If Rosella and Alexander...

[Yonkey]

Crossover time!  

This poll got deleted yesterday with all the server problems. Anyway, vote now!

[Louisiana Night]

I never read Harry Potter, and please don't try to explain the houses to me.

[Yonkey]

I've never read it either, so don't explain them to me either.

[Jafar]

What they said.

[koko_99_2001]

Gryffindor!

[Drunken Chinchilla]

Alexander - Slytherin...just because ;p

Rosella - hmmmm I'd say Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. More towards Ravenclaw because of the independance and cleverness

Really cool poll btw!

EDIT: You spoilsports should go read all five books this week so you can take part!!

... Aren't you even curious as to why these books are so insanely popular? You REALLY have never entered the Potter-sphere? Not even the movies?!  I didn't think it was possible... Even if you don't care/aren't fans, I would think you'd have heard the basics? Wow. I'm kinda... glad in an odd sort of way that the WHOLE world hasn't been taken over (even though I myself am part of the masses of avid Potter fans). When it turns out that these books are really evil brainwashing devices, you can proudly say, "I knew better!"  

Anyway,  I can never decide for most people where they would go best (I'm not a sorting hat). Mostly because no one is really so one-dimensional that they would only fit in one place. I personally think the segregation of students based on the strongest aspects of their character is a twisted and unhealthy practice. How are they ever going to learn the true value of the other characteristics if they're always grouped with people like themselves? If I could choose, I would pick Hufflepuff for myself, because I think serving others and loving and accepting people are the most important. But I also know that to do that well, you need wisdom (Ravenclaw), and courage is absolutely necessary for it as well (Gryffindor... infact, courage has no basis without kindness and care... it's what defines it, if you ask me. What GIVES me courage is CARING about something). And courage without wisdom usually makes things worse. Ambition is trickier, but quite frankly, if we weren't ambitious we'd never get anywhere. You can have excellent ambitions, like solving world hunger. If you have all those other good characteristics but not ambition, you aren't going to be doing anything with those gifts. There is such a thing as selfless ambition, y'know. It's not always a bad thing.

So anyway, after that ridiculous spiel, I would say Rosella is a Ravenclaw/Gryffindor, and Alex is a Gryffindor/Hufflepuff. If I had to define their most prominent aspects. They, like most people, have some of all of it, if you ask me.

They did take part...they just voted: "I never read Harry Potter, what is this about?!" and thus ruined the results of the poll!

[Rune_of_Westhaven]

They'd probably be in different houses...I think Alex is a Gryffindor and Rosella is a Ravenclaw.

[Jafar]

Those are basics?
I read a bit of the first one, but I didn't like it...

[Jeysie]

I agree with Alex, go forth and read the books! I didn't read them for the longest time, then when I finally did I was slapping myself for not doing it sooner. I do think that the first two are the weakest of the series (though they're still quite good), but the last three kick butt. Anyhoo...

I have the exact opposite opinion of Rune. Rosella, with all her talk of adventuring, diving headfirst into places where angels fear to tread, and bravery during her Tamir trials, is definitely a Gryffindor. Alex is trickier, but I'd peg him as a Ravenclaw... he's very curious, practical, interested in gaining knowledge, and intelligent. True, he's quite the brave adventurer as well, but he doesn't seem to be into adventuring for the sake of adventuring the way Rosella is.

Edit: Forgot to say... you make good points, Amarinda. Though seeing as how students tend to gravitate towards segregating themselves into like-minded groups anyway, it's likely that similar divisions would occur even if there weren't any houses. Though at least then it wouldn't have any "official" backing to fuel it.

Rosela is a real going to Gryffindor so active as she is
alexander goes to Ravenclaws he looks more diciplined
and none of the famaly would ever go to Slytherins becouse lots of evil wizards come from there

[FataliOmega]

I really hate to say this, but i think yall are looking at Rosella wrong. First of all, shes a total ditz... ravenclaw would not work at all.

She's got a good heart (the primary reason she's my favorite KQ character) so Slytherins out.

That leaves Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Gryffindor is bravery leaning toward heroic chapion. This fits after a fashion, but I would argue Hufflepuff fits better.

Now, Hufflepuff guys arent cowards, their loyal, faithful, and quite daring when push comes to shove. This sounds an awful lot like Rosella in the 4th game. Her dad was dying, she loved him deeply and was loyal... so she did the best she could when she was offered the chance. Definitely Hufflepuff.

Alexander is more clear cut. He's the type that storms out to answer a distress call... or challenges a mighty wizard and turns him into a cat. This is much more Gryffindor if you ask me.

End Result:
Rosella = Hufflepuff
Alexander = Gryffindor

(BTW, I repeat, Rosella is my favorite character and I see no dishonor in her being in Hufflepuff. Its just a different kind of MO.)

[koko_99_2001]

Did we ask for your opinion?


Oh yeah...it's a poll...we're asking for everyone's opinion!

I really hate to say this, but i think yall are looking at Rosella wrong. First of all, shes a total ditz... ravenclaw would not work at all.

Agreed.  I loved her in KQ4.  I didn't see her as a ditz then.  But all throughout 7, I think I rolled my eyes at just about anything she said!

That leaves Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Gryffindor is bravery leaning toward heroic chapion. This fits after a fashion, but I would argue Hufflepuff fits better.

I'd argue that if you're looking at her from the very beginning of the 4th game, then she was brave.  She was willing to save her father by going to a distant land to get a fruit knowing that Genesta might not have to power to bring her back, should she fail to get the talisman.

Of course, then the arguement comes in showing her in the 7th game, where she is trying to keep from growing up and isn't ready to be married, and jumps into a lake to follow a dragonfly!  Come on!  How many people jump into a lake on your land after a dragonfly??  That, I guess we could argue, is her blond moment.

You guys over-analyze everything. Maybe it's because I've only read one of the books, but things look really simple to me -
Alex and Rosella are both heroes, winners, save the day every single time, and all-around good guys. As such, they belong in no other house but Gryffindor. The rest of the houses are for losers - that's why none of the main characters are in them

Oh, and why does a house like Slytherin exists anyway? wouldn't it be a lot more sensible just to kick all the evil students out?
