Darian spent the boat ride talking with her sisters and wondering what school was going to be like. It wasn't until after they were led to the Great Hall and directed to the Sorting that she felt truly nervous. She looked first from her sisters to the hat and then stood stock still when her name was called first of the three triplets. Straightening her back, she made her way forward, head held high as she approached. Sitting down, she felt the hat descend as her eyesight was obscured."Okay hat, you know where to put me. Go ahead and do your work."She was sure she knew where she was going, and she wasn't about to let nerves get the better of her.
Quote:
■ ADVENTUROUSDarian is not a girl that likes to sit about and be idle. She loves to explore and get out there to see and experience new things. She is just as at home exploring the woods or wading the streams looking for things as she is in the gardens and such with her sisters. ■ ACTIVEDarian is also quite active. She can't sit down and do more leisurely pursuits, instead loving to climb, run, and do many things that her parents deem 'unladylike' behaviour. This has caused her parents no end of consternation for their youngest daughter, as they haven't been successful in reigning her in as much as they want. ■ INTELLIGENTDarian is also fairly intelligent. She picks up new ideas quickly and adapts them to suit her needs when she encounters them, and often doesn't need to be shown twice how to do things. This has come in handy with her interactions with muggles, as she constantly finds out new things about them the more she is around them. ■ MANIPULATIVEDarian can also be described as manipulative, as she has, for the most part, succeeded in fooling her parents into believing that she isn't as active with muggles as her activities would otherwise suggest. She is very good at also persuading her parents that she is for the most innocent, and this is helped by being the youngest daughter they have. ■ IMAGINATIVEDarian also has quite the imagination. She often makes it her goal to invent new adventures for herself when she is out and about, and can come up with things to do while she's bored outside. The only time she has trouble is when she's cooped up in the house and isn't permitted to do what she wants to do. ■ OPEN-MINDEDDarian, unlike many in her forebears, is also extremely open-minded. She sees nothing wrong with muggles or those whose blood status is considered 'lesser' than her own, and in fact actively interacts with those types on a regular basis. She also is open to new ideas and ways of thinking, which is certainly different than what her parents wish or expect from her.

Glynn walked into the Great Hall, solemn eyes looking around and studying everything. It wasn't until he heard his name called that he glanced up. Frowning, he approached and sat on the stool before the hat descended. He bit his lip and then decided to think something to the hat."I'm pretty sure that you already know what's best, so I'll go ahead and let you make your decision on where to go."
Quote:
■ QUIETGlynn is a quiet child, rarely speaking unless spoken to. This comes from a lifetime of being distant from his family and an estrangement from his own mother. He tends to keep to himself in new situations until he feels comfortable, and will often only talk to people he knows rather than anyone new. ■ INTELLIGENTGlynn is rather intelligent, and often has an arsenal of information he has learned over the years from books. He also happens to be rather observant and watches what happens around him, believing that there is a treasure trove of information to be learned if someone pays attention. ■ HARDWORKINGGlynn works hard, often making sure he does it right instead of taking an easy route. He's prone to ignoring himself at times when he's devoted to a task, and can often forget to eat or sleep if he's too engrossed. ■ MATUREGlynn is rather mature for his age. He rarely acts like a child, and often speaks like he's years older than his age. This is a result of being raised in an older community without other people his own age, and he has a hard time associating with people in his age group as a result. He can, as a result, adopt a rather scolding tone if the people around him are acting foolish, and this further distances him from his peers. ■ FRIENDLYDespite his seeming demeanour, he's actually pretty friendly. Once out of his shell, he can strike up conversations easily enough, and has a desire to have friends his age. His only problem is his maturity level, which can lead to awkward situations as a result. ■ RESPONSIBLEGlynn is particularly responsible, wishing to make sure he takes responsibility for his actions, good or bad. He doesn't wish for others to be blamed for his mistakes, and will step forward and admit fault. He also takes things seriously and doesn't play around when the situation calls for it.

RichardIndigoDevereux First Year Unsorted Conditional Family Heir
Location : Great Hall
Richard was looking forward to his sorting. He wanted to know whether he was like the rest of his family. Like most whose families were sorted into a particular house, he was eager to know. However he didn’t care if it was written in stone. The sorting hat could place him among Gryffindor’s ranks and he still wouldn’t care. Though the rest of his family might, possibly not his own parents, but his grandparents really would care about the outcome of his sorting. Standing with Essie as they were brought into the great hall, Richard looked around. The table of green and silver stood out to him for obvious reasons. Though, he quickly turned his attention back to the front.
Richard didn’t have long for the last name Devereux to be called along with his first name. Walking up rather relaxed compared to most first years, he took a seat on the stool. ‘Go ahead hat place me wherever you feel works. My family might be made of Slytherins but I’m not afraid to be different.’ He thought as the hat was placed on his head.‘In fact, I’m sure I am…’ All Richard could do was wait for the answer he sought.
Personality
■ LAID-BACK I've never been one to care or worry about things. Generally not much gets to me although there are a few things... like my mother and my sister. Though I tend to keep my worries to myself, I don't need the world knowing about them. I'm the type that doesn't take things seriously. As such I've got no interest in becoming the family heir. Though that’s not to say I'm not ambitious. ■ RESOURCEFUL I can think my way out of just about anything. I'm quick on my toes despite not looking like it. My father says I'm a quick study. I only need to be shown how to do something once to figure it out myself. Perhaps I'm smarter then I like to let on... ■ GENUINE I prefer the truth over a lie. As such I try to be honest and truthful no matter what. I'm not afraid to speak the truth even if it might hurt someone. Though when saying something hurtful I try to be delicate about it. Despite being a genuine person at times I can come off a bit candid. ■ FORGIVING Along with my honesty I'm also forgiving. I'm the type to let bygones be bygones. Granted I will never forget. I'm more than willing to give someone a second chance if they truly deserve it. ■ VENTURESOME Despite being lazy at times I do like a challenge. Not to mention the occasional excitement of adventure. I'm not afraid to take risks but I'm not going to take any unnecessary risks. Adventure is fun but remaining in one piece is even better. Besides, if my parents ever found out I ended up in the hospital wing because I thought it was a good idea to go into the dark forest, they'd never let me live it down.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Not afraid to be different! Well isn't that refreshing! Your family may be Slytherin, but I think you'll find your way in... Gryffindor!

╔══════════════════════════╗ Mackenzie Hawthorne Unsorted - First Year - Eleven Years Old - Halfblood ╚══════════════════════════╝
When Mackenzie's name was called, she hurried to the sorting hat. The first year really hoped she'd get the same house as her mum and make her proud, but even if she didn't, she was sure she'd fit in. After all, students are placed in houses based on personalities, right? So, that pretty much guarantees she would fit in.
People say that, in a nutshell, I'm happy. I always wear a smile on my face, and I'm energetic and loud. I can never sit still for too long, literally or theoretically as I'm very impatient. I'm also an animal lover- especially dogs! Whenever I see one, I always run up to it and pet it, no matter how big or small it is. My mum thinks I'm gonna get attacked one day by a vicious dog, but it hasn't happened yet, so I really don't think it will. Dogs love me. Whenever I do something, I always try my hardest and do the best that I can, even if it doesn't always give me the best results. But I try, and that's something to be proud of! And I never cheat, no matter how badly I would do without cheating (whether that's in school or games). I am very accepting of others and like to make friends. I always put my friends first as I think their needs are more important than mine, which can sometimes lead me into situations where I'm vulnerable to having someone take advantage of me.

╔════════════════════════════╗ Oliver Davis Unsorted - First Year - Eleven Years Old - Pureblood ╚════════════════════════════╝
Oliver chewed on his lower lip as he made his way to the sorting hat. The boy managed not to be nervous his whole journey to Hogwarts, but somehow felt incredibly nervous now. Maybe it was because this was happening in front of the entire school -- students and teachers included. He didn't even really care what house he ended up being placed in.
People say that, in a nutshell, I'm witty and sarcastic. I can't help but make comments if one comes to mind, which they do often and quickly. I can come up with comebacks with the snap of my finger. Not literally. That's just a figure of speech meaning I can do it quickly. Sometimes, people think I have an attitude, but I can't help that I find the majority of people stupid and annoying. That's why when I do school work, I prefer to work alone. Other kids just slow me down and if I want good grades, I'd have to do all of the work. I guess you could say I'm intelligent. My mind sort of has this gift where it just picks up information. I only have to hear something once and I can remember it. Although I am not afraid to speak my mind, I tend to stay quiet a lot of the time. That is because I enjoy listening to other peoples' opinions. If they're smart, I learn something new. If they're idiots, I'll find that out and either argue with them or stay silent, but the latter only tends to happen if they're REALLY stupid. Ever heard the saying: "Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down and beat you with experience"? Well, spoiler alert, it's true.

Vitomir watched on as one by one the first year students came up to put on a raddy piece of leather with a mouth piece. Did they really expect him to put on the thing? It looked like a bad halloween decoration left in the rain and turned into a nest by some wild rodent. What's worse is that every one of the first years had to put the thing on. That seemed like a good way to spread lice and who knew what else. "I hope they at least wash the thing before each year." The boy muttered as he was called up. He fixed his tie and walked up to the stool, keeping himself calm and cool but just wanting to get this over with. He really didn't care what house he was in, after all he was Vitomir Nicoli. He'd make any group he was apart of better by association. "Alright you overgrown dog toy, tell me where I belong. I'm in no mood to have you covering me in your cobwebs and dust any longer than necessary. So let's make this snappy so I can eat and you can go back to the broom closet gathering mildew or whatever it is you do in your offtime."
People say that, in a nutshell, I'm wait you’re asking what others say about me? What do others know about anything. I’ll give you the facts. I’m an intelligent boy with big plans, I’m not the sort to pretend I’m some knight in shining armor. I’m only interested in money and power. I might have some good qualities but they are more inconveniences than anything else like my nasty habit of helping girls who can not help themselves. I guess I prefer enjoying getting into things that others say I should not, like when I set fire to one of my father’s rival’s warehouse. It was so worth being grounded for. I also enjoy making others mad, I’m told I have a dagger like tongue that gets under other’s skin. I rather not do anything myself, I mean I’m rich, I can hire people to do my dirty work for me but only things I can trust them with. If I think a job needs brainpower I do it myself. I don’t like getting into fights but when I do I prefer to fight dirty, using anything I have on me as a tool.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... You expect me to hurry because you throw insults at me?

Ivar entered the Hall with a lot ton of students along with him, looking at bit awestruck about the starry-lit ceiling of the Great Hall. This school won him so much as he loved everything that has something to do with space and stars and planets. Actually, Ivar had no idea which house will the hat sort him to as no one in his family actually told him about their thoughts about it, since his adoptive family were all from Durmstrang leaving Matteo the only one who was graduated from that school with the surname "Eide" on his name plate. It didn't really took at long for him to wait until his name was finally called upon, he gave the lady (Amata) a grin before hopping on a stool, with his legs swinging nervously. As much as he appreciated Ravenclaw, he kind of honestly prefer not to be there as it was his older brother's house along time ago. Well, there was nothing wrong about it, but Ivar really wanted to be sorted in something different, something that would make his school life dynamic like he wished to as well as something for him to cast his own shadow like he was always encouraged to. "Um... Hi, Sorting Hat..." He whispered, albeit a bit nervous, "I'm not sure if I could trust you about you putting me in a good house, even if... Well, you pretty much sorted my brother before..." Why was he being skeptical about this, especially to some old hat who sorted Matteo? He should have trusted the hat, but he just could not help but be skeptical about it and it was driving him nuts internally.
Quote:
●KIND -- He's both a lover and a fighter, Ivar is a kind-hearted one and was willing to help his friends. He knows when to listen and he's basically a shoulder to cry on, hence he was quite a bit reliable to some. However, he tends to be abit too kind, that to one point people could either abuse or take advantage of his kindness even though he doesn't want to be fooled around. As for the fighter part, specifically to his loved ones, he tends to be quite protective towards his loved ones and his older brother is one of them.
●DYNAMIC -- Ivar looks up to his brother who works as an auror and he saw it as a really brave thing to do but even with that, he wants to cast his own shadow rather than be under someone else's as he was actually encouraged to do so. He loves to see something great and likes to do something positively memorable while at the same time he, of course, isn't really being a troublemaker. He's also a dreamer, too-- He tends to dream big and would really like to do something big and challenging, hence it makes him determined and motivated to do things.
●HUMOROUS -- Ivar's humor has three types: it could be dry, witty, and puns if he actually has the effort to do so. He really likes to make his friends giggle and would say something that would hopefully be funny enough to make some people smirk. For the most part, he says or does something out of sheer curiosity of how would people react to it. However, he's not really the best joke-maker to some people, as his humor is at most corny and sometimes it's something people won't understand especially if it's wit humor.
●BROODING -- Even if he doesn't show it a lot, Ivar has some thoughts in his mind that he decided to keep it himself. Since his biological parents and his aunt died when at a very young age with his brother being the only family he has, he sometimes feel envy to some people who actually have real living parents, even though he already has his adoptive parents. As well as the incident in Hogsmeade where his brother Matteo lost a leg, he's becoming more worrisome and emotional over many things. He also tends to have the urge to be bitter to people around him when he's in a bad mood, so it's pretty much recommended if he doesn't have any enemies.
●SMART -- No matter how some serious kids would say that he's a wanker because of his jested nature, he's actually a smart person. It's no surprise though, since it runs in their family and he got it mainly from his brother himself. While he likes reading books and playing classical music with a violin, Ivar likes to research some fun stuff he really loved especially things that were funny, interesting, and mind-blowing. Of course, he's intelligent enough to know when to be serious or not, and he tends to answer things as if it's already obvious (But he does that mostly because he thinks it's funny).

When her name was called, Rey was one of the few students left who hadn't been sorted. She didn't know about the Sorting Hat before-hand; it was one of the surprises her parents mentioned she'd encounter (she refused to think of another unpleasant surprise she'd experienced, the result of which was still soaked inside her bag). She didn't mind though, she was startled at first when it started singing but otherwise, the thought of a singing hat that sorted her into a house was quite cool even though she was a bit worried about how it would sort her.
She walked up onto the stool and sat down, waiting. She hadn't thought of which house she'd like to be in, but she didn't mind any of the houses. It would be nice if I was in Ravenclaw or Slytherin like mum and dad though...
When the hat was put on her head, she took a deep breath. "Here it goes," she whispered to herself.
Quote:
PERSONALITY TRAITS:
◆ Inquisitive: Reyna loves learning and has a thirst for knowledge. She would read and listen to anything as long as the subject matter is interesting. She always takes the opportunity to ask questions and would not stop until she fully understands a subject.
◆ Logical: Perhaps because of her love of science and maths, or maybe she loves them because of this, Reyna has a rational and logical mind. Everything happens for a reason and because of her inquisitiveness, she likes to know what those reasons are. She never does anything without knowing the why’s and the for what’s. This is why she hates bullies, or stupid things like the superiority complex of many pure-bloods because to her, that behavior is not rational; there’s no reason to do them, there’s no positive outcome to them and most of the time, they act on flawed logic. This is also why she initially disliked magic but after realizing that magic has it’s own set of rules and logic, she embraced it like she embraced science.
◆ Perceptive: Because she’s spent so much time reading and solving puzzles as a child, Reyna has become very good at noticing small changes and details, especially in people’s behaviour, and is very good at recognizing patterns and interpreting them.
◆ Manipulative: Reyna can also be manipulative when the situation calls for it. She is very good at lying and can make convincing ones up on the spot; she uses this combined with her perceptiveness and skill at reading body language to get out trouble. She doesn't do this out maliciousness and never does it when other people could get hurt as a result.
◆ Loyal: Reyna is extremely loyal to people she’s close to, especially her family and friends. She is fiercely protective of her precious people and if anyone harms them, she retaliates with prejudice. She supports them as much as she could and would do anything to protect them. To her, one of the worst things people could do was to betray their friends and relatives and she considers and treats traitors and backstabbers like scum.
◆ Sarcastic: Like most of her family (especially her parents), Reyna is sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor. If it can be said sarcastically, she will do it, which sometimes makes it hard for people to tell whether she’s joking or not. Reyna often finds herself assuring people that yes, she was just joking.
◆ Aggressive: It’s not easy to get Reyna angry, but when she does, she becomes very aggressive and confrontational. While she’s never the first to throw a punch, she doesn’t hesitate to retaliate and can hold her own, whether it be in a brawl or in a duel, and she doesn’t pull her punches and even resorts to cheap shots if needed. Her aggressiveness isn’t always physical; when challenged or when someone makes a statement or does something she finds stupid, she engages in arguments and can be very caustic. Because of her stubbornness, she hates to admit that she’s wrong in an argument. Even though she almost always apologizes when she’s calmed down, especially when she’s in the wrong, it still causes tension between her and her classmates.
◆ Ambitious: Ever since she was nine, Reyna’s goal was to become the Minister for Magic to help improve the lives of her loved ones. Excluding that, Reyna is a naturally competitive person and she loves to be the best, whether it was in academics or in sports, it doesn’t matter, and she always keeps high standards for herself. Whenever she has a goal, she’s determined to complete it to the absolute best of her ability, something that sometimes puts off her friends.
◆ Introverted: While Reyna has no trouble talking to people and making acquaintances, she doesn’t make close friends easily. She enjoys spending time with her friends and she’s very cheerful and talkative with them, but if she doesn’t know them well, she would make small talk but would much rather do other things. That is why unless she is with friends, she hates big social events because she would get bored and lonely quite easily.
◆ Active: Reyna enjoys being active and playing games and sports. She especially loves to explore her surroundings, especially natural surroundings, climbing trees and rocks. She is eager to join any game or sport, which sometimes conflicts with her more relaxed nature as she would also enjoy just sitting and talking to her friends or reading and solving puzzles.
◆ Laid-Back: Reyna is very laid-back. While she does have a temper, it’s not easy to make her angry and she usually ignores any insults to herself. She does not like stressing too much and is generally open-minded; she doesn’t believe in dwelling in the past as there’s nothing you can do about past mistakes while you can work to do better in the future. However, sometimes, she is too laid-back and can put off doing things she dislikes or despises until the last minute.

Oh, I know, I can feel the shifting in my bones... Enclosed are the senses so unknown. I've been changing, falling, fading- There's demons at the door patiently waiting. But I wasn't composed of broken bones or demon limbs; So please watch over me and be the light to carry me. This change is all so permanent.

Tiernan was the picture of serenity approaching the hat, and even swung her legs rather chipperly as it was placed atop her thick head of dark hair. She'd rather enjoyed the boat ride, and while the trek up to the castle had been tiring for someone with very short legs, she had an entire night of feasting with her sisters to look forward to. Together. 'Slytherin, please,' she requested inside her mind politely, and closed her eyes, waiting to be sorted. Any moment now...
OOC:
■ CHEERFUL Most quickly notice how happy Tiernan always seems to be; she's generally optimistic no matter the mood around her. She tends to think the best of everything and everyone, and she's quite extroverted and friendly, even to perfect strangers. Of course, cheeriness doesn't always equal contentment, as she is quick to admit. As bubbly as she tends to be, she is also constantly on the move, looking for something new to make her happy. ■ INQUISITIVE Tiernan is constantly asking questions about everyone and everything. There are no limits to her curiosity, and she can be quite tactless about it. She always wants to know more, to learn more, not for any practical, concrete reasons, but just so she can fill her head up with new information about the world around her. Eager to hear about anything, she's inclined to gossip and to wild theories, which always makes things interesting. ■ ELOQUENT Tiernan can be very persuasive, especially because of how smoothly she can phrase things. Language is one of her talents, be it English, parseltongue, or writing. She's extremely articulate for her age and rarely at a loss for words. Because of this adults tend to find her very charming, and it only encourages her more. She speaks so seriously and earnestly it can be hard not to want to believe her, even if she isn't making any logical sense. ■ CONTRARY Tiernan does not enjoy being ordered about and isn't above doing the exact opposite of what she was told or 'mishearing' things. She does love a good back and forth debate and as such is inclined to disagree, and to prod at others until they give her something to gleefully respond to. If she doesn't get her way she's inclined to not cooperate, and isn't above wrecking other people's plans purely out of perverse spite. ■ DISSATISFIED Never satisfied with her lot in life, Tiernan always wants more, more, more. More of what, it depends on the situation, but she is always restless, never fully at ease with herself or her surroundings. Tiernan truly believes things could always be better, and she's not willing to settle for anything less. Despite her optimistic outlook she's always yearning for things just out of her reach, and unwilling to stop trying to get them. ■ UNREALISTIC Tiernan's expectations will always exceed reality. Rational as she is, she's not one for practicalities, and her head is, if not in the clouds, never quite on the same plane of existence as everyone else. She thinks big, and rarely does anything truly match what she really wants. Unfortunately, this often leaves her disappointed, but she's quick to bounce back. Tiernan is an idealist who knows the ideal will never be the real.
Can't you see the change in me? There's no placement, no arrangement- Of words that I could say to keep these changes away. This world is a masterpiece... A canvas sheet accountable for such losses. Shout out to the artist who took his heart and his soul, And lost them both in the process.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Slytherin? But you could do so well elsewhere. Your mind is great, full of desire to learn more. Your sisters will certainly understand. I think you'll do well in... Ravenclaw!

'I don't care where I go,' Gavin quickly came to realize as the line of students ahead of him began to diminish. 'I just want opportunity.' Would Slytherin provide him that? Ophelia seemed to think so, but his little sister was only just beginning to learn the art of deception. Gavin Selwyn had the saving grace of a bullheaded older brother, someone he could watch and learn from. Calculate all the errors to never make that mistake himself. But, that bullheaded brother of his had made quite a few enemies while in the house of Slytherin. Had gained little influence with his peers and a bit of nasty reputation as well. Gavin wouldn't follow in those footsteps. But that posed a difficult problem. To break away from the restraints that come with the house of his ancestors would mean to sully himself, his name, and his reputation, by rubbing elbows with the likes of mudbloods. 'If they're competent I wouldn't mind, I suppose.' So which house does he want? Slytherin? Or Ravenclaw? He ought to be perfect for both, but it didn't matter what he thought or how he felt. It was up to the hat. A rather.. dusty... looking hat at that. 'Just when was the last time that thing has been washed?' Then his name was called. Sucking in a sharp breath, he strolled proudly up to the stool and eased gently into the seat. Both eyes darted overhead as he watched the shadows flutter over his brow before moving to stare out over the sea of students.
■ CHARMING Easy going, talkative, and entertaining; Gavin is charismatic and thrives in social settings. When necessary, he can be well-spoken and well-mannered, and at the drop of a hat, is warm, empathetic, and forgiving the next. As an extrovert, he's always willing to engage in pleasant conversation (especially with lovely girls.) ■ RESILIENT Gavin is persistent, if nothing else. If he falls, he will always get back up. He has the will and determination to withstand anything. He is strong, enduring, and has the patience to practice, practice, practice, until he's overcome his obstacle. ■ ADAPTABLE Highly observant and intuitive, he notices the small details and fluctuations of emotions in a group of people. He can change to take on different persona's in order to best blend in with the group he's in. It might seem two-faced, but his only intention is to thrive in every given situation. ■ CAUTIOUS Vigil and tentative, Gavin is one to measure, evaluate and plan before ever striking an attack. He'd rather take the time to find the best possible solution to any given problem. "Think smarter, not harder" is a quote he lives by. He's the type of person to stay on guard, in defense, and watch his enemies attacks and movements for a pattern to exploit. ■ IMAGINATIVE Creative, inventive, and unorthodox. Gavin prefers to think outside the box and approach his problems from an unbiased perspective analyzing both points of view. He is a dreamer, and a bit of a hopeless romantic (even though he rather fears commitment.) And quite the storyteller as well, thanks to the nightly bedtime stories he gives his baby sister every night. ■ CLEVER Witty and intellectual, he has a strong mind adept in critical thinking and logical reasoning. He has a knack for learning things quickly, but because of that, he gets bored just as fast and will occasionally seek out ways to cure that boredom. Despite his sharp mind, he has poor memory. And will likely forget a lesson or lecture days after he's learned it if he doesn't consistently practice.

spaceEve had mixed feelings when she heard the hat declare Mels a Hufflepuff. Not like she had anything against the house, it was great. Almost all her aunts were Hufflepuffs. But she didn't really think she was Puff material... Then again, if Aunt Rose could be a Puff, maybe she could, too. She knew she was a lot like her father, but she was a lot like Rose, too. And even a lot like Nell! Not so much Aunt Ada or Uncle Niall, but two out of four wasn't bad. It was half! And anyway, she knew that Aunt Ada wasn't nearly as sweet as everyone always thought she was. She played just as many pranks and made just as many mean jokes as the rest of them. She only acted like the nice one. And her dad was the only Slytherin she knew that she was anything like! Uncle Damien and Aunt Mari were boring and all they did was sit around rolling their eyes. Statistically, she clearly was more of a Hufflepuff than a Slytherin. And she was definitely not a Ravenclaw. Her mum wasn't even a proper Ravenclaw. She supposed she might be a bit of a Gryffindor, since she had a lot in common with Mels' older brother, but still. She could totally be a Hufflepuff.
spaceWhen her own name was called, she straightened her back and marched up to the hat like she owned it, sitting on the stool as if it were a throne. The first year's expression became unusually serious when it was placed on her head."Alright, hat,"she whispered."I got family in all the houses, I know all the houses. I know it's not as black and white as everyone thinks, and I know you know that, too. So I don't care if people think I'm too much like my daddy to end up in Hufflepuff. That's where you put Melody. So that's where you're gonna put me, too."She crossed her arms on the stool, eyes looking upward at the underneath of the hat's brim, and briefly, she had to suppress a giggle at the thought that maybe she was being rude. Like she was looking up it's skirt or something. That was hilarious. And awful. And she would never, ever do that. Except to a hat, apparently.

⇢Dominic and Grace are very indulgent parents; as such, when they adopted Eve, they immediately showered her with affection and gave her anything she asked for. While the former orphan was hesitant at first, she quickly warmed to the idea of being looked after, and later became quite content with being spoiled utterly rotten by her new parents. She is very used to getting everything she wants, and finds it confusing when she doesn't. If she meets resistance, she'll often try to charm her way into getting whatever it is she has her heart set on. Failure to acquire it is met with irritation, and if she wanted it badly enough, she'll hold a grudge.
POSSESSIVE
⇢Having spent a large portion of her early years in an orphanage, Eve became very unaccustomed to having things of her own, or of having people she could claim as family or friends. As a result, when she was adopted, she found that it was rather hard to let go of things. She clings to everything; people, possessions, you name it, if she feels she can claim it as hers, she will never let it go. The most compelling evidence of this is her fairy tale book, her only possession from before her biological parents died. As a child, Eve read the book so many times that it's missing half it's pages and falling to pieces, but she won't give it up, or even allow her adoptive parents, both magical, to fix it, because she didn't want them to so much as touch it.
INQUISITIVE
⇢Eve was always a curious child; in her youth, her mother would enchant her with stories of the fae and ancient tales of their misadventures. Her parents often spent time with her outdoors, pointing out all the glories of nature and teaching her about plants and animals and everything under the sun. As such, she grew to be quite nosy. If faced with something she doesn't understand, she will immediately begin questioning someone, demanding answers that will help her grasp it. A simple conversation can be utterly derailed by the mere mention of something she's never heard of as she fires off question after question to know what it is.
ADVENTUROUS
⇢Hand in hand with her curious nature is her desire to, as she puts it, 'go forth and conquer!' What, precisely, she intends to conquer, has never been entirely clear. But, she has a great desire to go out in the world, to see things she's never seen, to experience things she's never experienced. She's something of an adrenaline junkie, courtesy of her adoptive father, and the greater the risk, the more satisfying the reward. While she hasn't a clue what she wants to do with her life once she's out of school, she knows one thing; she wants it to be dangerous and exciting. While not entirely fearless, she's not the sort of person to ever let her fear conquer her.
OPTIMISTIC
⇢One of the only things that kept her going during her time in the orphanage was her positivity; in spite of her situation, she fought very hard to never be depressed or think the worst of things. While that grew difficult for a time once Melody was adopted, she bounced back easily when she joined Dom and Gracie's family. Since her adoption, she hasn't known a day in her life where she didn't think things were going to go excellently. She looks at the rain, and thinks of how pretty the flowers will be. Every problem is simply a puzzle to solve, and the reward will always be worth it.
DEVIOUS
⇢Eve likes getting her way, and she's not above being sneaky to do it. At the orphanage, she became a master of sneaking around undetected to get into places she wasn't supposed to be. These skills were later honed by her adoptive father, who had an obsession with spying on his neighbors and friends. She's also excellent at talking her way out of trouble, playing the sweet, innocent card readily and often with great success. She's a very charismatic child, and often finds ways to make people forget why they were actually mad at her in the first place. She rarely feels any remorse for her actions, unless someone is actually hurt by them.

With his head held high, Cecil marched into the Great Hall. Its sheer size intimidated him, but his mind raced in exhilaration at the thought of the future. He had wondered where he would fit: Ravenclaw, the house of smarts, or perhaps Gryffindor, a group of courageous youths? Maybe not Hufflepuff or Slytherin, but he wasn't the Sorting Hat. Cecil's stomach ached, from the thought that momentarily, he would be placed in the house where he would reside for the next seven years.
SELFISH lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure Suppose the last piece of cake sat in front of Cecil and one of his acquaintance. Would Cecil yield the last bite of sugary goodness? No. He'd take it, and wouldn't feel guilty, even if said acquaintance was but a toddler. Cece likes, Cece takes.
DISHONEST behaving or prone to behave in an untrustworthy or fraudulent way If his lies could put himself at an advantageous position, then he'd lie in a heartbeat, no shame attached. The largest lie would be his smile: Its gentleness hides a venomous smirk, but at least he'd keep smiling and pretend to be nice. JUDGEMENTAL having or displaying an excessively critical point of view You made a mistake? Too bad, Cecil will now forever remember you as "that kid who made a fool of himself in front of everyone". Everything else doesn't matter, because to him, mistakes can never be fixed. MATERIALISTIC excessively concerned with material possessions; money-oriented Possessions is money. Money is status. Status is power. And power is everything. Even as a child, Cecil understood that looks defined character.
ADAPTABLE able to adjust to new conditions Cecil is able to adapt to different situations quickly, and is able to see the brighter side of things fairly fast. His quick thinking can get him out of trouble, and with a dash of ingenuity, he is capable of turning a disadvantage into an advantage. Considering all plausible options and formulating multiple plans are his tickets to success. ENERGETIC showing or involving great activity or vitality Cecil wouldn't be able to pull off his "nice guy" character without a dash of spirit. He is naturally outgoing, with an affinity to positivity. If only he could be empathetic and considerate, then he'd probably be an actual nice guy. AMBITIOUS having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed Whether motivated by competition or his own interests, Cecil devotes fully to his tasks. If he can't bring his A game, then the point of participating is moot. LOYAL giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution If you can overlook his negative traits, and if you can tolerate his personality, Cecil will notice this, and will remain forever faithful to you. He may be an a*****e, but he will never be a backstabber. If you trust him, he will do his best to never violate the trust: He doesn't trust himself, so to him, it's a miracle.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Always eager for more, Faithful to your friends, Able to find your way in different situations. Yes, you will do well in... Slytherin!
Hope that you spend your days, But they all add up And when that sun goes down, Hope you raise your cup Oh, I wish that I could witness All your joy and all your pain But until my moment comes, I'll say...

Kazu entered the hall nervously. He had crossed over in the boats with everyone else, but he'd had so many butterflies in his stomach that he hadn't said a word. Now he was staring down the sorting hat wondering where he was going to go. He wondered if he'd just be told that he'd have to go home. He hoped not. He actually wanted to go to school in England. He'd never lived in Japan, he figured that he'd be looked at oddly if he tried to.

HUFFLEPUFF HEAD OF HOUSE||DEPUTY HEADMISTRESS||HERBOLOGY PROFESSOR
It was finally time. Pandora set the Hat on the stool and took out the scroll that listed all of the students' names. She started to call their names and place the Hat on their heads as they came up. The Sorting had begun.
