Isolde waited, impatient witht he whole sorting and wanting to have her turn already. She already knew where she was going to go. She totally did! She was going to be going to her mum and dad's house. Obviously. She didn't care what Loke had said about her dad hating Gryffindor. He had to be lying. After all, how could Luke hate the house he went to? It made no sense to her. She waited until her name was called, and when she finally sat down and the hat was lowered onto her head, she smirked and thought really hard at the thing, 'Now listen up! I know you're going to sort me. I already know where, too. Let's just cut to the chase and call out Gryffindor, hrm?'

◊ BLUNTIsolde is blunt. She will give her opinion, no matter what it is and no matter if it will hurt or not. She doesn't like holding her tongue, and doesn't care if people don't like what she says. She just figures she's telling it like it is. ◊ INTELLIGENTIsolde is highly intelligent. She can figure out a lot of problems, and work out solutions with ease. She also happens to be able to figure out with relative ease other people, though she does get things wrong at times. ◊ JEALOUSIsolde does have a jealous streak. If someone gets something or is able to do something that she can't get or can't do, she ends up disliking the whole situation and making her displeasure known. While her family's tried to mitigate this, they've had limited success. ◊ LOYALIsolde is extremely loyal, which is ironic considering her envious nature. She's heard tales growing up about her parents and various aunts and uncles, and understands that good friends and family are hard to come by. As a result, she will step in and defend them if she feels she has to. ◊ STUBBORNOnce she sets her mind to something, Isolde is extremely stubborn. A combination of her high intelligence, her loyalty, and her jealousy don't exactly make this easy to deal with, either. Once she's made up her mind about something, she refuses to let it go. ◊ SNEAKYIsolde has learned from her various aunts and uncles (and even her mum and dad, though they don't realize it) how to be sneaky. She figures it doesn't hurt to be able to get around easily without anyone knowing. She also happens to have the ability to manipulate people without their knowledge, though this isn't a guarantee it will always work.

Song Lyrics Here
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... So demanding! Let's see then You'd be quite surprised, not everyone is pleased with their placement They often grow to understand and accept with time Not always, but I hope you'll find yourself content in Slytherin!
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.
This little bit of stardust Keeps waking me up All in my head Tongue tied in knots Keeps shutting me up
R I A N C A S E Y M C L E L L A N PUREBLOOD │ UNSORTED │ FIRST YEAR
Rian was mostly so relieved to be done with the boat ride, that by the time they'd entered the castle, he was in his own little head space. He came out of his daydreams as they entered the Great Hall in a single file line, gazing up in open admiration for the night sky overhead. He knew it wasn't real, just an illusion, but it was still beautiful. When he finally tore his gaze away from it he made brief, shy eye contact with his aunt up at the professor's table, who looked so different in her formal hat and robes, as opposed the usual casual clothing he saw her in. Elsie smiled brightly and waved at him, causing him to flush all the more. Luckily, he'd composed himself by the time the Sorting got to the Ms, although nothing could prevent the spike of anxiety that went through him at having to walk up alone in front of everyone else when his name was called. Rian almost tripped over his own feet as he neared the stool, but managed to keep his balance. He just prayed this was over with very quickly.
OOC:
EXPRESSIVE xxx»» Rian may initially come off as quite reserved and quiet, even shy, but once you get to know him he can be very emotional and expressive with his feelings. If he trusts someone, he tries to be as open and honest with them as possible, and he hates to lie or mislead others. He may not speak much, but what he does speak is often eloquent and thoughtful.
ARTISTIC xxx»» Rian has always been a very artistic person. He loves photography, painting, drawing, music- anything that allows him to express himself. He has a big imagination and is very creative, often thinking outside the box. He's not afraid to try new things or make mistakes, and he doesn't care much about what anyone else thinks of him or his art.
SINCERE xxx»» Much like the rest of his family, Rian is a very honest and sincere person. He tries to be kind while still being genuine, and can't stand the thought of coming across as fake or patronizing. When he doesn't have something helpful or pleasant to say, he usually doesn't say much at all. He's the opposite of pretentious or snobbish and prefers to speak directly about things.
MELANCHOLY xxx»» Rian is prone to being quite melancholy, or moody, as his mother might put it. It's not that he is in a depressed state; he just tends to take things to heart and can really dwell or brood on something like an argument for a long time. People are always asking him why he seems so sad or down on himself, but he's really just a pensive person who prefers to be alone with his thoughts.
METHODICAL xxx»» Rian is a very neat, methodical, and careful person. To him, everything has its place, and he can't stand mess or disorganization. He always thinks things through, preferring to plan it out in his head before he makes any moves, and he is very seldom impulsive or reckless. It's rare to see him overwhelmed or frantic about a project or busy schedule, because he likes to plan ahead.
OPEN-MINDED xxx»» Rian is a very accepting and open-minded individual. He's not one to judge or gossip about others, and he prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt. His parents taught him to treat others the way he'd want to be treated, so he genuinely tries to put himself in other people's shoes and not take things too personally, unless they're being pointedly hostile towards him.
Just let me out, I wanna run This little bit of stardust Keeps waking me up All in my head Mastered that much
spaceBy the time he got to the actual sorting, Austen was more than ready for it to be over. Nothing against the tradition of it all, or the hat. He was just cranky and hungry and wanted to eat and go to bed. So, he hoped like hell that the hat would sort him quickly. He couldn't be too complicated, right? He didn't think he was a very complex person, really. He just liked books. Not that he was shallow enough to assume that'd get him Ravenclaw automatically, but once the hat sorted that out, it couldn't be too hard to stick him somewhere. Somewhere not Gryffindor, he wagered. He wasn't enough like his dad or sister to end up in their house. Then again... Ugh. He had enough of a headache just from the day, he didn't need to make it worse thinking about this when he'd get his answer soon enough. When his name was called, he couldn't get to the stool fast enough. He just wanted to sit down and eat.
SOFT-SPOKEN xxx»» Austen isn't one to speak harshly or raise his voice. He doesn't talk much at all, really, and half the time no one notices when he does because he's so quiet. He has a hard time getting a word in edgewise, and learned at a young age not to bother most of the time. He only really makes an effort when he's correcting someone on something they're incredibly wrong about, because nothing annoys him more than people being misinformed.
INTELLIGENT xxx»» Austen inherited his mother's love of reading, and spends as much of his time possible doing just that. He's especially fond of mystery novels, which has given him rather good observational and problem-solving skills. Of course, sometimes he thinks he's a little better at these things than he actually is, and gets in over his head trying to fix things. Still, he's usually pretty good at piecing things together. He likes to approach things from all angles to get the best result.
CRANKY xxx»» Austen is the smallest person in a very, very busy household, and sometimes it can be a bit much on him. He's got a very low threshold for annoyance, and tends to be very withdrawn and irritable as a result. He's not prone to outbursts, but will rather frequently be found trying to hide from everybody else. He also tends to outright ignore people when he's annoyed at them, no matter who they are or what they want from him. He'll hold a grudge like nobody's business and expects to be apologized to sincerely before even considering forgiving the other person.
INTROVERTED xxx»» It's not that Austen doesn't like people exactly, he's just very selective about who he wants to spend time with. He finds most people to be incredibly exhausting, so he tries to limit time spent with them as much as possible. If he likes someone, he'll still usually restrict himself to only a couple of hours with them, because it takes him a while to recharge. There are very rare exceptions to this rule, and those people usually tend to be the sort he can sit in a room not interacting with and still feel like they've been hanging out.
EASILY BORED xxx»» Austen doesn't need to be active all the time, but his brain certainly does. He has trouble falling asleep at night because laying down to do nothing goes against everything in him. He's often caught with a flashlight and a book under his covers, because he can't stand to just do nothing. When he's not reading, he's usually thinking up elaborate stories in his own head. His waking hours are much the same, constantly seeking something to stimulate him mentally. He doesn't like things he considers too easy, and can be a bit of a snob when it comes to activities if he doesn't feel like he's being challenged.
STUBBORN xxx»» Austen doesn't know when to quit. He's not one to give up on things, and will hold his ground firmly when challenged. While he's not one to start a fight, if he feels the need to get involved in one he's going to see it through. He waits until he feels that he's been well-informed before he forms an opinion about anything, so getting him to change his stance can be a hard fight. He usually trusts what he's read more than he does what a person says, unless the person in question is a recognized expert on the subject at hand, or the material to read from is extremely biased.
You let your 𝔣𝔢𝔢𝔱 runᗯ𝕀Ĺ𝔻 𝓣𝓲𝓶𝓮has𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖 as we all go dₒwₙ Yeah but for the ϝαʅʅ—oh, ᎷᎩ— Do youDΛЯΣ to look themr̷i̷g̷h̷t̷in the eyes?
Tori walked up to the sorting hat when his name was called and sat down on the stool. He wasn't really sure how he was supposed to feel about the sorting. He didn't really know much about the houses beyond what his new friends had told him, and he wasn't sure if he was supposed to be worried about getting one house or another. He just hoped he was sorted with his friends.
With a deep breath she closed her eyes as the hat was plopped onto her head'Hello Mr. Hat... or are you a Mrs. Hat? Or maybe you're like me! Oh well hello. Please put me where you think I'll do best I guess.'
■ GENTLETori is above all else, gentle. He tries his best to only use force when absolutely necesarry and thinks his words can solve most problems. He is always picking up strays whether they be animal or human. He is positive that all his kind actions will be repaid eventually. Not that he does them for any repayment in the first place. He just believes if you put good into the universe good will be returned upon you. ■ QUIETTori is very quiet. She doesn't like to raise her voice and thinks that loud people are usually compensating for a lack of self-confidence. Being quiet doesn't mean she has low self esteem or that she is undeserving of being heard. She just believes that those who want to listen to her, will do so no matter how quiet she is. ■ SENSITIVETori calls herself an empath. She is very aware of the emotions of those around her and can easily get stressed out by negative energy in a room. She finds it difficult to be around negative emotions for long periods of time, but also feels the need to help those experiencing the negativity as much as she possibly can. In the same note, tons of positive energy can also wear her out from the opposite effect. Always being on, is as exhausting as fighting to not turn off. She prefers the company of those who can find a balance between both extremes. ■ CANDIDTori is honest to a fault. He is always as truthful as he can be without hurting feelings, and will never try to hide things he thinks are important for someone to know. He feels all his emotions honestly and openly, and is always willing to discuss problems instead of hiding them or ignoring them. ■ ALTRUISTICTori puts others before himself constantly. He prefers to make sure those he cares about are okay and healthy over himself and will put up with a lot of trouble if it means the happiness of his friends and family. Although he knows that allowing himself to be harmed isn't the best idea, he can't help but allow it to happen for the good of those around him. ■ LOYALTori loves fully and honestly. She will stand by her friends and family until the edge of despair and still not leave. Her support for those she cares about is unwavering no matter the cost or end game. Come hell or high water, Tori's friends can always count on her to be there for them with an open ear and whatever else they might need from her.

Kenna bounced up to the hat when her name was called and sat down on the stool. It was the moment she had been waiting forever for. Okay well not forever, but at least all day long, probably since she'd gotten her letter to Hogwarts. When the hat was placed on her head, she stared up at the brim of it with determination.'hello hat!' She thought grinning a little. She felt a little silly thinking to a hat, but she knew that the hat could read her thoughts and she thought it was best to always be polite to something that held her fate in its hands.
'My name is Kenna. My mum was in Ravenclaw and my sister was in Slytherin... but I'm sure you already know that. I sure hope you have a real good house for me. I gotta vibe with it you know?'
■ TRUSTINGMackenna has the ability to trust without question. She might come off as a little naive because of this, but she finds it's best to always look for the good in people. She has been protected from being hurt for most of her life, so has never seen a bad outcome from trusting easily yet. ■ SOCIALMackenna loves to be around people and gets easily bored and lonely when left to her own devices. She's a huge chatterbox and loves to meet new people, and make new friends. When she was little her mother had trouble keeping her from wandering off with anyone who was a bit nice to her. ■ SELFLESSBeyond anything, Mackenna will sacrifice a lot for the people she loves and cares about. Her happiness comes from the happiness of those around her, and she is willing to give up just about anything to make sure they are happy and safe. She would drop everything and go running if her friend called for help, and is always willing to give up her time and energy to help make something important happen for friends and family. ■RASHMackenna doesn't live by any sort of plan. She lives life on her whims and is perfectly okay with this too. In her mind planning things out to a tee only makes them boring. It is much more fun to fly by the seat of her pants and see what happens. ■ CURIOUSMackenna is very curious by nature. She loves puzzles and riddles, and any kind of strategy game. She has an aptitude for learning, and actually quite enjoys it too. She just prefers hands on learning, to reading a book or listening to a lecture. ■ TACTLESSMackenna is prone to speaking before thinking, and puts her foot in her mouth often. She just doesn't think about what could be seen as rude or unkind when it is something that is truthful. She's always thought the truth is better than any lie, even if the truth isn't always very nice. Unfortunately she also isn't very good at wording the truth in a good way.

Gaspard Felix Dufour ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unsorted First Year Pureblood ◈ Eleven Years Old
◈ Location : Great Hall ~ Sorting (2049)
Gaspard had prepared himself for the adventure ahead. Hogwarts was a new experience one he was looking forward too. Even with leaving home he was certain he could handle what school had to offer. After all it was only school. Sure, it was a magic school but that didn’t mean it would be any different then anything else he’d been through so far.
Taking the train all the way to Hogsmeade, Gaspard enjoyed the ride. The boat ride afterwards was pretty cool too. The whole castle in the distance may have had something to do with it. By the time he had gotten up close and personal with the castle that would be his home for seven years, Gaspard was stunned. There was going to be a lot of exploring in this place for sure.
Entering the great hall with the rest of the first years, Gaspard was excited and yet nervous for what was going to come down the pipe. Though the night sky was a nice distraction from some of the nervous jitters. Waiting for his name to be called, Gaspard took a deep breath. The D’s didn’t take to long to get there and before long he was walking up and taking a seat on the stool.
‘Put me where you’d like. I just don’t want end up like my father.’ Gaspard thought to himself. His father had been in Slytherin or so Gus could deduct from how controlling he was. If that were the case, he didn’t want to be there. Though part of Gus reminded himself that the house didn’t make the person. Or at least he hoped not.

■ CARINGDespite my father I am quite kind. I care for people friend or otherwise. I can be very sympathetic to the feelings of others, and truly have no problem trying to help. Though I know I can’t fix everything in the world I can certainly make someone’s world a little brighter. You really can’t say I’d intentionally hurt someone’s feelings as I wouldn’t dare hurt another person on purpose. If I did, I’d certainly try to make things right. ■ RESPECTFULI try to be unlike my father in every way. That means being respectful of other people. I would never hurt another person, verbally or physically. Putting myself above others isn’t something I like doing. I’m not any better than anyone else. Even if I’m good at something I’m not going to boast about it. I’m actually quite humble but don’t expect me to be a pushover. ■ BRIGHTMy mind is quick like a whip with understanding the things I see. I’ve come to be very observant to things around me. Though I wouldn’t say I have a sharp eye for everything I do notice things, perhaps some things I’m not supposed too. This carries over to me learning things. If I see it, I’m bound to pick up on it. Usually quicker then if I was just told what to do. ■ PROTECTIVEGrowing to be quite concerned for how others are treated, I’ve become quite protective. I don’t like seeing people suffering. If I witnessed someone treating another person badly, I’m going to say something. I’ll stand up for them. Someone should. One might even call me chivalrous when it comes down to it. Seeing my mum being mistreated sort of made me feel the need to protect others from the same thing. ■ BOLDIt takes a bold person to stand up for others especially those you don’t know. I’m not afraid to take the risk in helping someone. I’m fair from being heroic but I try to be as brave as I can be. I show confidence when it comes down to doing things. I certainly have the courage to figure things out and stand out with potential for being wrong. I’m not stupid but I’m not going to do nothing when I can do something. ■ LEVEL-HEADEDEven in the most insane circumstances I can be rather calm. Nothing really sends me over the edge, not even my parents’ deaths. Nothing came from panicking or getting over dramatic. When it comes to situations, I’m also sensible. I know what can and cannot be done. Perhaps it’s just being realistic. Wanting to help doesn’t mean doing the impossible. Though, I’ll try my best to figure out a way to help.

*★,°*:.☆(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★* 。The trip across the lake was allot more memorable for Viv that it maybe should have been. Seeing the castle for the first time had definitely been amazing but it was sorta put on the backburner as she retched on the side of the boat. She wasn't sure if it was all the sweets from earlier or actual sea sickness. The last time she was supposed to be on one she'd gotten in trouble and hadn't been allowed to attend. When she'd gotten her stomach together and stopped traumatizing her friends, they arrived at the shore and were then lead up to the castle. Finally, finally though, Viv was lead along with the rest and paraded in front of hundreds of other students to be virtually judged by a hat older than God. She took the short time leading up to her last name to prepare herself but she was still startled when her name was called and walked up towards the stool. Briefly she considered mentally yelling "LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" but she also considered it'd be rude, plus she really shouldn't try to get on the bad side of a hat that was about to sort her.

◊ PERCEPTIVEVivi makes sure to notice everything happening around her so she won't be caught off guard. One of the things she hates the most is being taken by surprise when she could've known about it sooner. ◊ ADAPTABLEDue to jumping around to different countries most of her childhood, she's very good at adapting to whatever situation is thrown her way. Whether it be climate or language barriers, she'll try her best to make her way through. ◊ CAUTIOUSAlong with noticing things, she's careful to avoid bad or unfavorable situations. Due to her adopted mother's offensive targeting, Vivi's used to being attentive and watchful for slight changes in someone's moods afraid of whatever outcomes to come her way. ◊ INSECUREEven though she no longer lives with them, the Delaney's unkind upbringing has her nearly constantly pointing out her shortcomings. She finds herself almost automatically correcting herself from her posture to even awkward stuttering and can be very hard on herself for the slightest of flaws. ◊ PRACTICALVivi understands that things can happen outside of her control and that certain things has limits. She doesn't always like that, but she knows and understands these limitations while also knowing that there are certain ways to either get around them or move these limits further along. ◊ DECISIVEShe stands firm in whatever beliefs she has and is usually very unwavering unless shown greater evidence than she could possibly disprove. Whatever decision she's made, she will stand behind it and can be hard-pressed to move from it.

Andy loved the train ride! Well other than getting a bit motion sick from watching trees go by too fast. He mainly bounced between compartments staying till he got kicked out. One let him change into his robes. Hopping off the train found himself in a sea of butts mostly older students he loomed for kids closer to his height and followed the tall teacher down to the river with some boats. He dipped his hand in the water as they went across the lake, hoping to see a merperson. Upon arrival he took a moment to get out of the boat before following the nice lady up to the great hall.
Upon entering Andy was so awestruck! Floating candles! Sky ceiling! And? An old hat….a old MAGIC HAT! It talks! Oh boy he would get to wear a magic hat! When his name was called he practically skipped to the stool and climbed up. I wondered if he could somehow keep the hat? Surely adventures with Mr Hat would be the best!

Lochi followed after everyone, feeling a bit lonely. So far, he hadn't talked to much of anyone, including on the train. Maybe it was just because he wasn't from the magical community? It just made him a little sad to see all the other people in their friend groups. Hopefully it wasn't too late to join... He stood on his tiptoes to try and see over the crowd while there was a nice little introduction, followed by an explanation of the evening. Their names began getting called, and it sounded like they were going alphabetically. Sure enough, his name was called rather quickly. He carefully hurried toward the front, sitting on the little stool. The hat lowered carefully upon his head, causing the boy to gasp in shock. 'I feel silly, but I hope this works. Please, tell me where you think I belong. It'll be nice.'
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Cʟᴇᴠᴇʀ: Lochi is really intelligent, though it usually manifests in quick ideas, helpful comments, and logical thoughts. Occasionally he's a bit ditzy, but he's really quite bright.
xxxxx⇾Iᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ: Lochi is full of wild ideas, from art to music to life itself. He thinks of things great and wide, often sharing his thoughts in crazy stories he creates on the fly.
xxxxx⇾Dᴇᴛᴇʀᴍɪɴᴇᴅ: Lochi is incredibly hard working, always trying to be his very best. He loves to study and learn so he can improve himself. He loves the challenges of life and enjoys coming up with solutions, if not always the right one.
xxxxx⇾Gᴜʟʟɪʙʟᴇ: Despite his smarts, Lochi isn't difficult to mislead. He trusts people completely, so the thought of manipulation and lying don't cross his mind. He fully believes people, no matter how silly their words sound.
xxxxx⇾Iᴅᴇᴀʟɪsᴛɪᴄ: Lochi has a daydream world in his head, and is often disappointed by reality. He tries to make things better, but sometimes it doesn't work out as planned.
xxxxx⇾Dᴇʟɪᴄᴀᴛᴇ: Lochi has a gentle hand and a soft spot for beautiful things, be it jewels or places or chocolate. He prefers staying indoors and helping out rather than running amok outside.

Calliope was quite excited to see where the night led. She had friends in Austen and Tori, and she felt pretty confident for the rest of the year. They took the boats, then a nice, starlit walk into the castle. Honestly, Callie felt like she could stay outside all evening and not be upset. Alas, she had to go inside with the rest, otherwise, she'd miss the sorting! Long hair swishing around her, the blonde moved in a floating dancy sort of walk. She always seemed to be floating, ever so slightly, but it was okay. She figured it was good for walking silently, if nothing else. Staying quiet was a skill she'd had to master while living with a vampire. It made it rather difficult to have any privacy otherwise.
Once in the massive hall... or maybe it was more of a ballroom... Callie looked up, her eyes catching the perfect reflection of the stars outside. It was the most amazing thing she'd ever seen, she was just sure of it. Her mind vaguely heard the teacher's introduction, but she had no ability to focus. What seemed like only seconds later, her brain registered her name being called. Looking over at the professor, Callie grinned sheepishly, hurrying up to the front. Taking her seat, the girl squeaked softly when her vision was changed. She felt her large glasses slide down her nose, though luckily not off. Was this it, then? "I wonder how this might work? Though, if it's anything near as magical as the sky above, I'm sure it'll be darling.
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Dʀᴇᴀᴍʏ: Calliope always has her thoughts tangled in some sort of dreamland. She has issues focusing on reality simply because her mind is always elsewhere. She often mentions tidbits from her daydreams as though they were part of reality, thus making her seem strange.
xxxxx⇾Sᴏꜰᴛ Sᴘᴏᴋᴇɴ: Calliope rarely speaks up for any reason, both because she's got a quiet voice and because she's pretty shy. She speaks in what seems like riddles when she does, usually taking odd routes to get to the point she's trying to make.
xxxxx⇾Cᴜʀɪᴏᴜs: Calliope loves to learn, though she prefers learning on her own, rather than in a question-and-answer scenario. She can often be seen trying to figure things out on her own terms, usually while humming.
xxxxx⇾Cᴏᴢʏ: Calliope loves to be warm and snuggly. She can often be found in small hiding places that she either discovered or created. Usually when no such spaces are available, she's tucked in a too-big sweater or has a blanket wrapped all the way around herself.
xxxxx⇾Dᴇʟɪᴄᴀᴛᴇ: Calliope is incredibly fragile, both physically - due to her thin, almost unhealthy physique - and mentally, since she spent her childhood in such odd circumstance. Harsh words or sarcasm have the power to hurt her far worse than they'd hurt anyone else, and teasing is a good way to get her to hide away.
xxxxx⇾Gᴇɴᴛʟᴇ: Thanks to being so terribly delicate, Calliope is also incredibly careful with the world around her. She keeps everything perfectly organized and often uses sweet, quiet words so as not to offend anyone. She is also careful with anything from nature, from trees to sticks so as not to upset the delicate balance of nature.

╔══════════════════════════╗ Jessica Quimby-Winthrop Unsorted - First Year - Eleven Years Old - Pureblood - Adopted ╚══════════════════════════╝
Jessica had been mostly quiet on the trip up to the castle, keeping to herself. Penelope ditched her early on, and just like how the majority of her life had gone, nobody else noticed her. However, since she was used to feeling rather invisible, it didn't bother her too much. At this point, she just hoped she wouldn't end up in Gryffindor with her cousin. Not that she would. Gryffindor was for the brave; the courageous. Jessica wouldn't fit in.
As her name was called, the first year held her head high as she walked up onto the podium, noticing all eyes on her. Of course they notice you now, you're getting sorted like all of the other first years, she told herself. Nobody is going to remember who you are once it's over. As the hat was placed on her head, she wondered where she'd be placed. With her limited knowledge about the houses, she thought Ravenclaw might be her best bet. But whatever it was, it was better than Gryffindor.
SAGEJessica is pretty wise for her age even if she does not necessarily show it. The reason why she may seem to be wiser than a lot of kids her age is due to the fact that she tends to think before acting at all times. HIGH-MINDEDJessica has strong moral principles, and although she is always learning, she knows what type of person she is and who she wants to be, and does not tend to stray. INVISIBLEGrowing up in an orphanage, she always felt like the other kids got more attention than her from potential adoptive parents. Maybe she wasn't as cute as the other girls, or as attention seeking as the boys, but whatever the reason, she always felt like nobody really even knew she was there. She felt that even after being adopted as a lot of babies had been born into the family, and they always got all of the attention. DECEPTIVEShe does not mean to do it, but she misleads others. She comes off as a lot more reserved and quiet (and dumber) than she truly is only because she has a difficult time competing with others. After all, what is the point of trying to prove she's better than others if she'd lose regardless? COLDSince she had been at the orphanage from a young age, she grew up playing alone a lot of the time. New kids would come and others would go constantly, and after a while of losing her friends, she decided she'd stop letting people into her life so easily. SUPERFICIALSince Jess had stopped making deeper connections with people, she only began to care about how others looked and how she looked as opposed to what was on the inside. Consequently, since she felt like other looked better than her, had nicer personalities or just stood out a lot more, she started to feel a little emptier on the inside.

The world comes to life and everything's bright From beginning to end when you have a friend
After a boat ride, Sallie was a little bit tired that he called it quits on socializing right now. Then again he was preoccupied taking the scenery of the castle, a very Arthurian medieval castle in his opinion. He's no expert, but he thinks someone must have died there in that seemingly grim castle exterior. On the other hand, the interior shattered that whole initial imagine. The ceiling was really breathtaking, with the night sky reflecting it. Sallie felt that this looked like it came out of the very cool RPG game, and for once he was quiet because he just wants to take it all in. Obviously, that means that he might have bumped into some first years, but that's okay. They'll probably forget about it.
The Sorting has started and Sallie was just curiously looking at the Sorting Hat but by the time the surnames for the letter 'H' were gonna get announced... Sallie went pale at the realization. Oh god, he's gonna-
"Houdini, Salvador."
"Mm yeah I thought so," Sallie muttered, turning red in embarrassment that he deadass thought that someone here is gonna ask questions about his surname. Oh god. Rian is gonna learn that his real name is Salvador, dear lord. It's times like these where he wished his surname is Copperfield, that would have been easier. He took a seat in the stool and got chills when the old lady put a hat on his head. 'What's in it for me in this House Sorting?' He wondered, 'Aside from the bed to sleep on, of course. Aunt Mary kept saying about how her house sorting gave her the best experience ever, tried to ask her this same question but she never answers it. Might as well ask a haunted hat.'
▶ SOCIABLE — He's a chatterbox, he would point at one thing at the train window and he'll talk about it for thirty minutes at least. Sallie doesn't seem to want to shut up unless he's in class, much to the entertainment or chagrin to his peers. On a funny note, he just really wants to basically say that he wants to say and he's perfectly fine with someone just quietly listening, but he would be happier with someone who has something to say as well. On a serious note, when provoked he won't hesitate to find a way to rip the provoker apart. At least.... that's the goal
▶ DRAMATIC — Sallie will be as dramatic as he please, and if anyone tells him other he'll just get more dramatic. He's dramatic in the sense that the way he reacts to things can be compared to stuff done in theaters like "Oh, Desdemona! You wound me!" and everyone can see that he intended to do that. Did he do that because he wasn't given attention at home? No, he's really just like that. Sallie just happens to not feel the need to wrap himself in silence added with the fact that he's talkative, and just acts how he wants to acts. No big deal.
▶ EASILY SPOOKED — For someone who is a big fan of spooky stories, much to the chagrin of his teachers, he is.... easily spooked when being caught off guard. He really just doesn't like being sneaked up from behind or just not shocked in general. He doesn't like dark places or the eerie sounds that would make him bump. This is mainly because everytime he gets spooked, it was a guarantee that he'll be made fun of, much to his chagrin. Yes, he likes reading spooky stories, but he doesn't like actually experience it.
▶ CURIOUS — Sallie is curious in a "Ohhh what happens next?" way, as he really doesn't care about being an honor roll student or any of that. All he cares about is how intigruing the situation he's present in was, especially as a muggleborn who has not seen the Wizarding World until he got the Letter. He finds more interest in dramatic real-life horror stories in written form, and much more so to ghost stories by his fellow classmates. School-wise, he doesn't care about the technicalities, it's simply whether it's entertaining or not.
▶ HUMOROUS — It's easy to make Sallie laugh, in fact he's always looking for an excuse for a funny scene worth wheezing for. Sometimes it was in the form of making fun of someone he doesn't like (and doesn't seem scared doing so. Hm.). Sometimes it's just reading a history and making fun of the already dead historical figures. He pretty much likes to try putting a bright perspective in stories that people would find odd to put, and really, Sallie just finds it fun to paint the picture.
▶ BLUNT — Sallie is honest... for his own good. Growing up he really didn't face the consequence of being honest to his dad, so as a result it ended up carrying it to the present. Sure, he does face consequences in school when tearing bullies apart with how he says things, but after that it's kind of clear that the "lesson" flew out from his ear. This includes snarking people, and sometimes he would go as far in bickering that only God knows how will that take him to Hogwarts.
spaceBy the time he got to the actual sorting, Austen was more than ready for it to be over. Nothing against the tradition of it all, or the hat. He was just cranky and hungry and wanted to eat and go to bed. So, he hoped like hell that the hat would sort him quickly. He couldn't be too complicated, right? He didn't think he was a very complex person, really. He just liked books. Not that he was shallow enough to assume that'd get him Ravenclaw automatically, but once the hat sorted that out, it couldn't be too hard to stick him somewhere. Somewhere not Gryffindor, he wagered. He wasn't enough like his dad or sister to end up in their house. Then again... Ugh. He had enough of a headache just from the day, he didn't need to make it worse thinking about this when he'd get his answer soon enough. When his name was called, he couldn't get to the stool fast enough. He just wanted to sit down and eat.
SOFT-SPOKEN xxx»» Austen isn't one to speak harshly or raise his voice. He doesn't talk much at all, really, and half the time no one notices when he does because he's so quiet. He has a hard time getting a word in edgewise, and learned at a young age not to bother most of the time. He only really makes an effort when he's correcting someone on something they're incredibly wrong about, because nothing annoys him more than people being misinformed.
INTELLIGENT xxx»» Austen inherited his mother's love of reading, and spends as much of his time possible doing just that. He's especially fond of mystery novels, which has given him rather good observational and problem-solving skills. Of course, sometimes he thinks he's a little better at these things than he actually is, and gets in over his head trying to fix things. Still, he's usually pretty good at piecing things together. He likes to approach things from all angles to get the best result.
CRANKY xxx»» Austen is the smallest person in a very, very busy household, and sometimes it can be a bit much on him. He's got a very low threshold for annoyance, and tends to be very withdrawn and irritable as a result. He's not prone to outbursts, but will rather frequently be found trying to hide from everybody else. He also tends to outright ignore people when he's annoyed at them, no matter who they are or what they want from him. He'll hold a grudge like nobody's business and expects to be apologized to sincerely before even considering forgiving the other person.
INTROVERTED xxx»» It's not that Austen doesn't like people exactly, he's just very selective about who he wants to spend time with. He finds most people to be incredibly exhausting, so he tries to limit time spent with them as much as possible. If he likes someone, he'll still usually restrict himself to only a couple of hours with them, because it takes him a while to recharge. There are very rare exceptions to this rule, and those people usually tend to be the sort he can sit in a room not interacting with and still feel like they've been hanging out.
EASILY BORED xxx»» Austen doesn't need to be active all the time, but his brain certainly does. He has trouble falling asleep at night because laying down to do nothing goes against everything in him. He's often caught with a flashlight and a book under his covers, because he can't stand to just do nothing. When he's not reading, he's usually thinking up elaborate stories in his own head. His waking hours are much the same, constantly seeking something to stimulate him mentally. He doesn't like things he considers too easy, and can be a bit of a snob when it comes to activities if he doesn't feel like he's being challenged.
STUBBORN xxx»» Austen doesn't know when to quit. He's not one to give up on things, and will hold his ground firmly when challenged. While he's not one to start a fight, if he feels the need to get involved in one he's going to see it through. He waits until he feels that he's been well-informed before he forms an opinion about anything, so getting him to change his stance can be a hard fight. He usually trusts what he's read more than he does what a person says, unless the person in question is a recognized expert on the subject at hand, or the material to read from is extremely biased.
Quote:
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... So you wish for this to be done quickly, I'll admit, sometimes it does take a bit to choose a house, In your case, however I think it will be easy, Better be... Ravenclaw!
This little bit of stardust Keeps waking me up All in my head Tongue tied in knots Keeps shutting me up
R I A N C A S E Y M C L E L L A N PUREBLOOD │ UNSORTED │ FIRST YEAR
Rian was mostly so relieved to be done with the boat ride, that by the time they'd entered the castle, he was in his own little head space. He came out of his daydreams as they entered the Great Hall in a single file line, gazing up in open admiration for the night sky overhead. He knew it wasn't real, just an illusion, but it was still beautiful. When he finally tore his gaze away from it he made brief, shy eye contact with his aunt up at the professor's table, who looked so different in her formal hat and robes, as opposed the usual casual clothing he saw her in. Elsie smiled brightly and waved at him, causing him to flush all the more. Luckily, he'd composed himself by the time the Sorting got to the Ms, although nothing could prevent the spike of anxiety that went through him at having to walk up alone in front of everyone else when his name was called. Rian almost tripped over his own feet as he neared the stool, but managed to keep his balance. He just prayed this was over with very quickly.
OOC:
EXPRESSIVE xxx»» Rian may initially come off as quite reserved and quiet, even shy, but once you get to know him he can be very emotional and expressive with his feelings. If he trusts someone, he tries to be as open and honest with them as possible, and he hates to lie or mislead others. He may not speak much, but what he does speak is often eloquent and thoughtful.
ARTISTIC xxx»» Rian has always been a very artistic person. He loves photography, painting, drawing, music- anything that allows him to express himself. He has a big imagination and is very creative, often thinking outside the box. He's not afraid to try new things or make mistakes, and he doesn't care much about what anyone else thinks of him or his art.
SINCERE xxx»» Much like the rest of his family, Rian is a very honest and sincere person. He tries to be kind while still being genuine, and can't stand the thought of coming across as fake or patronizing. When he doesn't have something helpful or pleasant to say, he usually doesn't say much at all. He's the opposite of pretentious or snobbish and prefers to speak directly about things.
MELANCHOLY xxx»» Rian is prone to being quite melancholy, or moody, as his mother might put it. It's not that he is in a depressed state; he just tends to take things to heart and can really dwell or brood on something like an argument for a long time. People are always asking him why he seems so sad or down on himself, but he's really just a pensive person who prefers to be alone with his thoughts.
METHODICAL xxx»» Rian is a very neat, methodical, and careful person. To him, everything has its place, and he can't stand mess or disorganization. He always thinks things through, preferring to plan it out in his head before he makes any moves, and he is very seldom impulsive or reckless. It's rare to see him overwhelmed or frantic about a project or busy schedule, because he likes to plan ahead.
OPEN-MINDED xxx»» Rian is a very accepting and open-minded individual. He's not one to judge or gossip about others, and he prefers to give people the benefit of the doubt. His parents taught him to treat others the way he'd want to be treated, so he genuinely tries to put himself in other people's shoes and not take things too personally, unless they're being pointedly hostile towards him.
Just let me out, I wanna run This little bit of stardust Keeps waking me up All in my head Mastered that much
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... "Over quickly" seems to be a popular sentiment Well, let's see then, hm? Such a vivid imagination! And intent to use it, eh? Let's see that creativity flourish in Ravenclaw!
