Puss In Boots Sorting Thoughts

I wanted to put these down here so that I don't forget, and also because I'm impatient XD. Currently only on season 4 episode 5 so thoughts are subject to change.

Puss in Boots: Badger Lion with a Glory Hound Lion model

Puss cares about the community, about the people of San Lorenzo, but also about people in general. For example, he offers the skeletons and home and their freedom even after they attacked him initially. When they get to town and the townspeople are vary of them (very valid, walking, living skeletons are sort of disturbing XD), Puss genuinely doesn't get it. They're people just like them, why are the townspeople afraid? Last season when Puss is cursed into being a black cat and brings bad luck upon the town; he knows he has to leave for the good of the community, but he's so miserable away from them. (He almost immediately finds a smaller group - attracting communities like the Badger primary he is) I think his Badger is/was probably a little bit burned. He has a lot of glory Hound Lion moments, but during those he essentially wants to be recognized and praised by the community - which feels more Badger then Lion. I think he used to live in that model when he was out on his own adventuring and didn't have a community. Also he gets so much self worth from how valuable he is to the community and is so self deprecating when he feels that he doesn't live up to what they need from him.

Lion secondary because how he solves problems is by running and hitting them with his sword, no prep and no steady hard work. He assembles the Senior Puss squad to fight alongside him in the battle against the Blood Wolf at the insistence of his mentor El Guante Blanco - which is literally him building an army. Even Duchess joins him, even though she considers him her nemesis.

Dulcinea : Bird Badger with a Snake primary model

Dulcinea is a very classic Badger secondary. She works very hard, is liked by everyone, and sometimes falls into that confident role that Badgers sometimes end up occupying because people find them so trustworthy.

I debated between Badger primary and Bird primary for her, but I decided that I think she's just got a really loud Badger secondary which tends to bleed over into her primary. She also had some badger-y ideals, maybe because of the secondary bleeding through? I think Dulcinea definitely has a Snake primary model for Puss and also for the orphans. She sometimes vibes like The Lover sorting (Snake Badger), which makes sense because she's Puss, the main character's, love interest. I think the Snake primary model definitely helps with that impression. I ultimately think she's a Bird primary because of her poem book (which is essentially about kindness and being a good friend and how to navigate other life situations). That's her system. Dulcinea's morals are based off the book (she's still willing to through it out if it doesnt make sense to her tho), and she makes decisions and advises other people based off of it.

Uli : Bird Badger

Uli I think is a Bird primary because of how quickly he changes his mind. He thinks that he needs to be evil and scare other people in order to be treated with respect (that's what he was taught when he was raised in the order of the bloodwolf), but Dulcinea shows him how the skeletons earned respect not by being scary, but by being kind and doing good. Uli immediately goes, "Maybe everything I was taught was wrong and being evil isn't good. Being good is good." He's spent his whole life chasing after the rise of the bloodwolf and tried his best to be as evil as possible - I think that's his system that he learned from the people who raised him, but he's so quick to change his mind and there's no real anguish over it in the way there would be for a Lion primary.

I'm less sure about his secondary, but maybe Badger secondary because he plays the long game? He purposely befriends Puss, putting in the work to gain his trust, just to betray him. He cleans an entire kitchen and cooks a whole meal, just to be evil (reverse psychology was used to make him do this - it's not his fault guys XD). Also I'm pretty sure he falls on the inspirational divide. He takes over Dulcinea's role as teacher of the Reform School for Thieves in the span of one night simply by inspiring the thieves to follow him because he's the star pupil of the school.

Artephius - Double Bird

Artephius has memory problems, but he's still got so many skills. Sure, he periodically forgets about them, but he eventually remembers and he's very impressive when he does. His hobbies, skills, and tools are varied and numerous and I think he's a very fun Bird sec.

I think he's a Bird primary because he honesty just vibes very Double Bird to me? I think if he fully recovers his memory (which I'm guessing he will based off what I remember from when I first watched this show years ago) his primary will be more clear.

More sorting guesses (mostly based off vibes):

Duchess : Lion Bird

Señora Zapata : Snake Lion

Pahoona : Double Lion (or Lion Snake)

Kid Pickles : Lion Snake

Toby : Badger Lion

Cleevil : Badger/Snake
