How would your character fit in to each House? Gryffindor: Rua can be exceptionally brave in some ways, but usually not in the reckless way that Gryffindor's tend to be. (However, if looking for new magical knowledge to obtain, all bets are off, and Rua may end up doing things that even your average Gryffindor may be impressed by.) She has no interest in heroics or chivalry, especially since these qualities to draw even more of the attention that Rua tries so hard to avoid. Rua can get along well enough with Gryffindors as long as she isn't expected to be a leader or anything. If someone else is leading the proverbial charge, Rua is happy to provide backup. He clever sarcastic remarks are also very useful in dealing with the house rivalry with Slytherins. Hufflepuff: Rua can definitely be hard-working, willing to spend absurd amounts of time and effort on a project that interests her. She is also very patient, knowing that it is often times the only way to find out what she needs to know. However, these two qualities seem to be the only Hufflepuff traits she has. Even then, her work-ethic drops considerably when being asked to help with chores, and her patience is definitely much shorter when dealing with the mundane aspects of life. She is not very friendly and is prone to keeping secrets, and would be a rather dark cloud amongst the otherwise cheery Hufflepuffs. Any "friendships" that Rua has with a Hufflepuff will likely involve the 'puff dragging Rua to various events and gatherings, either for "her own good" or because of an obliviousness to Rua's sour disposition. Ravenclaw: Rua has many Ravenclaw qualities. She is an avid learner, often losing herself to her books for days at a time if she can get away with it. She is unusually wise for a girl her age, usually thinking of the most reasonable solutions when other students want to do something rash or dumb. He wit is sharp, as she will likely display in a sarcastic manner if being pestered. Finally, she has the intellect of a Ravenclaw, picking up new knowledge very quickly and being able to remember an impressive amount of information after hearing or seeing it once. Rua loves things that make her think, and the one type of person she gets along with at least somewhat are deep-thinkers. She rarely would have trouble getting through the doors to Ravenclaw, thinking of most of the puzzles as "child's play" by this point. Ravenclaws are the students that Rua is most likely to befriend in Hogswart. Rua does not seem to notice social oddities, and if one can keep up with her in a conversation about arcane theory, then they are at least okay in her book. Slytherin: Rua does have some strong Slytherin qualities as well. She was originally trained by a dark witch, and has not given up her interest in dark magic. She trusts very few people, and is generally a bit misanthropic. She is rather clever, often thinking of unique solutions to problems and tricks that hadn't occurred to anyone else. Finally, she is a pureblood witch (though she honestly doesn't care much about such things and thinks Slytherins are a bit dense to be so concerned about it). However, Rua also has qualities that would make her a very poor Slytherin: She is not ambitious, as she really cares about very little in the mortal world besides knowledge. She certainly is not a strong leader, either, completely lacking the empathy or charisma needed for such things. Finally, Rua is not at all interested in the whole bloodline ideal, and is not likely to take anyone's side based on such matters.
