanage and his new family. He stopped with the rest of the group. The sorting would begin when the first name was called and an old hat set on their head. Wait, were they going to use his old last name or his new one. He would have to see. “Nicodemus Lovette” Oh that's him! they went with his new one. He finally went up to the stool and sat on the seat. ‘I know I'm kinda weird and you're likely tired of all this sorting but is there a good house for weird? That would be a good place for me right?’ He thought hoping the hat could hear it.
CURIOUS Nico loves to know how and why things are and work. He likes to ask questions and find answers, he takes joy in new knowledge and information BRILLIANT He is very smart he does well in math and has general knowledge a few years ahead of his age. CREATIVE He likes to come up with new ideas and make them work. Sometimes he even tries to make things better than they were before. POSSESSIVE When something is his and he likes it, and others also want it, even just to share, he says no. Someone might break it. HARD-WORKING he wants to make sure things are done properly and is willing to put that effort and drive into getting a task done SOCIALLY- AWKWARD he doesn’t socialize much so when he does it makes him nervous that he’ll screw something up. So usually he will avoid starting a conversation
You know that sometimes, it feels like It's all moving way too fast Use every alibi and words you deny That love ain't meant to last You can cry tough baby, it's all right You can let me down easy, but not tonight
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Oh, my dear boy! There's plenty of room for weird in all the houses. But, for you, I think there's just one place Yes, you're well-suited for Ravenclaw!

Things aren't easy So just believe me now If you can keep it cool now And never make a sound.
Shui was quite nervous. The whole ride up and also the whole walk up. He had forgotten to ask what the sorting was in the excitement of it all. He had been so interested in other things he forgot to have the foresight to ask what was in store. He followed the teacher in the Great Hall. He was amazed by everything. The ceiling and floating candles were just some of the things that caught his eye. The group stopped near the front and he looked around other students to see why they stopped here. He saw an old hat on a stool. Did they have to wear that? He watched the first one go up and have it put on their head. Oh it talked! That was cool. His name wasn't too crazy far down the list. ”Shui Quan” was said by the teacher escort. Happy she seemed to get it right, he approached the stool all too aware the whole school was watching. ‘Please make it quick….I don't like people staring at me.’He thought unaware the hat could hear him.
SMART Shui is an intelligent lad. He has good grades on his report cards and is good with finding different ways to solve something. He usually the first to finish an assignment. SHY Shui is not good with crowds. He is nervous meeting people but can still socialize well. Once he has a friend he completely at ease with them. GIVING Shui prefers to share. He hate to see others go without and would even offer up his own food to ensure other can eat too. He gladly shares things and doesn’t complain if he loses them MEEK Shui is soft spoken and non intimidating. He avoids conflict and typically won't stand up for himself. His rare moments of bravery are to protect someone else.Though the bravery is easily broken CREATIVE Shui loves to create new things and see others happy because of his creations. He enjoys the fun of making something pretty. He has even been able to make old family recipes that much better. DILIGENT Shui makes plans and methods and sticks to them. Give him a deadline and he can do it. On time is late and early is on time. If he's late to anything he get depressed about it.
All the lights will guide the way If you get to hear me now All the fears will fade away If you get to hear me now
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Not to worry, child, I'll make this quick Let's see... Quite a clever lad, hm? But kind, with a good heart... I think you'll do best in Hufflepuff!

☣☢☠Heath enjoyed the boat trip across the lake and stayed in the boat (if he dipped a few fingers or a whole hand in the lake who's to know) and followed the deputy headmistress (fancy name) to the great hall where they were paraded in front of a bunch of people and told to put a hat on their head to be sorted. He was totally gonna get his dads for this. Totally. Also he was gonna write about this to Silas because c'mon, petty teenage angst aside, he'd get a good laugh out of this for sure. He didn't have to wait too long, the glory of having a last name early in the alphabet he guesses, before he went up to the stool. He wondered if that hat could tell or not if kids were gonna be difficult and like, lowkey tell the headmaster. Because he'd remembered one of his primary teachers saying they needed technology like that. "I promise not to be difficult Mr. Hat if you don't put me in the house with the silly name." Heath offered quietly.
■ CONFIDANT"Can't" is nowhere in Heath's vocabulary, especially if the word "I" is in front of it. He never once thinks he's going to fail at a task he's appointed to himself and if down the road he happens to fail he refuses to see it as a failure but more of a setback. ■ PROTECTIVEDue to being the main caregiver of his younger brother before ending up in the orphanage, Heath has developed protective instincts over those he sees as smaller or weaker than him. He doesn't exactly realize he's not much bigger so generally just takes the brunt of whatever was happening. ■ DEDICATEDHeath doesn't lose focus very easily, once he has his sights on something he strives to not just maintain it but see it to the very end. This can also extend to people; he doesn't trust very easily but those who do have it have gained an unwavering support. No matter what you ask he'll try to see it through, even if its one of those babyish shows or games his younger siblings like. ■ DIZZYINGThis can be either physically or mentally. He really likes heights and he especially loves swinging around in high places or just swinging around in general. He's also such a whirlwind of energy that he occasionally burns out those who happen to just be hanging around him. ■ RECKLESSHe's been aptly nicknamed the daredevil (orjustdevildependingontheday) by his family because of his rather ill-thought out stunts. Like attempting to bungee jump from the top of the garden shed with a rope he just braided together out of an extra long vine he found. Or seeing if he could trapeze walk across the pool on pool floaties even though he can only swim up to four feet. As such he keeps his older brother and both his father's on their toes with his death-defying stunts. ■ LAID-BACKDespite how driven he is to accomplish his next hair-brained scheme, he doesn't have much focus when it comes to actual life. Or that he just doesn't care. As long as he can wake up in his right state of mind with only minimal bruises from the day before, he's golden. Sometimes he doesn't even need the mind part.

(Muggleborn ￭ Unsorted First Year ￭ Self-Proclaimed Mature Preteen)↫xx
Mina already knew about the Sorting Feast and as much as her face wasn't showing it, she was honestly excited to know where she would end up. She was walking to the Great Hall smiling, looking at the crowd with bright green eyes and a straight posture. Hah, there was nothing to worry about here! Her parents will be proud regardless of the house she was sorted to. Though she knew that dad Angelo would be glad if she was a Slytherin, while her papa Dimitri would feel the same if she were Hufflepuff. As she sat down the stool with the hat set on her head, Mina wondered if the hat had anything to say about her. Her papa had always told her that the hat can be really opinionated; she likes opinionated people in general.
▶ SELF-MOTIVATED — She believes in bargaining in a way the people should have something in return for their effort, and most things have a price. So if you ask for her help, you better know what you can give. She will always ask about what she will have in return before considering doing favors. Mina wants her credit to be recognized and she expects that she to be rewarded with anything good for her effort. She follows this philosophy and also shows her gratitude to people who does her favors. But if you're not her friend and didn't get anything good in return, boy, don't you expect her to help in a heartbeat. Asking help from her is like having a deal with a witch.
▶ EGOTISTICAL — Mina puts importance to herself before people. In default, you can always see that she will always respect herself that she left no room for self-deprecation or self-pity. Thus, she is one to pretty herself up as a way of self-care and wanted to look good to feel good. It does make her an attention seeker though, and would have the tendency to steal someone's thunder. But hey, she does admire people who- instead of accepting this- took her as a challenge instead. Granted she never liked sycophants nor wallflowers, and would prefer to hang out with someone who has the nerve to keep up with her.
▶ UPTIGHT — Mina is really the type to insist that things should be done by the book. She's not a fan of plans suddenly being in shift, feeling slighted when someone tries to tell a new change of plans to her in the last minute. She is also way mature for her age to the point that she gets impatient and bossy over people much younger than her. This made Mina come off as being haughty and a off-putting to some people.
▶ OPINIONATED — Mina seemed to like expressing what she has in mind, and one can expect her to make a comment on every situation. Good or bad. On one hand, it made her not care about getting in an argument especially when it should be worth it. On the other hand, Mina is no stranger to getting into arguments, especially with the people at her old school. She doesn't like sugarcoating about it either and it cements the fact that she is not really going to get along with the faint of heart.
▶ COMPOSED — It's hard for Mina to be high-strung nor it is hard for her to burst into metaphorical flames. She'd sees herself as a quiet and level-headed person, even if deep inside she can be exasperated by bullies or idiots. From what she learned from the kids she hang out with in the orphanage, throwing a fit and tantrum is just another way to say that you cannot solve the situation. It also makes her lack tolerance towards high-strung people.
▶ RESPECTFUL — Mina, for all her vanity, always finds respect to people who deserve it. She likes it if people challenge her, she likes watching people do their best, even if Mina thinks that she's still better. Mina has the moral compass to never degrade people nor bully them, because if she did it was like insulting herself. Depending on the person she's talking, Mina likes to give them a push... by declaring rivalry.

Varus held his breath. This had been what his parents had told him so many stories about. He never thought the Great Hall would be as big as this; he believed his parents had only exaggerated in order to make it more exciting than it actually was. He looked around quietly, studying the school. His new... home. The chatters around him made him conscious of himself. No doubt the other first years already had friends. But Varus didn't mind. He was not the one to make friends quickly anyway. There was, however, the rising panic from the anxiety of remembering that he was surrounded by so many strangers. He swallowed the fear as he looked at the others getting sorted. Which house he went to didn't really matter to him. The hat was the one choosing now, and Varus was sure that he has little say to it. Ravenclaw would be nice, though. But, he was sure that whichever house it was, he'd be okay just as long as it's the most peaceful house possible. Besides, he was invisible enough to not matter anyway.
When his name was called, Varus flinched. He went over and sat on the stool carefully. Don't look at anyone, Varus. Imagine their heads are books. Books for heads. Breathe.
INDECISIVE Varus has a way to constantly weigh options, even after making the decision. He'll often regret it if anything goes wrong, or wait for something to go wrong when it was the right choice. CAUTIOUS Something going terribly wrong is one of the things Varus likes to avoid as much as possible. Pairing up with his indecisiveness to prevent worst possible outcomes, his cautiousness dominates most of his personality. RECLUSIVE Meeting new friends was never his forte, as his prudent nature passes off as annoying, as what he started believing after his brother said it to him. Varus ends up isolating himself to not bother other people. PRIVATE Varus was never the type to blurt out everything about it. He looks at his thoughts and history as a confidential matter. During first meetings, he'll share what he thinks is only necessary and keeps it at that. This causes his relationships to be at arm's length. STUDIOUS Varus turned to books and facts to compensate for the evident lack of his social life. He'd prefer to be stuck in a library or by his bed, surrounded by books, rather than going out. Supporting his decisions with facts give him relief, since it lessens the percentage of anything going wrong when it's been documented and proven already. INVISIBLE Barely socializing and keeping mostly to himself, Varus tends to end up being invisible to most crowds. He rarely talks, and if he does, it's mostly to himself. Since social interaction is kept to a minimum, he becomes easily unnoticeable. Though it pains him a bit, he thinks this is the best for him. ORGANIZED The constant need for things to be set right where they're needed is a critical thing for Varus. He needs order as a way to reassure himself of the state of things.

Location : Outside Great Hall → Great Hall - Sorting (2041 Sorting)
Chelsea wasn’t about to let Sabrina ruin her enjoyment of what would be a unique experience to her. She was the only one in her family to be a witch. Though it didn’t always sit with her and she feared being seen differently but her family, it was her journey. She had Philip now meaning she wasn’t alone. Looking up at the ceiling Chelsea was curious by it. She wanted to know how it wasn’t there. Or was it there and it just looked like it wasn’t? Curious indeed.
Upon hearing her name, Chelsea looked from the crowd of people to the deputy headmistress and the hat. Taking a breath, she walked up to the stool and took a seat. Awaiting the hat to be placed on her head, she wondered what it was like (to be sorted). ‘So, you’re a magic hat. That’s curious.’ She thought almost speaking the words aloud. Part of her felt silly talking to a hat. But, was it really just a hat? She thought not.

■ DAUNTLESSI am fearless! Okay, I like to pretend I’m fearless. The truth is I can be brave and daring but even I have my fears. I just don’t let my fears get in the way of what I want or have to do. I’ll do the hard things. Things others would consider a crazy risk. I’ve got determination not only for the things I want but for others. I’ll fight for what’s right if I have too. What can I say? I’ve got guts. ■ VENTURESOMELike I said I’m willing to take risks, sometimes even crazy ones. I’m not afraid to take big risks to get things done, especially if it might help someone. I can sometimes make rash decisions. Granted I’m not about to go do something as stupid as get myself killed or anything. A little adventure never killed anyone. I try to think things through before I do it but sometimes it’s better to just go for it and deal with the coincidences later. ■ STUBBORNI’m by far the most stubborn person I know. My parents say I can be difficult. I just call it headstrong. I stick to what I want to happen and I’ll spend every waking moment trying to make it happen. I believe what I believe and I never waver from that. There have been times I’ve found myself unsure, but that’s what friends are for. To help you find your footing and to figure out the tough things. ■ PROTECTIVEIf you haven’t noticed I not just talk about myself. I have family and friends I care about (some more distant then others). Regardless I’ve got a protective side. I’d put myself on the line if it means protecting a friend or family member. I’m not the type to leave anyone behind. I’ll defend anyone in need if they truly deserve it. ■ PERCEPTIVEWith that said, I’m pretty good at figuring out when someone is lying to me. I’m not a mind reader or anything but I’m good at figuring people out. I quick to notice things that are off, I practically seek it out. I can tell when someone is bothered by something or hurt. Sure if I don’t know a person well enough, it takes me a bit pick things up. The better I know you the easier it is for me to pick up things. Makes sense I think. I’m just very observant when it comes to figure out people, and not just people but things too. I’m pretty good at finding things and noticing when things are different. I’m your regular detective. ■ CANDIDThe last thing you need to know about me is I tell it like it is. I like to be straightforward and truthful about things. I prefer honesty over sugar coating the truth. Sure I’m not going to downright throw the bad news out there and leave you to mull it over. I’m delicate about bad things. Now if you’re being stupid I’ll call you out on being just that. Call it being direct but I’m generally sincere with what I have to say.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... It is rather curious, isn't it? I must say, you seem to be taking this all in stride That in mind, I think you're well suited for Gryffindor!

As she walked up towards the stool to be sorted, Ha-Yun knew that her brother had been so wrong. This wasn't scary in the slightest. It was exciting. She wondered if she would be sorted into the same house as Jin...probably not. The girl knew that they were like fire and ice, complete opposites. "Hey, hat. How many people have you sorted before? Does it ever get boring just sorting people all the time?" she questioned right as the hat was placed atop her head. She was mildly curious, who wouldn't be. It was interesting to her. Might as well ask while she had the chance. "Can you sort things besides people? Like if I brought my Owl, to you could you sort him into a house as well?"

TRAIT Blunt Ha-Yun doesn’t mince words and tells things like it is, which has gotten her (and her brother) into more trouble than her family would like. TRAIT Stubborn Ha-Yun doesn’t like letting things get in her way. She wants to further herself so she will do whatever she needs to so that she can progress. TRAIT Inquisitive She likes figuring things out, especially things that she doesn’t understand. This tends to get her into trouble when combined with her naturally blunt personality. TRAIT Brave Ha-Yun isn’t one to shy away from things that would scare other people. She loves the rush she gets from doing exciting things, especially if it seems like it could be dangerous. TRAIT Instigator Ha-Yun likes pushing people outside of their comfort zones to see what she can get away with. TRAIT Loyal Ha-Yun is almost the definition of ride or die. If you’re in her friend group you can bet that she will do everything in her power to protect you.

Okay, Sam will have to admit: the castle was kind of cool. Floating candles, starry-night ceiling, and people wearing regal robes? Yep, straight from the fantasy movie setting. You know what? Maybe Sam will grow onto this. Maybe the Wizarding World was just as promising as the Muggle world. Edgar had told him that there was a sport that involved flying broomsticks and come on, what kind of wizard setting didn't have those anyway? With enough time, Sam was sure that he'll come to enjoy this school, even if he'll miss playing his laptop or his gadgets.
Or well, maybe not, since apparently they're going to be sorted using a hat. As his name was called, Sam was just staring at it with disbelief. A hat, seriously? Their way of getting to know their dorm-mates was all set to a hat who didn't know a thing about them? Okay, now he understood why some people here were so nervous about it. He sat down, looking at the Headmistress with utter concern as she put the hat on his head. Sam recalled the fours houses, one them being called a "bad egg" house. Which left him wonder: Is this going to be another case of judging the book by its cover? Again? Wow, that never got old. He cannot wait to get sorted to some "Bad Egg" house just because he was mistaken for an anti-social brooder. When in reality, for him, brooders and cynics were for losers: Optimism all the way.
▶ PRIVATE — Samuli is an introvert and finds socializing exhausting that he would prefer it if people leave him on his own devices. While he doesn't push people away out of being thoughtful, don't expect him to be the one engaging the conversation. Instead, he lets people decide if they want to talk to him or not unless it was absolutely necessary. Samuli is also hard to read and has no desire nor interest to talk about himself,
▶ DOMINEERING — His mother led a good example that if people think you're hard to approach, you might as well use it as a weapon against others who deserve it. People his age think of him as someone who is intimidating, and the reason Samuli doesn't do anything about it is because he takes advantage of it. Yes, he can smile, but he always makes sure that people know that he is not someone to get on his bad side because he's one to be secretly vindictive in hopes of giving the offender a handmade karma. Of course, it does give him a hard time making friends especially when they're shallow enough to judge a book by its cover.
▶ INTELLIGENT — Samuli isn't the all-bookworm kind of guy, but he sure did know how to use his brain. It seemed to be a shared trait among the Farquarson family, as Samuli finds it easy to pick up the pace quickly. But more specifically, he's image-minded and likes to picture his plans and ideas as if he is presenting a powerpoint. With this kind of intelligence, Samuli can figure out how to get away from sticky situations as he's really quick to pick a mood.
▶ DRIVEN — He's always driven and always wanting to take goals, be that small or big. He is ambitious in a way that while he still dreams big, he was thought that success can be achieved by starting small and things will get bigger as time goes by. Samuli wants to feel a sense of achievement and if given the chance he might as well use some wits to get what he wants. He is also competitive and Samuli genuinely respecting the competitor's skills won't stop him from wanting to compete as Samuli has learned that even the best-of-the-best aren't invincible. And even if he loses, it just motivates him more instead of beating himself up.
▶ THOUGHTFUL — As much as he hasn't done anything to not look intimidating, Samuli cares for his close ones as much as he cares for himself, doing his best to consider their shoes. He doesn't show it that much but Sam knows better than shoving people away from him. He tries to consider that hey, maybe people aren't as one-dimensional as people made it out to be. Samuli isn't one to be intentionally harsh on someone who is in distress even if he's not that great in comforting people. But hey, it's the thought that counts. Unfortunately, people weren't quick to be able to see this side of him... and he sometimes resented this kind of treatment.
▶ OPTIMISTIC — Due to his quiet and domineering impression, people are quick to assume that Samuli is misanthropic and therefore, cynical. However this is never the case: Samuli actually holds on his glass half-full view as much as he can. It is hard to break him from this view and believes in the whole "I do not fail, just found 10,000 ways that won't work" and reasons that ambition is always achieved by believing oneself. However, It does make him stubborn and has a hard time letting long-term problems go due to his self-assurance.

The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Rumors of a "bad egg" house have been greatly exaggerated, child And let me just say I'm hardly making shallow judgements, I'm reading the book quite thoroughly, I assure you For all the snark, I do believe you've got quite a mind, so for you it'll be Ravenclaw!
Sabrina Lorraine Richardson First Year Unsorted Pure Blood❤Young Lady
Location : Great Hall - Sorting (2041 Sorting)
Sabrina wasn’t sure what exactly just happened with her future classmate. Her sister told her she didn’t need to be all perfect, but she wasn’t so sure. Now she was beginning to think it was going to cause more harm then good. The sorting was nerve racking as is. She didn’t need anything else on top of it. Durant didn’t appear to be a name of importance as far as what her mother had drilled into her head. Perhaps Chelsea wasn’t someone she should have spoken too. Sabrina didn’t know what to think. It was all too much right now.
Waiting for her name to be called, Sabrina felt like she was going to pass out. What if she didn’t make friends? What if everyone hated her? What if she was just like her mother? Or not at all leaving her mother’s wrath upon her? What was she going to do…? Sabrina pushed all the swirling thoughts aside the moment her name was called. The young girl looked to her sister at the Slytherin table before walking up to the stool.
Sitting down slowly, Sabrina closed her eyes. “I can’t be like my mother… I can’t be in Slytherin…” She muttered under her breath. ‘But, if I’m not… mother will never let me live it down…’ She thought to herself. Merlin why was she so nervous? Why couldn’t she just relax and enjoy the experience? ‘Please let this be over soon…’ She pleaded. Sabrina just wanted to be in a good place where she could meet good people. Would that even be possible?

■ DIGNIFIEDThanks to my mother, I know how to be proper. I stand up straight and I act like the young lady I’m supposed to be. I usually appear rather serious as I’m not a little kid anymore. That’s what mother says. So I have to act with the dignity and pride that a pureblood women should. Sometimes that means I appear to hold myself to a higher standard, that I’m better then some. That’s not the case but it’s what mother wants. I don’t get it all the time. I understand being self-controlled and polite but being perfect the way she wants, I just don’t see it. I’m not perfect and I’m certainly not everything my mother wants me to be. ■ COMPASSIONATEI’m the caring type. A trait my mother doesn’t see as value. In fact she sees it as a hindrance and a rather large weakness of mine. My father doesn’t believe so. He says it’s the best quality one can have. See I have a big heart. I care about everyone, even those lesser then myself. I have sympathy for others and I’ll try to help if given the chance. ■ STUBBORNI can be stubborn although not always. When not in the presences of my mother I can have quite the attitude. I’ll fight for what I believe and can be difficult with things I don’t. I can be rather persistent with things I want to achieve. However, I don’t normally get what I want. I might hold a grudge over it something for a while, but eventually I’ll move past it. It just takes time. ■ SPINELESSLike I said I’m not always stubborn. When in the presence of my mother I can be quite the opposite. I do as I’m told and I don’t stand up for myself. I end up being quite spineless and revert to a small child. Lacking any actual backbone in her presence I wish I could just get away from her and then I don’t have to be so weak… ■ RESILIENTDespite my lack of a backbone and things not working out for me, I’m pretty quick to bounce back. My mother can be the biggest torment on me. She pushes me every day to be everything she wants me to be. When I don’t do something right (which is like all the time) she pushes me even harder, giving me lecture after lecture. No, matter how hard I try she’ll verbally tell me what I’m doing wrong, always pointing out my flaws. Though, I always get past all the things she says and does. Whatever life throws at me I can push back. ■ POLITELike I mentioned before, I was taught to act a certain way and therefor I am polite. I watch what I say and I act the way I should. I’m for the most part well-mannered (even when I’m being stubborn) and I try to be civil. I use my words instead of lashing out in other ways. Though, sometimes I can speak my mind. If you aren't going to be civil to me I'm not going to be civil to you. ■ SASSYEven though I’m polite and don’t have much of a backbone when it comes to my mother, I can have a bit of sass. Usually it shines through when I’m irritated and I decide to speak my mind. In those cases I tend to say things in an impertinent way, which is to say a not so respectful way. Despite it being a tad rude on my part I still try to make it come off nicely. Consider it a good choice of words. During my sassy moments I can be occasional quite quick-witted. If only I could be like that all the time.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Hm, you've an interesting mind, no doubt I wouldn't worry so much what your mother might think You'll blossom far better if you don't With that in mind, I think you'll grow quite nicely in Gryffindor!

Abby stared at the wrinkled old hat in complete confusion until it was placed onto the first student's head and after a few moments called out their house. She'd seen a lot of weird things since being officially introduced into the magical world, but a talking hat had to top the list. At least it seemed friendly, and all she had to do was sit there. Still, she waited nervously, only having a limited understanding of the houses- she knew Kenny had been in Slytherin, and Jojo in Hufflepuff- and wondering desperately which one best suit her. When her name was called she walked up to the professor and the hat with as much confidence as she could muster, hoping this was over with quickly.
OOC:
CARELESS xxx»» Abby is a rather messy person in general; she frequently leaves her things lying about, couldn't keep a room tidy if you paid her a million pounds, and often forgets where she left things or spends ages looking for some scrap of paper or book she's lost. She's also quite careless in personality; she can be very impulsive and reckless, and tends to not think things through or consider repercussions. Abby is used to 'skating by' on life, and would much rather have a good time and not worry then overthink things or stress about the future.
KIND xxx»» Abby is very kind; she's not always terribly polite or considerate, but she won't hesitate to help someone in need or offer her support to a friend who's feeling down. She does genuinely care about others, she just isn't always sure how to show it, and not being very emotional, it can often seem like she's a bit apathetic, when in fact she's just trying to put on a strong front. In general, Abby is a sweet girl with good intentions, although they can get a bit... muddled.
PRACTICAL xxx»» Abby is practical almost to a fault; someone's leg could have just gotten chopped off and while everyone else was screaming or retching, she'd be going 'I'm guessing I should get some towels, huh?'. Abby doesn't consider herself a very clever person- although she's clearly not an idiot- but she has more sense than she's usually given credit for, given her very laid-back attitude, and you can always count on her in a pinch to pull her weight.
BOISTEROUS xxx»» Abby is not a particularly obnoxious or irritating person, but she does have a lot of energy and tends to make a lot of noise... wherever she goes. She has a lot of energy, even if she's not very high-strung, and really isn't one for sitting around. Her general mood in school was that of 'I can't wait to get out of here' and she's terrible at putting on a serious face, especially since so many things amuse her.
OBLIVIOUS xxx»» Abby is not the most perceptive or aware person, and while not overly idealistic or innocent, does tend to catch onto things a bit late. This causes some to assume she's rather ditzy and shallow, but in reality she's just a bit slow on the uptake, and takes a while to process information. She's also absolutely terrible at reading a room and frequently blunders her way into situations because of it. Luckily, she usually manages to worm her way out of trouble, or at least play dumb so as not to arouse further ire.
INSECURE xxx»» Abby is good at putting on a lackadaisical, confident mask, but in reality has many deep-rooted anxieties and fears about herself as a person. She wishes she were smarter, harder working, more ambitious... She tends to blame herself for many things, although she would never voice any of it aloud, and often doubts that she is up to the tasks before her, leading her to procrastinate or push them off.
Being glad, breathing appetite Heart's on fire, leaving all behind Dark as night, let the lightning guide you Step outside, gonna step outside, I'm gonna step outside Broke tooth one day, something's not the same Blank head, that guy sweep the floor
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Ah, dear child, not to worry You'll catch on rather quick, I imagine As for where you'll go, I think for you it's Hufflepuff!
And you once said, "I wish you dead, you sinner" I'll never be more than a wolf at your door for dinner And if I see you 'round like a ghost in my town, you liar I'll leave with your head, oh, I'll leave you for dead, sire And you once said, "I wish you dead, you sinner" I'll never be more than a wolf at your door for dinner
𝙇𝘼𝙄𝙍𝙀 𝙑𝙄𝙊𝙇𝙀𝙏 𝙏𝙃𝙊𝙍𝘽𝙐𝙍𝙉 HALFBLOOD │ FIRST YEAR │ UNSORTED
Laire impatiently awaited her chance to be sorted, wishing her surname was at the beginning of the alphabet, rather than the end. She just wanted to get it over with already, since it seemed like she'd be obsessing over her house for ages now. Obviously it wouldn't be the end of the world if she wasn't in Gryffindor, and her family didn't care, but she didn't like waiting with bated breath to find out. This was why she hated surprises. When she finally heard her name, she hurried up, ignoring the anxious twist in her gut. The hat knew where to put her, after all.
OOC:
SPIRITED xxx»» Laire is a quick tempered, energetic, passionate person. She is used to saying what she likes, when she likes, much to the exasperation of her family and friends. She enjoys being bold and/or inappropriate, and has little regard for manners or social convention. If she thinks someone is an idiot, she'll tell them, and if she thinks someone is in need of defending, she'll jump in on their behalf. Laire is quite talkative when in a good mood, and always willing to launch herself into an impassioned rant.
RESOLUTE xxx»» Laire is both determined and strong-willed. Once she makes up her mind it's very difficult to change it, and she rarely wavers from the course she's set out upon. Laire believes people should stick to their own ideals and morals, and looks poorly upon those who don't follow any set code of principles. She is very persistent and difficult to ignore once she decides to do or say something. Laire looks out for those she considers friends and sticks by their sides.
SPITEFUL xxx»» Laire can be very spiteful and vindictive when upset or aggravated. A big believer in an eye for an eye, she is terrible at resolving conflict and almost always makes fights worse with her attitude, never considering that she isn't helping matters by sinking to their level. While never nasty for no reason, she can take things too seriously and overreact to snide comments or one-off snubs. She enjoys feeling like she has triumphed over someone else, even if it didn't fix anything.
FEARLESS xxx»» Laire is a very brave and bold person, with little regard for her own safety or what others think of her. She never looks before she leaps, which sometimes has consequences. She enjoys shocking others by her refusal to back down or be cowed. Laire is not easily intimidated and enjoys rising to the challenge. She is always willing to fight for the underdog and likes raising hell, especially in the face of authority.
PRIVATE xxx»» Laire is a very private person when it comes to herself, even though she is fairly outgoing with new people and always willing to talk. She prefers to keep a lot of things to herself and is not at all interested in discussing her personal feelings, especially when they are ones she is embarrassed by, such as a crush or feeling awkward. While more extroverted than much of her family, she only really opens up to the people she is closest to, and will grey rock people who pry too much.
WILY xxx»» Laire wouldn't consider herself deceitful or dishonest, but she sees nothing wrong with some white lies, and isn't afraid to fight dirty or underhanded in say, a duel or a debate. Laire loves the rush she gets from winning at something, and can be very shrewd and cunning when the situation calls for it. She wouldn't stab someone in the back, but she might give them a little push. She enjoys thinking creatively to get out of tight binds.
And if I see you 'round like a ghost in my town, you liar I'll leave with your head, oh, I'll leave you for dead, sire You were sharp as a knife to get me You were a wolf in the night to fetch me back The wishes I've made are too vicious to tell Everyone knows I am going to hell…
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... I do like the confidence, my dear Anxiety doesn't seem to be getting you down Hm, yes, I think you're destined for Gryffindor!

Shannon carefully made his way up to the stool, flashing a small smile to the Professor who had called his name before he took a seat. He was pretty curious about where he would end up, after all Andy had been in Slytherin but both their mother and father had been in Ravenclaw. So he wondered if he would follow the family trend. He didn't bother wasting words as he patiently waited for the hat to reveal his fate....hmm that was a bit dramatic, at least the fate of where he will be for the next seven years. A part of him thought about which house Brigid would be placed into, well he would never know now.
But you need to lower your standards 'Cause it's never Getting any better than this
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ 「OOC」 Speak here ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
TRAIT Compassionate Despite the training that Shannon was raised in, he does have a rather big heart. He likes seeing people he cares about happy, which is why his sister’s sudden mood switch around him hurts him so much. TRAIT Organized Shannon likes to keep things neat, not liking when even the slightest thing can be out of place. He keeps his room and belongings in a strict order to avoid disorganization. TRAIT Amiable Unlike his sister Andraste, Shannon has no trouble talking to people. In fact he enjoys conversing with others, he likes seeing into their minds and figuring out how they work. He enjoys understanding people. TRAIT Curious Shannon enjoys analyzing different aspects of life, be it people or his studies. Shannon wants to understand, because if he can understand he can hold some semblance of control. Or at least that is how he feels. TRAIT Mature Because of his family training and the death of his elder twin, Shannon has grown up a bit faster than most children his age. He is calmer and more docile than most would think a young boy would be. TRAIT Perceptive Because of his fondness for learning about others, he tends to notice small little ticks in body language. It’s also part of the training he had been given as a child, this does also help with his fencing.
Oh my darling, we have fallen Stuck at the crossroads, skull and cross bones Sinking down now, down to the bottom All in the same boat, where only God knows Everyone around us holds on to the promise Can you hear the sound? I almost hear it, now.

Lena stood day-dreaming as the Sorting went on, knowing she would be among the last called, and not particularly caring, although she was pretty hungry. As far as houses went, she didn't really want to be in Slytherin with Treva, who'd always ignored her at best and teased her at worst, or in Gryffindor with Madoc, who'd once pushed her down the front steps (by 'accident', according to their mother). She didn't think she'd mind Ravenclaw like Di or Hufflepuff like Mam. So long as she could make some friends and fit in, what did it matter? It was just a different common room and house colors. When her name was called, she was remarkably calm, compared to some of her classmates.
OOC:
NAIVE xxx»» Lena tends to come across a bit younger than she really is, mostly due to her naive and somewhat trusting nature. She's eager to please and be accepted by others, which makes her ripe for being manipulated or misled. Lena tends to believe the best in everyone until proven otherwise, and often doesn't grasp the gravity of situations right away. While she usually means well, this oblivious attitude can do more harm than good.
PERKY xxx»» Lena is a very positive person. While not high strung or obnoxious in her cheer, she does usually seem to be in a good mood and up for just about everything. She's very rarely reserved or moody, and she tends to look on the bright side of life. She'd much rather enjoy things in the moment than waste her life complaining or being angry about things she has no control over. This attitude is aggressively used against the negative or irritable people in her life.
DRAMATIC xxx»» Lena is a very effusive and dramatic person with a flair for exaggeration and overreacting. She loves telling stories and long-winded jokes, and she has a very hard time keeping a straight face. In terms of emotions, Lena is an open book who is very easy to read and predict. Whatever the opposite of stoic is, she is. She has no qualms about expressing how she feels, regardless of the company she is in. Lena's not a very quiet or reserved person, which can be off-putting to some.
CARING xxx»» Lena is a very caring and helpful person who genuinely wants to make sure everyone around her is happy. Growing up as a middle child, she was used to having to play peacemaker or to calm everyone down. Lena enjoys feeling needed and being around other people, and is always willing to talk with someone about their feelings. While she can sometimes say things without thinking them through, her intentions are usually pure.
QUICK-THINKING xxx»» Lena is a very witty and quick witted person who always has a comeback. While she's not very sarcastic, she does have her moments, and she likes to squabble and bicker as much as anyone else. Debate is one of her favorite activities, and she enjoys showing off her talent with words. Fast-talking and fast-thinking, she doesn't win every argument but she certainly enjoys most of them. Lena is not a very book smart person, but she does have a way with words and is good at convincing people of her side.
LOYAL xxx»» Lena is an incredibly loyal person. Even if she is fighting with or disagrees with her friends or family, she would never say a bad word against them or distance herself. Lena strongly believes in sticking with the people she loves, regardless of any personal issues. While this makes her a devoted friend, she finds it very hard to let go of a dissolving friendship or relationship and often doesn't realize when people are hurting her before it's too late.
The world exploding, the final moment, it’s Life and death, we won’t rest Til we’re dust and bones The clock keeps turning, the world keeps burning It’s life and death, we won’t rest, Til we’re dust and bones
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Ah, my dear girl, I know just what to do with you! Hufflepuff!
