I think complex characters are too difficult to simply stick in one house. Just like people. We see what we want to see and block out the rest. But I agree – from what I’ve seen? Totally a Gryffindor.

Yup. It’s much easier to go by the whole “brave, smart, evil, miscellaneous” groupings when you have less complex characters. I tend to approach it like I do any other AU: what are the most important traits of these characters? What do I think they would hold onto as core parts of their personalities regardless of what universe they show up in? What do they value the most? So of course my interpretations are going to be different from everyone else’s because what I think is the “core” of these characters will be different from what someone else thinks is the “core” of the characters. 

That being said: 
Rey’s a Gryffindor. Brave, reckless, good heart, would fight you behind a Denny’s? Gryffindor.
