Depend were you want her character to go. Do you want motivated, cunning, somewhat mischievous Sunset, then Slytherin. Do you want noble capricious, do or die Sunset, then Gryffindor. Do you want clever, dedicated, Ravenous for knowledge Sunset, then Ravenclaw. Do you want empathetic, loyal, true leader Sunset, Hufflepuff. It's your story, so it's up to you. Is the sorting more were her character is at, or is getting in a house to help shore up lacking qualities? Personally I like the idea of her going to Hufflepuff. It's certainly not representative of the qualities she starts with, but through her whole character arc (at least in the show) it definitely works. Of course there's the safe route, and I like the fan theory that Gryffindor is open to everyone, you only need to be brave enough to ask.

What are you even talking about? Who would go to Gryffindor or Slytherin?

Remember it's all about the choice, if Harry and Ron go to Gryffindor, what would Sunset gain by going to Slytherin? How well Sunset would tolerate Slytherin bigotry.

If Harry and Sunny go to Slytherin would that mean it's goodbuy Ron or would Ron would be willing to sacrifice Gryffindor to go with those two.

slytherin since it would open alot of new possibilities and since she would one of the few slytherin in the series that would be a decent person.

GRYTHENDOR because all the stuff happens to them if that simple

You have to think what would be more fitting for her. A snake in a lion's den, or a lion in a pit of vipers. She's intelligent and cunning but not foolish (which is a failing of Slytherin). But she's not about to jump in front of a bullet (either metaphorically or literally). So it would be more about the story you're trying to tell. At this point in her life what does Sunset want? If its straight power and influence then Slytherin is the best option. If she wishes for long term connections and usable pawns, then it would be Gryffindor. But where is she mentally and emotionally?

I'm for Gryffindor, it's the house for 'true' heros. The other houses can talked "up" by pretending they have amicable qualities but face it, all that is hot air, there is nothing keeping a Gryffindor from being "clever" or "cunning" or "hard working" so none of those traits are unique to the other houses. All of them come with more plot baggage than they add.

personally for me I'd put her in whichever house harry is going into reasons 1. at first harry is "the boy who lived" influence potentate
2. she would be able to see how impressionable he is at first ( I mean he's 11 and his situation is terrible and she would be able to see that.) 3. for the same reason sunset would probably be drawn to protect him because she can probably see how they treat him ( close, posture, attitude, and despite her anger at her own situation, that would anger her more. (as much as she would refuse to admit it) and she see this is a prime opportunity to manipulate him and earn his trust/ loyalty

Break the mold, send her to Ravenclaw. To be honest, Sunset has all the qualities of a Griffindor and the only thing that could mark her for Slytherin is unbridled ambition. But if we take into consideration that she is brilliant that would mark her for Ravenclaw. Plus there is the added bonus that you'll be able to keep us guessing as to whether she's going to go to the dark side or the light.

her days as queen bee mark her as slytherin. but after the sirens, gruffindor. however, you must consider her true nature as a pony in and of itself. magic is her life, studying it and learning...ravenclaw fits her nature just like it does twilight
