Ever since she heard about the magic school, Maisie couldn't stop imagining what it'd look like, and being told that Hogwarts was a castle only fueled her imagination further. She'd seen castles and ancient buildings before, and her mind kept returning to the ideal fairytale castle with big towers like Merlin's from the Sword in the Stone, but seeing Hogwarts in real life blew her expectations out of the water. It looked really amazing, and the interior was even better, with moving protraits, tapestries and suits of armour straight out of a medieval tournament! The hall they were ushered into was the single most amazing room that Maisie had ever been in and she couldn't stop staring at the floating candles and the twinkling stars visible through the arched ceiling. Then they brought out a talking hat! Hogwarts is so cool! she thought gleefully, watching as her soon to be classmates were each called out by name and were sorted into the different houses. Maisie didn't know which house she wanted to be put into, maybe the one with the lion? But being in the house with the eagle would be just as great, or the badger. As she contemplated which house she might like, her name was called out, pulling her out of her thoughts and with a grin, she took a seat at the stool and waited for the hat to be placed on her head. At least she wasn't the one who had to choose, she wouldn't be able to pick just one for herself.
TRAITS: ↳ Determined: Determined is one word to describe Maisie, although it would be more accurate to say that she perseveres. She doesn't let things get in her way once she has her mind set on something and if there are obstacles, she simply works around them. She is also quite adaptable and can think on the spot.
↳ Friendly: Maisie is quite friendly and welcoming, not just to her friends but to new people as well. She is quite cheerful and is always willing to include people; 'the more the merrier' is a statement that Maisie lives by and she finds that everything is better the more people enjoy it. That is not to say that she doesn't like spending time with smaller groups of people, not at all; as long as she spends time with her friends and family, she's happy. She sees no point in being rude since that's not how friendships start, and having moved around often before settling in Aberdeen, making friends is something that Maisie is good at.
↳ Helpful: Maisie enjoys helping people quite a bit and she's always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. She likes to feel useful and would feel guilty if there was a way she could've helped someone but didn't. She hates turning people down even if it's to her detriment and in this way, she can be quite a people pleaser.
↳ Inquisitive: Curiosity is one trait that got her in trouble often. Maisie likes to know as much as she can about what's going on. In most cases, she can't help herself, but usually, she'd back off when told to do so, although she has trouble letting go of her curiosity even then. That being said, she can be hypocritical in that while she's quite inquisitve, she hates it when other people are too nosy although she justifies it by insisiting that she's not rude and would stop if told to do so as she doesn't want to hurt others' feelings.
↳ Reticent: Paradoxically, while Maisie is friendly and outgoing, she's also quite reticent, although this is not immediately noticeable due her cheerful exterior. She has no problem chatting with others and talking about her interests and activities, but she usually avoids personal questions, especially in regards to her past or her personal feelings, usually misdirecting them or giving the most basic details due to both habit and to not burden others with her troubles. Not telling people too much has been drilled into since she was young by her father and he is the only one she'd confide her insecurities and worries to.
↳ Straightforward: While friendly, Maisie can also be quite blunt and doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to matters excluding her own feelings. She doesn't do it to be rude, in fact she tries to not be rude and bother others, but she likes to state things as they are as she finds that it's the best way to clear the air and communicate with each other, especially if the other party is being stubborn.

Loke smirked as he looked around the hall as they were led in. He'd heard about the ceiling, and the hall, and practically everything in the school from his dad, but it was completely different to be there. He wondered exactly how the Great Hall looked when Luke, Steffi, and Tobi had enchanted the suits of armour to dance in it, but he had to content himself with a description. Maybe he could do something similar? As it was, the minute he was called up, he gave the headmistress a smile and a wave, knowing fully that she had been his dad's head of house at one time. He waited for the hat to descend before he decided to ask one question of the hat. Is it true that both my parents were in Gryffindor? Why'd you put them there?

◊ MISCHIEVOUSLoke likes to make mischief, usually in the form of pranks and jokes. He likes to press buttons as well, seeing how far he can go without hopefully getting into trouble. The problem is, he usually ends up in such trouble, as he often underestimates situations and gets caught as a result. ◊ INTELLIGENTLoke is quite intelligent. He can easily figure out problems and find solutions, and can even come up with new ideas and ways to apply them. However, he does tend to jump the gun a bit when he's sure that he knows something, sometimes leading to him coming to the wrong conclusion. ◊ BLUNTLoke is quite blunt, saying what's on his mind whenever he can. He usually likes to state things in such a way as to leave no room for ambiguousness, and often means what he says. However, he does realize that sometimes he can say the wrong things and tries to mitigate it, as he doesn't like to hurt people by careless words. ◊ CREATIVELoke has quite the imagination, and can usually devise new ways to make people laugh or prank someone. He loves to invent new ways to have fun or tell a joke, and enjoys discovering new ways to do so. ◊ SARCASTICSarcasm is Loke's preferred way of dealing with trouble, and uses it like armour against a lot of problems. Not that he avoids them, but he can't help but come up with quips and jabs to deal with problems he can't otherwise deal with normally. He also tends to use it when he is being forced to do something he doesn't want to, often to show his displeasure in a given situation. ◊ LOYALFor all of his troublemaking ways, Loke is quite loyal to his friends and family. He has heard of what happens when people break someone's trust or lie to get what they want, and Loke finds himself uncomfortable when that happens. Therefore, if he makes a promise, he sticks with it, and will often throw himself into danger if it helps those he cares about.

The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... I had my reasons, I assure you Though what they did with it was up to them As it'll be up to you, my boy And, I think for you, it'd better be Ravenclaw!
spaceAmata lead the first years from the antechamber into the Great Hall, approaching the stool and the hat with the group lined up behind her. She unbound the scroll, and began reading off names to start the sorting so the evening could get underway.
spaceRoland still wasn't sure how he felt about this whole thing. It didn't help that his last name started with a 'B', so he didn't have very long to bask in the weirdness before his opinion became a moot point. Oh, Ivy and Vio and Joel had all warned him, sure, but that didn't really prepare a person for... for all of this. The train ride was normal, mostly, and riding across the lake had been unusual, especially with the self-propelling boats that didn't have any sort of mechanical engine, but not too out of the ordinary overall. This, though. The castle itself was intimidating, the ceiling looked like the bloody sky outside, like literally exactly like the sky, and there was a singing bloody hat that was apparently going to tell him which dorm to go into? Bizarre. He'd been sort-of living in the magical world for a few years now, granted, but Ivy and Vio didn't use a whole lot of magic at home. Nothing like this. This was insane.
spaceWhen his name was called, he hesitated; there was still a small part of him that didn't even want to be here. That thought being here, sitting on that stool and being sorting into a house and attending the actual school, was something he could never come back from, something that would ruin everything. Oh, his father tried. But he'd seen what magic had done to Ivy's relationship with the man. He hadn't even met his own sister until his own magic had manifested and necessitated it. Now here he was, at the magic school, readying to learn magic... Did he even really want this? He didn't think he had much of a choice, which didn't seem particularly fair. He frowned as he sat on the stool, hoping this part, at least, was over quickly. He had a lot of attention on him right now and didn't like it one bit.

SOFT-SPOKEN xxx»» Roland is a quiet child, which is a far cry from what he was like as an infant. Somewhere around age four, he suddenly withdrew into himself. Not in a bad way, necessarily, it just became apparent that he wasn't particularly keen on talking overmuch. When he does speak, he chooses his words carefully, and rarely raises his voice. He's not exactly timid, but he's certainly cautious with how he speaks to others.
CURIOUS xxx»» Roland likes to explore things, to read and to study and to observe. He has trouble focusing on any one thing in particular because there's always something else to capture his attention. He tries to absorb everything, but the sheer magnitude of the things he finds interesting overwhelms him. His memory is somewhat faulty as a result, and he frequently gets himself confused and flustered when he realizes he'd forgotten something he deems important.
FUNNY xxx»» Roland discovered at a very early age that he likes to make people laugh. In his early years, he found it easy and exceptionally gratifying to earn a chuckle simply for being cute and making a mess. He was always careful to act out in ways that earned him a laugh rather than a punishment. As he's gotten older, he's learned the value of puns and funny riddles, though he often fails at properly delivering the punchline. Still, for a child of seven, even the attempt can manage to make someone snicker a little, if only to indulge him and reward him for his efforts.
ACTIVE xxx»» Roland doesn't like to be still, unless he has a book in his hand. Even while watching the telly, he's often standing on his feet, imitating the battles his favorite heroes are engaged in. When not occupied with either of these activities, he likes to run, or climb. It was only through sheer luck that his mother discovered he likes to play football, and thanked the heavens that there was something somewhat organized he could channel his energy towards.
KIND xxx»» Roland is a sweet boy, always quick with a compliment for a stranger on the street or to offer a helping hand, even if he's really too small or too young to actually be much help. He enjoys making other people smile. He also has a penchant for bringing stray animals home, which would be quite fine if they were only cats and the occasional small dog, but he's not above bringing a snake in from the backyard 'because it's lonely'. If he had his way, his room would be a small zoo, filled to bursting with all the creatures he'd collected.
ADAPTABLE xxx»» Roland doesn't worry overmuch about the status quo, and as such is quite capable of dealing with things when it is suddenly altered. Some changes, those he doesn't much care for, are met with a bit of crying and perhaps a small fit, but for the most part he accepts them and moves on. He's a very optimistic child, and firmly believes things are going to work out for the best, even if he doesn't like how things are going at the moment.

Augustus walked into the Great Hall alongside all his new fellow classmates. Everything was so terribly exciting and he almost couldn't handle it. Blue eyes looked upward at the ceiling, something his dad had told him about, and he gasped at the sight above. It was almost like being in the heavens themselves with how clear it was. He listened to the introduction, then waited patiently until the list got to the M surnames. Oh boy! Finally his name rang out above the din of all the other students and Gus made his way to the front. Having so many people watching him made his heart race, but he did his best to calm himself down as he sat on the stool there. The hat fell over his eyes, the boy waiting to discover just how this all worked. "Hello, Mr. Hat. Please if you don't mind, put me somewhere safe and calm... but also somewhere nice and friendly. I'd like that, please Mr. Hat."
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx ⇾Cᴀᴜᴛɪᴏᴜs: Ever since he was little, Gus has been cautious about everything in the world. He knows what makes him sick and what could potentially cause him injury, and avoids them as best he can. Of course, he still gets hurt sometimes, but he adapts to take better precautions in the future. ⇾Pʟᴀʏꜰᴜʟ: Much like his father, Gus loves playing games, usually by his own invention. He enjoys drawing others into his games, even if they have no idea what he's playing. He also loves telling silly jokes and stories, though they don't usually make much sense. ⇾Tʀᴜsᴛɪɴɢ: Thanks to spending a majority of his young life at the doctors and hospital, Gus has become very trusting, particularly toward adults. He believes no one would ever do harm upon him intentionally, and isn't afraid of much, since he believes others will always protect him. ⇾Dᴇᴛᴇʀᴍɪɴᴇᴅ: Whether in his health or his smarts, Gus is determined to be better. He likes to work with his dad, even though he honestly has no real idea what's going on. It makes him feel better when he makes himself do difficult tasks, specifically when he figures out how to do them all by himself. ⇾Wɪᴛᴛʏ: Gus has gotten good at sarcastic comebacks, though they're almost entirely harmless. He's great at thinking on the fly, and figuring out the perfect things to say and do in any situation. ⇾Pᴜɴᴄᴛᴜᴀʟ: Due to his need for medicines and breathing treatments, Gus has become incredibly punctual. He's good at keeping time, and he is adamant that if he's ever on time, he's running late.
Charlie was beyond excited. He was finally, finally at Hogwarts! He was going to be great at magic, just like his dad AND Matteo! It was going to be the coolest thing ever! He walked along with all the other first years, gawking at the massive great hall. He'd been told it was big, but holy cow! The teacher at the front welcomed them and stuff, then started reading.... And thanks to his keeping his original last name, Charlie was right at the top of the list! He grinned proudly as he walked to the front. The brunette sat on the stool and tried to make himself appear taller, but sank a bit when the hat landed on his head. He waited for it's choice, but he really, really hoped to be a Gryffindor. It sounded like the most fun house.... well, that or Slytherin, but no matter what, he'd be pleased.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Wɪʟᴅ Charlie is seldom bound by the constraints of the rules. He doesn't like coloring inside the lines or using his "inside voice". He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants.... so long as he doesn't hurt other people. xxxxx⇾Cᴀʀᴇꜰʀᴇᴇ Charlie doesn't mind the consequences of most of his actions, nor does he typically think of them. He's not anxious when talking to people or exploring the unknown. xxxxx⇾Iɴᴅᴇᴄɪsɪᴠᴇ It takes a really long time for Charlie to make up his mind, and even then, he's not great at sticking by it. He works much better in spontaneous situations, rather than planning them out. xxxxx⇾Eᴄᴄᴇɴᴛʀɪᴄ Charlie is.... kind of a weird kid. He collects odd things he finds, on top of just odd behavior. He likes making up words, but doesn't always tell people what they mean, as he thinks it adds to the surprise. xxxxx⇾Iᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ Charlie has a very vivid mindset of how he wants the world to be. He imagines castles and dragons instead of houses and cars. He likes to play pretend and daydream, thinking of things in interesting and unusual ways. xxxxx⇾Cʜᴀʀᴍɪɴɢ Charlie has always been good at talking to people, and often uses his charm to avoid trouble when his wild side gets out of control. He loves charming, and even though he has no idea what "flirting" is, his parents used to tease him by calling him a flirt.
Question, tell me what you think about me I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings Only ring your celly when I'm feelin' lonely When it's all over please get up and leave.
Aubrie was so psyched for sorting! she had been DYING to go to Hogwarts when her brothers left on their first year. Sure she had been too young but it was lonely not being able to annoy her brothers. When entering the Great Hall Aubrie gawked at the ceiling. Sure she had read about it but seeing it was a whole another thing. She quick spotted her brothers and was able to wave to them both. When they stopped she got a slight bump and whispered an apology from a freckled kid behind her She quietly replied it was no problem. Perhaps he was muggleborn? It had to be quite the trip if this was your first taste of magic. She wasn't too far down the list but seeing the hat reminded her how her brothers sorting were rather surprising and upsetting for them. "Hepburn, Audrey" Oh for the love of Merlin they had to use formal names! Well, that meant Iggy got called Ignatius in front of the whole school so she guessed she could survive being compared to the actor by everyone with any muggle ties. Nothing against her she was cool! But hearing "oh like the actor" most of your childhood, it got exhausting. She approached the stool and was ready for some answers 'Ok Mr. Hat before you sort me I want to know why did Iggy get Ravenclaw and Kam get Hufflepuff? It really messed with them and if that is why their fighting now I will find were they store you and make you apologize!' Aubrey thought sternly. Sure now the hat might be a jerk and put her in a wrong house but hey she didn't have a house preference to start with so meh.
Tell me how you feel about this Who would I want if I would wanna live I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get Ladies, it ain't easy being independent

She's speaks her mind as soon as she thinks it CRAFTY Aubrie loves a good prank especially on her brothers. She does it mostly for fun but she's not above a revenge prank. She swears she's not petty STRONG-WILLED Aubrie is a determined and firmly stands by her decisions and beliefs nothing shakes her resolve. She knows to get what you want or need you got to be firm sometimes FOOL-HARDY having grown up with two brothers Aubrie didn't exactly have a good example of personal safety.

Josh was continually being amazed by all this magic! First, they were in a castle! And Josh was certain he saw a ghost on their way here! He was so anxious to see more he was almost bouncing before they got to the Great Hall. He stuck close to his sister as the big doors opened. He kept with the group but needed like a thousand more eyes! The ceiling! The candles! The number of people in here! The ceiling! Josh nearly caused a pile-up but luckily only bumped into the girl in front of him. He whispered an apology and got a no problem whispered in reply. Oh, they had an old hat up there. Why? He watched the first kid go up wondering what would happen. It talked! Was it a cool mind reading hat? Josh worried a moment. Back in non-magic school, he was told his brain was different. Well worked differently at the very least. Would the hat work on him? His parents said it just made him special but was he too special? He jumped a bit when he heard his name. "Sparks, Joshua." Oh he was first alphabetically! Right? Right! He approached the stool and sat before the hat covered his eyes a bit. Good, he couldn't see the whole school looking at him. 'So Um Mr. Hat? Sorry, I know I'm wired weird compared to the other kids. That shouldn't be a problem though right?' He thought sheepishly hoping he wasn't going the be the one kid the hat couldn't sort
Just like magic, I'll be flying free I'm 'a disappear when they come for me I kick that ceiling. What you gonna say? No one can be just like me any way

Brook walked in with all of the first years and stood between Aidene and Rhea. Aidene was called, and sorted into her house, Brook was proud of her. It would suit Aidene well. And then it was Brook’s turn. ”Knapp, Brook" Brook stepped forward and the hat was placed on her head. She was ready for this. She had been waiting so long for this. She looked around the room and saw the candles on the ceiling, a strong charm must have held that up. She glanced over and saw Aldrick glaring down at his notebook, then saw a red head laughing at him. She mumbled to herself, about how Aldrick was a jerk for not noticing her turn for being sorted. Then, she saw Rhea and Aidene smiling up at her. They would be friends no matter what house they were in, that’s what mattered. She thought up to the hat, ”Well hat, go ahead and sort me where you think I belong.”
Easily Distracted Very often Brook will get distracted, and not finish what it is she started. This is from having an older brother, who always wanted to get the work finished, so she just let him do it, there were other things she could be doing. Sympathetic and caring Brook feels deeply for those around her, she may not understand, but she wants to care for those hurting. She genuinely cares for everyone and everything. Friendly Brook will reach out to anyone and try to befriend them, human, animal, cupcake? Obsessive Brook is known to obsess over things. Particularly, her over indulgent obsessiveness with food. She's also been known to obsess in smaller matters, such as not telling secrets, and not leaving people out of the loop if possible Observant Brook pays attention to the finer details of things. whether it be food, potions, or work. Intelligent While Brook is easily distracted, due to her observing things, she has become fairly intelligent for her age. She has random bits of knowledge, that make her seem more knowledgeable on certain subjects than she should.

Lavinia Elena Gismondi Unsorted First Year Halfblood • Young Backpacker
➽ Location : Great Hall ~ Sorting
Lavinia couldn’t be happier to be at Hogwarts. She was away from the stresses of home life and could start her own adventure. So far, she’d enjoyed the trip to school. The train and boat ride had been nice. She hadn’t seen Kerry in the crowds though she was sure she was among the first years somewhere. At least with Kerry in her year she wouldn’t be starting things off alone. She even had a nice owl that she’d picked out with the girl’s help.
Entering the great hall, Lavinia was amazed. She would be staying for one in a literal castle. Not to mention the way it looked overall. It had definitely been around for a long time. Made her wonder just how many students walked through the halls. Speaking of she couldn’t wait to see the rest of the castle. For now, she waited for her name to be called.
“Lavinia Gismondi,”
Walking up to the stool, Lavinia took a seat. Taking a breath, she waited for the hat to be placed on her head. How did a hat talk anyway? She couldn’t figure that one out. Since she didn’t know much about the overall Hogwarts sorting experience this was all new to her. Only time would tell what it was all about and where she would end up.
➽ Status : Curious ➽ Company : Classmates… The whole school...

xxxP E R S O N A L I T Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
■ ADVENTUROUSLavinia ever since she was young has had a sense of adventure. With her parents traveling it was no surprise really. Braving new things has always come easy to her, be it climbing the tallest mountain or leaping from the tallest tree. One day she plans to do it all. Though, she is far from being reckless while doing so. Until then Lavinia will stick to fearlessly exploring her surroundings and making the most out of what she's given. ■ FREE SPIRITEDBeating to her own drum, Lavinia is a free spirit. No surprise given how adventurous she is. She's quite independent for a young age. Managing to do more for herself then her mother expected so soon. Having ideas of what she wants rather then what other's want for her Lavinia isn't afraid to shoot for the stars. Albeit realistically. Though she's very much still learning to let some things go in her life, she tends to let minor problems bounce off instead of weighing her down. ■ STRONG WILLEDLavinia is also a determined young soul. She shoots for what she wants and won’t let anyone stop her. That’s not to say she’d trample over someone to get it. Though she will go against the advice of others at times. Either way she’s not one for backing down or giving up. Once she’s made up her mind there’s just no stopping her. ■ REBELLIOUSSince finding out her mother had hidden the magical world from her, Lavinia has taken to being rebellious. She had always been free spirited but would never go so far as to rebel. Now however, she struggles to comply with her mother's wishes feeling betrayed for being left out. Perhaps one day she would grow to understand but until then she’d remain unsure. ■ PROTECTIVELavinia has grown to be a loyal friend and is mighty protective of the friends she makes. She won’t sit by and let someone bully another person, not while she is around. She’d attempt to end it in a hell of a hurry. Definitely not afraid of a fight she’ll prevent any harm from coming to her friends and family. ■ CLEVERLavinia can also be quite clever when she wants to be. She has a brain like a whip, coming up with witty comebacks on a dim. She has the smarts and understands things well enough This allows her to figure out how to put what she’s learned into practical use. Something she’s usually rather good at.
Shawna Brynn Llywarch Unsorted First Year Halfblood ♦ Future Business Owner
◆ Location : Great Hall ~ Sorting
Shawna had been looking forward to her day at Hogwarts since what seemed like forever. So when she got there she was intrigued. Quidditch was definitely the first order of business in her mind. Though she would make sure it wouldn’t affect her grades. Course she needed to be sorted. The sorting alone would be interesting. Her mother and father had both attended. She had no idea if she’d end up in either of the houses, they’d been in. Ravenclaw and Slytherin has been their sorting’s respectively.
Standing in the great hall, Shawna waiting for her name to be called. She was undoubtable impressed with what she saw so far. Stepping up to the stool when it was her turn to do so she had one thought in mind. ‘Please put me somewhere where others have as much ambition as I do.’ She hoped the hat would hear her out. She also hoped she’d make some friends. If not, she’d certainly have a rather boring not to mention a very lonely time.
◆ Status : Impressed ◆ Company : Everyone...
◆ OOC : - - -
xxxP E R S O N A L I T Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
■ AMBITOUSFirst and foremost Shawna is very ambitious when it comes to reaching an objective. It doesn’t matter what it is. If she wants to obtain it, she will shoot for it. Shawna believes the sky is the limit for all things. She is in fact very driven to do all she sets out to do. Setting high goals for herself she doesn’t let anyone talk her out of them, less they be completely insane. One day she wishes to take over the family business but not until she gets to do and experience other things first. ■ DETERMINATIONShawna has a fiery determination. In truth she isn’t known to quit. In fact, she hates quitting. So much so she has an aversion to it. When she has something in mind there’s no changing her mind. She can be very stuck in her way and not easily swayed. Luckily, she has an overall sense of reason when it comes to making decisions. ■ CLEVERIn fact Shawn can be quite clever. She’s hardly the type that would run head first into a situation without thinking. Thinking things through is possibly the first thing she goes about doing. Granted she can think up an action or response rather quickly. Leave it to her quick tongue and sharp mind. Though sometimes it can get the best of her when her tongue gets ahead of her brain. ■ RESOURCEFULIn some cases one could consider her resourceful. As Shawna is able to figure out the toughest of problems. She’d spend her time figuring out solutions and perfecting a tactic that works to get further along. She’s hardly a creative innovator but at least she has enough push to find a work around. Even in the most impossible circumstances there’s no stopping Shawna from finding a way. ■ FOCUSEDShawna has always had the ability to focus. It’s what made her, her mother’s best student (only student). A hard worker, she keeps her eye on the prize. Whether it’s a homework assignment or just a book she decided to pick up, she’ll get it done. Though at times she can be so focused on getting things right that she can become enable to let it go. This leaves Shawna to be a minor perfectionist in just about everything she does. ■ LOYALIt is also worth mentioning that Shawna is fiercely loyal to her family and those she calls friends. She has a sense of duty to her family and is devoted to them through and through. As for her friends, of those she makes she is undoubtable true to them. The further a friend gets up the list the more she’ll start treating them very much like a part of her family. Though it might take some time to get up at the top she will treat even those low on the list with support.

The sorting. Aidene had put off thinking about this and hadn’t decided what house would be good for her. She knew that Aunt Elly, Auntie Della, and her mother had all been in Gryffindor, but they all seemed to be very different people with very different ways of demonstrating bravery or other “Gryffindor” characteristics. Her grandparents had been in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and they seemed smart and nice respectively, but the opposite could have been true too. It’d be cool to be in the same house as Aunt Elly and Auntie Della, but she did not want to be in her mother’s house.
Aunt Elly and Daddy had always kept their guesses secret--so they wouldn't get her hopes up one way or another or some lame reason like that. Anyways, as far as she had ever been able to discern, the primary mechanical differences in the houses was reputation bonuses, and distance from home base to other places. And of course, different aesthetic options.
Thus she was less concerned about which house exactly she would be in and more worried about her party being split up—Brook, Rhea and she could have been all been remarkably gathered at Hogwarts only to be separated into different houses again. That filled Aidene with a strange sense of loss, even if she knew it wasn’t the end of the world. Just an end to sleepovers. Maybe it would be more advantageous if they weren’t in the same house because then they could get access to different places. But it would be cool to wear matching House-themed outfits. Or maybe it would be nice to have different colors to work with. Was there any house they could all fit in? They had a whole train ride to figure this out--man why--
”Kieran, Aidene.”
Welp, it was her turn. “GLHF,” she told Rhea and Brook, hoping it would be fun indeed.
Aidene headed for the front and hopped onto the stool. The sound of a voice in her head startled her a bit—How many mind readers are there here?! Wait I knew the hat did this. When do we learn how to enchant cloth like this? She stopped, realizing that if it talked, the polite thing to do was to greet the Hat properly. Oh--right! How're you doing Sorting Hat? I haven't really made up my mind--minus Gryffindor pls-- wait no I have nothing against Gryffindor--so uh, I guess I'm leaving it to you to make the right decision, kay?
_______________ settingGreat Hall || with Brook, Rhea, first years, and the rest of the school outfit uniform || status Houses. Friends. Hat.
_______________ //OOC: --
CONFIDENT Aidene has never questioned her ability, and believes her martial arts and magic makes her dangerous. She's can be snippy or blunt, but doesn't try to be rude.
CRAFTYAidene passes the time primarily by creative design: drawing outfits, then cutting paper and cloth to make them for her cloth dolls. She enjoys making things--or helping to make things-- with her hands, like food or clothes. She’s also very fond of sharing these works, as long as she has enough for the next project. Her favorite memories are about food and warmth of family: father’s smile when he came home to find she’d made food--even if was just instant noodles.
IMAGINATIVE In addition to making doll clothes, Aidene enjoys making her dolls play out stories. Sometimes she reenacts stories from mythology or fiction with said dolls, sometimes she makes her own. She used to make up stories about how her missing mother might be the descendant of ice fairies or something. Those stopped, and recently, there’ve have been dolls that only survive one play session before being thrown into the fireplace. Either way, she's sometimes more rooted in a fantasy world than the real world.
FUN LOVINGWith athletes of all kinds of games in her family, Aidene has a great appreciation for fun, games and sports of all sorts. She talks about life in video game terms-- “EXP”, “levels”, “stats”-- and while usually fairly distracted, if things are framed as games, she becomes a lot more eager to gather information or strategize. For video games specifically, she's more fond of watching than playing: she fried three game systems in frustration before her dad stuck to buying her dolls instead.
HONORABLEAidene tries to be an honor-worthy player in the game of life, even if for childish reasons. She loves it when people praise her for being mature or responsible or “a good sport” and holds herself to a high standard even if other people don’t follow it.

Halfblood | Unsorted First Year | Eleven Years Old ➼Sorting Ceremony 2045➼Great Hall➼With:Brook, Aidene, all sorts of students ➼Wearing:Hair, School Robes➼Status:Nervous, but Eager
Of all the aspects of Hogwarts Rhea had been hesitant towards, the sorting ceremony was not one of them. After Jonah’s recount of the event she had been somewhat eager to see the Great Hall for herself and take part in the ceremony firsthand. No matter where she was sorted she was confident she could find something good about it. Her mother and grandpa Jonah had been in Gryffindor—this was the last opportunity for her generation to carry on the Lane tradition, plus at least she knew her neighbor Aldrick there. Ravenclaw had her brother. Ever since he came to Hogwarts they hadn’t been as close as they were when she was small, so the idea of living with him full-time again was undeniably appealing. Plus there was Sonora! Then Slytherin… She recalled her Grandma Vera had been sorted there. Slytherin common room was under the lake and she’d heard students could sometimes see mermaids through the windows. She had already decided if she was sorted among the snakes she would learn Morse code and teach the mermaids so she could communicate through the windows. Not to mention there were Vespera and August. As for Hufflepuff, well, she’d heard they had some of the kindest hearts. Given her insecurity about her whole situation, it sounded like a safe place to be planted and grow at her own pace, but she didn’t have much of an opinion on any of the houses otherwise.
Her friends had been sorted first, and Rhea clapped and cheered for the girls as the hat made its decision. She hated the idea of being separated from either of them, but it wasn’t really a big deal, right? After all, it was all the same castle. She took a deep breath as her name was finally called.
“Lane, Rhea.”
‘Whatever happens… It’s going to be fine.’ It has to be.
It was a nice thought, but that didn’t stop the bundle of nerves from tying knots in her chest as she stepped up to the front. As she took her seat on the stool she smiled shyly at her brother who gave a premature “WHOO!” in proud, brotherly support. The hat, much too big, was placed upon her head and shaded her view with its brim.
She heard a foreign voice blare in her head and deduced it must be the hat working its magic. ‘You know, Mr. Sorting Hat, I had plans before this,’ Rhea confided, ‘Big plans! Like teaching dance in a prestigious academy, or the English National Ballet, or even an Olympic gymnast! Magic didn’t fit into this.’ The girl fidgeted anxiously. ‘But that’s probably my fault, isn’t it? Anyway… I hadn’t exactly thought about this part of my life until now, so… I'll trust your judgement.' She kicked her legs with a soft giggle, her mind more at ease now that she'd had a moment to vent. 'By the way, I like a challenge.’
PASSIONATE High-spirited and outspoken, Rhea may be tiny but she's still a force of nature. When she sets her mind to something, it's going to get done, no matter what. When she has something she cares about she will dedicate herself to learning everything there is to know about the topic, whether it's ballet, or mermaids, or even her friendships. She is grounded in her beliefs and likes to find the good in everything and everyone she comes across.
DISCIPLINED When it comes to the things she is passionate about, Rhea is incredibly disciplined. With her ballet and gymnastics she has dedicated nearly her entire life, spending hours a day practicing and keeping her body performance-ready at all times. She runs a tight schedule in order to make time for her training, school work, and social life, and is even strict with her diet (although she still makes sure to get those junk food cravings satisfied). When times come up that she is unable to maintain her routine, such as when she is ill and told to rest, she becomes terribly stressed and restless. She cannot stand to be still for long and is prone to try and sneak off and maintain her activity levels somehow.
INSECUREReceiving her magic was probably one of the most difficult moments in Rhea's young life. She was quick to notice the affect her accidental magic phase had on her parent's relationship. Suddenly Rhea was a wizard, her father was upset to handle it, and her mother unhappy at her father's behavior towards what they realized was inevitable. She recalled Uncle Joseph had always said magic was twisted and dreadful. Did she do something wrong? Is she a bad person? Rhea has several doubts towards her magic, but she is just as harsh on the rest of herself. The girls at school were prettier. They had better grades. They didn't get in trouble because all the books on the shelf flew off when they were browsing for something to read. Hell, some of them already had boyfriends. What was so wrong with her?
ROMANTIC Rhea has always been fascinated with fairy tales. The thought of a princess finding her true love and living a happily ever after was incredibly appealing to an impressionable young girl, and she is one of those young ladies who has been plotting her wedding since she was 5. (Currently she wants a poofy white dress with lacy sleeves with a bouquet of tiger lilies and forget-me-nots). She is a sweet young lady that sees the beauty in everything, even the worst things... Except figs. There's nothing beautiful about figs.
INDEPENDENT Although she's the baby of the family, Rhea is probably the most independent of the Lane children. She's lived a life where her parents were always busy, and her brothers are old enough to be busy with lives of their own. She has learned if she wants to get anything done she's best off doing it herself, and although she appreciates help when it's offered, she will never dare ask as the last thing she wants is to be seen as a bother. Everyone's so busy... She'd hate for anyone to have to sacrifice their precious time just for her sake. She's got two good legs, so she can use them herself.
PERCEPTIVE Rhea is an incredibly bright young lady who is wise beyond her years. She may not apply herself like she should in school, thus she doesn't quite reach her potential in terms of grades, but she is excellent in social situations. She can read people well and adjusts herself accordingly to easily converse with each individual. She's also a great person to go to for advice as she wants nothing more than to help.

Do you believe in magic? In a young girls heart How the music can free her Whenever it starts
Muggleborn | Unsorted First Year | Eleven Years Old ✏Sorting Ceremony 2045✏Great Hall✏With:Students ✏Wearing:School Robes✏Status:Slightly Overwhelmed
June had thought the Platform was bizarre enough, but upon taking in the astounding sight that was the Great Hall, she realized she was in for quite the culture shock. Was all of this real? She had to pinch herself to be sure she wasn’t dreaming. ‘Ow!’ No, this was reality. ‘Unless I’m feeling things in my dreams…’
She stuck as close as she could to her twin, gripping on to the shoulder of his sleeve to be sure not to lose him in the crowd of first years that were asked to stand and wait to be sorted into their houses. Juniper didn’t understand a lick of what was going on, but it seemed the houses were the answer to her color question. The first students gone and sure enough as they were placed into their respective houses, their hoods and crests changed into that of their new residencies: Red for Gryffindor, Green for Slytherin, Blue for Ravenclaw, Yellow for Hufflepuff. Lions, Snakes, Eagles, and Badgers. History had never been her favorite, but she couldn’t wait to learn the stories behind all of this!
Joshua had been called upon first. Juniper cheered for him as he was sorted into his house, but as her name was called and she made her way to the peculiar hat herself, the harsh probability that she would be separated from her brother set in. Who was going to look after him? Who was going to protect him? Would he make friends? Would she make friends? ‘I think I need to sit down…’
She blinked, then came back down to Earth as she slowly realized she had been simply standing idly in front of the stool, lost in thought.. ‘Oh.’ June flushed and muttered an apology. ‘Right. I… Actually need to do that.’
Before she knew it, it was just her and the hat.
DUTIFUL Although she’d much rather be lazing in a hammock with a good book, Juniper was taught on the farm that there will be plenty of time to relax once the job is done. As such she has never been one to procrastinate, and instead makes a point of carefully managing her time so that she will be able to evenly balance her work and play so that she isn’t stressing to meet a deadline at the last moment like some of her peers.
ABSENT-MINDED June mind has a tendency to wonder when left to her own devices. She often walks into rooms just to forget what she was doing, and when working will drift between multiple tasks at once as she can’t maintain focus on one thing for long unless she’s putting forth tremendous effort. When doing chores at home, she is sometimes tricked by her brother into doing his part as well, as when she attempts to help him she will often start daydreaming and doesn’t realize he’s run off until the work is completed, much to her annoyance.
FREETHINKER She may be spacey, but she’s certainly not naive. Juniper is a bit of a skeptic and will not always believe the words of a stranger or those in authority if she spots any sort of contradiction. She prefers to find the answers to her questions on her own with her own research instead of blindly listening to the explanations of others. If she is not satisfied with something, she will do everything she can to uncover the full truth, even if it involves taking some risks.
APPREHENSIVE Juniper isn’t necessarily afraid to take a risk, but she does prefer to avoid danger and confrontation when at all possible. She is very cautious, and with her vivid imagination is able to come up with several ways a scenario could go wrong or why she shouldn’t trust a strange man peddling watches on the streets during city trips. Thanks to this she often finds herself worrying over her more courageous brother or any adventurous friends, tagging along just to be sure there’s someone to call for help in case someone gets hurt.
RESERVED To outsiders, June recognizes that she may come off as cool and aloof. It’s not intentional, it’s just for her she would rather spend her time alone or amongst those she is already closely bonded too, as socializing with new people can be tedious and exhausting for her introverted nature. She tends to keep her feelings to herself unless directly asked, in which case she will willingly express herself without mincing words. She can be tactless, but she feels speaking openly and honestly is more important, even if it can lose her a potential friend. If they can’t handle her as she is, why should she waste her time, anyway?
CHEEKY Typically serious, June does have a bit of a silly streak when she’s amongst family and friends. She loves to play games and share jokes but is especially fond of wordplay, be it puns or witty remarks. Once she had learned from her purchased text books many spells had a Latin origin, she took it upon herself to learn some Latin words and phrases in case they would come in handy to play tricks on her future classmates… Or to have a way to curse in front of her parents without a slap on the wrist.

OOC: Sorry Mia. orz Edited.
And it's magic If the music is groovy It's makes you feel happy like an old time movie I'll tell ya about the magic It'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock n roll
spaceRoland still wasn't sure how he felt about this whole thing. It didn't help that his last name started with a 'B', so he didn't have very long to bask in the weirdness before his opinion became a moot point. Oh, Ivy and Vio and Joel had all warned him, sure, but that didn't really prepare a person for... for all of this. The train ride was normal, mostly, and riding across the lake had been unusual, especially with the self-propelling boats that didn't have any sort of mechanical engine, but not too out of the ordinary overall. This, though. The castle itself was intimidating, the ceiling looked like the bloody sky outside, like literally exactly like the sky, and there was a singing bloody hat that was apparently going to tell him which dorm to go into? Bizarre. He'd been sort-of living in the magical world for a few years now, granted, but Ivy and Vio didn't use a whole lot of magic at home. Nothing like this. This was insane.
spaceWhen his name was called, he hesitated; there was still a small part of him that didn't even want to be here. That thought being here, sitting on that stool and being sorting into a house and attending the actual school, was something he could never come back from, something that would ruin everything. Oh, his father tried. But he'd seen what magic had done to Ivy's relationship with the man. He hadn't even met his own sister until his own magic had manifested and necessitated it. Now here he was, at the magic school, readying to learn magic... Did he even really want this? He didn't think he had much of a choice, which didn't seem particularly fair. He frowned as he sat on the stool, hoping this part, at least, was over quickly. He had a lot of attention on him right now and didn't like it one bit.

SOFT-SPOKEN xxx»» Roland is a quiet child, which is a far cry from what he was like as an infant. Somewhere around age four, he suddenly withdrew into himself. Not in a bad way, necessarily, it just became apparent that he wasn't particularly keen on talking overmuch. When he does speak, he chooses his words carefully, and rarely raises his voice. He's not exactly timid, but he's certainly cautious with how he speaks to others.
CURIOUS xxx»» Roland likes to explore things, to read and to study and to observe. He has trouble focusing on any one thing in particular because there's always something else to capture his attention. He tries to absorb everything, but the sheer magnitude of the things he finds interesting overwhelms him. His memory is somewhat faulty as a result, and he frequently gets himself confused and flustered when he realizes he'd forgotten something he deems important.
FUNNY xxx»» Roland discovered at a very early age that he likes to make people laugh. In his early years, he found it easy and exceptionally gratifying to earn a chuckle simply for being cute and making a mess. He was always careful to act out in ways that earned him a laugh rather than a punishment. As he's gotten older, he's learned the value of puns and funny riddles, though he often fails at properly delivering the punchline. Still, for a child of seven, even the attempt can manage to make someone snicker a little, if only to indulge him and reward him for his efforts.
ACTIVE xxx»» Roland doesn't like to be still, unless he has a book in his hand. Even while watching the telly, he's often standing on his feet, imitating the battles his favorite heroes are engaged in. When not occupied with either of these activities, he likes to run, or climb. It was only through sheer luck that his mother discovered he likes to play football, and thanked the heavens that there was something somewhat organized he could channel his energy towards.
KIND xxx»» Roland is a sweet boy, always quick with a compliment for a stranger on the street or to offer a helping hand, even if he's really too small or too young to actually be much help. He enjoys making other people smile. He also has a penchant for bringing stray animals home, which would be quite fine if they were only cats and the occasional small dog, but he's not above bringing a snake in from the backyard 'because it's lonely'. If he had his way, his room would be a small zoo, filled to bursting with all the creatures he'd collected.
ADAPTABLE xxx»» Roland doesn't worry overmuch about the status quo, and as such is quite capable of dealing with things when it is suddenly altered. Some changes, those he doesn't much care for, are met with a bit of crying and perhaps a small fit, but for the most part he accepts them and moves on. He's a very optimistic child, and firmly believes things are going to work out for the best, even if he doesn't like how things are going at the moment.
