Since a few people have been curious, I’ll elaborate on some of the characteristics I sort by.

Keep in mind, again, that this is something I do for fun, so this is by no means an absolute rule list or how all characters should be sorted or even ‘official’ characteristics for all houses. Keep in mind not everyone in these houses will have ALL the characteristics. Some characters may have all the positives, or all the negatives, or a mix - say, half the positives, half the negatives, or maybe all the negatives and three positives, or 10 of the positives and 5 of the negatives!

A lot of these houses also have similar and interconnecting traits, and that’s the idea - to be truly great, they must work together.
