Ravenclaw Characters Traits
Only now writing this post did I realize that there aren’t many notable male characters in Ravenclaw among the students. Among the teachers, we have Flitwick and Lockhart (who isn’t that smart, so I wonder what made him be in this house. If anyone knows the answer, let me know in the comments)
So, let’s look at Ranvenclaw’s two most striking students, who have very distinct and identifiable characteristics and archetypes.
Luna Lovegood Characteristics
Luna is a character who gives us the impression of not being very relevant in the story until we realize that her intuitive personality and creative mind are essential to the success of our trio of heroes’ journey.
I love how Luna demystifies the misconception that being distracted is a defect that makes you an outsider. Luna Lovegood shows that what society calls distraction is just a characteristic of people with a very active imagination and a rarer and undervalued type of intelligence, but which differentiates those in the world who embrace this inner power and magic.
She is pure creative authenticity. Everyone thinks she is weird and she doesn’t care. Below are some characteristics of our Ravenclaw protagonist, Luna Lovegood.
- Absolutely sensitive, they fall in love with every ray of sunshine warming up their skin and can almost feel the starlight reflecting on their own eyes.
- Loves everything different from the mainstream
- Treasures every weird creature in nature, from plants to animals to outsiders.
- Have a very innocent energy, making people around her awake an instinct of protection towards her.
- The purest heart
- Very authentic and creative
- Mystical fairycore aura
- Ethereal aura
- Daydreamer
- See good in all things
- Optimist
- Love dreamy soft pastel aesthetics
- Prefer to open up about their life with the trees, the moon, and the river than with people.
Random quotes that would represent Luna:
“WHOA look at the moon“
“What are you grateful for today?“
“ No one sees what you see even if they see it too“
Cho Chang Traits
Harry Potter’s first girlfriend, for whom he is not ready yet, because, due to his own insecurities and internal shadows that he needs to deal with, he doesn’t know how to deal with her sensitivity.
- Cute quite girl
- Very emotional and sensitive
- The only girl on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Like Harry, she is the seeker, which says a lot about her focus ability and inner strength.
- Gentle badass
- Unapologetically cries when having a broken heart
- Avid readers
- Introvert
- Relatively stable
- A bit of a crybaby
Random quotes that would represent Cho:
“But who says soft cant be strong“
“tenderness is a virtue“
