Savler: Slytherin Primary/Ravenclaw Secondary (though her bounty hunter persona arguably performs a dark version of Gryffindor Secondary)

She’s easy to sort. She’s solidly focused on her and hers – her friends, her family – not the galaxy at large and feels that that’s right. Her fierce protectiveness of Jezari and Mako, and willingness to do things she thinks are phenomenally stupid if it keeps her loved ones safe fit right in. As does her ability to shrug off questions outside of her and hers. (Hell, while she may not adopt the morality of the important people in her life, both Jezari and Mako are kind of softening influences on her. They both have more instinctive concern for people who aren’t in their circle and she cares that they care. Of course, this also means she sometimes has to save them from themselves.)

She also approaches problem solving in a very definite way. She’s a planner and an observer. She’s a person of knowledge and skills who tries to avoid being forced to improvise by having plans and back up plans and being prepared. Even if she hides this behind a more direct persona as a bounty hunter.

Jezari: Double Gryffindor, sometimes modeling Slytherin Secondary

She very definitely goes with her instinctive feelings about what’s right and feels strongly about the importance of doing so. It’s only when her values conflict with each other that she has trouble deciding what to do. She’s got a little more of a sense of gray area than your average Gryffindor, but there are still things that she’s solidly right and wrong and never the twain shall meet about. That one of her strong values is friendship puts her and Savler on the same page more than a Gryffindor and a Slytherin might otherwise be.

She’s mostly got the directness and leadership tendencies of a Gryffindor secondary, but she’s more comfortable with indirect or dishonest methods than a typical Gryffindor. Partly that’s a matter of growing up in the galactic underworld, partly of hanging out with Savler, specifically. Still, left to her own devices, she’s likely to charge problems head on and hope she can make it work.

Kyrian: possibly another Double Gryffindor - modeling Slytherin Secondary, possibly Gryffindor Primary/Slytherin Secondary (either way doing an unintentional impersonation of a Hufflepuff Primary/Slytherin Secondary)

His deep instinctive caring for other people and his desire to make things work out for everyone, even at times people who mean him harm, makes him appear to be a Hufflepuff Primary. But when his morals and his country’s morals collided, he went with what he thought was right and stuck to it. If somewhat more quietly and sneakily than Gryffindors are generally wont to.

Ianya: double burned Gryffindor – modeling Ravenclaw Primary, or trying to

She did the right thing, she made the right choice, and all it got her was pain. She chose the Order, she chose the war, and the war was lost and so was her family. All she has to cling to is being a Jedi. She can pretend to be what she should be, but the problem is she doesn’t have the faith she’d need for rebuilding herself that way to work. It’s more that she can’t throw the Jedi away, not after she lost everything because she thought it was the right choice.

Since her secondary is burned as well, any method will do. But I’m pretty sure it was also Gryffindor.

Novani: Ravenclaw Primary/Gryffindor Secondary – trying to model Ravenclaw Secondary

Novani cares deeply about doing what’s right and good, but she doesn’t instinctively know what that is. She spends quite a lot of time trying to make all of the things she believes a good person should be and do fit together properly with what she believes a good Jedi should be and do. And feeling like it should all fit together much better than she can get it to.

She wants to act with careful reasoned thought but she keeps finding herself doing things that aren’t carefully reasoned at all.

 Daska: Gryffindor Primary/Slytherin Secondary – performing…evil Hufflepuff Primary/Gryffindor Secondary? (people are the Empire, hit everyone else with a lightsaber)

She believes in the rightness of her morals and her interpretation of the Sith Code, despite being surrounded by people who have a very different interpretation and very different morality. She wants to fix the Empire, even if she has some doubts about whether that’s possible, and in the meantime she’s going to do what she can to help people – even if it’s in the guise of being a terrifying Sith. She wants very much to find her sister and mother, but unlike her sister, there are things she won’t do to accomplish that.

She’s comfortable with wearing the mask of a useful but not dangerously ambitious Sith and comfortable solving problems in ways that look direct but aren’t, because what’s on the surface is a sham. (No one asks why a prisoner claimed by a Sith is never seen again, for example.)

 Lysara: (situationally petrified) Slytherin Primary – modeling Ravenclaw and performing evil Ravenclaw/secondary burned…probably Hufflepuff

Lysara cares for herself and her family and would do anything to have her sister and mother back, but she also has a constructed morality around a combination of vengeance and not wanting what happened to her family to happen to others. She’s built a morality of caring for other people on a foundation of hatred. She’ll help random Republic people because she wants the Empire to burn. She’ll help slaves or the downtrodden because she was once a slave and because she wants those who enslave or tread on others to burn.

She cannot let anyone into her inner circle as long as the people around her are all Sith and/or Imperials. She simply can’t take the risk of trusting anyone enough to come to care about them. If she can manage to find her sister and mother and get the hell out of the Empire, she could risk expanding her circle beyond her family. Until then, she’s going to pretend to be a good Sith, sabotage the fuck out of the Empire wherever she can, and hunt for her family.

Her secondary is so burned it’s very difficult to figure out what it was, but her illogical irritation with people who are incompetent or lazy makes me think it was probably Hufflepuff. (She should be glad when Imperials/Sith are incompetent and lazy, since it’s bad for the Empire, but it just irks her, damn it.)

 Tevin: Gryffindor Primary/Hufflepuff Secondary

His morals line up closely enough with the stated morals of the Republic that I briefly considered Ravenclaw for him, but the Republic not actually living up to its morals hasn’t shaken his attachment to those morals or prompted any rethinking.

He could be a double Gryffindor modeling Hufflepuf Secondary but he isn’t really a charger and there’s something that just seems very Hufflepuffy about his leadership. He’s more of a dedicated hard worker who kind of accidentally ended up in a leadership position, and that works more because his teammates feel like part of the team than because they’re following him.

 Bonus extras! Novani’s Jedi Master and the main trio’s villain!

Master Cereb: Gryffindor Primary/Slytherin Secondary – modeling Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff

He has an instinctive internal moral certainty his Padawan lacks, and when push came to shove he would go with what felt right. But he’s Ravenclaw enough to be very good at helping her (and other people) think through moral quandaries in a reasoned, logical way. (Though he has a tendency to encourage morality that matches his own.)

He’s good at and comfortable with fitting in wherever he needs to be and is most comfortable going at things in a quiet and indirect way. He is the ideal Jedi, the comforting master, the cunning spy, the clever detective, the brave rescuer…and while all of those things are true, they aren’t true at the depth they would be if he were actually Hufflepuff secondary.

 Lord Dralick: Double Ravenclaw

His values are selfish and self-serving, but there’s something very thoughtful about them. He’s embraced the general morality of the Sith, but adjusted it in places based on observation and evidence, not just what’s easiest.  (His decent pay and treatment of his employees is evidence for this. He doesn’t feel the need to lead through pure fear just because it’s the done thing. In fact, it would be wrong to pretend fear is the best motivator of loyalty when it clearly isn’t.) He’s also someone more likely to be swayed by reason than emotion. (Not very Sithy there, I suppose.)

And sure, that all sounds like it could be Slytherin, but there’s nothing loyalty based about his values. He wasn’t morally outraged by discovering Kyrian was a traitor; he isn’t loyal to the Empire, himself. And, while he was decidedly irritated that these annoying people kept wrecking his shit and occasionally killing his people, there was no Slytheriny outrage at that. He also has an observational reaction to things that a more instinct based house might not – he didn’t just immediately go after the group again at the end of Conflicts of Interest, he was content to build a case against Kyrian and file away that Savler might have been party to what happened.
