spaceDixie Lynn was ready to crawl out of her skin by the time her name was finally called. Patience was not a virtue she was in possession of by a long shot, and she'd been waiting basically her whole life for this. She'd especially been waiting a year, to almost the minute, because she should have been here last year with her brother, dammit! She practically closed the distance between herself and the stool in a single leap in her eagerness to finally, finally, get sorted. Once she had a house, she was oh-fish-al-lee a Hogwarts student, thanks very much, and she was more than ready. Plopping herself down (perhaps a little too hard; the stool creaked under the force of it), she twitched as she waited for it to be lowered onto her head. This shouldn't take long, she thought. She didn't think she'd be hard to sort, really. Then again, maybe it would surprise her, she thought, nose wrinkling in amusement. Maybe she'd end up somewhere she never would've expected. What an adventure!

HYPER xxx»» Dixie Lynn has a lot of energy. So much so that it's hard to figure out where it all comes from. From sunup to sundown she is going, going, going, and anything that forces her to stop is unacceptable. She doesn't seem to have an off switch so much as a pause. She can sit still and be quiet when she needs to, but the aftermath usually results in her running laps or doing cartwheels to let off the excess she built up during that period. Having her in a small, enclosed space for too long is enough to drive her batty.
ENTHUSIASTIC xxx»» When Dixie is interested in something, she's all in. She's liable to become an overnight expert on something that catches her attention, and will spend the next day talking the ears off of anyone who'll listen about it. This principle applies to her hobbies, her studies, and her friends. She's the person who'll remember something you mentioned offhandedly to her once, six years ago, and will surprise you by remembering it on your birthday.
CAPABLE xxx»» Dixie was taught from birth to always look out for herself. Not because she can't rely on others, but because it's important to be able to rely on yourself when they're not there. She's good at solving her own problems, and rarely has to ask for help. Unfortunately, when she does need help with something, she'll often stubbornly refuse to ask for it. She tends to instead find a less-than-perfect solution that she can accomplish on her own. Sometimes this works out alright, but sometimes she ends up having to backtrack and do it over again.
MOTIVATED xxx»» What Dixie wants, Dixie intends to get. She doesn't care how hard she has to work for it, what she has to endure, if it's important to her, she's going to figure it out. She suffers a fair bit from tunnel-vision, often forgetting what other things are important in the face of something she thinks needs to be done. It's incredibly hard to distract her from whatever task she's on.
COMPETITIVE xxx»» Dixie likes to win. A surefire way to get her interested in something is to make it a competition. Who can run the fastest, who can catch the most fish, who can finish the book first, etc. It's certainly something her parents have abused in order to get her to do things they want. They're not above turning something into a game to get her involved. If she can beat her brother at it, all the better. The downside being that, if she loses, she tends to challenge him to a rematch and won't let it go until she wins.
HONEST xxx»» Saying that Dixie values the truth is a bit of a stretch; it's more that she has no verbal filter. She tends to say whatever is on her mind, consequences be damned. Also, lying is complicated, and she doesn't see the point in doing it. It's much easier to remember the truth, so she doesn't bother with lying. It's something of a blessing and a curse. She gets in plenty of trouble because she's always the first to admit she did something wrong. But, because people value honesty, her punishment is usually slackened, if not forgotten about altogether, since she was honest about it.
Quote:
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... It would be quite the adventure, wouldn't it? And I can see you've been awaiting this moment for a while, Well, I shan't have you wait much longer... Gryffindor!
spaceNorah was glad her last name started with a B, because it meant she was one of the first people to be sorted. She was not the most patient of people, and she'd been waiting literally her whole life for this exact moment. She was already practically buzzing with energy when her name was called, and had to force herself to walk at a reasonable pace towards the stool. Not that she was worried about appearances; she just had a tendency to trip a lot when she ran. It was why she preferred flying, really; she never tripped on a broom. How would you even do that? She supposed if you let your legs hang, you could fly too love over something and hit it-! Oh, that would hurt. That would hurt so much.
spaceShe realized, after a second, that she'd full on stopped walking to the hat in order to contemplate this. Shaking her head, Norah finished the embarrassingly short trek she'd failed to make in one go, and plopped herself onto the stool with all the grace of a drunken bumblebee. Once it was snug on her head, though, her thoughts went flying. She knew it was telepathic, how did that work? How old was it, really? Did it actually know? Could it recognize the passage of time? How sentient was it, exactly? Was it basically a person? Was it channeling the ghosts of the founders? Had the magic that created it ever been recreated? Was there, like, a hidden secret scroll somewhere in the school, upon which was written the instructions on how it'd been created? Or had the founders never written it down, sworn one another to secrecy, and taken it to the graves? Wasn't one of the ghosts related to one of the founders? She'd ask. She could do that, right? Was that rude-
CREATIVE xxx»» Norah has an extremely vivid imagination, and a drive to put that imagination to use. She is never not working on some project, to varying degrees of success. She has her own sense of style and aesthetic and doesn't much care for convention. She's prone to shopping at thrift stores, buying the things no one else will look twice at, and finding ways to alter and/or combine them to come up with an interesting look. She has a keen eye for color and can never seem to settle on an artistic medium for her expression. If it exists, she wants to recreate it in paint or chalk or clay. If it doesn't exist, she will use those same materials to try and make it exist.
DISTRACTABLE xxx»» It's very hard to keep Norah's attention on any one project for long. She tends to flit between things with little to no care for what she's abandoning. She's the queen of turning in half-finished assignments that showed a lot of promise, if she'd bothered to complete them, and has mostly coasted through school on her teacher's good will. She's intelligent, but lacks follow through. All anything has to do to draw her attention is be new and shiny. Her passionate nature cannot be contained, and her room and much of her home are a disaster of half-finished paintings and sculptures and dresses.
LOUD xxx»» Norah struggles greatly with the concept of 'quiet.' She finds silence incredibly distracting, and usually needs some kind of music or white noise to keep herself from going insane. She claims she has overly sensitive ears, and can hear everything creaking and groaning and whispering around her if it's too quiet. If she needs to be her own source of noise, she will, constantly singing (quite loudly) to drown out all the little sounds. Her attitude also speaks for itself, both in her inability to shut up, and her clothes. She is determined to grab attention whenever and however she can, because nothing's better for keeping it from getting too quiet than a good conversation between friends.
UPBEAT xxx»» Norah's an exceptionally positive person. She tries to always look on the bright side, and is the first person to paste a smile on her face and point out the silver lining when something bad happens. It's very hard to get her down. She reasons that, life isn't going to make things easy for her, but she's sure as hell not going to make things easy for it, either. She's a fighter, bound and determined to be the change she wants to see in the world. If nothing else, she'll cheer up her friends by acting out and being silly to distract them from their woes.
QUICK-WITTED xxx»» Norah grew up listening to a lot of lawyer-speak, and knows very well how to twist and manipulate words to mean many things. She's not a mean person by nature, but she can be cutting when she wants to be. More often than not, she uses this power to be clever, coming up with puns that are equal parts funny and groan-worthy. She's also quite good at coming up with outside-the-box solutions to problems. Among her friends, she's well known for always being technically right, which she claims is the best kind. She's also an excellent debater, good at finding holes in other people's statements and using them to her advantage.
COMPETITIVE xxx»» Norah views defeat as a learning experience. She's not really in it to win it so much as she views winning as a sign that she's gained knowledge. She's always striving to try her best, to come at it from a new angle, to come up with an answer no one's ever come up with before. She likes to apply her creative and quick thinking to any and all situations. She's prone to declaring anyone who beats her at something to be both her rival and her mentor, seeing nothing as a sign of growth moreso than surpassing a master. Her qualifications for 'master' generally are just 'better than her', of course, and she's always looking for the next challenge.
Quote:
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Slow down, child! I can't answer all your questions right away, But I bet you can find answers in... Ravenclaw!
Juni was ready for this sorting. She'd heard about it, but hadn't had the opportunity to actually see it for herself. Nevertheless, she strode up to the stool and sat down, waiting for the hat to descend and decide which house she should go to.

Jordan was... rather nervous about attending school here. On one hand, it was a great adventure, on the other... he already missed his family. They were headed back to Norway, and he never felt further away. He adjusted his annoyingly formal clothes, looking around the huge room. There were people everywhere, though the students were divided into four long tables. There was also a long table at the front filled with adults, presumably professors and staff. Issuing a sigh, blue eyes looked skyward... and he was glad he did. Holy heck, the stars were up there! It was absolutely magical, and he wanted to know how it was done. It wasn't until his name was called that he looked away. He hurried to the front, sitting on the stool. Okay, what was next? The hat sat on his head, falling over his eyes. Now what? Was he supposed to.... do something?
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Cʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ: Jordan is insanely creative, mind always moving in wild directions to land him answers to questions, poetry, writing, or whatever he's working on. He usually has crazy methods, but they seem to work out well enough in the end.
xxxxx⇾Iɴᴠᴇsᴛᴇᴅ: Jordan's not a "leave it half finished" kind of person. If he starts something, he'll be certain to finish it. This also carries over to his hobbies, where he'll do his very best to learn everything or finish each task. He may have multiple projects, but you can always bet on him to complete them by their deadline... even if some of them are placed on himself.
xxxxx⇾Eᴍᴘᴀᴛʜᴇᴛɪᴄ: Jordan's a very sensitive person... emotionally, at least. He is always glad to hear his friends' thoughts, emotions, or whatever else... but he almost always matches the mood set. Don't expect him to be the "standing strong while everyone's weeping" kind of person, no, he's more likely to join in with the tears, but he'll offer hugs and promises to make it through together.
xxxxx⇾Intelligent: Thanks in part to his creative thinking, Jordan is quite smart. He loves studying and has a natural curiosity propelling him to learn as much as possible. He's always got a book somewhere, and often loves questioning friends with random trivia and factoids he'd recently learned.
xxxxx⇾Pᴇʀᴄᴇᴘᴛɪᴠᴇ: Typically in the emotional sense, Jordan's quick to notice peoples' moods so he can try to make them feel better if needed. He's also gotten really good at spotting things out of place, though that's mostly to his love of "find the difference" games.
xxxxx⇾Gᴜʟʟɪʙʟᴇ: Despite his intelligence, Jordan's high level of trust in his fellow mankind often gets him confused. Normally he can rationalize things, but most of the time he'll immediately assume the truth, rather than question.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Hm, a bit distracted there, were we? Not that I blame you, it's quite the sight Now then, you're obviously quite curious And bright, too! Well, then, you'll do well in 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.
xx✯ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I?Great Hall xxx✯ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ?Everyone!? xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ?Sorting Ceremony xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ?I wanna go back home xxxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's ᴍʏ Cᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ Mᴏᴏᴅ?Anxious
Simon was very much relieved to be away from the lake (mostly because some girl pointed him out of the crowd like he was a circus act), but being in the school made him anxious. They were surely about to be put in front of everyone to get sorted, meaning all eyes would be on him. And since his last name was Blake, there was a chance he'd be the first called up. He'd followed behind the crowd, hoping no one would really notice him much. Unfortunately, he felt a major surge of anxiety when the doors to the Great Hall opened.
Sure enough, the entire school was there. Why couldn't this be a private thing?! The currently denim-blue haired boy looked around frantically before finally locating his cousin amongst the sea of yellow. Just as soon as he'd started trying to calm down, his name rang out through the giant room. Looking over at Reggie once more, Simon shuffled quietly toward the front, trying desperately to make his hair a normal color, at least for a few minutes. He sat on the stool and felt the hat set upon his head, before it thankfully covered his eyes. "I'm not sure if you can hear me, but please put me somewhere I can be safe and quiet. Thank you, Mr Hat."
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Sʜʏ: Despite socialization and making friends, Simon rarely speaks aloud to anyone. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to learn so much as his name, thanks to his silence. Being in large crowds makes him panic, causing impulsive magic and general fear.
xxxxx⇾Sᴛᴜᴅɪᴏᴜs: Simon loves to learn, though usually it's in the form of reading. With people he's comfortable around, he'll ask all kinds of questions... and hopefully they can return the signs. He gets excited by new information, leading him to share it with people when he can.
xxxxx⇾Aɴxɪᴏᴜs: Simon has absolutely terrible social anxiety, and it is because of that that he rarely talks to people. When he does, he's incredibly awkward and quiet. He is quick to panic in social situations, and occasionally has full meltdowns.
xxxxx⇾Tɪᴅʏ: Simon likes to keep his spaces clean. He may drop things, but he is known to pick up his messes and put his things where they belong. If he's ever in a messy room, expect him to begin cleaning it to the best of his ability. He cannot stand messes.
xxxxx⇾Rᴏᴜᴛɪɴᴇ: Simon follows an incredibly logical thought process when he's able to do so. He always has a method to his plans and is set on following those plans. He likes making schedules so he knows exactly what's going on. Any new situations have the potential for disaster, and therefore, stress him out.
xxxxx⇾Qᴜɪᴇᴛ: Simon is an incredibly quiet child. He seldom speaks, and he's learned to move silently. He never wants to interrupt, so even if he's bleeding profusely, you can bet he'll stay silent until someone notices. He also communicates with non-verbal gestures rather frequently, including shrugs and uncomfortable glances.
Dwyn made sure to keep up though he had to almost jog to keep up! He got to catch his breath as they stood outside the Great Hall. Soon he would get sorted and then he could write to Dad what house he got. He like to get the same house Dad had but he was more concerned he would get the right one. Entering the Great Hall he was amazed by all the sights! Candles! Sky ceiling! Dywn did his best to see what he could but his blasted height made that hard. As other names got called he was trying to find a way to see. Suddenly his name was called. He had to excuse himself though the forest of legs and butts to get out of the group and to the stool. A bit of effort later and he was on the stool. The hat would have been a Helmet had it not caught on his ear. Hopefully the hat could still read his brain.
PRECISE Dwyn like things done just right. He likes the following steps exactly. He would prefer to take time to measure things to have exactness. He is quite the perfectionist CURIOUS Dwyn like learning new things or how things work. He like to read history books and manuals on how to build things. New knowledge is his most favorite thing SUSPICIOUS Dwyn assumes someone is hiding something. Is it good? Is it bad? Who knows. Until Dwyn knows he is hesitant to trust. Even then he tends to assume every friend has a secret they're not telling him. RESPECTFUL Dwyn thinks everyone deserves respect. Some more than others but as their alive and someone does care about them they deserve respect. He does this for animals as well. He hates seeing food especially meat wasted. SNARKYDwyn can be sarcastic and seem mean but he really just wants to have fun. Its not his fault someone takes it the wrong way! AMBITIOUS Dwyn works hard to get what he wants. Usually it knowledge, if he has his heart set on a book he is determined to find a way to get that book. If he finds juicy gossip he works to find more knowledge about it

Hariette was super excited. Not only was she finally in the castle, but she had a new friend. Once the teacher explained the sorting, they all walked into a huge dining area. As her dad had advised, Hari looked up at the beautiful night sky, gasping softly at the magical view. Next up they just had to wait for all the names to get to N (luckily they'd put Nakano first or it'd be an even longer wait!). After what felt like forever, her name was called out and she practically ran to the front. Once she was sorted, she'd have to remember to write letters to pretty much everyone she knew.... but that could probably wait for tomorrow.
Sitting upon the stool, Hari gasped in surprise when the hat fell over her eyes. "Hello there, Sorting Hat! Please put me somewhere fun where I can make lots of friends. It would be super great!" Honestly, she'd be fine anywhere. She knew her parents would be proud regardless, but she wanted somewhere that would make herself proud too. Hopefully the sorting hat would agree with her request...
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Iɴǫᴜɪsɪᴛɪᴠᴇ: Hariette loves to ask questions and try to learn about the world. Just about her favorite word is "why". She is constantly trying to learn how things work, even if it seems a bit annoying.
xxxxx⇾Cʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ: Hariette loves to draw and color, despite not being particularly good at it. Her pictures are usually just wild colors that she enjoys. She also loves making up stories and telling tales.
xxxxx⇾Lᴏᴠɪɴɢ: Hariette adores hugs and attention from those she loves. More than just seeking it out, she loves to shower people in affection in any way she knows how.
xxxxx⇾Cʜᴀʀᴍɪɴɢ: Hariette has discovered she's able to get what she wants by flashing the sad eyes or an innocent little smile. Sure, it so-far only works on her family, but she's able to use her charm to manipulate situations to her advantage most of the time.
xxxxx⇾Dʀᴀᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ: Hariette has learned that if she’s dramatic enough, people pay her attention. She’s figured out crocodile tears and other such things. On top of that, she loves to keep people’s focus on her, so she’ll go over the top.
xxxxx⇾Iɴᴛᴇʟʟɪɢᴇɴᴛ: Hariette is quite intelligent for her age. She’s found herself skilled at things like wooden puzzles and riddles. She’s not good at some forms of typical “intelligence” but then again, she’s only young.
❅ "Mattie" ❅ Matilda Rose Harper ❅ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xxxxxxxxx

Mattie had done it! She had begun a friendship! She was sure of it. Mattie was so happy she had approached Hari and happier she turned out to be a lovely person. Maybe her old classmates just sucked and that was the problem. Though she hung close to Hari, she made sure to wave to her brother at the Hufflepuff Table.
As she approached the fate deciding hat (just what she needed objects forcing her into a box of expectations too), she went through the houses as Eden had described them. His house, Hufflepuff was for loyalty. Gryffindor was for Bravery. Ravenclaw was for Intelligence. Slytherin was for Ambition. Mattie felt that most good people had a bit of all those traits in them or should have it.
When the name "Matilda Rose Harper" was called, head high, with perfect military posture she approached. Sitting on the stool, hands folded in her lap she waited. Though she was bemoaning the 'objects' power to put her into a box of expectations only a minute earlier, Mattie was not stupid. She did respect the hat's authority and power. Her thoughts were a swirl of chaos while one stood out the most, "Sir - or Ma'am - I know this is a bit unorthodox to ask anything of you, but please can you be so kind and help ensure I am placed where I can have the most freedom. The freedom to be me and maybe even save the world on my own terms?"
She also wondered what the Sorting Hat that could hear her thoughts could make sense of the chaos that cluttered her head so often. If she could ever get a one-on-one session with the Hat she'd be sure to ask.
꧁Personality꧂
LOYAL Mattie argues that it is impossible to not be loyal with her family. She is willing to sacrifice herself in order to protect the greater good and bring pride to her country, family, and friends (if she can finally make some).
BUBBLY Mattie is a bundle of energy, full of ideas, dreams, and ambitions to the extreme that she often cannot materialize much of her brilliance. Alas, there is only so much time in the day!
PRIDEFUL Mattie works hard, very hard, to accomplish what she has and she will see someone doubt her work and perseverance over her dead body. She might be clever but that doesn’t mean she has to work harder just to show it on paper.
IMPULSIVE Despite being a part of a family of structure and following orders, given her own freedom she is quick to act on the first great (or “great”) idea she encounters. She lacks the fear to back down from a challenge and that very much includes following her heart before her logic.
STRUCTURED CHAOS Mattie craves and needs structure to thrive, and yet she wants to destroy every bit of controlling force in her life. She is most often reliable and steady of character, but her personality waivers with spots of extreme anger, annoyance, and moodiness.
Bristol was excited. After what seemed like forever, he and his brother had finally made it to Hogwarts. Next up was the sorting, then a big dinner. He turned his focus on the sky, eyes going wide at the sight of the countless stars above. He nudged his twin, ever thankful he weren't here alone. After only a few names, his was called up. Bee walked to the stool and sat, letting the famed sorting hat fall over his eyes.
"Hello, Sorting Hat! Please put me somewhere with my brother. I don't want to do this all alone."

Caden Eldred Clarisse ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Unsorted First Year Pureblood ◈ Eleven Years Old ◈ Twin
◈ Location : Great Hall - Sorting 2051
Caden was looking forward to this very moment all day. Though the boat ride was rough on his twin, they'd gotten to the castle in one piece. Standing front and center in front of the whole school with a night sky overhead. He glanced over as his twin nudged him. Smiling over at him, he was glad to have him there. It was way better then experiencing it alone.
It wasn't long before, their names were called. Bee went first he smiled as he waited for the results. All Caden hoped for was that he wouldn't be in Ravenclaw, way too many books in that common room. Kay wanted to follow in their father's footsteps. Though, he also wanted to be with his brother.
When it was his turn, Caden walked up and took a seat on the stool. 'I wouldn't mind being a Gryffindor but I also wouldn't mind being with my brother. Just so long as it isn't Ravenclaw.' He thought to himself hoping that at least some of his wishes would turn out.
◈ Status : Excited! ◈ Company : My brother, other first years... An old hat.
◈ OOC : - - -

■ BRAVECaden is not one to let fear stop him. If he’s got his mind made up on something there is no stopping him. He’ll push through anything if it means getting farther. Course that doesn’t mean he still gets scared or tries to avoid the things that scare him. If he can help it, he’ll put some distance between himself and the things that bother him (like the library). Course if there is no other way he’d push through somehow and get the job done. ■ CREATIVECaden isn’t creative in the traditional sense of being artistic. No, he’s creative in the literal sense that he loves coming up with pranks. His mind is always working on something new that has hopefully never been done before. He loves to come up with inventive ideas that will throw a wrench into the mix. Anything to keep people on their toes. ■ FOCUSEDCaden has a deep focus when it comes to things of interest. If he’s got an idea in his head, he wouldn’t stop until he gets it right. He can prove to be stubborn when it comes to his plans and not much can stop him. The same can be said for a subject he’s taken an interest in. Caden isn’t always all jokes and trouble, he can be subject oriented as well. Though, school isn’t largely his thing. ■ PROTECTIVECaden has a protective side when it comes to his family. Though he loves to pull pranks on them, he’ll do anything to keep his family from harm. This is especially evident with his twin brother whom he would gladly get into a fight with anyone who tried to mess with him. No one messes with his family but him. ■ ADVENTUROUSIf there is one thing Caden loves more then pranking it’s going out and exploring. He loves going on adventures especially with his twin brother. He’ll spend all day out and about, most likely getting into trouble. Either way, it’s a good time and something to do that doesn’t involve sitting around. Nothing beats the unknown.

Simon was very much relieved to be away from the lake (mostly because some girl pointed him out of the crowd like he was a circus act), but being in the school made him anxious. They were surely about to be put in front of everyone to get sorted, meaning all eyes would be on him. And since his last name was Blake, there was a chance he'd be the first called up. He'd followed behind the crowd, hoping no one would really notice him much. Unfortunately, he felt a major surge of anxiety when the doors to the Great Hall opened.
Sure enough, the entire school was there. Why couldn't this be a private thing?! The currently denim-blue haired boy looked around frantically before finally locating his cousin amongst the sea of yellow. Just as soon as he'd started trying to calm down, his name rang out through the giant room. Looking over at Reggie once more, Simon shuffled quietly toward the front, trying desperately to make his hair a normal color, at least for a few minutes. He sat on the stool and felt the hat set upon his head, before it thankfully covered his eyes. "I'm not sure if you can hear me, but please put me somewhere I can be safe and quiet. Thank you, Mr Hat."

xxxxx⇾Sʜʏ: Despite socialization and making friends, Simon rarely speaks aloud to anyone. It takes a long time and a lot of effort to learn so much as his name, thanks to his silence. Being in large crowds makes him panic, causing impulsive magic and general fear.
xxxxx⇾Sᴛᴜᴅɪᴏᴜs: Simon loves to learn, though usually it's in the form of reading. With people he's comfortable around, he'll ask all kinds of questions... and hopefully they can return the signs. He gets excited by new information, leading him to share it with people when he can.
xxxxx⇾Aɴxɪᴏᴜs: Simon has absolutely terrible social anxiety, and it is because of that that he rarely talks to people. When he does, he's incredibly awkward and quiet. He is quick to panic in social situations, and occasionally has full meltdowns.
xxxxx⇾Tɪᴅʏ: Simon likes to keep his spaces clean. He may drop things, but he is known to pick up his messes and put his things where they belong. If he's ever in a messy room, expect him to begin cleaning it to the best of his ability. He cannot stand messes.
xxxxx⇾Rᴏᴜᴛɪɴᴇ: Simon follows an incredibly logical thought process when he's able to do so. He always has a method to his plans and is set on following those plans. He likes making schedules so he knows exactly what's going on. Any new situations have the potential for disaster, and therefore, stress him out.
xxxxx⇾Qᴜɪᴇᴛ: Simon is an incredibly quiet child. He seldom speaks, and he's learned to move silently. He never wants to interrupt, so even if he's bleeding profusely, you can bet he'll stay silent until someone notices. He also communicates with non-verbal gestures rather frequently, including shrugs and uncomfortable glances.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... I hear you just fine, my child Safe and quiet, eh? Those two aren't mutually inclusive, you know How about safe and accepted? Safe and comfortable? I think that'll suit you just fine, hm Hufflepuff!
