Sorting for the Raven Cycle. Just the gangsey- Gansey, Ronan, Adam, Noah and Blue :)) if your mods know of them

*This sorting contains SPOILERS for the following series: The Raven Cycle*

Gansey: Hufflepuff

“Gansey had forgotten how many times he had been told he was destined for greatness.”

Gansey began his search for Glendower when he was young, and despite the people who laughed at him or gave him weird looks, he carried through with it until the end. This search is the very definition of dedication. He leaves no stone unturned, no corner unchecked. He notes every little detail that coincides with his quest in his journal, and he’s willing to do anything if it helps him reach his goal. This is a great example of not only dedication, but also the Hufflepuff trait of hard work.

Additionally, Gansey is loyal. He will do anything to help his friends, and he stands by their sides even when they make brash decisions (Ronan), are struggling with their home lives (Adam), turn out to be dead (Noah), or are fated to kill him (Blue.) Even after Ronan turns angry and bitter in the wake of his father’s death, Gansey stays by his side and never once walks away. He tries to help Adam get out of his abusive home, and he continues to fight for him even after they argue and disagree. Gansey is always there for the people he loves, and he always does his best to make sure that they are safe and happy. Though he does show some Gryffindor qualities (bravery and adventure), I feel that, as a whole, Gansey is a Hufflepuff at his core.

Ronan: Gryffindor

“…he began to dream.”

Ronan is reckless. He’s hot-headed, he drag races, he drinks. He gets in fights and curses like a sailor. He clearly displays two traits that are commonly associated with Gryffindors: a reckless personality and a short temper.

But that’s not all that Gryffindors are. That’s not all that Ronan is.

Ronan has a pet bird named Chainsaw. He plays bad music, he kisses the boy he loves, he takes care of his mother and the animals at the Barns. He dreams of impossible things and defends his friends with his life. Ronan is brave and courageous. He never backs down from a challenge (and is often known to even start one himself.) He isn’t afraid to try something new or risky. He would also lay down his life for his friends and family. When Adam get injured in The Raven Boys, Ronan is the one who punches his father. He supports Adam, he supports Gansey, he supports Blue. He is always there at their sides, willing to protect them until his final breath. Ronan won’t let anything happen to the ones he loves, not after what happened to his father. He protects his brothers and mother, he protects his friends, because he recognizes how important they are. Like a true lion, Ronan will fight  for them when they’re in danger, regardless of the consequences that might affect him. Because of this, Ronan Lynch is a Gryffindor.

Adam: Slytherin

“He closed his eyes and let the storm soak him.”

Maggie Steifvater, the author of The Raven Cycle, has confirmed that Adam would be a Slytherin, and I couldn’t agree more. Everything about Adam revolves around his ambition. Throughout the series, Adam strives to be a different person than his father, and even fears turning out just like him. He wants to forge his own path and make his own decisions, he wants to prove to people that the choices he makes are his. Adam wants to be able to take care of himself, he doesn’t accept help from Gansey, no matter how many times he offers it. He works so hard to control his life (working multiple jobs, keeping up with school, making the decision to leave his house, e.t.c.) that I have no doubt. Adam is smart, and he’s ambitious, he’s determined, he is the very definition of a Slytherin.

Noah: Gryffindor

“Depending on where you began the story, it was about Noah Czerny.”

I know that a lot of people, a lot of people, say that Noah is a Hufflepuff. He exhibits a lot of Hufflepuff traits, including loyalty and kindness. For the most part, I agree with with this assessment. However, a Hogwarts house doesn’t just represent the traits that a person has. It also represents what they need to learn and what they have the potential to become. Because of this, there is one scene, one scene, that causes me to turn away and place him into Gryffindor instead. 

(*This scene is a very important and very spoiler-y scene from The Raven King. If you have not read that book, stop reading and skip to Blue now*) 

“Gansey died.”

Noah is the reason Gansey came back to life after being killed by bees when he was a child. Near the end of The Raven King, there’s a chapter where the readers find themselves following Noah as he moves through time (which is circular) and crosses through ley lines. In this scene, Noah stops at the point in time where Gansey is dying. The place where Gansey is dying is the same ley line where Noah, himself, died many years prior. Here, Noah does something very important. He says, “You will live because of Glendower. Someone else on this ley line is dying when they should not, and so you will live when you should not.” Now, let’s make something clear, Noah notes himself, earlier in the chapter, that he is not brave. That, back  when he died, he would not have been brave enough to choose to die instead of being forced to die. But here, in this scene, Noah is so, so brave. He makes that important decision, he shows that he has learned how to be brave, and it is because of this that I think Noah is a Gryffindor. 

“Good-bye,” Noah said, “Don’t throw it away.” 

He quietly slid from time.

Blue: Ravenclaw

“Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she’d been told she would kill her true love.”

Blue Sargent is an independent character. She doesn’t like to fit other people’s molds for the person they think she should be, and she is very strong when it comes to her opinions and style. Like many Ravenclaws, Blue is original and unique. She makes her own clothes and doesn’t act in the stereotypical way that many would expect a female character to act. She’s sarcastic, weird, and works multiple jobs. She doesn’t own a car and wears too many hairclips. Blue is not your conventional heroine. 

This, of course, is what makes Blue, Blue. She’s witty, she’s creative, she is everything a Ravenclaw should be and more. She is incredibly accepting, and becomes fast friends with four boys who all have their own quirks and differences. Blue is an independent young woman who is unique, strong, smart, and accepting. There is no other house she can be but Ravenclaw.

Anon, you don’t know how happy I was when I saw this request. Thank you for making my day, I hope you like it!
