So have you all seen the @sortinghatchats sorting system? It’s super cool and I’m obsessed with it, so of course I figured that I should do a round for the show I’m obsessed with, Mistworld! Here are my ideas, but feel free to argue for different interpretations, or add more characters!
Alokas: Slytherin primary / Gryffindor secondary
Poor Alokas starts off the show extremely burnt. Having his friends betray him pretty much burnt his Slytherin primary down to including only himself in his circle, though by the beginning of the show it’s started to expand a little bit to Rai. Over the course of the show he gets unburnt more and more rapidly as he starts to trust the rest of YOKBOT, and also finds out that the supposed betrayal wasn’t quite what he thought. Yay!
I’m sure lots of people would argue for him having a Slytherin secondary, and I think he’s got a really excellent Slytherin performance that’s useful to him, but I’d argue that overall his instinctive strategy for doing stuff is “FUCK IT I’M GONNA DO THE THING”, which sounds Gryffindory to me!
Athol: Ravenclaw primary / Ravenclaw secondary
Ravenclaws all the way down! Athol starts off the show aligned with the Dwarves and his race/homeland, and over the course of it shifts his moral framework to accommodate all the new information he’s receiving and try to, you know, save the world, mostly without much fuss. Very Ravenclawy.
You could make an argument for Athol being a Gryffindor secondary, given his tendency to wander off and start doing stuff while everyone else is still talking, but really I think he’s just a very impatient Ravenclaw. His strategy is pretty much always “collect information, run experiments”. He has a whole notebook full of important info and bottles of specimens just in case he needs them!
Itzal: Gryffindor primary / Gryffindor secondary
Itzal is a character who definitely knows what she wants! She’s not easily swayed and doesn’t seem to be using any particular model, she’s just got an intrinsic sense of what’s right and wants to follow it. That does include caring about people, but she seems to be more the type who wants to save the world and everyone because that’s the Right Thing To Do, rather than save the world because that’s how to rescue everyone.
Extremely Gryffindor secondary, which is a good quality for a dungeon crawler! Definitely an act first, deal with the consequences later kind of character- see her powerful but very risky magic attacks.
Leila: Slytherin primary / Slytherin Secondary
Her primary is kind of hard to identify because her Slytherin secondary is SO intense, it often makes her primary motivation look like whatever would be useful or help her fit in or influence a group. I’m gonna make an argument, though, that she has a Slytherin primary with a very large and flexible circle. At the start of the show her circle is pretty clearly the other Tieflings, but as the show goes on we see her adapt it to meet her changing circumstances. She copes with the horrors of the timelines by telling herself “those people aren’t real so they don’t matter” - defining them as outside of her circle. Her circle seems to consist of people she finds interesting or relevant, so she adopts people into it quickly (including some who are adversaries), but she’s able to almost completely disregard those who are outside it and has no moral issue with tricking, ignoring, or even abandoning them.
Slytherin secondary is literally her god power, I mean, she is the MOST Slytherin secondary of characters. She’s whatever you need her to be!
Merineth: Ravenclaw primary / Hufflepuff secondary
Tricky, but I think Merineth is a Ravenclaw because of the way she shifts her morality over the course of the show. She starts off happily adhering to the Wall Guard system, but she’s able to change and adapt (or possibly get dragged down) by the other travellers, and is always open to considering opposing POVs and incorporate them if they’re worthwhile.
Hufflepuff secondary because, well, her strategy is pretty much to keep whalin’ on the thing. See her struggle in god doors where she just patiently tanked her way through all the darkness for ever.
Rai: Slytherin primary / Gryffindor secondary
So unsubtle that there’s almost no point in doing a write-up. Her god powers are entirely Slytherin primary-based, she has a small circle of people and cares about protecting them above all else.
Also, her strategy with pretty much any problem is to run in and hit it.
Bashal: Ravenclaw primary / Hufflepuff secondary
Bashal’s primary is a little hard to suss out, since she’s such a quiet character, but I actually think there’s a decent argument for her being a Ravenclaw. I think she’s basically following Ehlonna’s system, which makes sense since her whole reason for being is about being Ehlonna’s companion. She’s on board for team save the world, but is it because it’s the right thing to do, or because she wants to save people or particular people in it? No, I think it’s because it’s what Ehlonna would want her to do.
Hufflepuff secondary because she’s another one who pretty much just toils ceaselessly, naps, and then toils again. Not really a planner or an improviser, and though she is brave she’s not Gryffindor-impulsive. Just doing the thing, and then the next thing, and then the next one.
Apocalpyse Nyka: Hufflepuff primary / Hufflepuff secondary
He’s definitely a save-the-world-in-order-to-save-the-people character. When he’s taken away from the fight to save his timeline, and when he’s at his lowest ebb and losing all of his memories, the thing he chosoes to do is jump into the hopeless fight to save the people in the random other timeline he’s ended up in.
His strategy is definitely just continue to toil at all costs, see the above example. Poor guy is so tired.
Shadow Nyka: Slytherin primary / Gryffindor secondary
By the time we meet him he’s got a very tiny Slytherin primary- just himself and Rai. Almost certainly pretty burned, although the few flashbacks we have of him aren’t enough to say if he’s burned down from just a wider Slytherin primary (maybe the whole rogue temple society?), or from even a Hufflepuff like Apocalypse Nyka
Gryffindor secondary because this dude just does not think before he acts, he is very much a run into the problem kind of character.
Saren Raithe: Gryffindor primary / Ravenclaw secondary
He is entirely motivated by his own morals and boy is he confident in them! They are some sketchy morals, too, let me tell you. He’s got a really strong sense of what is Right, and it’s mostly what’s good for him.
His god power is pretty much just Ravenclaw secondary, god level! He always has a million backup plans and collects all kinds of resources and insurance to make sure his plans go off correctly.
Thren: Gryffindor primary / Ravenclaw secondary
Yet another person who’s got some strong internal motivation! There are several instances where she goes against her order and code, and while it causes her grief, she’s still pretty set on doing The Right Thing despite that.
Her secondary is harder, either she’s a Gryffindor with a lot of tools or a Ravenclaw who really loves to rush into things. I think I’m going to air slightly on the side of her being just a really impulsive Ravenclaw because she’s SO intense about having a machine that would help with every eventuality.
