The houses are one of the most important and unique parts of Mistfell Vale, and are based on your character's personality and outlook on the world! This is a page dedicated to everything about the houses.
Houses are not "good" or "bad"; the traits that each house embodies can belong to 'good' or 'bad' characters, and are merely ways that these characters interpret and interact with the world. A character doesn't have to embody all of their house's traits, either - and you can choose which house you'd like your character to be ranked as! If you can't decide, then leadership can decide for you. :)
Also keep in mind that a character doesn't have to fit all of a house's characteristics to fit into that house! Maybe a particularly prominent trait of theirs is in one house even though they have others of other houses - or maybe there are simply more traits that fit with one than another, even if others might be more prominent. A character might value a certain trait as well, and that can be enough to place them in a certain house, too.

Elkenfrey
The Basics
Elkenfrey is known for creativity, open-mindedness, and understanding - they can often be off-beat and eccentric. Elkenfreys are often "outcasts" in society, although they don't have to be! They are often those with niche interests or passions who follow the beat of their own drum in life, and tend to be focused inward. This causes the typical Elkenfrey to be understanding and accepting of others' quirks and intricacies, and they are typically non-judgmental.
On the other hand, Elkenfreys can have a hard time with acting on their ideas, and tend to struggle with ambivalence. If an Elkenfrey has a lot of different interests or passions, they can "flit" from project to project and may leave some behind, unfinished.
Common Traits: Creative, nonjudgmental, intellectual, off-beat, philosophical, non-linear, mindful
Quick Facts

Hawkesond
The Basics
Hawkesond is known for passion, motivation, and warmth - they can often be impulsive or intense. Hawkesonds usually have a lot of energy, and can be found in positions of influence or leadership; they often have a rather large social circle and don't tend to be afraid to approach others (although these aren't always true!). Hawkesonds also tend to be very in tune with their emotions, and defend themselves and their friends with vigor, even if it seems inconsequential to others.
However, Hawkesonds with too much of this trait can be naturally defensive or overly emotional. Intensity is also a common sight in members of this house if their inner fire becomes too strong and turns into an inferno!
