Lumos - the thing about Lumos is he's quite malicious. Which doesn't exclude him from Gryffindor, in fact that might be what pushes him into Gryffindor rather than out of, but the thing about him that might make him more Slytherin is the fact he's not afraid to "go dark" if necessary. He's insanely curious and he won't let a little something like rules or danger to stop him. He's attracted to the mysterious in a lot of ways because he has to know how it works and that's sort of where his pranks play in a lot there. So really I'm seeing at least three options for him, but my real thought is Slytherin for the moment. I might change my mind once I actually write his sorting form, because that's when various aspects of him will come out on paper. Certainly in my head he's Slytherin, but the translation isn't always that simple and sometimes other elements come into play with this. He's the kind of person who's fiercely loyal, but only to a point. He won't cover for you if he wants the attention you have, and though he loves his family unconditionally, he's not totally opposed to throwing them under a proverbial bus if you will. Still, this is only a prediction and I don't know for certain which of these elements are actually going to come out in play. I guess the thing here is that Lumos wants to be remembered, he wants to be a great wizard, but not in the same fame clawing way (sorry Gryffindors) as some of the others houses. He wants a legacy, something to leave behind, and that's what makes me feel like he might be in Slytherin. Still, we'll see! (I don't think I'll actually post this, but I'm enjoying writing it out.) He has strong personal goals and a drive to achieve greatness, this of course reflects on the whole ambition of the house. So it will be fun to see for sure. Lumos is exceptionally good at finding innovative solutions to problems, using his resources and skills to their fullest potential.
Tori - Based on Tori's personality and characteristics, she could fit into several Hogwarts houses, but one stands out the most for me. Hufflepuff: Tori's deep sense of empathy, resilience, and value for honesty align well with Hufflepuff traits. Hufflepuffs are known for their dedication, patience, and loyalty. Tori's friendly, approachable nature and her determination to make her family proud also fit the Hufflepuff ethos of hard work and fairness. Her adaptability and eagerness to learn could thrive in Hufflepuff, where these traits would be nurtured and celebrated. Tori’s curiosity and quick learning could also make her a good fit for Ravenclaw, where intelligence and a love for knowledge are highly valued. However, her strong emotional connections and values lean more towards Hufflepuff's nurturing and inclusive environment. Her impulsiveness and need for approval might lead some to consider Gryffindor, where bravery and daring are prized, but her defining traits of empathy, resilience, and honesty suggest Hufflepuff as the most fitting house for her.
Rose - I think she is the most likely candidate of all my characters for Gryffindor as she's very dramatic, a lot like her mother to be honest. She can be very arrogant and unforgiving about a lot of things, she's a bit rough around the edges and she can't really function on her own without relying on her family (specifically her triplet siblings, mostly Eli) - she responds to most issues by either hyperventilating herself into a panic, or she flings herself dramatically onto the closest piece of furniture. This might sound Gryffindor, but the most important thing to note here with Rose is she's incredibly insecure and a lot of her outward behaviour is based around the fact she's putting on a bit of a facade. She's more bravado than brave because of this and is likely to jump into a pit of snakes to prove she's not scared rather than stop to think about why that's not a good idea. She tends to act first and think later, and her insights are definitively not academic. She's the sort of person who only excels in the classes she's interested in, but outside of that she really couldn't care less. Being her friend can be difficult though, because she's energetic and very trusting of you. Betraying her is a toss up on whether she'll forgive you, but depending not he betrayal she might find a way to avenge her trust. Actually writing this out, she might slip into Slytherin.
Elijah - His intellectual curiosity and love for reading reflect the house's value for learning and intellectual pursuits. Elijah's desire for solitude and preference for a quiet environment align with the introspective nature of Ravenclaws, who often seek peace to concentrate on their studies. His practical problem-solving skills and resourcefulness, demonstrated in how he handles his sister Rose's dramatics, further showcase his Ravenclaw traits. While he feels responsible for his siblings, he often wishes for the tranquility to immerse himself in his books, indicating his preference for intellectual engagement over social interaction. This balance of caring for others while craving personal space and intellectual pursuits is a nuanced characteristic that aligns well with Ravenclaw's values. In Ravenclaw, Elijah would find the perfect environment to thrive academically and intellectually, away from the noise and drama of his family, allowing him to pursue his passions in peace.
