Lily would be Gryffindor, too, cursed with a dose of pure evil grafted onto her soul, carrying a distinguishing mark, raised as an orphan until a weird ragged guy told her an incredible story that explained everything.
That’s an interesting comparison you make between the two. I never thought of that before Lily and Young Emma did mention Harry Potter as well.

Keeper of FelixJust started the OUAT House sorting discussion in the other thread so it doesn’t derail this thread
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixReviving this thread. (Thank god for the search function though I did come across some interesting threads in general discussion)
RG and I started having this discussion in the Harry Potter reread thread about which houses the characters would be in and rather than derail that thread, RG pointed me towards this one.
I looked up the house traits on Wikipedia and placed 20 Once characters in the houses I thought they’d be in. Do you agree/ disagree? What houses do you think would suit the Once characters?
Gryffindor values courage, bravery, nerve, and chivalry.
Belle- Because although she doesn’t fight monsters or whatever, she makes the hard decisions when it comes to Rumple. She doesn’t turn a blind eye to his misdeeds, she stands up for what is right even though it is hard for her to do so. An example being banishing Rumple from Storybrooke.Emma- Because, despite her experiences, she isn’t afraid to give people a second chance. She is willing to fight against forces greater than herself and sacrifice herself for the greater good.
Nealfire- Because, like Belle, he isn’t afraid to stand up to Rumple no matter how much it pains him to do so. He stands up for what is right, even when it’s hard to do so. He admits to his mistakes and strives to be the best he can be, both for the sake of his son and the general good.
Tinkerbell- Because she stood up for Regina even when others told her it was a lost cause. She continued trying to help, even defying her superior’s orders to give up, which cost her wings. In Neverland, despite feeling resentment, she continued to help Regina and went against Pan even though the risk of being found out could’ve meant certain death.
Jefferson- Because he made the hard decision to not interfere in his daughter’s life whilst she was under the curse. He chose not to ruin Grace’s happy cursed life, even though it meant she did not know who he was. For 28 years he watched his daughter from afar, letting her have the family life he believed he could not provide for her.
Mulan- Because, much like Jefferson, she chose to put the happiness of someone else over her own wants. She walked away to let Aurora have her happy ending with Philip rather than burden her with her feelings which would only have caused conflict.
Hufflepuff values hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty.
Robin- Because he has his moral code that he generally sticks to, even if it conflicts with what he wants. He would rather taker the slow honest road rather than take the morally dubious quicker road.
Charming- Because he has a strong sense of right and wrong in most matters. His weakness is his family, he’d do anything to protect them, even if it means going down a darker path than he is comfortable with.
Snow- Because she is very similar to Charming. She has a strong sense of right and wrong and isn’t afraid to fight the good fight no matter how long it takes. However, like Charming, her weakness is her family and her desire to protect her loved ones sometimes leads her to make rash decisions that is based on her emotions rather than logic
Felix- Because he is loyal, almost to a fault. He did not turn on Pan, whom he considered a friend, even though it would’ve been in his best interest to do so which suggests he considers betraying a friend to be morally wrong. His moral compass is skewed in Pan’s favour, but it could be argued that he was doing what he believed to be right in terms of saving his friend’s life and Neverland (if Pan had spun that line with everyone).
Archie- Because he does not judge people based on their past misdeeds. He understands that people make mistakes and will try and talk people out of making rash decisions. He provides a friendly ear to the likes of Regina and Rumple who otherwise would not have someone to talk to.
Red- Because she is loyal to her friends and believes in doing the right thing. She is protective of those she cares about.
Ravenclaw values intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit.
Rumple- Because although it seems he would fit into Slytherin, at his core Rumple has all of the above traits, he’s just using them negatively rather than positively.August- Because he just doesn’t seem to fit in any of the other houses. He doesn’t have the ruthless streak to be in Slytherin. He doesn’t have the courage or bravery to be in Gryffindor, instead thinking of his own needs above all others. He’s too selfish to be in Hufflepuff, he only came back to help Emma because it suited him to do so. He has intelligence and knowledge of matters others may not, but he does not use this knowledge for the greater good, only when it suits his needs.
Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness.
Henry- Because he has displayed cunning and resourcefulness. He has ambition, he wants to be a hero in the same way he views the rest of his family as heroes. He’s not above resorting to deceit to get his own way. Henry has leadership qualities, he often initiates his Operation Whatevers.
Regina- Because she is impatient when it comes to getting what she wants. Unlike Robin who would take the slow honest road, Regina will take the quick dishonest road to achieve her goal. Whilst Regina may justify her actions to herself by claiming it’s for another’s sake, she’s not afraid to throw someone under a bus, such as Belle, if it means she can achieve her goal.
Hook- Because when he wants something, he pursues it so tunnel vision to the point of obsession. He knows what he wants and demonstrates a strong level of determination to achieve his goal. Whether it be revenge on an enemy, or winning someone’s heart, Hook becomes so single focussed that anyone in his way had better watch out.
Zelena- Because undoubtedly she is a Slytherin through and through. She is determined to get what she wants, and resorts to underhanded tactics to get her way. She will use people as pawns as achieve her aims without thought. Zelena is nobody’s follower.
Pan- Because, much like Zelena, he is a Slytherin through and though. He is nobody’s follower, he is in charge and woe betide anyone who challenges him. He is resourceful and cunning, manipulating those around him to further his goals. Even those he considers friends are not immune to being tossed aside as soon as the moment is right.
Cora- Because her ambition knows no bounds. Her determination to get what she wants is unrivalled, affecting generations and the lives of others. Cora is nobody’s fool, you’re either with her or against her.

Keeper of FelixWouldn’t it be good if the show killed off Clara but kept it secret until the episode actually aired.

Keeper of FelixPerhaps the brother or father of Morgana? Or Morgana in disguise?
Morgana (disguising herself as a man): I need to come up with a name so nobody knows it me. I know, I’ll call myself Morgan! Nobody will see through that.
Maye we’ll see DarkEmma getting all protective of Henry?

Keeper of FelixNice dreamcatcher RG.
Maybe they need a symbol of love to defeat the DO Emma. Didn’t rump say that love can be held in objects or something when he was discussing the ribbons with Ingrid? So maybe, and hopefully to Hook’s dismay, the gang will have to seek out the dreamcatxher to use against her because despite what anyone says, it WAS TL. So maybe we wont need Nealfire.
I like this idea but as RG says not likely. The show has spent 2 seasons pushing CS, they’re not going to throw that away now by going “Oh remember that guy Emma really loved?”
They wont use the dreamctacher we know, that one is in NY, if they use another, will be the one in gold shop, bc in canon, the show did mentioned some meanings to the dreamcatcher( memories and keep nightmares out), so they can be used that way, maybe related to the Belle and Merida adventure they talked about it( i dont mind they conect it to RB), maybe to bring Rumple memories or something like that.
That would make sense if they use it on Rumple but on the downside it would mean he is still unconscious at this point.

All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixPOM, sorry I didn’t respond yesterday. I meant to. More or less agree on your placement except for Belle and Henry to certain degrees.
If it were straight up Disney Belle, then yeah I’d say Gryffindor was a much bigger possibility. But OUAT has taken Belle’s other big characteristic (smarts) and made it OUAT’s Belle defining (and only) characteristic by making her Google. I’d put her in Ravenclaw.
Henry: I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think his ability to be cunning and have guile is the first and biggest characteristic for the little lad because his cunning isn’t directed at getting himself ahead (he’s not really ambitious) it’s about righting past wrongs and family unity. I think he’s a Gryffindor or maybe Hufflepuff.
But again, that was rather the whole point of me asking everyone to place an OUAT character: it’s harder than it sounds and should be as equally hard to place Harry and the other students because humans are not static creatures with only one set of traits for their whole lives. We are creatures who react to stimuli based on traits, past history, and our own internal workings.
(ok, here endth my own personal problems with the Sorting Hat)
No worries. It certainly is harder to place some characters than others. I found August to be quite hard to place because he just doesn’t seem to fit the criteria that the houses are looking for. The reason I gave for putting him in Ravenclaw was literally because he didn’t seem to fit the other houses.
I can see why you’d put Belle in Ravenclaw, and in the majority of Harry Potter/RumBelle fanfics she is placed in that house because of being smart, however I placed her in Gryffindor because I could see the comparison to Neville Longbottom in that both had the courage to stand up to someone they care about even though it would’ve been easier not to.
Ambition I think is a double edged sword. It can have positive connotations eg a child wanting to be a (insert job) when they grow up, it gives something to strive for. However, it can also have negative connotations eg being dissatisfied with what you have and wanting more than what you’ve got. There is also a sense of ruthlessness associated with ambition eg “getting ahead of others”. When there’s only one job opening but four applicants, each one wants to prove they’re better than the others to get what they want.
On the surface, Henry doesn’t come across as ruthless so it seems odd to place him in Slytherin. However, the fact that he used his dead dad to emotionally manipulate Rumple into agreeing to let him work as an apprentice so Henry could snoop around the shop for Operation Mongoose which had nothing to do with Rumple seems a bit…..ruthless? It certainly came across that Henry didn’t care about actually spending time with Rumple and that it was all a ruse for the mission.
When I sorted the characters into the houses, I did it individually as in I didn’t go person a is in that house so person b should be there too, it was on a per character basis. Interestingly, Henry ended up in Slytherin with four of his family members, three of whom are related to each other: Regina, Cora and Zelena. The fact that you have three generations in one house suggests that certain traits are passed on and a parents can rub off on their child. It’s the old fashioned nature vs nurture debate. Henry’s blood relatives are dispersed amongst the other houses yet it seems Henry has somewhat followed after Regina, the woman who raised and nurtured him but is not blood related. I’m not saying Henry is going to go evil but he’s certainly not above resorting underhanded tactics.
I’m wondering whether I should create a thread for this particular aspect of Once characters and which houses they would be in. It’s an interesting subject and one that could be discussed at great length but I don’t want to derail this particular thread.

Her dress reminds me of Disney Wendy’s nightdress.
Uggggggggggggggggggh. Sorry but I CANNOT with giving the 13 a romantic love story. How about we develop him with *friends* first?? Not everything relates to romance, A and E.
I honestly don’t think this is going to be a long-term thing. Henry is at that age when he is going to start having an interest in girls (or they could make him gay but they don’t seem to be going that route). I’m expecting lots of awkward Henry. Or this girl is going to manipulate and use Henry whilst Henry is fawning all over her.
Since Once is fond of using Disney/Pixar, I’m expecting Henry’s first meeting with this girl to go something like this
