The 100 Characters Hogwarts Sorting Series

The Philosopher’s Stone “You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart.”

The Goblet of Fire “Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor... ...By Gryffindor, the bravest were Prized far beyond the rest.”

The Order of the Phoenix “For were there such friends anywhere As Slytherin and Gryffindor?... ... Said Gryffindor, “We’ll teach all those With brave deeds to their name... ...While the bravest and the boldest Went to daring Gryffindor.”

In Harry Potter, Gryffindor just seems to hold all of our “good guy” characters, but I am taking a more ‘trait based’ approach to Gryffindor here. Gryffindors are brash, bold, daring, brave, and wild characters. They don’t follow the rules, not because they have some sort of disdain for them, or because they necessarily think their way is better, but because rules get in the way of sheer, unadulterated bravery. Not always the kindest, or the most caring, Gryffindors care about being the hero, more than anything else. They like the glory that comes with it. The powers of Gryffindor can be used for good or for evil, and the Lions in this show are truly varied in that regard. In Gryffindor we find: 

Zeke Shaw

An all out adrenaline junkie, who joined up into the airforce for the thrill of it. He stands up to bullies, no matter what ‘side’ those bullies are on, and he’s got a knack for flinging himself into dangerous situations when his moral compass calls for it. He likes the thrill of it, and he gets into danger just for fun. Motorcycles too fast on the highway, jet planes, and spaceships. He didn’t join up for the cause, he joined up for the fun of it. He is smart as hell, but what he values most in himself is his own bravery. Lion heart for sure. 

Jasper Jordan

We got a taste of Jaspers Lionhearted ways during season 1, and by a taste I mean we saw it big time. He wanted nothing more than to BE the hero. He lept into the water to save Octavia. He swung across the river to impress the girl. He followed Clarke and Bellamy to the meet up on the bridge, and even though he panicked, he revelled in the glory and popularity. He wanted to be like Bellamy, the big hero, the one everyone loved and adored. And as much as I think Jasper was terrified, all the time, he wanted to be brave. He organised his friends in the Mountain to save everyone. He was untying his own hands to slit Cage Wallace’s throat in season 2 before Clarke pulled the level. And when he became self destructive, that bravery turned dark. He threw himself into danger, just to feel something. He put himself in harms way because it was the only thing that made him feel alive. And in the end, he was still brave. He was just tired, and his depression and PTSD took over, but he was able to bravely stand with his friends and say that enough was enough, for them. It was horrible and sad, and I wish he had been able to get better, but he was brave, all the way to the end, and that was who Jasper was. The Brave boy who wanted to be a hero. 

Harper McIntyre

Gosh, if there was every a character who deserved the moniker of Brave, its Harper. Thrown to earth as a teenager, she found her place in a group of insane criminal kids, and fought her way to being the first female guard we saw. She stood up for what she thought was right, what she believed in, even when it went against what her friends and loved ones believed (“it takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies... but a great deal more, to stand up to your friends”), and she picked herself back up after every horrible thing she experienced, pulling herself back up long enough to find peace in space with her new family. What a brave, beautiful soul.

Octavia Blake

Octavia has always been all brawn, and that is such a strong Gryffindor trait. Octavia flings herself headfirst into a situation without really sitting back and thinking things through, and uses her bravery and her just sheer force of will to get her way. In season 1 we saw it a lot with the way she was with Lincoln, and from what we learned about her childhood. Bravery was the thing that kept her going under the floor, and it’s what she used in season 1 to find her place, and it never stopped. She wants to be a warrior, not because she believed in any cause, but because she felt like fighting and winning gave her purpose. She fought for skaikru not because she truly felt they deserved a place, but because they needed a champion and she could be that. She became an assassin because the only way she could cope with her loss was through violence and anger. Even how she led in the bunker was SO Gryffindor. She would listen to her advisors, but it was never about what the smartest choice was. By the end it was about her power. That lust for hero status, for legend and fame, is very Lion of her. 

Madi kom Louadaklironkru

The littlest Lion. I think i knew she was a little gryffindor when she said Octavia was her favourite in the stories. She was fuelled by stories of warriors and fighting, on legendary heroes. She didn’t love sneaky Murphy or brilliant Raven or kind and loyal Bellamy, she loved the pure brawn and fight of Octavia. Madi’s bravery came through on her own throughout the season as well. She made rash, arguably stupid choices when it came to saving the people she loved (telling O she was a real nightblood to protect Clarke anyone?), but she also had no problem calling Clarke out when she felt like they needed to be the heroes. Taking the flame, her biggest fear, to save her mom? Brave as brave can be. Leading an army into battle to save the world? The bravest little lion of them all. 

Marcus Kane

Marcus started out as the quintessential rule following hard-ass character in season 1, but he evolved into someone so much more over time. Marcus is one of the Gryffindor characters who is not ruled by the want for legend, but is still ruled by brashness and bravery. He’s a smart guy, for sure, and he’s true to his beliefs, but he functions best when he’s leading the charge. He stands up to tyrants (re: pike, alie, octavia) with no concern for his own life, because he believes in doing whats right. He also puts himself into positions of power, because his charm and charisma gets him there. There is a reason he functioned so well as the ambassador for Skaikru, even though he wasn’t their leader. He had the ability to smile and charm his way to diplomacy when more intellectually brained characters like Jaha couldn’t, and he was able to do it with a true sincerity, where characters like Clarke and Abby would have had too much of their own agenda to succeed. 

Finn Collins

Finn was all about the glory of it all. He would fling himself into danger to prove himself to the girl, at any turn. But Finn’s bravery was dark, in the most gryffindor way. He was brave because of what it gave him. Recognition. Respect. The awe of the crowd. Finn was never a character that really seemed to care about anyone other than Clarke and Raven, but he planned peace talks and massacred villages because of the women in his life. His bravery knew no moral place, it was all for his own self interest. 

Illian kom Trishanakru

Illian was difficult to sort because sometimes it was hard to see who he really was, but I think his bravery was a big part of him. He ran straight into the enemy camp to blow up the ark, with no care for what it could be used for, because his own anger pushed him there. He wasn’t particularly smart or sneaky about it either. He saw Octavia, and decided she was his in, and he did it. He showed up for his conclave because his people needed a champion, and fought because he had too. Duty and honor drove him, but so did vengeance.  

Ontari kom Azgeda

Ontari is all fight. I see a lot of people sort her into slytherin, but she is nowhere near cunning enough. If she had been more Slytherin, she wouldn’t have needed Murphy to help her with her long con as Fake Commander, but she would never have succeeded without him. Her middle of the night conclave/massacre wasn’t strategy or sneakiness, it was just sheer brawn. She saw the chance and went for it. She lusted for power. She used her strength and her violence to take it. She took out the eyes of an advisor instead of trying to woo him. She cut off the heads of the noviciates instead of just winning on her own, which she easily could have. She took the chip from ALIE, even though Murphy told her not too, because she thought it would give her true power. Ontari was all about glory. She wanted to be the Commander because she wanted to win. 

Roma

Sadly we didn’t see a lot of Roma, but girl was brave. She never hesitated when the group needed to send out a rescue party. She grabbed a weapon and ran off to help. She did it because the group needed her, and she was there. 

Paxton McCreary

McCreary is such a Gryffindor. He isn’t that smart, or that conniving, but he made his way to leadership by sheer force and pressure. He succeeded by taking what other, more tactical leaders left behind when he took power from them with brute force. He blew up the world, because if he couldn’t lead it, then no one could have it. All bravado, all the time. 

Cage Wallace

Cage Wallace wanted to be the man who brought his people back to the ground, and he was willing to do whatever it took to get there. He utilised his fathers foundation, Dr. Tsing’s mind, and his own charm to get himself into power, and once he was there, he would stop at nothing to get his way. I feel like he could also be a Slytherin, but I dont think he himself was actually the mastermind behind the planning. He saw what Dr. Tsing could do, and what it could get them, and he convinced the people he needed to put himself into power so he could use her to get it. I think he was much more nerve and gusto than anything else. 

Maya Vie

My sweet, brave girl. Maya was a character that came off as tymid and fearful sometimes, but that was such a complete misdirect. She was a force of nature. She fought back against the world she had grown up in because, even if it meant her own death, she knew the right thing to do, and she was going to do it. She helped Jasper, she helped Bellamy, and in the end, when she was being hunted by her own people, after her father was killed and her world was destroyed, she was still ready to stand up and die for her cause. Bravery ran through her veins, and her strength was inspiring. 

Of course these are my personal opinions, and how I see these characters. Enjoy!
