Challenge 25: The Sorting Hat (entry #2): Blair Waldorf
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Character: Blair Waldorf
Sorting: The Slytherin house is traditionally home to those who are cunning, resourceful, ambitious, and who are highly determined. Those are traits that Blair embodies like very few other characters, even if most of those traits might come from her own insecurities. That's evidenced in the way she's often scheming around and sabotaging her competition, rarely leaving success to chance or to her own talents. Blair is achievement-oriented, and she'll use any means to achieve her ends, even though one could think there isn't much left for her to achieve - she's part of Manhattan's privileged elite, after all. She has everything. Or does she?
Blair also has a sensitive side - and no one can convince me that Slytherins don't have a sensitive side, it's just overlooked. She won't hesitate to come in the defense of people she cares about, and she has a way to put her friends' foes in their right place.
