SPOILER!!: Eiji

He really needed to get the notion of Queen Beryl out of his mind if he was going to be of any level of efficiency this lesson.

Efficiency that included listening to what the woman was lecturing. Unfortunately...the Slytherin only really started tuning in when the handout was mentioned and then his attention was drawn to what was written there and trying to find what his four letters had been on it. Thankfully...his was at the top, so that saved a bit of time as he transcribed from handout to his own notes.

Only...what had been this A business and why was it not listed on this handout?

There was more instruction being given, and Eiji was not entirely sure what he felt about this. Personalities were not fixed as far as he was concerned. They could evolve and shift given life experiences. Though it was interesting to note that the other in the class that shared his same four letters were also Slytherins. That was a sort of case study he may be more inclined to look into, which houses were more prone to which of these random letters. Connecting them haphazardly to runes? Eh. He preferred Headmistress Hawthorne's approach to direct practicality of the uses of runes to this.

But.....he would...try.

Was there a rune of indifference and sarcasm? That was the one for him.

Thankfully, Missa's presence was calming. Enough so that his annoyance with this was dulled. Though she was clearly more into this than himself seeing as she practically had a full parchment of notes where as he had...only the bits that directly related to himself. He saw no need to make any notes about this personality type business other than what related to himself anyway.

"Hmm?" he murmured while tickling his nose with his quill as he glanced over to her. Of course, she was using that Ravenclaw brain of hers and rattling off a billion questions. Well, four for the time being but questioning with Missa was like chopping off the head of a hydra. Once one was gone, two more grew back in its place. But he would indulge, as he always did. "No," he shrugged easily, lifting one finger to indicate that he was responding to her first question and then lifted a second finger to move on to the second. Though first he peered over to look at her notes and smiled a bit. "Yes." And now for the third finger. "No." A fourth. "Yes. Though personality traits are stable over long periods and why the Sorting Hat is not premature decision making, per say. Stable for somewhere around 40 years, I've read."

And now to prepare for the follow up of eight questions.

But first... back to his notes real quick to narrow his traits down.

"I think you should list Sowilo in association with 'warm'," he noted casually while glancing over his select four and considering his own options. "Or Ingwaz."

She had assumed that's exactly what he might say, and it was comforting because some of these things in the list - made her seem like an ultimate sacrificing pushover and she honestly wasn't happy about it.

Nodding to suggestions of the runes, the brunette scribbled some more on her notes:

Quote:

Missa Renaldi
Fourth Year, Ravenclaw

ENFJ (-T): Protagonist

Positive??: Warm, Tolerant (although only to a point, not a push over okay?), Reliable (we do the best we can, can't make promises though), Passionate, Social, Team player (how is anything going to get done if one was not, honestly?)

Warm - Sowilo (the sun)
Reliable - Algiz (protection)
Over-thinker - Isa (to seek clarity)
Team player - Ehwaz (harmony, teamwork, trust)

After a bit of reading, and writing and re-writing the runes, she again turned to Eiji, "does this sound right?"
