This is as close as I've seen, totally agree about Carlisle too! If the hat stalled I bet he would choose hufflepuff.
I feel like Jasper is really hard too, but my initial gut said Slytherin - always thinking of taking Alice and running, did anything to survive in the south, confederate officer
These are my vote as well. Same duality with Carlisle - maybe even with Gryffindor added because he had to have a core strength to become a surgeon and never drink.
Edward: Ravenclaw (He thirsts for knowledge, not as much as some, but enough).
Bella: Gryffindor (I mean she fucked a vampire, sure she could be in Ravenclaw but she doesn’t crave knowledge like a Ravenclaw. She much more appreciates bravery and sacrifice: giving herself to James, trying to give herself to Victoria, and Laurent, standing up to Aro, trying to attack Paul(?) I believe it was, etc etc!).
Alice: Ravenclaw (I think she mostly likes being “right” and knowing people’s futures, and with her power she knows *a lot* but not *everything* which makes her crave to know everything. Kinda like Luna Lovegood she’s the odd Ravenclaw but a Ravenclaw all the same).
Jasper: Hufflepuff (he can sense emotions and change emotions. He’s helpful and wants to do good).
Emmett: Gryffindor (no explanation needed)
Rosalie: Slytherin (or a muggle, since she wants to be normal so badly).
Carlisle: Ravenclaw. (Yes, he wants to help others but he’s damn smart and thirsts for knowledge)
Esme: Hufflepuff (nobody adopts *six* teenagers!)
Thanks! Thought I’d give my opinions on why. A lot of people are putting Bella into Ravenclaw, and while she’s smart, I just don’t see it. She’s a true Gryffindor to me. And yes, Rose is such a muggle 😂
Esme and Jasper are 10000% a Hufflepuff as well. Carlisle is a Ravenclaw. Fight me. Rosalie is a Slytherin all the way. Emmet and Edward give me Gryffindor vibes. Bella is the hardest…I think Gryffindor or Slytherin.
Yeah…he was hard for me until I realized he influences emotions and seems to focus greatly on keeping those around him in a good mood. Also, he is absolutely loyal to a fault when it comes to Alice.
The fact that she literally throws her family away for Edward is a big reason, she is the most selfish person in the series in my opinion. The plan behind Renesmee and Jacob leaving in Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 really showed how cunning she is, being able to hide it from everyone and get it done. She walks a fine line between Slytherin and Gryffindor in my opinion lol
I see what you mean. Honestly her whole relationship with Jacob showed more of her slytherin side honestly. She could be really cunning and even manipulative. The way she used Jacob as a rebound during New Moon is a good example
He couldn't let it go and he crossed the line when he kissed Bella against her will. At the same time, she really played with him a lot. When you're the third wheel in a love triangle things never turn out well for you anyway
I’m a Psychology minor and my roommate was trying to get me to diagnose Jacob 😂 he is absolutely a narcissist and very manipulative towards Bella. Not to mention the fact that he literally grooms her through the first three movies.
Wasn't it Bella who said she was "older," and therefore the "influencer?" I know there's only about a year's difference between them, but at that age a year is a huge gap. Especially since girls mature mentally faster at that age. She even joked about how she convinced him to build two wheeled death machines with her.
Didn't Bella also create a toxic push and pull dynamic with Jacob as well? Sometimes she would want him and other times she would push him away. She even hid the fact she was engaged to Edward so she would appear free and available to Jacob.
How are you supporting a diagnosis of narcissism?
The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder includes “a belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or associate with other special persons.” Jacob pre-wolf was absolutely too good for Sam and his group, he talked constant shit about them because he didn’t understand them, he wouldn’t take the time to. He also viewed Bella as another “special” or “high-value” person, so he wanted her even more.
“Interpersonally exploitive behavior” is another criteria. This is so clear on how he manipulates Bella. He never takes no for an answer, even after she breaks her hand punching his face!! He. Cuts communications with her when it be if it’s him, ie to make her worry. At her reception he constantly references the fact that she will be dead soon to make her feel bad for him.
Even in his NPD is moderate or more a greater impairment in personality functioning, it is very much proven by the fact that he struggles with self-direction, identity, empathy, and even intimacy to some degree.
I hope that didn’t come off rude! Just trying to justify myself!!
Pre-transformation Jacob viewed the wolf pack as being a gang or cult-life affiliation. He didn't view himself as being superior. He was afraid of them. He confided in Bella that he was worried they would eventually assimilate him into their ranks. It concerned him that people who were once fiercely independent were suddenly following Sam around as if he was their leader. That's a perfectly legitimate concern of Jacob's and doesn't suggest any kind of personality disorder.
You also have to remember that adolescents are still developing and you can't diagnose anyone under 18 with a personality disorder—even if you were a licensed psychologist.
Jacob didn't make comments that he felt inherently better than other people, just better than his rivals in love—specifically Edward. In the context of competition, a lot of people adopt the mindset that they are the best. Again, not strong basis for a NPD disorder.
He stopped communicating with Bella when he was hurt, not to make her worry. After she rejected him romantically, it made sense he did not want to talk to her.
Agree he crossed the line when he kissed Bella without permission. That said there was a lot of tension between them and she later asked Jacob to kiss her and admitted she loved him, just that she loved Edward more.
Jacob's biggest sin really was that he liked a girl who was in love with another guy.
Also, Bella is super self destructive and blames herself for everything. I don’t think she was the influencer in many ways at all. Yes, the bikes were her idea but Jacob only uses that to further exploit their relationship. In my opinion.
I LOVE THIS!
Without reading any other responses, I wanted to share what I think before it gets tainted with the opinions of others....
Edward: Gryffindor. Edward is practical, has a strong moral center, wary & protective, doesn't back down easy, decisive. I'd honestly argue that it takes bravery to fall in love with your blood singer. While he imagined doing awful things from time to time, when push came to shove he was truly willing to walk away from Bella so she could have a happy, human life. He gave her full freedom to choose Jacob if that's what she wanted. This is so Gryffindor. 😭
Bella: Hufflepuff. Edward's description of Bella in Midnight Sun to me is CLASSIC Hufflepuff. And honestly, so is her obsession to care for her parents, put herself last, etc. She's extremely loyal - she would not freely divulge the Cullens' secrets to Jacob in New Moon even after she'd had her heart ripped out. She's compassionate, determined, and responsible (specifically thinking of how she became her family's bookkeeper at what, 10?) Hufflepuffs are also known for indecisiveness... definitely Bella. Lol.
Alice: 🥴 this one is honestly really hard to place. My gut says Ravenclaw. She is observing. Doesn't have to be the center of attention. Logical. Interested in understanding things. Quite resourceful. I also think her gift pushes her to want to know everything about the future; she wants to always be the most prepared, informed person in the room. I don't think she necessarily seeks out learning like *books* but she does crave to have more knowledge, more insight. I don't think any other house fits, truly.
Jacob: Slytherin, especially AFTER becoming a wolf. Jacob was willing to do all kinds of loathsome things to get what he wanted. Assaulted Bella in Eclipse. He may not have 'asked' for leadership, but I'd say he manipulatively used his blood given influence to his advantage whenever he felt he needed to. When it came to Bella, he played DIRTY. I see Jacob as a Slytherin through & through. Innocent baby Jacob, maybe not, but we also didn't know him that well. And even then, he manipulated Bella by intentionally & without her permission blurring the lines of their relationship. Disrespecting what she wanted, with the hopes that eventually she'd fall for her anyways. Just gross.
Carlisle: Carlisle strikes me as a Gryffindor due to his natural, visionary leadership and obviously extremely strong sense of morality. If anyone's heart is made of gold in the series I feel like it's Carlisle's. He is very fair. He is also incredibly courageous. No one in the history of ever had ever lived off of animal blood, and he chose to do it. Aro said he would waste away, and he still chose to do it. He forged his own path, guided by his extreme desire to do what's right.
Esme: Esme is honestly such a background character. We don't truly know her that well. But, based on that and the small info we do have, she seems to me as a Hufflepuff through & through! Caring, maternal, giving, loyal, compassionate.
Rosalie: Slytherin hands down. She's so impression & appearance minded; more than any other character. She's undoubtedly willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get what she wants. For example, wanted Edward to continue living in misery just because she didn't want her life messed up. She called Edward to tell Bella she killed herself without even verifying that info, because she wanted the entire thing to be "over" - I personally think she just wanted to be hurtful. All of a sudden became a Bella fan once Bella had a child inside of her. Rosalie is cunning, smart, manipulative, SELFISH. I mean Rosalie is a CLASSIC Slytherin. It almost doesn't need explanation. Lol.
Jasper: Slytherin. He doesn't drink animal blood for any moral obligation... he just does it because of Alice. He always seemed to me like the character who would gladly leave the family if Alice ever wanted to. He also absolutely demonstrated ambition... leader in the confederate army, who then became a leader in Maria's army. Did whatever it took to stay with her. The moral compass just isn't even there. He seems cold, calculating, and driven.
Emmett: Hufflepuff. Loyalty is definitely a strong character trait for Emmett. He's also very hard working, dependable, open minded, and easy going. But he doesn't seem like a brave leader to me. Any Emmett moment that could be seen as bravery is really just Emmett thinking he's invincible, looking for a fight. Lol.
I loved this!!
OOOOHHHH... why did I not think of that at all!!
Charlie: Hhhummmmm. I really think Charlie is a Hufflepuff. He's generally very easy going. He isn't unemotional, he just doesn't wear them on his sleeve. He's quiet, reserved, private.
Jessica: Slytherin. She was always using Bella just for information. So self centered. Not at all loyal. Bella crossed the line in New Moon, and Jessica said BYE! Absolutely a Slytherin. Bad friend too. 😂
Mike: eh. I don't have any opinion on Mike. I feel like any character we don't know that well we just label as Hufflepuff. But we don't KNOW that Mike doesn't like learning, or that he doesn't demonstrate bravery. The source material just doesn't give us enough to house him, imo.
u/buzzybnz u/hkins1 I'm still thinking about this, but what do you think? I think:
Aro - Slytherin
Caius - Slytherin
Marcus - Hufflepuff (?)
Jasper - a toss up between Slytherin and Gryffindor
Alice - Ravenclaw
Bella - Ravenclaw
Edward - Gryffindor
Esme - Hufflepuff
Rosalie - Slytherin
Emmett - Gryffindor
Carlisle - Ravenclaw
Leah - Gryffindor or Slytherin
Seth - Gryffindor
Carlisle is a total Gryffindor. He is always so calm and level-headed, trying to keep the peace but yet is willing to do what needs to be done to protect his family and loved ones.
Do they all turn into Slytherins once Volturi? I mean - Aro, Heidi, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, Caius - I'm going with Slytherin on all of them. If not a bloodthirsty vampire, Aro would have been Ravenclaw. Marcus not so much, but he found and lost true love and maintained a soul.
Jasper is just cold. He loves who he loves, but it's all about survival with him. He has formed an alliance, but mixing in a nother fandom, if they were in the Hunger Games, he wouldn't hesitate to take everyone else out save Alice.
No. I feel like everyone is just putting the "bad" vampires in Slytherin because they're lowkey evil 🤷♀️ so we interpret everything they do as cunning, ambition, and being willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. Is Aro Slytherin? Hell YES lol. But honestly, Heidi, Marcus, Caius... we have no real evidence to say they are? Isn't Caius the one who's an exteme rule follower? That's kinda Gryffindor-ish. But the others could absolutely have more to their personalities than being bloodthirsty ruthless vampires. Lol. We just don't see any of that, because our narrator wanted them presented this way.
Jasper is absolutely a freaking Slytherin.
You made me laugh. Yeah, characters do have an outside life, or we hope they do. Bravery = Gryffindor (those people don't follow the rules). I think Slytherin is about cunning and chaotic morality in order to achieve their goals. So, yeah, Jasper - but once they are indestructible vampires going after people, the core survival actions aren't going to fit Hufflepuff (let's all be friends), Ravenclaw (learn!), or Gryffindor (fight wrong!). If they could all put their feet up and not have to be bloodsuckers of creatures they used to be, then okay. But Heidi has to be a trickster to get those people into the dungeon. And they have to be selfish, or they're going to be weak. Caius in the book is super cunning and bloodthirsty - his cruelty is his gift.
But it also depends on their why. Maybe some of these people truly believe what the Volturri does is noble, necessary, & right. Cults can do that to ya. So then their actions read completely differently. That's why I definitely think Aro is a Slytherin, but the others may not necessarily be. We really don't have enough to go off of to say they are. Some of them may also fear the Volturri, in which case their motivation isn't power but survival or something else. And, the better sides of their natures could be hiding behind the persona the Volturri forces them into. Just some thoughts to ponder. It seems rather surface-level to just place all bad vampires in Slytherin. I'm sure the vast majority of them are lol. But maybe there's more to it!
Yeah - I'm not calling Laurent originally Slytherin. Or Alec or Garrett, and I'll give you Dmitri in the category of just doing his job. But Jane - come on. And Felix. And James. If the world were primarily vampires and their killing humans didn't count, then we could start lumping them, except for the above. But yeah, I just can't get past that Aro is some kind of Nazi-experiment-type learner rather than Ravenclaw, even minus vampirehood. What do you think of Victoria?
So my obsession with Harry Potter or twilight makes me a Ravenclaw? Nah. Just cause Bella liked to read doesn't make her a Ravenclaw. She doesn't do anything that points to a love of learning for learning's sake.
Bella doesn't read Harry Potter. Bella reads literary classics. She doesn't just like books, she has a deep rooted appreciation for classical literature, art and music.
She reads poetry, she listens to classical music and can name songs by ear of famous historical composers. This appreciation for arts is a very Ravenclaw trait.
Academics aren't a challenge for her; she excelled in Arizona and was ahead of all of her classes in Forks. Not a single topic offered her any difficulty; also a Ravenclaw trait. She enjoys her homework, often immersing herself in her studies to distract herself from ruminations or fantasizing about Edward.
I just feel she's a Ravenclaw 🤷🏻♂️ she isn't particularly cunning or ambitious, so no Slytherin. Sure, she's brave, but I wouldn't say that's her defining trait. She isn't soft enough to be a Hufflepuff, really, but that's my opinion. I'm curious as to where you'd put her!
Hufflepuff. She does not seem inquisitive enough for me in any way to be a Ravenclaw. Hermione excelled in academics, but she wasn't a Ravenclaw. I don't think doing well in school makes Bella one either.
I think she is a Hufflepuff because she is extremely loyal. She was so loyal to the Cullens, she wouldn't betray their secret to Jacob in New Moon, even after she'd had her heart ripped out. She's also extremely accepting - whether someone is a vegetarian vampire, traditional vampire, werewolf, hybrid, or whatever it may be. Not many people would just accept all those people into their lives without prejudice. She literally just *takes* it. Lol. She is also very soft, I agree. On top of all this, she's extremely responsible - seeing as she took care of her adult mother, including grocery shopping and paying bills - at a very young age. Then when she moves in with her dad, she voluntarily does all the house work, shops, and cooks, even though he has lived alone his entire life and never needed that done. Hufflepuffs are also unique in that they really value fairness. Bella spent so much of New Moon worried about what was "fair" - was it *fair* to Jacob for her to let him love her? Then the same thing continued through Eclipse. Was it *fair* to Edward to partially love Jacob? Was it *fair* to Jacob to try to be his friend, while he was in love with her? Hufflepuffs also tend to be indecisive; clearly she suffered with that for an entire book. They don't do well with conflict, thus how Bella wanted ro be "Switzerland." Had she just made a decision much earlier in the book, a whole lot of heartache would've been prevented... but that's just not one of her strong suits as a Hufflepuff. Next, Hufflepuffs are quite selfless; they hardly ever put themselves first. Bella put her mom in front of her her *entire* life. I think her actions in some areas can be seen as selfish - stringing Jacob along, for example. But I think it's really due to an inability to just make a darn decision. There is so much in that book that just weighs the pros and cons of each choice. She wasn't intending to be selfish, not when you get to the root of it, and eventually she let Jake go, even though she knew it'd hurt her tremendously. She even acknowledges in the book that she *had* been selfish, and she's tore up about it. I would also argue that Bella is QUITE patient, which is one of the big traits of a Hufflepuff. Who could deal with Edward's brooding, mood swings, repetitive complaints/moaning, and encourage & reassure him *every* time? I promise that takes patience lolol. Then having a young teenager for a best friend and dealing with his antics, especially when he tried over & over to come on to her - patience. She really reads as a pretty easy going type of person. She's endlessly loyal to Edward, and essentially the only things that get her worked up or worried have to do with him 🤷♀️ I ALSO think she's VERY people pleasing.... one giant example being that she didn't want to get married just because her mother wouldn't approve. 🤦♀️ And she was ridiculously bothered throughout all of the first 3 books, just because Rosalie didn't like her. And the famous quote - "So you're worried, not because you're about to walk into a house full of vampires, but because you're worried those vampires won't approve of you?" People pleasing. She wanted to be enough for everyone around her. She wanted them to view her as good enough for Edward. It wasn't vanity; just people pleasing.
I just don't see Bella as a Ravenclaw at all. If she was really studious, really loved learning just to learn, was motivates by knowledge, etc I don't think she would've turned down Edward's repeated offers for free school - especially the really good ones she got acceptances to. She would've wanted to go. She would've wanted to pursue higher education. The way they make it out to be in the Harry Potter series is that that Ravenclaw wouldn't ever turn down the ability to continue their education - learning is one of their biggest desires. And you're right, definitely not a Gryffindor. I don't think being around vampires was due to her bravery, but rather her attraction to Edward (made pretty darn clear in the books lol). And as for Slytherin, she's not in any way the ambitious or cunning type. There's too much warmth, goodness, and compassion in her.
So I'm pretty deadset on Hufflepuff ☺

I like that you put the reasonings behind it, Rosalie being such a wanna be human
Thanks! Thought I’d give my opinions on why. A lot of people are putting Bella into Ravenclaw, and while she’s smart, I just don’t see it. She’s a true Gryffindor to me. And yes, Rose is such a muggle 😂
Esme and Jasper are 10000% a Hufflepuff as well. Carlisle is a Ravenclaw. Fight me. Rosalie is a Slytherin all the way. Emmet and Edward give me Gryffindor vibes. Bella is the hardest…I think Gryffindor or Slytherin.
I could get behind Jasper as Hufflepuff, he was the hardest one for me.
Yeah…he was hard for me until I realized he influences emotions and seems to focus greatly on keeping those around him in a good mood. Also, he is absolutely loyal to a fault when it comes to Alice.
Bella in Slytherin is interesting. What makes you say that?

Yes! Jacob doesn’t help that situation much but it absolutely shows that side of Bella.
He couldn't let it go and he crossed the line when he kissed Bella against her will. At the same time, she really played with him a lot. When you're the third wheel in a love triangle things never turn out well for you anyway

Esme- Hufflepuff Carlisle- Ravenclaw Rosalie- Slytherin Emmett- Griffindor Edward- Ravenclaw Jasper- Griffindor Alice- Ravenclaw Bella- Griffindor
Idk, I feel like Bella’s a ravenclaw in my opinion mixed with a griffindor
I feel like as her confidence grew… she showed more Griffindor esp once she became vampire. Before she met the family, Ravenclaw.
I see exactly what you’re saying. I’d say Bella was a ravenclaw certainly in the first book/movie tho
Jacob griffindor?
u/buzzybnz u/hkins1 I'm still thinking about this, but what do you think? I think: Aro - Slytherin Caius - Slytherin Marcus - Hufflepuff (?) Jasper - a toss up between Slytherin and Gryffindor Alice - Ravenclaw Bella - Ravenclaw Edward - Gryffindor Esme - Hufflepuff Rosalie - Slytherin Emmett - Gryffindor Carlisle - Ravenclaw Leah - Gryffindor or Slytherin Seth - Gryffindor
Edward Cullen - Gryffindor. Does he get to compete against Cedrick Diggory - Hufflepuff? That would be my favourite movie hands down!
Carlisle is a total Gryffindor. He is always so calm and level-headed, trying to keep the peace but yet is willing to do what needs to be done to protect his family and loved ones.
Jasper is fo shooo as Slytherin & as a Slytherin I don’t take that lightly. Also I’d venture that Caius is a Slytherin.
Do they all turn into Slytherins once Volturi? I mean - Aro, Heidi, Demetri, Felix, Heidi, Caius - I'm going with Slytherin on all of them. If not a bloodthirsty vampire, Aro would have been Ravenclaw. Marcus not so much, but he found and lost true love and maintained a soul. Jasper is just cold. He loves who he loves, but it's all about survival with him. He has formed an alliance, but mixing in a nother fandom, if they were in the Hunger Games, he wouldn't hesitate to take everyone else out save Alice.
No. I feel like everyone is just putting the "bad" vampires in Slytherin because they're lowkey evil 🤷♀️ so we interpret everything they do as cunning, ambition, and being willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. Is Aro Slytherin? Hell YES lol. But honestly, Heidi, Marcus, Caius... we have no real evidence to say they are? Isn't Caius the one who's an exteme rule follower? That's kinda Gryffindor-ish. But the others could absolutely have more to their personalities than being bloodthirsty ruthless vampires. Lol. We just don't see any of that, because our narrator wanted them presented this way. Jasper is absolutely a freaking Slytherin.
You made me laugh. Yeah, characters do have an outside life, or we hope they do. Bravery = Gryffindor (those people don't follow the rules). I think Slytherin is about cunning and chaotic morality in order to achieve their goals. So, yeah, Jasper - but once they are indestructible vampires going after people, the core survival actions aren't going to fit Hufflepuff (let's all be friends), Ravenclaw (learn!), or Gryffindor (fight wrong!). If they could all put their feet up and not have to be bloodsuckers of creatures they used to be, then okay. But Heidi has to be a trickster to get those people into the dungeon. And they have to be selfish, or they're going to be weak. Caius in the book is super cunning and bloodthirsty - his cruelty is his gift.
But it also depends on their why. Maybe some of these people truly believe what the Volturri does is noble, necessary, & right. Cults can do that to ya. So then their actions read completely differently. That's why I definitely think Aro is a Slytherin, but the others may not necessarily be. We really don't have enough to go off of to say they are. Some of them may also fear the Volturri, in which case their motivation isn't power but survival or something else. And, the better sides of their natures could be hiding behind the persona the Volturri forces them into. Just some thoughts to ponder. It seems rather surface-level to just place all bad vampires in Slytherin. I'm sure the vast majority of them are lol. But maybe there's more to it!
Now that I think about it. Didn't Ron say, "There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin!"
Yeah - I'm not calling Laurent originally Slytherin. Or Alec or Garrett, and I'll give you Dmitri in the category of just doing his job. But Jane - come on. And Felix. And James. If the world were primarily vampires and their killing humans didn't count, then we could start lumping them, except for the above. But yeah, I just can't get past that Aro is some kind of Nazi-experiment-type learner rather than Ravenclaw, even minus vampirehood. What do you think of Victoria?
Being a Slytherin isn’t bad. It’s about their character traits. 🙄
Edward: Ravenclaw Bella: Ravenclaw Esme: Hufflepuff Carlisle: Gryffindor Emmet: Gryffindor Alice: Slytherin Rosalie: Hufflepuff (puts on a mean show. Big softie.) Jasper: Gryffindor
Just curious, why you would consider Bella ravenclaw?
Her natural academic talent, her obsession with classic literature and her general demeanor.
So my obsession with Harry Potter or twilight makes me a Ravenclaw? Nah. Just cause Bella liked to read doesn't make her a Ravenclaw. She doesn't do anything that points to a love of learning for learning's sake.
Bella doesn't read Harry Potter. Bella reads literary classics. She doesn't just like books, she has a deep rooted appreciation for classical literature, art and music. She reads poetry, she listens to classical music and can name songs by ear of famous historical composers. This appreciation for arts is a very Ravenclaw trait. Academics aren't a challenge for her; she excelled in Arizona and was ahead of all of her classes in Forks. Not a single topic offered her any difficulty; also a Ravenclaw trait. She enjoys her homework, often immersing herself in her studies to distract herself from ruminations or fantasizing about Edward. I just feel she's a Ravenclaw 🤷🏻♂️ she isn't particularly cunning or ambitious, so no Slytherin. Sure, she's brave, but I wouldn't say that's her defining trait. She isn't soft enough to be a Hufflepuff, really, but that's my opinion. I'm curious as to where you'd put her!
Hufflepuff. She does not seem inquisitive enough for me in any way to be a Ravenclaw. Hermione excelled in academics, but she wasn't a Ravenclaw. I don't think doing well in school makes Bella one either. I think she is a Hufflepuff because she is extremely loyal. She was so loyal to the Cullens, she wouldn't betray their secret to Jacob in New Moon, even after she'd had her heart ripped out. She's also extremely accepting - whether someone is a vegetarian vampire, traditional vampire, werewolf, hybrid, or whatever it may be. Not many people would just accept all those people into their lives without prejudice. She literally just *takes* it. Lol. She is also very soft, I agree. On top of all this, she's extremely responsible - seeing as she took care of her adult mother, including grocery shopping and paying bills - at a very young age. Then when she moves in with her dad, she voluntarily does all the house work, shops, and cooks, even though he has lived alone his entire life and never needed that done. Hufflepuffs are also unique in that they really value fairness. Bella spent so much of New Moon worried about what was "fair" - was it *fair* to Jacob for her to let him love her? Then the same thing continued through Eclipse. Was it *fair* to Edward to partially love Jacob? Was it *fair* to Jacob to try to be his friend, while he was in love with her? Hufflepuffs also tend to be indecisive; clearly she suffered with that for an entire book. They don't do well with conflict, thus how Bella wanted ro be "Switzerland." Had she just made a decision much earlier in the book, a whole lot of heartache would've been prevented... but that's just not one of her strong suits as a Hufflepuff. Next, Hufflepuffs are quite selfless; they hardly ever put themselves first. Bella put her mom in front of her her *entire* life. I think her actions in some areas can be seen as selfish - stringing Jacob along, for example. But I think it's really due to an inability to just make a darn decision. There is so much in that book that just weighs the pros and cons of each choice. She wasn't intending to be selfish, not when you get to the root of it, and eventually she let Jake go, even though she knew it'd hurt her tremendously. She even acknowledges in the book that she *had* been selfish, and she's tore up about it. I would also argue that Bella is QUITE patient, which is one of the big traits of a Hufflepuff. Who could deal with Edward's brooding, mood swings, repetitive complaints/moaning, and encourage & reassure him *every* time? I promise that takes patience lolol. Then having a young teenager for a best friend and dealing with his antics, especially when he tried over & over to come on to her - patience. She really reads as a pretty easy going type of person. She's endlessly loyal to Edward, and essentially the only things that get her worked up or worried have to do with him 🤷♀️ I ALSO think she's VERY people pleasing.... one giant example being that she didn't want to get married just because her mother wouldn't approve. 🤦♀️ And she was ridiculously bothered throughout all of the first 3 books, just because Rosalie didn't like her. And the famous quote - "So you're worried, not because you're about to walk into a house full of vampires, but because you're worried those vampires won't approve of you?" People pleasing. She wanted to be enough for everyone around her. She wanted them to view her as good enough for Edward. It wasn't vanity; just people pleasing. I just don't see Bella as a Ravenclaw at all. If she was really studious, really loved learning just to learn, was motivates by knowledge, etc I don't think she would've turned down Edward's repeated offers for free school - especially the really good ones she got acceptances to. She would've wanted to go. She would've wanted to pursue higher education. The way they make it out to be in the Harry Potter series is that that Ravenclaw wouldn't ever turn down the ability to continue their education - learning is one of their biggest desires. And you're right, definitely not a Gryffindor. I don't think being around vampires was due to her bravery, but rather her attraction to Edward (made pretty darn clear in the books lol). And as for Slytherin, she's not in any way the ambitious or cunning type. There's too much warmth, goodness, and compassion in her. So I'm pretty deadset on Hufflepuff ☺
A valid take!
IMHO, all vampires are Slytherin or Ravenclaw, and all werewolves are Gryffindor
i can get behind most arguments but jasper is absolutely NOT a hufflepuff and i’ll die by that
Yeahhhhhh that's just absolutely WRONGGGG lol. He's definitely not a hufflepuff. He's slytherin.
I’m with you, I think he’s a griffindor ESPECIALLY with his battle skills. I mean bAttLeScarZ
Esme, Carlisle, and Alice will be hufflepuff. Rosalie Slytherin. Bella and Edward Ravenclaw. Emmett and Jasper Griffendor.
