One of the comments on my post about ramshackle being a living building suggested the tought about the other dorms being alive as well, so here it is:
Ramshackle and the other dorms aren't the same type of 'alive' if catch me
Ramshackle is a literal organism, it has organs and a entire physical anatomy hidden beneath the creaking floor boards
The other dorms are alive trough purely magical means, each dorm have their own set of personalities given by what each of the dorms upholds, these personalities manifest in the form of humanoid spirits in very specific circumstenses so its a very obscured information that the dorms are alive(and completly unknown that ramshackle is also one)
Ramshackle is the oldest, pomefiore is the second oldest, then comes heartsulabyu
Now these ones are purely my headcannon but i think the ones that come next are: diasominia, scarabia, savanahclaw, octavinelle and lastly iginihyde
Thinking of it now, ramshackle harem anyone
Like imagine the other dorms deeply respect(and admire....maybe a few crushesπ) ramshackle for the being oldest of them, even though its abandoned now
And they also really missed them after ramshackle stoped responding after so long without magic to keep it on its toes
