What's your Saturday brunch order?
Which Gossip Girl Character Are You?
Spotted: you, taking a personality quiz instead of doing anything productive. We approve. Gossip Girl turned Manhattan's Upper East Side into the most dramatic zip code on TV, full of private school uniforms worn with designer headbands, brunches at fancy hotels and secrets leaked by an anonymous blogger who seemed to know everything. The show ran for six seasons and stayed fun because the main cast covers almost every social type you'd find at any school or office. The question is which one you'd be if your name showed up in the next blast.
Queen B and the It Girl
Blair Waldorf types are planners with a crown. Blair ruled her school from the steps of the Met, ate yogurt there like it was a royal ritual and treated every rival like a chess match. Blair types are ambitious, loyal, stylish and dramatic, and they will absolutely plot revenge if you cross them. Underneath it all, they're romantics who want to be chosen.
Serena van der Woodsen types are effortless. Serena came back to town after a mysterious year away, and somehow everyone wanted to be her friend, date her or both. Serena types are warm, spontaneous and magnetic. Trouble follows them around, though they rarely go looking for it. They forgive easily and they love their friends hard.
The Boys of the Upper East Side
Chuck Bass types have style, money and a lot of walls. Chuck wore bow ties and scarves, owned a hotel as a teenager and took several seasons to say three famous little words. Chuck types are bold, private and fiercely loyal once they let someone in.
Nate Archibald types are the golden ones. Nate had great hair, a powerful family name and a habit of getting caught in the middle of everyone's love triangles. Nate types are easygoing, kind and popular, and they tend to go with the flow until they figure out what they want. Nate spent a good chunk of the show trying to step out of his father's shadow and choose a life of his own.
Brooklyn Crashes the Party
Dan Humphrey types are the outsiders with notebooks. Dan lived in a loft in Brooklyn, rode the subway to a fancy prep school and wrote stories about everyone around him. Dan types are thoughtful, witty and a little judgmental about the rich crowd, even while they secretly want a seat at the table.
Jenny Humphrey types want in, and they're willing to work for it. Jenny was Dan's little sister, a gifted designer who sewed her own clothes and tried hard to win over Blair's crowd. Jenny types are creative, ambitious and determined, and they're often underestimated because they're younger or newer than everyone else. Her shift from sweet freshman to eyeliner rebel is one of the show's best transformations.
Who Would You Text First?
One of the best things about this cast is how their friendships keep shifting. Blair and Serena fight and make up every season. Chuck and Nate stay brothers through almost everything. Dan and Serena keep circling back to each other. Jenny keeps trying to find her place. If you've ever had a best friend you'd go to war for and, on a bad week, against, you get it.
Get ready for questions about your brunch order, your dream outfit, your idea of revenge and how you'd handle a secret leaking online. Answer like nobody's watching, even though on the Upper East Side, somebody always is. XOXO.
