If you answer these Cardiff-based questions we’ll tell you which Shrek character you are

Whether it’s Shrek one, two, three, or four, you definitely grew up watching one of these films multiple times, and it basically plays rent-free in your head. Everyone’s favourite ogre has become so iconic that he’s set to have a fifth movie released as part of the franchise in 2027.

For the most part, you’ll know the majority of the Shrek characters – whether it’s through watching the movies or just seeing them as costumes on TikTok. So, if you answer these questions about Cardiff, we can tell you exactly which character you relate to – because obviously, you’ve been dying to find out.

Your favourite club in Cardiff

Misfits – Princess Fiona

I applaud you if you have the guts to stand in the Misfits queue every week (even the virtual one) and still consider it your favourite. It’s definitely giving Princess Fiona vibes: A dedicated queen who likes to have fun at the same time.

Fiona has a brave personality, putting her life on the line for love, but her kind-hearted nature screams Misfits. This club night sees you meeting strangers who become best friends by the time you’ve queued longer than 10 minutes, and suddenly you’re singing along with them at Monday’s karaoke night (a bravery you actually come to regret when the videos get put in the group chat the next morning).

Circuit – Donkey

If Circuit is your number one, then you are definitely Donkey. His energy matches the insane vibe in both Room 1 and Room 2, and he will definitely be able to stay till close. You undoubtedly relate to his ability to mingle and meet people in the smoking area, but also make sure everyone’s still having a great time.

Live Lounge – Rumplestiltskin 

Rumpelstiltskin is definitely the one for the Livies lovers. If you’re going here instead of YOLO then you’re both sneaky and clever for beating the queue, but equally bitter that you never make it before free entry. You like to convince people that Live Lounge is the best club in Cardiff, when in reality it’s just because you like it and want company.

YPlas – Prince Charming

For all the people who stay till Angels at YOLO or go to the Silent Discos at the YPlas, you are sure to relate to Prince Charming. You’re theatrical and won’t ever say no to going to the SU. If anyone hates on the SU’s club, you get incredibly defensive and feel the need to stand up for it. You also have a fatal flaw of believing you have to stay until the end of every club night or you haven’t made the most of it. It doesn’t help your 9am lecture attendance score.

Your go-to coffee shop

Hoffi Coffi – Shrek

If you can’t resist nipping in here for a coffee while you walk home then you’re definitely Shrek. His loyal and sensitive personality screams Hoffi Coffi – with a slight bit of attitude matching the slightly high prices at this coffee shop. But no matter what you’ll always treat yourself, because what’s better than feeling happy?

Rhostio – Puss in Boots

This iconic coffee shop turned bar at night is screaming Puss in Boots. You’re witty and suave and just love a bit of drama. You can definitely stay there all night and pull your charm on everyone in the place, maybe causing a little spice between a group along the way.

Blwm – Fairy Godmother 

Blwm is as iconic as Fairy Godmother, which is exactly why you embody her character if this is your favourite coffee shop. She’s persuasive and knows how to make sure she always gets what she wants. This is exactly the energy you’d have at Blwm, transforming into an academic weapon through the power of coffee and matcha.

Maple and Bean – Dragon 

This family-friendly, cosy coffee shop is hidden in the midst of Morgan Arcade in the city centre. If this is your go-to to then you are definitely Dragon. She has that maternal nature, always taking care of her children, and is surprisingly kind despite her scary appearance.

Just like she’s fierce and fights for those she loves, you’ll probably find yourself fighting for a seat at this popular shop, and will always come back for comfort. You definitely tell all your friends about this place and keep it close to your heart.

First year accommodation

Taly South – Donkey

I can say for sure that if you lived in Talybont South in first year you acted like Donkey at one point or another. You messed around, met new people, went out every weekend, and the speakers were never turned down. He is always positive as were/you are, especially since you had to live in Taly South for a whole year.

Uni Halls – Lord Farquad 

The depths of University Halls probably made you act like Lord Farquad. You’re angry and power hungry, feeling downtrodden about living so far from Cardiff’s main uni campus.

The hour long walk probably killed you off bit by bit every day, and this only added to your bitterness. You definitely tried to sneak into a friend’s flat in Taly or get your accommodation switched – much like Lord Farquad tried to marry Princess Fiona in order to become King.

Senghenned Hall – Gingerbread Man

If you lived here, you definitely felt like the Gingerbread Man. Dramatic about the fact you got part-catered living (unless you really wanted it), but still grateful you have an en-suite. You also live the perfect distance between the city centre and the SU so there isn’t really a lot to complain about. Especially if your friends live in Uni Halls.

Adam Street Gardens – Prince Charming

Again if you lived in one of the nicest Cardiff Uni accommodations, even though it’s owned by Unite, then you are definitely Prince Charming. You’re most probably vain and don’t fully understand the pain of first year accommodation – a rite of passage for most students. This is especially true for those who luxuriated in a double not a single bed.

You constantly seek validation for the fact that you still shared a flat even though your accommodation is nicer, and always try and pull strings to get what you want.

Most dateable sports society

Medics Rugby – Lord Farquad

If you think that any boy in Medics Rugby is dateable then you are definitely Lord Farquad. You’re desperate for a strong guy and want nothing more than to have that picture-perfect, Instagrammable relationship. You pine over it just like Lord Farquad’s desire to marry Princess Fiona in the movie.

JOMEC Netball – Donkey

You are as energetic as Donkey if you think the JOMEC Netball is a dateable sport club. The energy those girls have is unmatched and you’d have to be able to keep up if you were to date a member. Just like Donkey, you’re always up for some fun and always down to hang out with friends.

CULF – Princess Fiona

You’re brave to be dating these strong and competitive footballers. Just like Princess Fiona, you’re confident about winning and are secretly rebellious, trying to cuff someone on the team without being called out about it in a social.  You want to date someone who is both strong and knows what they want, but also has a soft heart.

Men’s Hockey – Puss in Boots

If you think this is the most dateable society then you align perfectly with Puss in Boots. Your suave nature will pull one of these men and you won’t stop until you have one. You’re a skilled fighter, and you’ll be loyal to any man who looks your way.

Favourite VK

Blue – King Harold

The blue VK is probably one of the most popular ones but arguably the most confusing. Just like King Harold’s born identity as a frog, many find it iconic, but for some reason it’s honestly just weird. You’re definitely stubborn to try any other VK, and consistently get one at every YOLO you attend.

Strawberry and Lime – Princess Fiona

This VK is exactly like Princess Fiona with the red colour matching her hair. The sweet flavour goes perfectly with her sweet personality and yours too. But the punchiness is just like her strong nature, making you the bravest of them all. You’re unapologetically yourself and love to mix with different people – even if they aren’t the perfect match.

Orange and Passionfruit – Fairy Godmother 

Fairy Godmother is the one for this. You love the flavour because it’s a classic that you probably grew up with, just as a J20. You stick to the best one and use it to deceive people into thinking you’re super drunk – when really you’re just addicted to the juice.

Tropical Fruits – Puss in Boots

Tropical fruits is just like Puss in Boots – charming, cute and dramatic. There are so many flavours but passionfruit and orange is what it boils down to. Plus, you definitely think the fact that the percentage is 3.4 per cent means you won’t get drunk. This means that not only do you get extremely drunk, but you also manage to charm people into drinking them too.
