I'm thinking Orca, Yendi, and Jhereg showcase their houses pretty well; Athyra I'm not sure about, and Phoenix always seemed more about the Empire and gods than the Phoenix in particular--I still don't have a great sense for what Phoenix are like as a house. Dragon yes. Teckla yes. I think my weakest "House Sense" definitely comes from Athyra or Phoenix. Max -- Teach him horsemanship, and archery, and to hate every lie. -Herodotus, on raising sons
