Chapter 1: Early Concept

Summary:

What was initially conceptualized for DCA, as well as the initial designs for the first four girls developed and their respective bios

Chapter Text

The Original Logo

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (1)
The original logo appeared to have a pink fleur-de-lis in the center. On the top of the heart rests a golden crown with heart and swirl detailing on it. On both sides of logo are a pair of feathered wings, with the left side being purple and the right side being an off-white color.

Initial Character Designs

Evonie and Ella

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (2)

🍎 Evonie’s Early Design

Evonie’s original design didn’t appear to change much from her current design. There were a few differences.

• Evonie’s hair was more black without the royal blue tint and appeared to be less wavy.
• The sleeves are a bit less transparent and feature golden swirls, although the floral pattern reminds.
• The bottom of her top appeared to have triangular hems on each side.

👠 Ella’s Early Design

Much like Evonie, Ella’s original design didn’t appear to change much from her current design either. But much like Evonie, there are a few differences.
• Ella’s hair appeared to be more of a dusty off-red color and her hair originally reached to her upper shoulders.
• The jewel on both her tiara and brooch are purple in color. This was because Phoenix didn’t think much about what to do with the gems until she decided to change them to accommodate to the original princess (In this case, Cinderella).
• Ella’s skirt, despite having the same argyle patterning as her current skirt appears to be a ruffled one.

Allison and Briar

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (3)

🐰 Allison’s Early Design

Allison’s original design appeared to be very different from her current design.
• Much like Ella, Allison’s hair in her original design appeared to be an off-red color, before it was changed to be reddish-pink.
• Allison’s original outfit was very different from her current one. Her sailor top was blue in color, with the center part having an argyle pattern, with hearts, spades, clovers and diamonds. The shirt also has red jewel buttons on it. The collar also has the same pattern, with the addition of a dark teal outline. The collar flap appears to be made of lace, with heart detailing at the edge. The scarf tied to the sailor top is black in color.
• The two layered skirt is somewhat similar to the current design, with the exception of the color palette. The top layer is a solid black while the bottom layer is navy blue with a line pattern.
• Allison’s original headband is very different from the current one. The headband is black in color with a crown in the center. On the side of the headband are four gold bows, each with a card suit charm decorated onto it. The charms are in this order from top to bottom: red heart, blue spade, green clover and yellow diamond.
• Allison’s collar, while the same as the current design was black in the original design.

🌹 Briar’s Early Design

Briar’s original design while similar to her current one, the original design did have some differences.
• The rose hair accessory appeared to have more of a pastel color palette.
• The blue gem on Briar’s tiara looked darker.
• Her turtleneck sweater remains pink, but the collar part in the original design was light blue with a rose pattern.
• The rose in the center of the golden ribbon on Briar’s left shoulder was red in the original design, instead of fuchsia.
• The jewel buttons were pink instead of light blue.
• Her original skirt was light blue in color and had the same rose pattern as the collar section of her turtleneck sweater.
• Briar additionally had red rose earrings in her original design. But they were removed because according to Phoenix, the rose earrings would take too long to draw each time Briar would have to be illustrated and they were cut to minimize Briar’s drawing time.

Early Bios and Original Dorm Crests

Evonie’s Initial Bio

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (4)
(Note: The katakana for Evonie’s given name is incorrectly spelled as “Evonia”)

Allison’s Initial Bio

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (6)
(Note: Futterwacken’s original dorm crest was recycled for the current crest, the only difference is the color palettes)

In her original profile, Briar is described having powerful magic that tries her out if she uses it to often, she is also described as being able to sleep on any surface no matter how hard or soft it is. Briar is described as liking plushies, sleeping and fairies while having a disliking for sharp objects, lizards and isolation.

Chapter 2: About DCA

Summary:

This chapter contains all the information on the Diamond Crown Academy school itself.

Notes:

The reason for combining a majority of the general information posts into one chapter is due to time constraints, that way you’re not constantly trying to find “DCA lore here”. Plus, thanks to AO3’s HTML formatting, it’s easy to make sections! 👍

Chapter Text

Basic Information

Diamond Crown Academy (abbreviated as DCA) is an all-girls college for both magically-gifted and non-magic students. Unlike Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy, the academy is not famous for just the powerful students with magic, it is also famous for the graduates who provide their knowledge and skills for the community. The academy also is famous for the idol performances that are viewed worldwide as well as the joint school festival where students from Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy come together to enjoy the festivities on Diamond Crown Academy school grounds.

Relationships with NRC and RSA

The school is mostly a “peacemaker” for Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy and (as mentioned above) an occasional school festival held for all three schools on the campus of Diamond Crown Academy. Everyone enjoys the food and activities the academy has set up, both Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy look forward to such an event as it was always spectacular and memorable.

Transportation

In a similar fashion to Night Raven College, a carriage brings the students to the academy. However, unlike the mostly gothic aesthetic of the Ebony Carriage, the carriage used to transport new students to Night Raven College, Diamond Crown Academy’s carriage has a mostly pastel/cutesy aesthetic to it, with the interior functioning similarly to a bed, with pastel colors, a soft matress and plush pillows. The carriage’s exterior is white and is decorated with gold detailing and it is pulled by white horses.

Uniforms

Unlike the standard uniform of Night Raven College, the standard campus uniforms of Diamond Crown Academy are modified to fit the students’ liking, with only indicator of their dorm is the color scheme of one of the nine princesses and the Curious Explorer as well as the color of the gem brooch on their uniform. The Futterwacken dorm uses custom keys instead of brooches.

Magic Rings

For Diamond Crown Academy, the students use rings to conjure magic instead of the pens the students of Night Raven College use. Students wear a magic ring on their of choice hand on their index/pointer finger (As wearing a ring on a pointer means leadership, confidence and authority) and the girls have to trace a sigil or sign in the air to cast strong spells, small spells just require pointing. The rings are meant to symbolize a happy ending. The students get to make their own choices and reap the rewards of their efforts, kind of symbolism. The design of the rings are gold with a simple round gem on it following the color gems on the student’s dorms.

School Events

💐 Spring Events 💐
Horse Parade Event: An event for those who participate in the derby and horse shows. The students dress up their horses with a flag of their dorm and dress up in royal derby attire for the parade.
Royal Tea Event: A huge tea party that is dedicated to the historical figures. It is held in the school’s garden where everyone dresses up in preppy style dresses and enjoy tea and sweets.

☀️ Summer Events ☀️
Crystal Beach Party: A summer holiday where students gather near the beach to enjoy the summer activities.

🍁 Fall Events 🍁
Masquerade Ball Event: A ball held in the fall season where students dress up in unique themes and wear matching masks.
Dragonfall Festival Event: A festival that is similar to a Chinese New Year, except it isn’t held on the start of a new year. It is held at the end of fall where the land goes into hibernation in order to give way to a new spring.

❄️ Winter Events ❄️
Crystal Gala Event: An event that celebrates the glittering snow. The snow fairies come out and dance amongst the snowflakes.

DCA Staff

Headmistress Citrouille

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (8)
Citrouille is the headmistress of Diamond Crown Academy. She is a sweet old fairy with a grandmotherly nature who built the academy to nurture the girls to be pure of heart yet strong and assertive against adversaries. She made a proposal with Dire Crowley, the headmaster of Night Raven College to have the students visit for a school festival. Crowley agreed to the idea of giving the students a small break and officially made a schedule for the academy to attend Diamond Crown Academy’s one week festival. She possesses very powerful magic, she has the entire school grounds enchanted with protection magic to protect the students from malicious intent.

Puchi

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (9)
Puchi is a magical dog-like creature who serves as Diamond Crown Academy’s guide and guardian. Despite his pastel and girly appearance, he can be quite stubborn and a bit rough too. The students like to pamper him on occasion. Puchi is a monster like Grim, but unlike Grim, he was made in a cauldron that resulted in his monster egg being created. His egg shell is displayed in the academy museum. He wields great magic that makes him a trojan horse because most of his opponents would let their guards down and underestimate his cuteness. He knows he’s adorable and uses it to his advantage like getting the students to shower him with sweets and candy. He loves to sleep on the headmistress’ lap in the afternoon and is very organized and well-mannered unless provoked. He also loves anything that’s cute and he’s not afraid to throw paws if someone tries to ridicule him for liking something, “girly”.

Florence

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (10)
Florence is the eldest of the three fairy brothers who teaches Basic Etiquette and Ancient Rune Reading. He has a gentlemanly charm to him that makes him approachable. He has a huge obsession with roses and loves to put it in every outfit he wears. If students gift him flower crowns, he will be in a good mood for the entire day. He reminds the students that gender doesn’t limit their abilities. Often looks after the flower gardens in the academy. He will cry for hours when winter comes and his precious flowers wilt due to the frost. He argues with Asher over the smallest things. And sometimes they both end up wrestling each other which is hilarious for some of the staff and students and the students even have a secret chat on keeping records of their arguments. They make memes out of them and he is unaware of this.

Faustus

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (11)
Faustus is the middle child of the fairy brothers who teaches Animal Linguistics, Music and Alchemy. He has a fatherly nature to him. He has an excellent voice that attracts animals sometimes. He is open to any musical genre and at some point he has that rockstar phase that he threatens his brothers NOT to tell anyone. He has a gift for horticulture and is able to grow rare plants easily. Very passive when it comes to his brothers arguing so he just takes a picture discreetly and send it to the secret chat. He is actually the one who started the group chat. He is very bad at cooking that after an incident that involved him trying to make a cake, Asher permanently banned him from using the kitchen.

Asher

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (12)
Asher is the youngest of the three fairy brothers who teaches General Magic and Study of Magical Relics. He has a bit of blunt honesty to him. He isn’t afraid to call someone out to make a point. He would throw hands if Faustus or Florence weren’t holding him back. If he gets physical with Florence, he would roast his long hair and call him out on a LOT of embarrassing things that would make his brother’s face shame the red, red rose. He even goes so far as to pull pranks on Florence. He is very supportive of his students and is very protective of them as well. If the students are facing a problem, he would most likely tell them to be as savage as they can be, but they should roast with the utmost politeness and dignity to make it more effective. He permanently banned Faustus from using the kitchen after an incident with a cake.

Duchess Caterine

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (13)
Duchess Caterine is the professor who teaches Magic History and Incantations. She is a sweet woman who has a gentle approach to her. She the mother of three children who are excellent in different talents and on occasion visit the academy to pay their mother visits. She is an aristocrat who can turn into a cat at will. Though she doesn’t shift as much since she has to maintain her ladylike image. But she shifts into cat form to unwind and be pampered by the students for a bit. She is additionally oblivious of the PE coach’s crush on her. And the staff find it amusing to see the burly satyr blush in front of her.

Actius

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (14)
Actius is a satyr who’s in charge of the Physical Education classes and he trains the students as if they were going to war, stating that times have changed and that girls need to train to be like heroes too. He has a bit of a crush on Miss Duchess Caterine. Though he is a satyr, he treats the students as if they were his own daughters, but he won’t go easy on them during training, because he wants the girls to be confident not just in studies but also in combat. He has a deep hatred of the coach and students of Royal Sword Academy because of their misogynistic nature, with the students going so far as to mock the girls by calling them, “damsels in distress”, that set him off and started this rivalry with that coach to show them that strength isn’t limited to gender. The students sometimes leave some aged wine for him as thanks, he gets teary eyed but won’t admit it because he needs to keep a tough persona.

MG Genie

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (15)
MG Genie is a genie who lived a long life and his lamp was passed down onto many owners. Until he was found by the headmistress who immediately wished for his freedom. He later became the owner of the school shop, which is named Golden Wishes and he refurbished his lamp to become a storage place and house for him. He provides almost all the items the students need. He always talks about celebrities and showbiz to the students, reminiscing his early years. The students like hearing the tales of his previous owners and what they wished for. He also loves to party and would throw parties in the most bizarre places. Allison often finds his parties through the doors of Futterwacken.

Academy Pets

Pets/Animal Companions

The academy stays true to the legends of the princesses by having the students bring their pets or be assigned to an animal companion as it is believed to help with responsibility and compassion. The animals have a spell cast on them that allows them to talk with their owners. If someone other than the owner tries to talk to them they can only hear the sounds the animal makes. But since the students have Animal Linguistics, there isn’t much of a language barrier. The dorm rooms also have animal beds made for the pets. There is plenty of pet essentials in the school store too. The main building as well as the dorm living quarter buildings are built to have pathways for the animals so that they can venture around with little difficulty. The animals that aren’t owned by the students are just wild animals who made themselves at home in the academy. Faustus often talks to them regarding the living conditions.

Horses

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (16)
The horses of Diamond Crown Academy are used for the riding competitions. Though some students have their own horses brought to the stables. Most of the horses were raised in the academy.
Each of the horses are able to speak to humans via a gem collar. Until the collar is taken off or when not wearing one, only other animals can hear them speak. The collars have gems that also have the colors based on which dorm the student riding them are in.

From left to right, the horses shown in the photo above are:
🌹 Lusio (Arabian) - Briar’s steed and he is considered a blue ribbon horse. He is a very proud stallion and is proud of his accomplishments. While his behavior makes him come off as narcissistic, but he admires and respects his rider. [He specializes in Racing, Showjumping, Dressage, Endurance Training]
Relationship with Rider
Briar and Lusio are a great duo, always in sync, but he just can’t help but brag to the other horses to the point where they’re just “we know, Lusio… I know!”

🐻 Tala (Gypsy Vanner) - Elu’s steed and she is a mellow horse who has a lot of strength and stamina. She is often the mediator when the horses argue with each other. [She specializes in Racing, Trail Riding, Horseback Archery]
Relationship with Rider
Elu and Tala are both the calm pair, just vibing with their surroundings as they get lost in the moment. Though Tala tends to play peacemaker amongst the other horses in the stable.

🐲 Yinglong (Holsteiner) - Jinlong’s steed and he is horse with amazing jumping strength. He is very energetic and likes his mane to be combed. [He specializes in Racing, Showjumping]
Relationship with Rider
Jinlong and Yinglong are both competitive and have a fire in their eyes. Yinglong likes to eavesdrop on gossip and will blabber to other horses.

👠 Dusty (Rocky Mountain Horse) - Ella’s steed with a lot of optimism and sometimes does ranch work when he’s not competing. He likes to socialize with people and other horses. He doesn’t mind getting ribbons braided in his mane. [He specializes in Parade, Dressage, Ranch work]
Relationship with Rider
Dusty and Ella are the cute and peppy duo. Dusty is sometimes oblivious about the atmosphere in the room.

📚 Sullivan (Selle Francais) - Rozeline’s steed who is timid but has a very good record on competitions like Lusio. Lusio considers him a rival even though he doesn’t even want to compete. He will walk away from strangers and seek out his rider for comfort. [He specializes in Racing, Dressage, Showjumping]
Relationship with Rider
Rozeline and Sullivan both like their riding time to be solo. Although, Sullivan is scared of the dark and quite cowardly.

Griffins

Griffins are much different from horses, they are proud and wild so they aren’t around as much when the winter season arrives. They migrate to warmer climates and return in spring. Griffins are very selective of who rides them and there is a reason why Griffin disc is only exclusive to the academy. But there have sports shows that feature it. Actius handles the Griffins while Faustus handles the horses at the academy.

Griffin Scout Club: Additional Information

The Griffin Scouts was an idea of Actius. He manages the club activities and schedules, and he also manages the griffins used for the scouting team.
The griffins are not like horses, they have a more high standard when it comes to people riding them. Only senior members of the club who has earned a number of badges to receive their senior badge could only ride griffins. Elu and Briar are two of the few who have senior badges. No one owns the griffins, they are called in the summer and autumn for the scout club activities and when winter rolls in, Actius lets them go to migrate to a warmer climate.
Novice scouts are the ones who have to get community service badges, expert scouts have to survive in the wilderness and learn secret codes and symbols to get badges and become senior scouts when they have a certain number of badges and have completed the griffin test. It’s when the scout stands a meter away from a griffin flock and have a griffin approach them and offer them a feather as a sign of mutual respect and that they are a worthy rider.
Actius is still stern but a bit more hands on with his teaching, he will show the students how to properly tie a certain rope knot or how to pitch a tent. Even the griffin scout cookie sale was also being taught by him, his cookie recipe is to die for.

Chapter 3: Idol Performances and Mechanics

Summary:

Information on the performance aspect of DCA

Notes:

Something important to mention is the fact that a majority of the idol aspects of DCA take heavy influence from the Aikatsu! franchise, so if you see mentions of that, that’s the reason.

Chapter Text

Idol Performances

As mentioned previously, Diamond Crown Academy is renowned for its idol performances that are viewed worldwide. On occasion, students go wild with their songs and performances.
It was initially prohibited to display this kind of energy during the school festival. That was the case until Headmistress Citrouille pulled a poll for the two magic schools and most of the votes said “Yes”.
Fans now go wild and fanclubs get new members. The merch sales are off the roof and it’s just a somehow chaotic outcome. But in a good way. Evonie being the rockstar fan she is, secretly performs rock concerts and uses a mask to hide her identity. Her fans dubbed this rockstar persona of her’s “The Masked Maiden” (仮面の乙女).

Star Muse

Because the academy is known for the idol performances and competitions a ranking system keeps track of all the students and who is currently the Star Muse of the dorm and academy. In the dorm, the Star Muse has at least three seats, one of which is taken by the dorm leader as they are at the top of their game during performances. The two other seats will have students of that dorm compete so that they can move on to compete with other dorms’ Star Muses. The most challenging round of idol competitions have all elected Star Muses to compete against each other to be crowned the top five, Stella Nova. The low ranking idol competitions are kept within the academy while the higher ranking competitions are performed on a venue outside the or a live show held at the academy where civilians can purchase tickets to attend the show.

Stella Nova

The five seats that are reserved for the winners of the top five idols. Stella Nova Muses are awarded a crown with a unique gem attached to it that has an ensemble that is of Premium Rank. The ensemble changes depending on the person who wears the crown, it also has it’s own custom wings that are unique to the wearer.

The current top five who occupy the seats are:
Briar - Diamond Crown
Vidya - Topaz Crown
Evonie - Quartz Crown
Cerule - Ruby Crown
Ella - Sapphire Crown
If one of the Star Muse contestants were to beat one of the Stella Nova Muses, the latter muse must give her crown to the winner. The gemstone crowns are ranked by rarity, Diamond as the first seat, Topaz as the second seat, Quartz as the third seat, Ruby as the fourth seat and Sapphire as the fifth seat.

Performing in Groups & Idol Versus Matches

Idols usually face against each other on separate places except they sing the same song. Their score will depend on how many people cheer for them. There is always a camera around the stage, broadcasting their performance to an online audience. The idol with the most number of cheers are declared the winner and are rewarded a styling jewel or points in order to increase idol rank.

Idol Points - These are accumulated points after winning an idol match. As the idol goes up a rank, the more idol points they need to acquire in order to advance, which means participating in a lot of matches.
Cheer Points - These are points gained from audience who watch the performance live or online. The ones who attend the venue of the idol are the base points, the ones online vote for which one they liked better. DCA is able to keep track of the points each student has and has an application that students download on their phone to keep track of their scores.
In an idol group performance, the contestants will be ranked on teamwork, harmony and synchronization. This is much harder since casting illusion appeals takes more practice because it needs to be done by everyone in the team, they lose points if one member is either too early or too late in casting their illusion.
But there are group performances who are there for entertainment in order to build up their likeability to the public, same rule applies to the idols who perform solo.

Idol Groups

Students often form groups but this applies to entertainment performances, the public has a group they favor and will want to keep track off. The group name is registered by the staff by sending a form to fill out, writing down the group name, and who the members are.
The group style is unanimous and must not stray away from the motif of their group name. This is for stabilizing their name in the public and changing styles would create confusion and lessen likeability. Forming a group allows the students to introduce themselves to the public and gain likeability faster so if they were to perform solo or in another group, the fans who favor them will want to vote for them which can be an advantage to win the match.
The student can be a part of more than one group. It’s a strategy to gain even more likeability among the public.

List of Idol Groups

Idol Mechanics

At the start of school, there are at least 4 months to prepare for the beginner debuts. This is only held in the school and is not broadcasted, this is to scope out the abilities of the freshmen as upcoming idols.
The freshmen are given enough time to choose their outfits from the starting brand and time to rehearse using already made songs.
Passing would allow them to be moved to a training class for idols and magic for their actual debut.
Those who fail are given a chance to try again in another 4 months or they can choose another role to help out in the idol performances through either writing songs, making outfits or even stage prep.
Students who pass the beginner debuts are given 4 months to train themselves for their proper debuts. They can go solo only if the teachers think their abilities are up for it, but mostly it is kept in groups of 3-5. This is broadcasted in a special venue where there are many cameras filming the students for the world to see.
The studies aren’t too straining for the students to keep up with idol work as it all relates to magic training.
First years are limited to using the beginner brand until they reach second year. That is when they get to either pick from the available brands or establish a new brand.
In their second year, the students have the choice to form an idol group or go solo in the upcoming performances they will be chosen to perform at. The staff will inform the chosen students ahead of time of the venue, whether it be solo or a group.
The performances are spread throughout different kingdoms with approval from the authority managing the area the school wants to perform in.
This is to showcase the student’s capability in magic so they may be scouted in the future, as well as promote their academy to increase favorability among the masses.

Forming Idol Groups

Idol groups can either have permanent members that last until graduation or have members that alternate in different idol groups.
What’s special about the idol groups is that each idol’s preferred brand would collaborate to make ensembles exclusive for that idol group.
But of course, the process of forming a group is tricky, because students aren’t paired with the people they want.
You have to go through measuring your synchronization with others, this is done through a simple vocalization class where a large group of students who wish to form groups would harmonize in one room.
The students are given enchanted music sheets that measure their vocal compatibility. The names of the people in the room would also be on the music sheet and after the exercise, compatibility percentages would appear beside the names.
They would then group up with those whose compatibility percentages are closer to their own.

An Idol’s Regalia

“Regalia” is what you refer to an idol’s aura that appears if the idol has full concentration of magic as well as focus on rhythm.
This is a spell taught to the DCA students very early on and what they will train on mastering during their idol rehearsals. It was said to be used to cloak a certain area with illusions to avoid any enemies from trying to invade, or so they heard.
It can be difficult to pull off for first timers and even difficult to maintain throughout the performance. It can be stabilized with another idol’s Regalia, hence why some would start off as groups.
Solo idols are considered veterans when it comes to summoning their Regalia. Most dorm leaders can do a solo performance, though there was no shame in a dorm leader wanting to perform in a group more often.
The Regalia appears like a large crown overhead the idol, below the crown is a “Curtain” that contains an illusion magic that changes the environment within its radius.
Above the crown is the idol’s “Symbol”, it can take the form of anything that represents the idol.
Think of it as parts of a Merry Go Round. The top part is the Crown, the middle where the rides are is the curtain where the illusion effects are and the bottom is the radius.
Each idol has a different Regalia which makes it a delight to the audience on what each one would look like everytime new students would perform.

Hybrid & Themed Regalia

A Regalia can merge with another idol’s, creating a “Hybrid” of the crowns along with the symbols and curtains.
This is a bit tricky as the group needs to have the same endurance. If one of the idol gets too tired to keep up the Regalia then only that idol’s Regalia would fade from the group while the others remain.
However, to create a Regalia that is completely different to their own is an incredibly difficult feat.
Only the highly skilled would be able to cast this.
An example would be a “Themed Regalia” that the group would have to imagine and synchronize in order to manifest it.
Trying to guess what your group mates are imagining is the hard part as well as the focus to keep the spell up during the performance.
Starting idol groups would only appear with their own Regalias and won’t merge at first.
Then with a little more training they can merge the Regalia designs during a group performance. When the group is in perfect sync they can accomplish summoning a Themed Regalia.
The size of the Regalia can also depict the idol’s current magical capabilities. The student can increase the radius with enough training and focus.
Small radius means you are a beginner, the bigger the radius is then it shows how far your capabilities are.
If a Regalia disappears somewhere along the song then it’s a sign that the idol is nearing exhaustion of their magic and their body is subconsciously trying to prevent any more stress.
Something important to mention is that a student is NOT allowed to resummon their Regalia if it disappears, Regalia uses up magic and accumulates blot like any other magic.

Chapter 4: Dorms

Summary:

Information on the Dorms of DCA, the gem colors associated with each dorm, the dorm fairies and dorm sorting

Chapter Text

Summaries of Each Dorm

Unlike Night Raven College, which has seven dorms, Diamond Crown Academy has ten and each are modeled after a certain Disney Princess and Alice. These dorms are:
Pommeneige, founded on the Cheerfulness of the Innocent Princess
Glastanzerin, founded on the Generosity of the Maiden of the Glass Shoe
Futterwacken, founded on the Wonders of the Curious Explorer
Rosadormienti, founded on the Dreams of the Slumbering Princess
Coquille, founded on the Adventurous Spirit of the Secretive Mermaid Princess
Chateau Beastiale, founded on the Intellect of the Golden Maiden
Magiaoasis, founded on the Headstrong Heart of the Princess of Sand
Dragonstone, founded on the Bravery of the Maiden who held the Dragon Sword
Sagamore, founded on the Diplomacy of the Princess of Nature’s Voice
Lagniappe, founded on the Ambitions of the Maiden of the City of Lights

Gem Colors

Each stained glass portrait of the heroines are placed in the hallway of the main college building, lining the hallway with a plaque at the bottom describing the virtue they represented. The students of DCA follow their example to become a true princess. The 10 dorms are built on their image and like the gemstones that you see on the uniforms of the Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy students.

The gem colors and virtues are shown below, with the author’s personal theories on why the colors and virtues were chosen.

Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (17)🍎 Pommeneige
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Pommeneige dorm is red, which matches the color of Snow White’s hair ribbon, the red cloth on her puff sleeves and the interior of her cape. Red was also the color the poison apple took the appearance of in order to trick Snow White into eating it. Snow White represented the virtue of innocence. In this case, kindness and a bit of naivety. Snow White was known for being kind but also naïve, which made her fall for Queen Grimhilde’s trap easily.

👠 Glastanzerin
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Glastanzerin dorm is white, which matches the color of Cinderella’s iconic gown in the original 1950 film, which was silver white. Cinderella represented the virtue of hope, always know to keep being hopeful. This feeling of hope can be shown in “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” where she encourages her animal friends to never stop dreaming and the entire theme of the song which carries out throughout the film is to keeping believing in your dreams.

🌹 Rosadormienti
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Rosadormienti dorm is pink, which matches the color of Aurora’s dress that is mostly used for merchandise. Aurora represented the virtue of determination, never lose the drive to reach your dreams. While Aurora herself doesn’t show signs of determination in her debut film, this is shown in subsequent Disney Princess media.

Ariel, Belle, and Jasmine

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (18)🐚 Coquille
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Coquille dorm is purple, which matches the color of Ariel’s seashell bikini top. Ariel represented the virtue of freedom, never forgetting that you can’t be bound by anyone. Ariel herself desired freedom from her overprotective father and this is expressed by her fascination with humans and their world.

📚 Chateau Beastiale
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Chateau Beastiale dorm is yellow, which matches the color of Belle’s iconic golden ball gown. Belle represented the virtue of loyalty and intelligence, standing by someone’s side and never forgetting that knowledge is sharper than any sword. Belle stayed by the Beast’s side and helped him to better himself. Belle was also famous for her intelligence.

🏝️ Magiaoasis
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Magiaoasis dorm is blue, which matches the color of Jasmine’s sky blue casuals (although in later media and merchandise, it’s colored turquoise). Jasmine represented the virtue of wittiness, using your wits to your advantage and to solve problems. Jasmine is shown to use her seductive cunning to her advantage. An example of this occurred when she faked being under the genie’s influence in order to distract Jafar.

Mulan, Pocahontas and Tiana

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (19)🐲 Dragonstone
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Dragonstone dorm is dark red, which matches the details on the outfit Mulan wore during the climax of the original 1998 film. Mulan represented the virtue of honor and bravery, finding the courage to stand up against your fears and insecurities. Mulan disguised herself as a man to take her father’s place in the war and she wanted to stay true to herself, all while bringing honor to her family.

🍂 Sagamore
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Sagamore dorm is orange, which is a very earthy color and Pocahontas herself has a fondness for nature. Pocahontas represented the virtue of will and wisdom, learn from others as how they learn from you. Pocahontas expressed wisdom and offered kindness and guidance to those around her.

🐸 Lagniappe
The color of the gemstone on the brooch worn by students affiliated with the Lagniappe dorm is green, matching the color of Tiana’s frog form and her initial wedding dress. Tiana represented the virtue of diligence, hard work goes a long way. Tiana herself was known to be a hard worker and hoped that this would lead her to opening her own restaurant.

Alice

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (20)🐰 Futterwacken
Alice is a special case, she represents young girls growing up finding their identity. And being true to yourself is a golden lesson in the academy so that’s why her stained glass is kept near the Futterwacken Dormitory built on the hill overlooking the other dormitories. This gem doesn’t appear on the Futterwacken brooches because instead of brooches, they have keys of various colors.

Dorm Fairies

Diamond Crown Academy has vice dorm leaders but unlike Night Raven College they are NOT students.
They are called the Dorm Fairies. They are fairies who don’t have a permanent form. They change their appearance based on the preferences of the current dorm leader.
They have been in the academy since it was built, so they are very wise and knowledgeable, and they have worked with plenty of dorm leaders in their years.
Each one has a fairy house located in the area in or near their respective dorms, dorm fairies don’t live in the large tree at the main campus like the others.
Dorm fairies may be small but they are able to cast powerful magic spells using magic glyphs at such high speed, it would also be difficult to target them due to their small size advantage. Though they don’t cast offensive spells unless it’s an emergency but that rarely happens at the academy. They mostly use magic to aid in dormitory maintenance and some of them play small, harmless pranks on unsuspecting students and even staff.
Their appearance ties in with the fairy forming a bond when the dorm leader is appointed, the fairies form is decided through the girl’s image they want to be perceived or childhood mementos that they cherish.
Dorm fairies honed their magic powers, becoming stronger overtime and learning new spells and hexes. Small spells are seen as sparkling glitter that only show up for a second before disappearing while their stronger spells come in the form of magic circles. The magic circles have sigils and patterns reminiscent of the dorm, the color also corresponds to the dorm.
Due to their bond with their respective dorm leaders, a small portion of their power is shared through the bond so the dorm leader can use a few of their spells but it burns so much energy that it’ll cause the magic gem to blot faster. So, the spells are used as a last resort for emergencies.

Ceremonial Dorm Sorting

First years are brought to the throne room by the crystal carriage. The carriage has soft bedding inside of it and the student sleeps soundly as they are transported.
Unlike NRC’s carriage that holds coffins, the student is merely slumbering on the bed provided in the carriage, the windows are covered by curtains of course. The carriage is pulled by two unicorns who are trained by the school to retrieve the chosen students.
How the unicorns can traverse through several miles with a student on top of that is a complete mystery.
When the students arrive at the academy, they are placed at the sorting room that actually has two parts. The first half is the large garden where the girls all sleep on the soft grass surrounded by mysterious flowers. While the other half is where the dorm sorting occurs.
The dorm fairies enter the garden where they will use their magic on the flowers that will awaken the students. Then they will lead the students to the dorm sorting area where the staff and the dorm leaders will wait for them.
The room looks like a crystalized ballroom. There is a fountain on the far end at the center and in front of it lies a podium where a jewelry box with a key is placed. The walls have stained glass portraits of the ten princesses where the dorm leaders will have to stand by their respective window as the dorm sorting commences.

The Royal Jewelry Box

This is a magical tool that is the prized possession of the academy, much like the Dark Mirror in NRC.
The jewelry box will only be opened by the key that is always next to it. Even though it seems like others might be able to open it easily, it won’t be as simple as that.
The jewelry box has a sentience of its own and will only let the key be used to whomever it deems worthy. Anyone unworthy who tries to pick up the key would feel hot iron on their skin.
Trying to pry it open wouldn’t work either and even if you drop a heavy weight on it, the box will still be in good condition.
The students will be called one by one to turn the key of the jewelry box where they will gain a jewel. This jewel will be placed on their head which will magically turn into a crown that they will wear alongside their Ceremonial Gowns.
The crown’s design is based on the dorm, said design is the same for all the students of that particular dorm.

Ceremonial Crowns

🍎 Pommeneige’s crown has a tree branches incorporated in it’s design and has a ruby jewel.
👠 Glastanzerin’s crown has a small castle incorporated in it’s design and has an opal gem.
🐰 Futterwacken’s “crown” consists of a flower wreath with an ametrine gem.
🌹 Rosadormienti’s crown has roses and thorns incorporated in it’s design and has a rose quartz gem.
🐠 Coquille’s crown has seashells incorporated in it’s design and has purple colored pearl.
📚 Chateau Beastiale’s crown has a design reminiscent of the Beast’s horns and has a topaz jewel.
🏝️ Magiaoasis’s crown has swirly lines incorporated in it’s design and has a sapphire jewel.
🐲 Dragonstone’s crown has a dragon incorporated in it’s design and has a garnet jewel.
🍂 Sagamore’s crown has leaves incorporated in it’s design and has an amber jewel.
🐸 Lagniappe’s crown has lily pads incorporated in it’s design and has an emerald gem.
The purpose of the tiara is to signify the dorm the student belongs to. Other than that it’s necessary to wear the Ceremonial Crown during occasions where it is mandatory to wear their Ceremonial Gowns.
As for the rings, they will acquire those alongside the crown, as they are given by the school alongside their uniforms for both campus and dorm wear.
The rings are made with magic and can shrink or enlarge to fit the size of the finger the student chooses to wear it on.

The Freshmen Welcoming Ceremony

As the name implies, it is a ceremony to welcome the new students to Diamond Crown Academy. During the ceremony, the dorm tenants have to wear their coronation robes. But only the dorm leaders go to the throne chamber while the tenants have to make sure the welcoming party goes smoothly.

🍎 Pommeneige
The Pommeneige dorm prepares a nice warm meal such as potato and sausage stew, apple dumplings, gooseberry pie and apple cider. These dishes are essential to serve because of the princess who served the seven dwarfs the same dish as a sign of gratitude. So the students eat the meal along with the dwarfs who make them selves comfortable at the dinner table, chatting with the students and sometimes playing around. After eating, the students gather outside and they watch the dwarfs sing and dance. Sometimes the students will be tempted to join in and sing along. Then they share stories about anything they could think of before the day ends.

👠 Glastanzerin
The Glastanzerin dorm gathers the tenants to the large dining hall where there’s tea and small cakes to be eaten while they make small talk. The cakes are decorated with fruits coated with nappage glaze. Afterwards, they are lead to a ballroom where the golden statues of noblemen come to life when the clock strikes 8 pm. The students then dance with the statues or just stand around and chat. The ball ends at midnight where the statues go back to their original positions and become inanimate. once again.

🐰 Futterwacken
The Futterwacken dorm will hold a chaotic tea party. They bring out the chocolate fountain that is built with several spouts that are shaped like teapots. The fountain produces about five different syrup flavors, strawberry, chocolate, cream, caramel, and maple syrup. The food they serve is a variety of tarts, waffles and cupcakes that can be decorated using several sprinkles and candies near the fountain. There’s also non-dessert dishes served like scotch dodo egg, mushroom stew and tiny-to-large-sandwiches. The drinks are pink lemonade and minty earl gray tea. The teapots dance to the tune of the flowers as they sing, “All in the Golden Afternoon”, where even the shrubs and trees would sway to the tune. The flowers take this chance to leave their pots and dance around the students and sometimes stand on the student’s head.

🌹 Rosadormienti
For Rosadormienti, the fairies of the dorm would come out and dance about in the air and give minor blessings to the newcomers that last throughout the school year. The blessings can range from luck to protective spells to even small gifts that carry mysterious properties. The students then hold acapella shows where they sing popular songs that have the students joining in too. The dorm isn’t too extravagant with the welcoming ceremony but they have fun nonetheless. When the students are asleep, the flowers release glittering pollen that gives them pleasant dreams and help them relax.

🐠 Coquille
The sea creatures and students of the Coquille dorm would attend a musical performance that the upperclassmen would prepare with the dorm leader at the center stage. They do synchronized swimming alongside other sea creatures, they finish it off with the crystal on the roof shining bright. After the performance, the freshmen students have to show their musical capabilities by doing an idol performance of their song of choice. They can perform solo or with a group if they wish. Then afterwards is the tour of the dorm where they show them their dorm rooms as well as a special visit to the Pearl Salon.

📚 Chateau Beastiale
The Chateau Beastiale dorm will of course hold a grand feast courtesy of Gustove and his floating plates accompanied by a singing chandelier. The song, “Be Our Guest”, is a song that has been considered a tradition for the furniture to sing. The dishes are a variety of french cuisine and desserts for the students to enjoy. After the magnificent dinner, the students are allowed to roam about and get acquainted with one another. The freshmen are surprised that they get their own talking wardrobe, the wardrobes spend the first hour talking about what style would the student prefer so that they may do their duty to utmost perfection.

🏝️ Magiaoasis
The Magiaoasis dorm would hold their welcoming feast at the dorm’s large garden area where the flamingos, peacocks and parrots would fly about and do whatever they please, occasionally a parrot or two would fly close to the students to ask for a small snack before flying off. The feast has a large spread of Middle Eastern cuisine such as, manakeesh, shawarma, baklava, and zainab fingers, with coffee and limon ou nana as refreshments. The feast isn’t too extravagant but the calming atmosphere of the sunset with the sounds of chirping birds makes it feel like home.

🐲 Dragonstone
In the case of the Dragonstone dorm, there is a welcoming parade done by the dragons of the dorm, they dance and throw a golden ball around like some sort of game. The climax of the parade is when the ball is thrown high up and it explodes into a bright array of fireworks. After that, the students eat in the dining hall with the dorm leader giving a welcoming speech. The dinner isn’t filled with dancing or anything, it’s more of lively chatter that paints the image of a large family gathering. There’s chinese hotpot, dumplings, peking duck, chow mein and wontons as the main course. Chinese snowflake cake, sticky rice cake, accompanied with complimentary fortune cookies for dessert.

🍂 Sagamore
The Sagamore dorm is more of a less grand impression but it involves students given the reminder of the harmony with the land and its gifts. The saying, take only what you need and nothing more. There is a table filled with plenty of food such as, roasted turnips and winter squash, turkey with berry-mint sauce, and chia pudding with berries and amaranth for dessert. But they don’t eat yet, they have to wait for the dorm leader to hunt one bison for the bison pot roast. The dorm leader goes to hunt for a bison but there is a strict rule that the dorm leader follows if she hunts for a bison, do not kill a female or a baby bison, and the leader of the herd must be left alone. Only hunt a male that isn’t a leader, the bisons in this world have certain features that determine the leader such as large horns and a magical rune that symbolizes leader on its body. When the dorm leader returns with a bison, the students the have the freshmen help with the preparation of cooking the bison pot roast. From there, the dorm leader gives thanks to the blessings of the earth and they tell stories while they eat.

🐸 Lagniappe
The Lagniappe dorm will always start with a jazz band playing classic jazz music or jazz covers. There’s dancing and singing in the dorm, the fireflies circle around the boat as the students party. Of course there’s going to be food! The famous Gumbo made by the historical figure is to die for, beignets, jambalaya and king cake. Every dish made has to be followed accordingly to the recipes of the princess and the way she did it. Afterwards, the fireflies disperse and put on a light show for them. The animals in the swamp emerge as if to welcome the new students to the dorm. The frogs jump aboard the boat and stick close to the students as if they want to watch the show with them, this is a normal occurrence so the students are reminded to keep in mind of the frogs.

Chapter Text

DCA Clothing 101

School Uniforms

As mentioned before, the school uniforms of Diamond Crown Academy are modified to fit the students’ liking, with only indicator of their dorm is the color scheme and one of ten gem brooches. Futterwacken students wear custom keys instead of brooches.

Dorm Outfits

The dorm outfits are worn in the dorm living quarters. The outfits, like the school uniforms follow the princess color palette, except this time these outfits have a more ‘princess’ look. Like ball gowns, frills and laces and all that jazz. Unless it’s Dragonstone, Futterwacken, Lagniappe and Sagamore, they don’t have the concept of ball gowns due to the culture difference. The dresses are worn during a ball or an assembly that requires them to wear their dorm outfit. Although the students sometimes choose not to wear their dorm outfit when in their respective dorms because of the difficulty in movement. But there are instances such as Classical Dance class that require them to change into dorm outfits for their lessons. Even Basic Etiquette class would have this requirement. Also, the brooches they wear are also present, but just in a different area on the gown. Futterwacken still has the keys though. Much like the school uniforms, the dorm outfits are modified to fit the students’ liking and much like the uniforms, the only indicator of their dorm is the outfit’s color palette and the gem brooch on their outfit.

Idol Brands and Styling Jewels

Diamond Crown Academy has sponsors from designer brands that cater to idols. Some of the brands are made by the students or like Ella, the brand is from a company brand. Students of the Glastanzerin dorm usually come up with these student idol brands. But there are some from other dorms who make idol brands for themselves or for their dorm. The brand logos are registered on the school’s main building where is a large studio where the brand owners work on their creations. The students have an individual station with enough space to work on their designs. Once a design was finished, they send their work into a large wardrobe that is placed on their station where it will turn it into a rectangular gemstone where you could faintly see the design in it. The gemstone is about 4 inches long and about half an inch in width. The color of the gem is the same color of the princess gem that corresponds to the dorm. These gems are referred to as “Styling Jewels” (スタイリング・ジュエル). The jewels have a rarity indication for the outfits. A plain jewel is a common rarity, a jewel with gold on the corners is a rare, a jewel with gold on all sides with a rose on the top is an premium rare, and a jewel with gold on all sides with a crown on top also counts as a premium rare. When the students graduate, it is their choice whether to pass down their brand to another student or continue and make it a business. But there are those brands who have to be discontinued because the student has graduated from the school.

The ensemble has two categories: Event Ensemble and Idol Ensemble. It indicates what purpose the clothes are used for and are strictly for that specific use only. Event ensembles have a heart and crown symbol while the Idol ensembles have a music note symbol. The difference between the two is that the rarity of the Event Ensembles are always Common, because of it has no use for the stage performance. Idol Ensembles on the other hand, have three rarity types, Rare, Ultra Rare and Premium Rare. Depending on the student’s idol rank, they may be able to use high rarity cards if their rank is high enough. The Idol Ensembles are strictly for the stage and it is considered not proper to wear them to events that don’t require Idol Ensembles.

The Solo Stage Uniform

The Solo Stage Uniform is worn for concerts where the students are evaluated by their teachers on a performance. Kind of like an exam but you need to dance good to pass. It is also the first coord given to students when they enter the academy. The styling jewel of the coord will be placed in their room where they can see it along with a note. The Solo Stage Uniform’s rarity is neutral, meaning that it isn’t rare, or common. It’s rarity level is non-existent.

Idol Elements

Illusion Appeal - Like Aikatsu’s aura but instead of objects floating around the idol, this is actually a space that contains the illusion. The size depends on the magic level and training of the idol. It can range from a small area around the idol to the entire stage.
Ensemble Wings - The wings are not a permanent part of the outfit as it is also part of the Illusion Appeal, it corresponds to the audience’s favorability towards the idol. Beginners don’t get the wings at all until they train more and gain favorability. The design of the wings correspond to the dorm, all wing designs and colors are the same for all idols. The wings start small, as the idol gains more favorability the wings get bigger and become more detailed.
Parvus - The wings are small and simple, this is a symbol that means the student has gained enough favorability, albeit in a small amount, to rise up from Rank E to Rank D.
Neutrum - The wings become a bit bigger and gain more details and has a sparkle to them, this shows the student’s growth in favorability and the rank of these wings signify the Rank C to Rank B
Luxuriosa - The wings are bigger than the person and has a lot of intricate details and have an ethereal glow. These wings are a symbol to represent the highest Rank A with a worldwide favorability, it also displays the magical prowess of the student. Unlike Aikatsu with a variety of wings. It only has one color because Illusion Appeals are like spells, everyone using the same spell will have the same effect, so it would make sense that the wings would look the same too.

Although DCA isn’t as famous as NRC and RSA, they are still known for their academics and the variety of studies for their students. Crowley respects and idolizes the academy and would sometimes wish the troublesome boys of NRC would follow their example.
• She would get along with Idia the most as she would give him candy and would be at ease with him.
• Malleus will recognize Citrouille since Lilia mentioned meeting her at some point. Citrouille remembers meeting Malleus when he was a wee lad. So, she is the only one out of them all who strikes a conversation. Reminiscing on how tiny he was and how he grew into such a lovely young man. Malleus will keep the old fairy company and would drop hints that he was always left uninvited to events in the school.

Puchi’s Relationships

• Riddle thinks that Puchi would be a troublemaker like Grim but he’s surprised that the pastel pup was much more likeable and even offers to correct the students having trouble with rules by making a very organized handbook that has all 810 rules sorted and categorized by context, time and number. Riddle envies the DCA students for having such a reliable mascot. He spoils Puchi with an unbirthday party.
• Leona thinks he wouldn’t survive a day in Savanaclaw. But he was wrong, Puchi somehow managed to put the rowdy students in line which made the dorm more peaceful and quieter, therefore Ruggie and Leona want to keep him as a permanent resident.
• Puchi won’t like how sneaky Azul is but it’s not his place to interfere with what Azul does in the dorm. Azul would definitely use his cuteness to raise the sales for Monstro Lounge. Puchi likes the decor for Monstro Lounge but if he spots any sign of trouble, you bet he’d help out.
• In the case of Kalim, Puchi would be greeted with a party. He’d feel so honored and pampered, Kalim is now his favorite student. Puchi would feel sad to leave Scarabia because he doesn’t want to leave Kalim. Kalim feels the same way, clinging to the puppy crying while Jamil has to pry him off Puchi.
• Vil would dress Puchi up, no doubt about it. All the cute frills and the glitter that Puchi loves so much. Puchi likes it that Vil can tell what his style is. These two would be the divas, Vil likes Puchi because he can appreciate a hard worker. And Puchi can admire the way Vil takes care of himself and the level of confidence he has.
• Idia likes cats but maybe he’d like Puchi since he looks so cute and colorful. A contrast to his dark environment. Puchi would be scared at first cause there’s this grinning young man with fiery blue hair looking at him like he wants to eat him. After clearing up the misunderstanding, Idia would want pictures of Puchi being cute so he has an album compiled for it.
• The first thing Malleus thinks, is that Puchi looks like something out of a Tamagotchi. He wants to squish and cuddle him, but he’s worried he might scare Puchi off. Don’t worry, after Lilia discreetly mentions how he isn’t invited because people forget to do so, Puchi will be on him like glue. Malleus is happy, he looks like he’s scowling but that’s just him feeling his heart clench as he stares at Puchi’s big blue eyes.

Florence’s Relationships

• Mozus would criticize him and Asher for constantly fighting each other.
• Florence additionally dislikes the lack of flowers. He’s neutral on everyone but he might take a liking to Divus because he likes his fashion sense. He might even ask him to attack Asher with his crop.
• While Vil would most likely want to get to know the three fairies since their sense of style caught his eye. But Florence would be the one to indulge him in his fashion secrets. Florence would be impressed with Vil’s amazing skills in producing his own beauty products. These two would definitely face time each other on the latest gossip and style.
• Riddle would initially hate how he and Asher would bicker constantly for the most trivial of reasons. If he were to have them as teachers, he won’t hesitate to use Off With Your Head on them if it gets them to stop acting like a bunch of toddlers.

Faustus’s Relationships

• Faustus is forced to talk to Mozus, because he is kept on the spot and is asked questions about what his cat is saying. He is trying to be polite and would be stuck until Mozus is done. Mozus is fine with speaking to Faustus, as he can have conversations on what his cat thinks.
• Faustus would want to have Azul sing the pieces he wrote. He wants to see what the boy can do. His students are excellent at singing but if Azul sang, he’d be screaming through the roof. The fairy would insist that if he had time, he should sing with his students. But with Azul being so busy, might not be able to. But he will support Faustus as an online audience, Azul is more than aware of the great composer’s reputation.

Asher’s Relationships

• Asher is neutral on the NRC staff and think something is fishy with Headmaster Crowley. He would want to keep himself away from Divus at all costs because he dislikes the vibe he gives off.
• Malleus will recognize Asher and his brothers because Lilia fondly remembers messing with them in the past. He and Florence immediately stagger when Malleus comes over. Faustus will scold them to be more polite and tries to hold a conversation and be gracious despite his shaking knees. Asher holds a grudge against Lilia for playing pranks on him, but since he’s in Malleus’ dorm he won’t try to argue in fear for the boy’s power.

Duchess’s Relationships

• Ashton and Divus will on occasion flirt with Duchess, with the former adoring her fashion sense and would use the “fashion excuse” to get close to her. Duchess is however unaware of the chaos and the flirting that happens. She would certainly just be the polite and graceful person she is, catching more eyes and possibly hearts in the process.
• Leona is neutral about the whole thing, except when Duchess came over to converse with him and being the good boi he is, is very polite and a bit shy with the woman. Duchess becomes his favorite teacher when she talks about him and wants to know what he does despite knowing he’s royalty. She didn’t ask about his brother even once. This brings such joy to him; he could feel his heart grow three times its size but he won’t show it. With Duchess having three children, she never leaves one in the shadows, and her recognizing Leona’s talents will catch them off guard.
• Vil might also like Duchess as her motherly nature would warm his heart and he’d be a total gentleman. Duchess appreciates a young man with excellent manners, and would probably dote on him.

Actius’s Relationships

• Actius and Ashton would butt heads because Ashton will challenge him and say outright that the boys can overpower the girls if they ever have a match. Also Ashton flirting with Duchess will set him off so damn hard that he’s tempted to charge at the buff man like a bull.
• Divus better get rid of the red in his outfit, Actius will charge him too. Divus would not like Actius because he has a cloth tied to his waist as his “outfit”, his hooves make a loud clicking noise on the floor tiles which annoys him so much and his goat hair would get on his expensive fur coat and he would hate that.
• Actius would admire Riddle’s strictness, though would sometimes be a bit shocked at the reasons he would punish his dorm tenants. He’d encourage Riddle and train him to the best of his abilities because he sees a fire in the boy’s eyes. Epel would be jealous, he wants to be trained by Actius too.
• He’s also always wanted to try the wine in the Land of Scalding Sands, and Kalim is oh so gracious to provide him with the best ones in his father’s wine cabinet.

MG Genie’s Relationships

• MG Genie would hang around with Sam and they’d talk business. Since MG has access to rarities that are usually expensive to obtain. Sam will take the opportunity. Also he’d also like Divus because he digs the monochrome style.
• Azul would most likely have a small chat with MG Genie. He’s a calculating businessman and sees that MG has access to all the valuables. He’d want to keep this genie in his list of business partners. MG knows what’s up, he’s no fool so he’s sure to work his way around Azul. He thinks the young boy has a cunning vibe to him.
• MG Genie would also develop a fondness for Kalim as both are party animals and will plan such extravagant and big parties. Kalim is now officially a VIP guest if he ever stumbles upon MG’s finest party venues. Jamil won’t have to worry because MG cleans everything up with a snap of his fingers.

Fairy Brother Trivia

Florence

• The eldest fairy brother who loves to shop for anything red or pink. He is very much into jewelry trends and would have clippings from magazines into his journals to take note.
• His personality is more of a charming gentleman who is a social butterfly and is always up to date in trendy topics. He doesn’t care if the clothes he’s wearing are close to a dress, if he looks fabulous in it then he wears it, no questions. Much like Asher, he acts like an overprotective dad towards his students, even during events where RSA and DCA have held balls on either campus, he’s always scanning the area to make sure the boys don’t do anything rash to his precious students.
• Once met Divus during a fashion show and the two keep in touch from time to time. Though there were times Divus started to contact him more often ever since Ella got enrolled into the school. And he’s always kept tabs on her latest creations and he sends Divus pictures with her permission.
• Even though he and Asher may bicker from time to time, they do care about each other but it’s a tough love kind of relationship between them. Their ideals and morals just always seem to clash and it leads to comical arguing.
• He absolutely loves flowers and sometimes the students place a lovely arrangement in the vase placed on his desk. He makes bookmarks and even would make flower crowns out of them.
• Florence has a small flower bed full of roses and he named each one. Every time the flowers wilt and regrow into buds he addresses it with “(Flower name) II, III, IV…” and he will proceed to go up a number every spring. He keeps the flowerbed in his quarters.
• He can be seen snacking on strawberries during break. He likes chocolate-covered strawberries when buying his snacks.

Faustus

• The second fairy brother that keeps to himself sometimes. He does say something now and then but he likes to spectate rather than interact. He is a rather small-talk kind of guy. Doesn’t say too much and won’t make the first move at all.
• For some reason, he can’t spend a single second in the kitchen without something catching on fire when it involves the stove or oven. Which is why his brothers insisted that one of them but him gets to use the kitchen. The only thing he could make was PB&J.
• His skills in music were so phenomenal that even the animals gathered and danced around whenever he starts music class.
• Secretly a bit of a troll who wants to watch the glorious chaos unfold. When Florence and Asher start yelling, he’s sitting on his folding chair and munching popcorn. He got the idea to set up the “Asher vs. Florence” club and everyone but the two professors knew about its existence.
• Usually he wears a polite smile, but the thing that his brothers know is NOT to make any noise when he’s napping or sleeping. He’s very terrifying and will become such a menace that it almost looks like he’s going to commit murder on the perpetrator.
• This is the only time the two would try to get along and even reschedule an argument at a later date in fear of facing Faustus’ wrath.
• He loves a good tea party and can even be seen lounging around Futterwacken’s tea table during lunch break. He likes sample platters, he thinks it’s like a mukbang but it’s the miniscule version.

Asher

• The youngest of the fairy brothers who is the toughest out of them all. He gets along with Actius and they sometimes work out together and they even have arm wrestling competitions. They even took turns on the mechanical bull to see who can last the longest. Sometimes they play matador with it, purposely trying to make it angry and try to dodge it’s large metal body.
• He is rather blunt and won’t sugarcoat unless necessary or the situation is dire that being straightforward won’t help. He isn’t as strict as Mozus, he’s just stern because he thinks logically that people will take advantage of someone who is innocent so he wants to open their eyes to reality, his views clash with Florence’s who thinks that girls don’t have to always be tough to be taken seriously.
• Asher likes to drink a variety of alcoholic beverages. His favorite is vodka. Though when he isn’t craving anything alcoholic, he’ll sometimes get a root beer float. He is great at making the most aesthetically pleasing sundaes and floats when he feels a little hungry for something sweet. He dislikes eating plain ice cream and will bring out a lot of toppings and snacks to add to it.
• When he gets mad, he rolls up his sleeve and goes in to talk with his fists. It's instinct by this point and he has to be held back.
• Divus makes him nervous every time he smacks that whip, he thinks it’s the sound it makes and how he can imagine how painful it would be if that hit someone.

Summary:

Information on the Pommeneige dorm, inspired by the world of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Chapter Text

Pommeneige (ポンメネージュ寮, Ponmenēju Ryō) was founded on the Cheerfulness (陽気, Yōki) of the Innocent Princess and is inspired by the world of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Students of this dorm excel in Animal Care and Animal Linguistics.

Dorm Founder: Snow White

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (121)
Known in-universe as the Innocent Princess (無実の姫, Mujitsu no Hime) or the Princess of the Dwarves (小人の姫, Kobito no Hime)

Dorm Crest

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (122)
The center of the dorm crest has a stained glass window decorated with blue glass with a red outline and an apple in the center, as well as the dorm’s name above it. On both sides of the stained glass window, there are cherry blossom tree branches. There are also two birds with one on the left flying and the other one on the right resting on the tree branch.

Dorm Leader: Evonie Apfel

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (123)
Pommeneige’s current dorm leader is Evonie Apfel, a hard working young woman who doesn’t have many friends due to being aware of people’s intentions.

Dorm Fairy: Applette

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (124)
Applette (アプレット, Apuretto) is Pommeneige’s dorm fairy and vice dorm leader. She is described as being very sweet and quite the social butterfly. She would often fly around supervising the students over anything that needs assistance in the dorm. The dwarves would always greet her as if she was royalty and some of them were timid and blushing around her. Applette loves apple pie and would sometimes ask for a small piece to eat when students are in the kitchen.
Her current appearance is based on Evonie’s preference to want to be seen as someone approachable and reliable, which plays into her hiding anything unladylike from other students, worried that her image as dorm leader might be jeopardized if she were to do something not so graceful.

Dorm Living Quarters

• The Pommeneige dorm living quarters exterior is described to look like a humble cottage. It’s large to accommodate many students but everything looks so comfy and relaxing with all the brown wood and white stone walls of the building.
• There are little dwarves that take care of the living quarters maintenance. They will find lost objects and keep things neat and tidy for the students. And the students repay them by placing sweets, bread or even small clothes for them in the charity basket in the lobby. While the dwarves are benevolent, they will use pranks and tricks to teach students a lesson should they be too dependent on them or do something unpleasant, so there are rules that they follow to keep them happy while also building their independence.
• There is a large oak with a small door where some of the students practice singing. That oak is believed to be the residence of the little dwarves and they enjoy the sweet serenade of the students.
• Students have seen the dwarves on several occasions but because they run around the dorms through small mouse holes and passageways you don’t see them often. The only one who sees them a lot is the dorm leader (Evonie in this case) as they consider the one in charge of the dorm as the one who holds responsibility and at certain times you may hear them playing songs and yodeling a merry tune.

Etymology

The dorm’s name is a portmanteau of the French words “pomme” and “neige” which mean “apple” and “snow” respectively. The former referencing the poisoned apple while the latter references Snow White being described as having “skin white as snow.”

She likes anything shiny or pretty and will flock to it and admire it for long periods of time, whether it be gems, coins, cute scribbles or even metals, she is on it like glue. She uses her magic to bring the statues in the dorm’s ballroom to life, she likes the waltz especially and would gush at talks about meeting prince charming with the students.
Her current appearance is modeled after Ella’s childhood doll which she cherished dearly. Ella would sometimes put the doll in carved pumpkins and enjoyed pretending that the doll was the Maiden of the Glass Shoe on her way to the ball.

Dorm Living Quarters

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (129)
• The Glastanzerin dorm living quarters exterior design is described as being a fusion of Cinderella’s castle and the château she originally lived in. It is complete with plenty of space for the animals such as stables, pens and aviaries. The building has so many windows and it is kept so shiny that it basically glitters in the sunlight.
• There are plenty of horses in this dorm due to the wild horses that come by to graze on the field nearby. And most of the students have horses as their animal companions. They don’t have a jumping course so they often ride them in a forest path to practice their riding and jumping. The pathway leads to the Pommeneige Living Quarters then to the Rosadormienti Living Quarters and finally back to the Glastanzerin Living Quarters.
• The building interior also has a lot of mouse holes and tunnels for mice to go through. The mice and other small animals help around by keeping things tidy and they have a feeding plate inside the room of the students because the mouse holes lead to the inside rather than the hallways.
• There is also a sewing room where there is plenty of cloth, threads and many other necessities needed for making clothes. And there’s a drawer to hold clothes meant for smaller animals or their pets.
• The building’s interior hallways are lined with paintings of royals and of Cinderella in different elegant clothes. The students often admire the dresses she wore, especially the iconic ball gown she wore to the Prince’s royal ball. That very same dress is on display in the lobby in the middle of the staircase intersection. It has a golden plaque describing the history behind the dress and no one knows what the material is made of since it was made by a fairy.

Etymology

The dorm’s name is a portmanteau of the German words “glas” and “tänzerin” meaning “glass” and “dancer” respectively. The former referencing the glass slipper and the later referencing the royal ball where Cinderella first danced with the prince in the original 1950 film. While the original 1950 film was based on Charles Perrault’s adaptation, there was an adaptation of Cinderella by German authors, the Brothers Grimm.

Dorm Fairy: Sui

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (133)
Sui (スイ, Sui) is Futterwacken’s dorm fairy and vice dorm leader. She is described as being good at entertaining. She pops out from everywhere, she only resides in one teapot but finding it is hard unless you’re the dorm leader. The teapots in the dorm follow her command and would listen to her when the dorm leader isn’t around. Sui loves to play pranks on people.
Her current appearance is based on Allison’s childhood love for nursery rhymes and Sui’s appearance is based on her personal favorite, The Walrus and the Carpenter. This nursery rhyme was the one that her mother always read to her and Maddison. Alison felt sorry for the little oysters so much as a child that she refused to eat when they were served at dinner. It was a funny memory for Allison.

Dorm Living Quarters

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (134)
• The Futterwacken dorm living quarters is described as resembling a mansion with the exterior is decorated with singing flowers that greet students with a tune. They are often used as a pet project by the professors. The process of raising it is quite difficult though, it needs specific procedures and fertilizers if you want a certain musical piece.
• The most bizarre thing you could find in the dorm living quarters is the floating teapots. They have a design on the body that indicates which tea is in the pot. Nobody knows what makes them float but no one’s going to find out anyway and the tea inside the pot is affected by the teapots' emotions. If it feels anything negative, the tea will taste like swamp water. So the students of the dorm make sure to keep the pots in high spirits by polishing them and being polite.
• The building may look small on the outside but inside it has a staircase that leads downwards onto several rooms and doors. One could easily get lost if they don’t memorize which door leads to their destination. The students use their own clocks or watches to tell time. The clocks in the Futterwacken dorm living quarters only ring at 3 o'clock and it’s when the teapots start to float frantically.
• Instead of the Queen of Hearts rules, they follow the rules of the Mad Hatter. But this only applies to tea time and nothing else. However, the rules are so absurd that it looks like it was written by a madman.

Futterwacken Doors

• The dorm has several doors that lead to random places all over Twisted Wonderland. Most doors have a unique design that can give away clues to the location it leads to, but then there are times that some doors would change positions in the building, depending on the time or day a certain door may change its usual spot.
• MG Genie’s VIP parties that may be accessed through one of these doors is a mystery even to the Futterwacken students. The door to the VIP party is a golden door that has an Arabian design with golden MG letters engraved on the door.
• There is a door that has the color scheme of the Mad Hatter (Teal and Yellow) with a 10/6 quarters sign on the front. The doorknob is sentient and talks in riddles, the dorm leader and the dorm fairy know how to translate and answer the riddles asked by the doorknob. Most of them don’t make sense but that’s the point, it’s all nonsense. Once the door has been unlocked it leads to a whimsical world of plants with curly leaves and teacups growing out of them and the scent of tea wafting in the air.

Hatter Day

• In similar fashion to Heartslabyul with their “Unbirthday Party”, Futterwacken also has its own party. It’s called Hatter Day (ハッター・デー, Hattā Dē).
• An extravagant yet unusual tea party held on Saturday in the first week of the month. Students have to wear hats they have to make themselves and wear wonderland themed clothing to match with their hats. Some of them sew the clothes on their own while others go to Glastanzerin to request a commission.
• They hold the party in front of the dorm, with a very long table in the garden. The singing flowers are placed as the centerpieces and the floating teapots come out and whistle to the tune.
• But the best part of Hatter Day is the “Great Teapot Hunt”. Within the dorm’s many doors, there is a unique door that only shows up on Hatter Day, it bears the mark of the Mad Hatter and has a talking doorknob. If one enters this door they are led to a bright colored forest with teacups growing out of bushes and the scent of tea is everywhere.
• Students here would spot the wild teapots called Hatter Pots (Allison jokingly refers to them as “Crackpots”). These teapots don’t look normal, they have the oddest of shapes and colors and most importantly, they are very chaotic to catch. But the reason why they catch them is the tea contained within. It holds odd flavors but they are considered a golden opportunity to try the most bizarre tea flavors out there. The way these wild Hatter Pots don’t work the same as the ones in the dorm. They open their lids and mimic the action of “consuming” tea leaves to make the tea. And they clean themselves in a nearby fountain that spouts soap water and is surrounded by dogs with brushes for faces and students are allowed to only catch ONE. And the reason why every student participates is because for some odd reason, the Hatter Pots serve tea to those who caught them only, they won’t serve anyone else.
• The Hatter Pots are odd with unique colors and shapes, some have more than one spout, some have a square-shaped body.
• The Hatter Pots are only around for Hatter Day. When the tea party ends, they disappear in an explosion of glitter and fireworks while whistling an odd tune. They teleport back to their domain and go about their little teapot business.
• It’s a much less organized yet eccentric event for the students. A contrast to the detailed and very organized unbirthday party at Heartslabyul.

The reason why Futterwacken is a special dorm is because of the doors it has inside, it could lead to places in Twisted Wonderland, or perhaps … A doorway to other dimensions such as the world the protagonist came from.
Why do the students of this dorm have keys instead of gem brooches? Maybe they are the ones who can navigate through these doors without getting stuck? Allison’s unique magic has its limits. So she has her dorm keys to help her travel. Maybe that’s why there’s very few students in this dormitory.

Chapter Text

Evonie Apfel (エボニー・アッフェル, Ebonī Aferu) is the dorm leader of Pommeneige. She is a hard working young woman who will do everything in her power to help others, but she doesn’t have many friends due to the fact that she’s almost always aware of people’s true intentions.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Evonie was born to an unnamed woman who was slowly succumbing to illness and the mother knew that she would be unable to survive to raise Evonie. She managed to contact Rote and Schnee Apfel, a male same-sex couple who agreed to raise Evonie after the mother’s passing. After Evonie’s birth and the mother’s death, Rote and Schnee adopted her and the family lived peacefully in the Town of Orchard Fields.
At some point during her childhood, the children of the town would harass a young outcast. Evonie befriended them, hoping that this would cause the other children to stop harassing them. Unfortunately, this only made things worse, as the children would continue to harass them whenever Evonie wasn’t present, and they would likely taunt them about how Evonie wasn’t there to protect them. This eventually led to the outcast having to move away. When Evonie attempted to say goodbye, the outcasted friend snapped at her and blamed her for their horrible life.

Relationships

Family

Evonie doesn’t remember much about her mother due to her passing away when Evonie was still an infant. Evonie however did have a good relationship with her adoptive parents though. Rote was very loving towards Evonie and doted on her on occasions, he scares away any man who tries to flirt with her. Schnee was good at making apple based desserts according to Evonie, and he even thought her self-defense.

Pet

Evonie has a pet peacock named Highness. He is very spoiled and picky with almost everything. Evonie is the only one who takes care of him, otherwise he’ll stomp them. Though he will snub Evonie at times. Highness is shown to have a fondness for Rook, so much so that Evonie appointed him to be Highness’ caretaker in her absence.

Fellow Students

Although Evonie doesn’t have many friends, she is shown to get along with some students.

Evonie personally views Vidya and Jinlong as rivals due to athleticism and confidence. Also quite competitive with each other.

Ella is a close friend that basically became Evonie’s younger sibling figure.

Evonie views Allison as an annoying sibling and an all around thorn in her side. Evonie doesn’t know why she can’t leave Allison alone but it’s probably because her chaos sensors go off and she is compelled to fix whatever mess happened.

Perrine and Evonie are close friends since they both value their respective families and their traditions.

Night Raven College Students

Vil views Evonie as a rival, however he doesn’t outright hate her. Evonie doesn’t know what to think of him, there are times she thinks he’s a gentleman but then there are times where she finds their “rivalry” pointless.

Rook would admire Evonie for her beauty. When he first met her, he went and complimented her in a mix of French and English which confused her a lot. While Evonie finds him annoying, she’s tried her hardest not to judge him. With Rook being a hunter, Evonie keeps her animals away from him. But some reason, Highness is fond of Rook which makes Evonie a bit jealous. Rook definitely loves the peacock since he fits the aesthetic of Pomefiore, he’s contemplating about making Highness the mascot whenever Evonie leaves him in his care.

Epel is the only one Evonie can fully befriend since he isn’t like the other two. Epel initially thought she was a high class lady who would turn her nose up at activities that would ruin her look. But to his surprise, she’s not what he assumed she’d be. He definitely wants her to teach him fencing since its a physical activity that is both grace and action. Vil can’t complain. Evonie doesn’t go easy on him which caught him off guard, but she can’t help but get into the zone whenever she picks up the sword. Epel doesn’t mind though, he definitely needs it after being in another etiquette lesson from Vil or Rook.

Romance

Evonie would want someone who knows the value of hard work and possibly someone she can talk to regarding some issues about people wanting to be with her only because of her looks. So, a partner who cares more about her personality rather than her appearance.

2024 Biography

Personality

Evonie doesn’t mind if she gets a bit dirty when accomplishing a task but she makes sure that she still looks presentable and cleans up to maintain her image as a dorm leader.
She is decently sociable but it is clear that there is a wall she puts up. If she is with people she can be vulnerable around, she doesn’t hold back on what her opinion is to an extent. Those close to her know that she will support her friends throughout their issues.
She has a mild level of patience; she can tolerate small mistakes but if the mistakes keep repeating then she might have to consult the person to see if there is anything wrong.
But if it is anything like Allison does, she definitely won’t tolerate that will sternly reprimand them. Her patience reaching its limit is rather rare, but when it happens then expect yelling and spells being thrown about.
Evonie is good at multitasking, she can hold a full conversation even if she is not looking at what she is doing to face the person she is speaking to. It’s something she developed at home.
She is very competitive, it is something she developed with her dads, and she loved the feeling of being victorious. So, if she ever loses, she is determined to come up with ways to win next time. It may get irritating to lose but she is a good sport, unless she finds out the opponent is cheating, then she won’t tolerate that.
Although she is aware of people and their behavior, she doesn’t always have an accurate conclusion of what the person would do and she would be a bit suspicious but without any concrete evidence she will drop her assumptions and leave it alone.
She makes sure she has proper table manners when eating, but if she is in private, she will slouch and eat to her own standards of comfort, she still keeps in mind any crumbs that might fall.
Like Snow White, she has a fear of anything scary. She dislikes going to dark places by herself and if she sees something out of the corner of her eye then she will turn her head so fast to make sure nothing was there. She loses her composure and will activate fight or flight mode on instinct.

Pre DCA Life

Evonie was adopted by Rote and Schnee Apfel who became her parental figures. Her birth mother gave birth to her but fearing that her illness will be detrimental for Evonie’s future, she contacted the Apfel couple who were acquaintances of hers and asked them to adopt Evonie.
The couple agreed and they raised Evonie in the Town of Orchard Fields. Their house is built near a border with a large forest with a lot of wildlife and plants, it’s like a big backyard for her to explore.
Rote was the closest acquaintance of Evonie’s birth mother and it was he who made the decision to adopt the girl. Schnee teases him how during the first few years of raising a baby he went overboard in baby-proofing the house that they had so many pillows and Styrofoam than they know what to do with.
Evonie grew up as a polite girl, though she always had this curiosity to anything she thought might be a cute animal. Schnee made sure to teach her about the safety precautions when approaching a wild animal after he saw his daughter come home with a boar.
Though he doesn’t cook as much as Rote, he does know one recipe that he always taught Evonie, it was apple desserts that were pulled from his great grandmother’s cookbook. He’s kept that cookbook with him and hopes to one day pass it down to Evonie. Evonie’s favorite is the apple dumplings made by Schnee, she can’t get enough of it.

Childhood

Initially, Evonie enjoyed her time at school because everyone was very friendly to her. Of course, she is kind to them back to the point where she didn’t want to disappoint them. Until she befriended an outcast kid that the kids make fun of because of their appearance.
Evonie built up courage to defend them, which she thought was the right thing to do. At first, the outcast and Evonie got along and they were grateful for their help.
It wasn’t until the other kids cornered them and told the outcast how Evonie was just being nice because they were pitiful and how dare they think they’re equal to Evonie. This made them bitter and slowly drift apart from Evonie who had no clue what was going on.
When she heard news of her friend moving away, she wanted to say goodbye but when she managed to face them, the outcast hurled blame at her for their suffering. Telling her how she has it easy because she's pretty and she thinks she’s so great but she was arrogant.
Evonie was silent but tears were flowing down her face, both of their parents heard the commotion and awkwardly bid farewell, they didn’t know what was wrong because they thought they got along well.
After that friend left, Evonie took what they said to heart and soon she started to realize how people kept complimenting her appearance instead of her skills. The people who admired her didn’t care about her at all, they just wanted to feel like they’re the popular clique by including Evonie. The ones who didn’t made it clear that they think she’s got it easy because of her looks.
This led Evonie to change her perspective, she didn’t wear pretty dresses unless it was necessary but she kept it simple and didn’t go all out. She didn’t socialize as much with people and often spent her days helping out at home or exploring the forest.
She preferred the company of animals more than people, knowing they care more about her compassion rather than her appearance.
The words of her ex-friend still linger with her to this day, she would internally get annoyed whenever someone says she’s better suited for something else or disregards her effort.

Academic History at DCA

Evonie is a 3rd Year Pommeneige student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
Evonie is a model student, always making sure to be efficient and ensure her dorm students wouldn’t fall behind by offering to help them in their studies to the best of her abilities. When she takes a break, it would be either a walk through the woods or just snacking on anything she craves.
The dorm students at first were unsure of her as dorm leader, as she didn’t quite portray the innocence of the Princess of the Dwarves, but they find her diligence and mature aura appealing and sometimes compare her to a prince. They nicknamed her the “Apple Knight”.
Evonie excels more when it comes to sports, especially fencing. Her Papa taught her and often sparred with her when he had time. Cooking is also another strong point in her education besides general subjects.
Regarding magic, she is more combat focused and often likes to physically incorporate spells with her movement like swinging a sword.
She thought that most students in DCA would be like the ones back home, only caring about appearances but she finds out that there are a lot of different girls here. She feels at ease to know that she can at least lift the weight on her shoulders.
Somewhere down the line, she developed this second persona to fully explore her wild side. Evonie wanted to feel free without having to think twice about her image. So, she set up a persona to really let herself go.
She showed up as a mystery idol once and it all developed from there. People have called her persona “The Masked Maiden” and she takes great measures to make sure no one can figure out her identity. So much so that she joined the theater club to improve her façade.
Evonie’s grades are fairly high, though she enjoys PE more because their coach has thrilling obstacle courses that really spark her motivation. Evonie is most skilled at fencing compared to the rest of the exercises.

School Relationships

Evonie is more drawn to befriend girls who can light up the competitive fire in her as well as genuinely enjoying her company. Vidya and Jinlong became her rivals due to their athleticism and how they always do things their way. Evonie admires them for wanting to be true to themselves so she follows their example.

Ella is another close friend of Evonie, though she barely remembers meeting Ella. Ella remembers Evonie as the Glaciel family went to Orchard Fields for a vacation and she remembers this pretty girl with dark hair who was nice enough to show her around the stalls and offer her some apple tarts. Though Ella seems like someone Evonie wouldn’t befriend at first, the girl’s kindness won her over. They got even closer when Ella confided about her previous stepmother who left scars on her, mentally and physically. Evonie has not experienced that kind of abuse but she understands when Ella worries about appearance and wanting to hide what bothered them. She tends to shield Ella from anything bothering her out of habit.

Allison was a pain in the neck for Evonie, she can’t find common ground with the girl at all! She can somewhat understand not wanting to do etiquette but it’s still a class requirement. Evonie thinks she’s too reckless while Allison thinks Evonie is too hung up on maintaining an image. The only time those two can agree on something is through cooking, thought that ends quickly when Allison slips any raw fruit other than apples into her mouth.

Perrine and Evonie often share recipes and both found a common ground in sharing family traditions learned from past generations. Though Evonie can’t decide whether to be impressed or revolted when Perrine makes that weird food combination and eats it like it was 5 star.

Evonie’s relationship with Applette, her dorm fairy, is akin to her seeking comfort in the little creature. Applette’s form is derived from Evonie’s desire to feel genuine connections with other people. Applette is always sweet and kind, a contrast with Evonie’s cool and somewhat stern personality. The fairy is there to be sympathetic as well as paint Evonie as a reliable sister figure to the dorm students.

Animal Companion

Highness

Highness is a purple peacock that was given to Evonie when Schnee found an abandoned egg in the forest but there was no parent to be found. Highness was rather clingy as a chick, always looking for Evonie and crying whenever she went to school.
But Evonie still can’t understand how his attitude changed when he grew up, she guessed it might have been puberty that made him this way. She remembered using up all her saved money to buy him all those pricey bird products… it was definitely when she put too much effort into his care that he became this way.
Highness is arrogant and would stomp on anyone that he doesn’t deem worthy to get close to his personal space. Not even Evonie was spared but he does it less often when the threat of being sent to the vet was used.
Highness has his own personal trunk full of jewelry that he has Evonie dress him with, she doesn’t tell him that they’re mostly made from glass by Ella. There was no way that Evonie could afford such expensive jewelry so imitations are good enough as long as he doesn’t know.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Friends of the Forest”. The unique magic developed when Evonie felt awful after the confrontation with the ex-friend that she made the mistake of running into the forest during a rainstorm. She ended up crying under a hollow log from how hurt and scared she was.
Remembering the lullaby Rote often sang to her to comfort her in times of need, she quietly hummed the song unaware that the animals in the forest gathered around to comfort her. She was shocked at first to see so many animals around her but they brought her the comfort she needed until her parents found her.
Evonie often did this in private because it felt like her sanctuary if she ever gets stressed. She’s developed a soft spot for animals, Highness is a complicated case though.
She also excels in using fire magic due to her living in the woods and her family often having to camp out on special occasions. She can also use this offensively during matches by either setting projectiles or a dome trap.

Familial Relationships

Rote Apfel

Rote Apfel is called “Dad” by Evonie and he has red hair and a large build that may seem intimidating but he is actually quite sweet and efficient in several handiwork around the household. Rote is only muscular because he did a lot of errands before which included chopping wood and heavy lifting.
He runs an animal sanctuary that cares for injured or abandoned animals. Quite a few of them have been adopted as family pets so it is expected to find a few animals lounging in their household.
Rote can’t help himself, all of the animals seem so cute to him, and he wished he had a bigger house to adopt them all. Schnee had to remind him that there is a limit to how many animals they can keep in the house.
Rote taught Evonie a lot of life hacks and tips on easy fixes on problems that usually need professionals to fix.
He is such a protective papa bear and often times his pouting face looks so intimidating without even meaning to. He is the empath that contrasts with Schnee’s parenting style.

Schnee Apfel

Schnee Apfel is called “Papa” by Evonie and he has white hair and a slim build but he is very athletic with good reflexes. At first glance, he doesn’t seem intimidating due to his beautiful face but the moment he gets angry is when he becomes terrifying.
It comes with his job as a park ranger, he works in the town’s tourist park. There are times when he was called to handle a rampaging animal that might harm people nearby. But there are also entitled bastards or people with barely a brain cell who get themselves into trouble at the park.
Schnee doesn’t tolerate any nonsense in the park and is often called to handle the problematic visitors.
Schnee was the strict parent but he doesn’t go overboard in discipline. Most of the punishments when Evonie did something wrong were just household chores while he explains to her why it was wrong. He makes sure to properly teach her without being too harsh as he knows that children will be children.
He is the tough love kind of father which contrasts Rote’s parenting style.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name derives from the word “Ebony” with a few letter changes while her last name “Apfel” is the German word for Apple.
• Evonie can’t eat any other fruit raw besides apples, it’s still a mystery to her as to why. They’re fine when it comes to desserts or even jam but the raw product never fails to make her dislike it.
• Despite her confidence, she actually can’t stand anything related to horror. She will shriek and hide away.
• Her early concept was supposed to be a more confident and badass Snow White. Her first two designs looked too similar to Weiss Schnee from RWBY, so she was redesigned.

Chapter Text

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (173)
Ella Glaciel (エラ・グラシエル, Era Gurashieru) is the dorm leader of Glastanzerin. Ella loves fashion as much as she loves her father, but she can be a bit sensitive and naive.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Ella was born and raised in the Glasswork Kingdom into the Glaciel Family, a family of fashion designers. Although, each family member focuses on a certain fashion item or style which is why they are sought after. The entire family makes up the ensemble which puts out some really unique sets. The Glaciel Family even have their own brand called “Midnight Mirror” (ミッドナイト・ミラー, Middonaito Mirā).
Ella is the daughter of Gaspard Antoine Glaciel, a gentlemanly shoemaker and his late wife, Emelette Glaciel, a jeweler who loved her daughter dearly. From a very young age, Ella was praised for her talent in fashion. Ella often accompanied her parents to events and often tried to mimic their fashion styles. Many loved it when the whole family went to events together, they looked like a doll set.
However, Ella’s life took a turn for the worst after Emelette’s death. Her father remarried Lucille Luciferia, a cruel and vain woman who married Gaspard to enhance her social status and she even went so far as too wear the jewelry Emelette made and showing them off as if it belonged to her. Luciferia was known to be an educator, so Gaspard allowed her to educate Ella, unaware at first how biased and harsh she’d be on his daughter. She would physically, emotionally and verbally abuse Ella, going so far as to strike her from behind her legs if she got a small thing wrong, the constant assaults resulted in numerous bruises and scars being left on Ella’s legs. Her step-brothers, Edwin and Roman were a rowdy bunch that always harassed Ella. Messing about in her room and making a mess of everything. This made Ella afraid to tell her father of Luciferia’s abusive nature, believing that because she was still a child, he wouldn’t believe her.
Gaspard eventually discovered Luciferia’s true nature when he noticed that Ella was walking as if she was in pain and how she would distance herself from her family during events. A maid spoke up and revealed everything to Gaspard when he returned from a long business trip. Horrified and ashamed of himself for marrying a cruel woman and allowing her to hurt his family, Gaspard filed for divorce and a restraining order, which was added when he asked Ella and she broke down in tears, telling him all the lies that Luciferia implanted in her young mind. That was the last straw so he demanded that not one of the Glaciel family’s possessions such as jewels be in her possession and ever since then, Luciferia remained a disgraced woman.
Following the incident, Gaspard became more attentive to his daughter, feeling guilty for not being there for her when she needed someone most. While he remains kind and polite, he becomes distant when a woman tries to get closer to him, though that just made him even more attractive to a bachelorette, unfortunately for him. It was when Ella turned 15 that her father opened his heart to another woman. Claudette Darlington was Ella’s second stepmother. While Ella significantly recovered from the incident with Luciferia, she still has trust issues and keeps her distance. While she knows that Claudette was nice and meant no harm, the incident with Luciferia permanently damaged her, Claudette still hopes that she and Ella could bond properly as mother and daughter.

Personality

Ella is described by her peers as sensitive, sweet and naive. It’s safe to assume she became a sensitive girl due to her abusive relationship with Luciferia. Despite this negative relationship, Ella remains a kind hearted young lady, always willing to assist others.
While Ella has a love for fashion, she can be rather critical about people’s fashion choices and even gets excited about pampering someone up for an event.

Appearance

Ella is a young girl of average height in her mid-teens. She has fair skin, blue eyes, and shoulder-length dusty pink hair. Her hair is in the style of a bob cut with blunt bangs and a waterfall braid in the back.

Years after divorcing Luciferia, Gaspard remarried again around the time Ella reached adolescence, this time to a woman named Claudette Darlington.

Night Raven College Students

Ella and Vil are close friends due to their interest in fashion. In public they looked sophisticated and elegant but as soon as a slumber party is set up Ella listens to him rant about Leona and Epel and probably many other things while doing each other’s nails and combing each other’s hair.

When she first met Epel, Ella initially called him cute but when he voiced how he didn’t like that, she apologized profusely. Ella offered anything to make up for the rude thing she did and he requested her to make a cool leather jacket like the one from Savanaclaw. Ella accepted the request and Epel made sure that Vil wouldn't see it otherwise he’d have asked her to make adjustments. After that misunderstanding, they get along as friendly acquaintances because Ella has similar interests to Vil. There wasn’t much in common, but due to Ella’s sensitive nature, he’d have a chance to be a knight in shining armor because he’s a rough country boy.

Ella is very casual with Rook with a bit of shyness at first, she might have had a small crush on him because he looked like a prince charming to her. He certainly would want to test the fashion skills of a Glaciel so he’s made it a game where he would wear a different perfume everytime and have Ella guess what perfume he wore that day. One time, he wore a cheap brand just to test her and she had this disappointed look on her face and asked if he got scammed. Rook laughed it off and said that it was on purpose to test her then proceeded to use a better perfume to get rid of the old smell.

Since Silver is always tired, this is a chance for her to advertise to him a new suit she’s making. A pull on the string and it inflates into a comfy sleeping bag. Ella would just admire him because he looks so ethereal with his silver hair, but when she finds out about his sleeping habits she’ll take the opportunity to make sure his clothes don’t get dirty from sleeping on the ground.
Ella is nervous of Malleus but she does admire his majestic aura. She wants to design clothes that’ll make his horns stand out but she can’t bring herself to since he’s royalty as well as one of the most powerful mages there is. But she does have her sketchbook filled with designs for him.

2024 Biography

Personality

She is incredibly skilled in sewing and even has a fashion brand under her name at DCA. Her family’s clothing apparel is well known in a number of kingdoms. When working, she gets a fiery look in her eyes and will rush to her workspace and make the clothes with the help of magic and some precision with a needle.
Due to her noble upbringing, she carries herself in a lady-like manner. Always keeping her hand folded when she sits, greets with a bow, uses words that are graceful and sweet, and many other things. Which means she is also knowledgeable regarding trends in social circles.
She isn’t really brave nor is she assertive, if faced with someone aggressive she just runs away. And she’s so quick like a mouse that no one can catch up to her. Yelling will cause her to freeze up, it was a habit that never went away after the abuse she suffered under her first stepmother.
Has a skill for marketing, she focuses on what makes the product good and presents it to the client by flattering their style and recommending a set suited for them without offending the person.
Any other topic other than her interests makes her mind blank though, she keeps quiet until the topic is something she knows.
Whenever she changes clothes, she quickly starts with changing stockings as she still feels insecure with her leg scars. She would rather endure the hot weather in stockings rather than show the scars. It sometimes throbs with subtle pain.

Pre DCA Life

Ella spent her early years in a loving embrace of her parents. The two often pampered their daughter with plenty of cute gifts and toys but the most treasured gift Ella kept was a jewelry set of baby blue birds made by her mother before she passed. She often gazes upon it to remember her mother.
When her father remarried to Lucille, her life was spent in abuse. Constantly being tormented by her step siblings and getting punished for every little mistake by her step mother. The servants feared Lucille as she would threaten their jobs and flaunt on how she has connections that will cause trouble to their families. Until a servant had enough and told the Gaspard of what had been happening while he was away.
Gaspard was ashamed of himself for letting such a terrible woman into his household to threaten his servants and his precious daughter. He filed for a lawsuit and this was the first time that he wasn’t timid or gentle. His eyes were cold as he stared down the Luciferia family, this was the first time he’s ever felt such anger.
He became protective of Ella and often had background checks on new people he hired and closed himself off from any women who he assumed was just aiming for his wealth and title.
Ella slowly recovered but there were still traces of trauma, but she tries her best to be better so she wouldn’t worry her father. She was glad he met another woman who was genuinely caring but she still struggles to open up, yet she hopes to overcome the past to finally be a happy family again.

Childhood

Ella’s memories of her mother are quite few, considering that she was very young when she passed but she wants to keep those memories alive by talking to the servants who worked for her mother, asking her father as well as looking through the photo albums. She feared that forgetting her mother’s memories would be like throwing away a cherished family member.
There was one memory that she always liked to hear about, it was when she was but a toddler in her two’s that she shocked both parents when she dragged some silk onto an unfinished dress and the parents realizing that the color Ella picked looked better. Gaspard always questions how genetically gifted Ella’s talent was for fashion.
During the time where she suffered under the Luciferia family, the fear and trauma was ingrained into her and she would flinch or freeze up if anyone held a stick or something close to that near her. Her father had trusted family doctors, who are sworn to keep the leg scars between them, to look after and help Ella mentally recover.
It took almost a year and a half but Ella was able to act normally again with the help of doctors, though loud yelling and arguments still make her feel uneasy, she can handle herself a bit better.

Academic History at DCA

Ella is a 2nd year Glastanzerin student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
She always admired the story of the Maiden of the Glass Shoe, so she was overjoyed to be sorted into her dream dorm. Ella is known in the dorm for her family name as well as skills, she has such a fast and nimble way of sewing using minimal amounts of magic. Not anyone can just replicate her dresses.
She has a lot of commissions in school and every single order has been made with plenty of care and caters to the customer’s taste always.
More often than not, Ella likes to discuss with the dorm students about the latest trends that the girls would keep their ears open whenever Ella gives fashion advice.
There were times that Ella would spend her downtime feeding her mice and other wild animals to unwind. Sometimes even having a tea party consisting mainly of animals, it wasn’t odd to anyone who studies in DCA but to outsiders it may be weird.
The dorm students are quite protective of Ella and will not tolerate any disrespect, Ella has no idea how scary her dorm students get when there is an unpleasant person confronting her.
Ella has quite high grades due to the tutors her father hired. Though her worst subject is PE due to her lack of physical training as well as the fact due to the scars on her legs, she finds it difficult to keep up. She dislikes feeling sweaty after doing exercises, if it was yoga then she’d have no problem however.

School Relationships

Ella gets along with mostly everyone due to her sweet nature and the tendency to provide news on the latest trends. As a noble, she is also decent in academics, her best grades are on dance, music and sewing. PE is her worst subject as she always gets sore after just one class, she also feels uncomfortable when she reeks of sweat from the sun.

Evonie is a big sister figure to her with how she often helps her when she gets anxious or when a confrontation takes place but she was too scared to talk back. She admits that she envies Evonie a little bit with how strong she was along with other girls who aren’t dainty. She wonders if she can be strong like them if she could just get over her fears.

She admires Briar as she has never been face-to-face with a real princess before. Her regal air and beautiful visage prompts her to create inspiring outfits to one day be worn by royalty. Though she can’t help but notice the sorrow in Briar’s eyes which may be another factor as to why she feels a familiarity with her.

Cerule and Ella’s first meeting has her nearly fainting from excitement at the idea of meeting an actual mermaid. She’s read about them in storybooks but to see one in real life was way better. Cerule thinks Ella is pretty cute like a sea angel. Ella gets a lot of colored pearls and sea glass from Cerule after a dive for treasure.

Perrine won her over when Ella got a whiff of the smell of spices that was cooking in the campus cafeteria. Perrine and Allison’s desserts that are decorated to their tastes would always be a source of new ideas for Ella. She often takes pictures of their food before eating, she eats in small bites to savor the taste.

Bumpkin and Ella get along so well as fans of fashion, though Bumpkin is so adamant about ungodly amounts of glitter. Bumpkin’s form is from Ella’s doll she used to play with in her childhood. It always brought comfort to her during sad days. Bumpkin acts as a fairy godmother to Ella, always helping her out in her time of need and would fiercely protect her if anyone dares to make her cry.

Animal Companions

Mozza

The swiftest mouse who acts as the leader of the mouse group. He does all the talking and negotiating in mouse matters, he is the one who reports to Ella about the latest information and gossip.

Gouda

The food crazy mouse who is the chunkiest of them all. He tends to just lay in one place nibbling on cheese. Oftentimes Ella puts him in her pocket as he snoozes about. He is also quite cowardly, anything that resembles a cat and he freaks out and runs with speed that rivals Mozza’s.

Brie

The self proclaimed “pretty mouse” as she calls herself who hoards anything shiny. She is the one who assists Ella when she’s sewing the most. A mouse with an eye for detail. She likes riding in Ella’s pockets because dirt makes her fussy.

Parmes

The genius mouse who may seem plain but inside the mouse holes, but he has made layouts for the fastest routes to any place in the building. The inventions are made from lost things such as pins and buttons that are no longer needed among other things.

Pecorin

The youngest mouse of the group, she’s so small that other mice carry her around in a thimble basket made by Parmes. Ella is worried that the poor thing might get squished so she made a fluffy handbag to carry all five mice in. Pecorin is often found in a dollhouse just enjoying herself.

Dusty

Ella’s DCA steed, who is a Rocky Mountain breed. He is friendly and happy-go-lucky, sometimes distracted by shiny things if he sees one in the corner of his eye. He is skilled in doing tricks as well as carrying heavy loads.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Glacify” which allows her to make anything she wants shimmer like polished glass. No matter what object it is, she can make it shiny. This doesn’t work on living things, though it works on plants oddly.
This magic effect can last until 12 o’ clock, it doesn’t matter if it was AM or PM, and it always disappears when the clock strikes 12.
Ella often uses this to make her fashion presentation pretty but she mostly uses it on the accessories or the lighting mostly. Using it on the dress would be considered cheating in her eyes. Though the process of making the dress uses magic to be quick and efficient.

Familial Relationships

Gaspard Antoine Glaciel

A soft-hearted, humble man who has a hobby for aromatherapy and indoor gardening. He makes exquisite shoes that the locals sought after. His business was only known in the Glasswork Kingdom until he was finally taking the gamble to set up a shop outside of his home country. He doesn’t take business risks unless he’s convinced that there will be no losses.
He was devastated after his wife passed away, he married Lucille only because of a mutual benefit and affection wasn’t involved. He thought that she would benefit Ella since she worked as an educator.
He ended up filing a case against her when he found out she was abusing Ella under the guise of “tutoring”. He became more attentive to his daughter after the divorce, but his heart became closed off to any potential bachelorette for a long time until he met Claudette.

Emellette Glaciel

Ella’s birthmother, an adventurous woman who likes to hunt and go horseback riding. She proposed to Gaspard first, she was always such a bold woman. But Gaspard always loved that about her.
She was known for her beautifully crafted jewelry sets. She and her husband started the business selling their crafts and designs to the people in the kingdom.
She passed away due to an illness when Ella turned 7. Leaving a crafted jewelry set that is based on blue birds for Ella to wear when she turns 18 one day. Ella cherishes this jewelry set the most and makes sure to hide it from Lucille in a secret compartment.

Lucille Luciferia

Ella’s first stepmother who is vain and sought to climb the social ladder by any means necessary. She worked as an educator but was known to be very strict and harsh to students, this includes Ella. Every time Ella did a little thing wrong, she would get hit on the back of her legs with a riding crop. This resulted in Ella getting scars on her legs with how hard she was struck.
She has no shame in wearing jewelry that was owned by Gaspard’s first wife, flaunting it, and being boastful to people whenever they go to gatherings. Pretending to be nice whenever Gaspard was in the house and when he leaves, she drops her façade and torments the servants in the household.
Lucille plays ignorant to her sons’ bullying of Ella, and even tells her that her father won’t believe her if she tries to tattle on them. She ended up being socially disgraced and had to live in her relative’s house along with her sons because she was also fired from the school she works at.

Edwin Luciferia

An egoistic young man who constantly picks on Ella by playing malicious pranks as well as destroying her possessions. He is also narcissistic, he views himself as the best but has an ego as fragile as glass. When someone is better than him or tries to call him out on his bluff, he will retaliate by berating them or even resorting to violence.
He abuses his status as a noble to get what he wants, he is not above lying about people who dares to defy him. As such, his classmates avoid him.
He used to have a group of students at his beck and call, they stuck around mostly because of his status and the wealth of his stepfather. But now that his mother was fired, he was left behind by his so-called “loyal followers”. He’s become more aggressive but those who he picked on now gossip about him. To the point where they do it in earshot.

Roman Luciferia

The quiet young man who has a calculating gaze and sharp tongue. His bullying tactics are harsh words he hurls towards Ella. Although the true reason as to why he picks on her is so that Edwin doesn’t make him his next target of harassment, so his situation is mainly a target directing the negativity onto someone weaker.
However, it doesn’t mean that he isn’t at fault. At school, he was always harsh to those who are below him concerning academics. He thinks of himself as a genius unlike his bonehead brother. But after the divorce of his mother and stepfather, he is struggling to keep up academics now that he took Ella’s place as Edwin’s punching bag.

Claudette Darlington

Ella’s second stepmother who got married to Gaspard after they fell for each other after being business partners for a while. She works in the tea business, selling an assortment of tea leaves and tea sets. She is a professional in her career but she is also a patient mother. She doesn’t force Ella to trust her since she can tell that the trauma still affects her. She gives Ella her space and time to adjust until she can finally open up to her.
Gaspard at first was professional towards Claudette, slowly she started to notice how stressed he was and offered some tea to help him. She respected their professional relationship and has heard of the incident that took place years before.
The first time she met Ella was when he had her over to discuss business, she was cautious and took note of her movements so as not to startle the poor child. Ella warmed up to Claudette when she asked about her mother.
She didn’t expect Gaspard to propose to her but at first she told him to talk this out with Ella because her opinion should also be considered.

Chapter Text

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (180)
Allison Liddel (アリソン・リデル, Arison Rideru) is the dorm leader of Futterwacken. She is a rebellious girl with a whole lot of spunk, but she’s also very curious and loves to explore.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Allison was born and raised in the Kingdom of Gardenia, being the daughter of Lewis Liddel and his wife, as well as being the elder twin sister of Maddison Liddel.
At some point during Allison’s life, her parents divorced and Lewis took custody of both her and Maddison. Ever since then, Lewis has been constantly peer pressuring them into acting like noblewomen in the hopes of getting them to marry men of noble status in order to boost his own ego and climb the social ladder.

Personality

Curious yet spunky, Allison is a mischief maker at heart. The rebellious spirit in her comes from her hatred for her father’s peer pressuring nature and this rebellious spirit causes her to reject anything feminine, but she’s comfortable wearing dresses if they aren’t too fancy. She also has a love for exploring, which can sometimes lead to trouble.

Appearance

Allison is a girl of average height in her mid-teens. She has fair skin, turquoise colored eyes and short reddish pink, almost watermelon pink hair with side swept bangs parted to the left side of her head and the tips of her hair being flipped.

Relationships

Family

Allison has a negative relationship with her father, who constantly tries to peer pressure her and Maddison to act like proper high class ladies and likely get them to marry into nobility so that he can boost his social status.
Allison’s relationship with Maddison and her mother were more positive. Prior to her parents divorce, her mom would read them stories and nursery rhymes and it’s likely she didn’t try to peer pressure them like their father did. While Maddison is more quiet and reserved, she does care about Allison and also dislikes her father’s egotistical nature.

Pet

Allison has a pet hare named Tock. He’s NOT a rabbit cause hares are bigger and could match her pace. Also it won’t hesitate to use the magic doorway while most animals would be scared to go in.

Fellow Students

It’s likely that because of her easygoing and social nature, Allison has a lot of mutuals. Though she is shown to get on Evonie’s nerves on occasion.

Night Raven College Students

Riddle thinks that she’s strange and would be a troublemaker with how often she accidentally ends up in NRC through the magic doors. There have been times where he is tempted to use Off With Your Head on her sometimes because she can be annoying at times. And he thinks the dorm she runs is more chaotic than Heartslabyul. The one thing he likes about her is that the tea and food art is decent enough and he liked the singing flowers.

Ace finds Allison fun to be around. These two are the double trouble doing reckless stuff and exchanging memes at 3 am. They have a lot of inside jokes that people won’t get but them.

Deuce is the mediator but if he gets into a fight Allison would bring the popcorn and watch on the sidelines. But he thinks she’s a fun person to be around, albeit maybe the spunky energy just makes him want to do something reckless too.

Trey tries to keep her out of trouble. He’s the official mediator because Deuce does a crappy job. He knows she is probably a sweet girl but he just needs her to calm tf down. He can’t catch up with all that energy. Though he appreciates her skills in food art and would like to hold a baking session and serve it at the next unbirthday party.

Cater recognizes her as the user who posts food art on MagiCam. Instant social media friends. He’s a big fan of her work and he will try to ask her what else she can turn a cake into. A teapot, a pile of books, a rose there are so many things she can replicate with cake batter and frosting.

Vil isn’t very fond of her. She does what she pleases and has corrupted the first year he was currently training, Epel. He just looks at her like a disappointed mother whenever she shows up. Allison ain’t warming up to him either. She once told Epel that anymore make up and his face will become literal cake. Which made Epel choke on the apple he was eating. Also she thinks Vil is Highness in human form.

Allison would definitely urge Epel to go feral and she’s taking photos to remember this historical moments. She’s made an album all about him. Titled “The Documentaries of a Feral-Almost-French Boy”. Epel has an enabler and you can’t deny that. Also there can be moments these two don’t cause a mess, Allison and him making apple treats and leave cakes that look like vases around Pomefiore.

Ever since Rook took the spotlight when he visited the theater club in DCA, Allison has been bitter about how he’d play a better male lead than her. She sees him as his rival for “prince charming”. Rook on the other hand plays along and does everything to fluster her which infuriates her even more.

Idia doesn’t want to be near her because she’s on the same list as the bright and optimistic people that could blind him. If anything at least he’s glad Ortho found a friend in her but don’t try to drag him along. Her energy is a terrible matchup against Idia’s introvert spirit. She once used her unique magic to teleport into his room and he screamed bloody murder and chucked a controller at her direction.

Ortho being a kid and Allison being a kid at heart she’d play a lot of weird but fun games with him like hide and seek where he has to guess which door she went through and all. Those two have a secret handshake and probably have a treehouse somewhere. Ortho is curious so he’d want to know what Allison will do next. She’s unpredictable even to his calculations.

2024 Biography

Personality

Allison is free-spirited and tends to do things her way and her way only. She would ignore anything that dares ruin her fun by using her UM to go somewhere else. She is quite energetic and active, doesn’t care about maintaining appearances if it means she can have fun.
She would even agree to stupid ideas even if all she got from it was a broken arm. She’d laugh off the memories of her stumbling into a pit or tripping over roots.
She has the habit of snacking every minute on anything she can get her hands on. Because of this, she often has a drawer full of snacks and sweets.
She doesn’t take kindly to insults and can be quite petty and stubborn, asking for forgiveness might take a while to convince her to forgive the offender. But she would feel guilty if she was told of the circumstance and it will then be easier to forgive.
Allison tends to play pranks, though she does forget that there are people who find it annoying and might irritate the wrong person or she might go overboard. But she will apologize for the prank if the person told her about how they felt.
Though she tends to be labeled as the rebellious child, she does this because she is sick and frustrated of the adults who expect her to be proper and are constantly nagging at her. The more they tell her she’s not proper, the more she rebels. Even if it got her grounded or punished by her father. She makes it clear on who she likes or dislikes.
Though she has a tough exterior, deep down, Allison feels the pressure from expectations and the desire to live with her mother instead. Only Maddison has seen her vulnerable side.

Pre DCA Life

Allison’s early years were tolerable because she and her twin sister, Maddison, had their mother to comfort them when their father scolds them. But when their parents got a divorce and their mother lost custody of her children due to the father having more influence and pulled strings to win the court case.
Though Allison didn’t get why mother and father divorced, it was clear that the reason they split up is due to their father’s side of the family disliking the mother. At the age of 6, they were now left to be raised by their social climbing father.
Life afterwards was unbearable for the twins, no more bedtime stories as the books full of nursery rhymes were replaced with textbooks, boring and no pictures. Nannies were replaced with tutors who were eager to please their father and thus were quite strict in teaching. Allison gets more punishments than Maddison due to her stubborn nature.
Ever since then, at any chance she can get, Allison would terrorize her tutors and they would all end up quitting within a week. The punishments from father were worth it if it meant she didn’t have to sit through class with such tutors. That is until a certain tutor who understands her behavior, came to their house to be a tutor. That tutor was a great man until her father decided to dismiss him when he caught the girls having fun during free period.
She would argue with her father about what he thinks will befall his reputation should she continue to act this way.

Childhood

Allison remembers a lot about how her mother always let her and Maddison have fun and even tell those fun bedtime stories. Their mother was their tutor and her method of teaching was a balance of fun and professional. Allison was never bored because her mother would always answer her questions.
She was taught how to bake from her mother, she first made bunny cookies and often had tea time with Maddison and their mother. She dreams about owning a cute cafĂŠ based on the nursery rhymes she loves so much.
After the divorce, when her father made the decision to remove most of the children’s books from the house, Allison hid one book from her father, the one about the oysters and the walrus. She hid it in her undergarment drawer because who on earth would rummage a girl’s drawer full of underwear?
Maddison got her Unique Magic first and Allison always admired it but after the divorce, Maddison doesn’t want to show it off, even to her anymore. She respects her wishes and blames her father for Maddison’s ruined Unique Magic.
The first time Allison rebelled against a tutor was when they struck Maddison so hard that she ended up crying, the jerk wouldn’t stop even if the child was in tears. Allison remembers stuffing frogs in their suitcase and putting bog water into their tea.
There was this one tutor that made her realize that not all adults were like her father and gave her a small hope of one day getting away from her father. Her resentment for her father grew when the tutor was dismissed all because he thought they could use a break.

Academic History at DCA

Allison is a 2nd year Futterwacken student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
Allison is a professional on making food art, many students recognize her magicam and were stunned to find out she was the one who is behind that username. She is able to make a huge variety of designs in a short amount of time. Which is why when she throws a party, students look forward to what kind of sweets she’ll make sculptures of. There will be time that she can make food look like objects, poor Ella has grabbed too many teacups that were actually cake.
She didn’t expect to be dorm leader and wanted to reject it at first but then when the dorm fairy, Sui informed her that being a dorm leader of Futterwacken is fun, she gave it a try. Allison loved how the dorm has so many oddities that were reminiscent of her old childhood books.
Allison managed to ease into her role as Futterwacken’s dorm leader. She looks forward to planning the tea party every Hatter-day, recalling how thrilling it was to chase down a walrus with a rubber hammer and singing with teapots and flowers. Although, despite being the planner of tea parties, Allison prefers pink lemonade over tea because she likes drinks that are cold and refreshing, though she won’t say no to milk tea.
There was one incident where she made a fake princess out of metal buckets that she called “Tintina”. She would often use it to practice her roles and for some reason it became a cryptid. Often seen at random places in Futterwacken even if Allison wasn’t in the dorm. New students were spooked out about Tintina but overtime they learned to just treat her like the teapots in the dorm.
Allison didn’t act rebellious to her teachers at all, their lessons were all interesting and they didn’t give off the snarky vibe like her last tutors she terrorized. She has been more active in her academics, she even joined a theater club and played plenty of male lead roles. A lot of girls were gushing about how she pulled off the “prince charming” look.
Allison’s grades are decently average and the ones she is interested in are higher than the average grades. If there are events that count as a part of a grade, as long as it wasn’t a boring ball, Allison would pitch in and do her best.

School Relationships

Allison gets along with Perrine and Cerule a lot, Perrine cooks a lot of delicious food and often tries the weird combinations she makes. The two can be seen scheming on what kind of mystery food they should try doing. Though the results of that are a 50/50 chance of the combination working or not.

Cerule fascinates Allison because she is a mermaid and she admits to having a mermaid phase in her childhood. Though she would scrunch up her nose whenever the naĂŻve mermaid would suggest that microwaves count as cooking. This would result in a debate that led to nowhere every time.

Evonie is Allison’s favorite person to annoy, she was always such a stickler for staying in line and being such a girl scout. Though during play rehearsals, they can be a great duo. The students’ hearts are fluttering with how they play their roles so perfectly.

Allison and Sui’s relationship is akin to two troublemakers. Sui is very child-like in personality and therefore likes to do everything the fun way. She will also throw tantrums when upset, when this happens the dorm starts to shake as if an earthquake struck. Sui’s form is from Allison’s memory of the story about the oysters her mother used to read to her. Sui is considered to be the baby amongst the other fairies but that doesn’t mean she has her mature moments too. She knows to apologize if she did anything wrong or went too far.

Animal Companion

Tock

Allison has a pet hare named Tock, he has an English Spot pattern with a bunch of card suits replacing the usual spots.
The reason why she calls him “Tock”, is because he has this tendency to mimic clock chimes from time to time to remind her that he needs snacks. It didn’t help that his ear tips were pointed and made the clock image more vivid.
Tock is just like Allison in terms of being a prankster, though she gets irritated and chases him around when he sneaks into her snack drawer and steals a treat or two, despite the fact that he has his own jar of cookies that Allison fills up with baked goods she personally made.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Enchanted Doorways” which allows her to summon a door to take her to places she visited last. The door can remain for as long as a few minutes before disappearing, she can also make it vanish instantly but she only does this when she wants to run away from her household.
She mostly uses her Unique Magic to quickly travel, she can also bring along a person to go through the doors but first timers would be dizzy and maybe nauseous afterwards.
Allison is rather skilled in utilizing low spells for pranks, though this can also be quite useful in tripping over opponents in magift.

Familial Relationships

Lewis Liddel

Allison’s father who is tired of being at the bottom of social circles so he becomes strict towards his daughters to make them behave, so he can look more superior in order to climb the social ladder. He also handles a business that he boasts about and praises it.

Allison and Maddison’s mother, Lewis’ ex-wife. She was in an arranged marriage with Lewis, and only tolerated his narcissism up to this point until he let his family badmouth her for letting her daughter be children for once.

Maddison Liddel

Allison’s twin sister who is more quiet and reserved but she uses her cleverness to make those who pick on her look bad. She cares about Allison and agrees that her father is a bit of a narcissist and needs to either stop chasing approval or he’s gonna ruin himself. She isn’t above doing the same verbal beat down to her dad, but only when she knows he won’t ground her.

Chapter Text

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (187)
Briar Auroria (ブライアー・オーロリア, Buraiā Ōroria) is the dorm leader of Rosadormienti. A half-human, half-fairy hybrid who possesses powerful magic but is neglected by her family, especially her father.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Briar was born and raised in the Slumbering Willows. She was born an illegitimate child to the late Amare Casia, a mortal woman and Roland Stephan Auroria, a powerful pure-blood fairy who’s the monarch of the Slumbering Willows. Amare died in childbirth, leaving Briar in Roland’s care. Roland felt guilty for leaving Amare to suffer all alone, however due to the pressures of tradition and fear of losing the respect of his people, he allowed fear to blind him, which lead to him neglecting Briar. While he does provide her with caretakers and tutors and even allows her to roam the palace’s exterior, he never contributed to anything nor does he attempt to defend her when the nobles gossip about her.
Two years after taking Briar in, Roland remarried Eletha Lilith, which in turn resulted in her son, Aurus becoming a prince and moreover, the crown prince due to being a pure-blood fairy. Eletha is very strict on keeping traditional beliefs and constantly reminds the king about the importance of keeping to the same group and upholding the tradition of pure bloods belong with other purebloods while half-bloods belong with other half-bloods. She additionally makes sure to keep Briar away from her son, while she doesn’t outright bully her; she just blatantly ignores her like the other pure blood fairies do. Aurus follows in his mother’s guidance and ignores Briar, though he wonders why his father bothered to keep her in the palace at all. Due to this neglect, Briar felt unwanted and unloved.
At some point during her childhood, Briar was waiting for her carriage to bring her to the palace on a stormy night, however the carriage never showed up, which resulted in her catching a cold. Fortunately for her, a fox beastwoman saw her and rushed to her aid, this woman’s name was Yolanda Foxtwill. Yolanda offered her shelter in her home until she could recover and was in shock when the royal guards arrived at her home, which resulted in her realizing that Briar was royalty, but fortunately for the Foxtwill Family, Briar protected them from punishment. Since meeting Briar, the Foxtwill family happily welcome her to reside with them when the palace becomes unbearable to her.

Personality

Prior to meeting the Foxtwill Family, Briar was very recluse and depressed, due to growing up in an environment where she was belittled and neglected. Due to Aurus reviving all of the praise from their family and people, Briar feels somewhat envious since he’s praised for being a pure-blood while she’s treated poorly for being a half-blood.
After being befriended by Foxtwill Family, Briar became more sociable and with the majority of her time spent around commoners, began to use her education for their benefit in the limited power she has. She’s helpful and more open with ideas, if there is a way to solve the problem she will let people know.

For her idol performances, Briar has a voice fit for acapella, able to make sounds. Her voice is described to be so gentle and alluring that even animals would gather around her.
For her choreography, Briar is surprisingly an energetic dancer who can do complicated footwork. Though she prefers interpretive dance since it keeps her from getting exhausted.

Relationships

Family

Briar doesn’t appear to have a relationship with her family at all, given that they ignore her. Her family caretakers and servants even speak poorly of her behind her back.

Briar’s relationship with the Foxtwill Family is the complete opposite of her relationship with her own family. Yolanda and her husband, Ash treat her like their own daughter, with the former believing that she would be a better monarch than the narrow-minded royals and the latter being there to comfort and encourage her in times of need. Oliver, the eldest child, joked about placing a live silkworm into the King’s pants to teach him a lesson while the youngest Olivia admires Briar due to her being royalty. She loves to play dress up and shows Briar all the dresses she will wear when she marries a kind-hearted prince.

Pet

Briar has a pet baby dragon named Gula, who is described as being black and chubby. He likes to sleep in vacant pots and eat the coals in the fireplace. On cold nights the students would let him light up the fireplace. Gula is an actual monster, and him being so tame is another reason for Briar’s popularity. He likes to cuddle with Briar and play with her hair curls and sometimes laid down on them because it was so soft. Gula serves as the guard dog of the dorm living quarters, though quite small and plump. Due to his deadly flames and powerful bite, he is a force to be reckoned with.

Fellow Students

Briar is praised, admired and respected by her fellow students, and many aspire to be like her. She often acts like a mentor to her peers, as shown when she offers to assist Elu with dining manners.

Diamond Crown Academy Staff

Briar is the top student of DCA so basically she is the pride of the staff. But the fairy brothers are most fond of Briar because of how she seems so perfect.

But one observation with the Three Fairy Brothers changed the student teacher relationship into a family kind of relationship.

Florence often talks to her when he sees her in the hallway about how she should learn to love herself and not cling to people who don’t see her as she is. Florence is avidly praising her but he doesn’t do it extravagantly, he does it in a gentle tone that makes Briar break her mask. Asher was right on his guess that Briar was the best because there must be a reason.

Faustus doesn’t have much to give other than his music since he can’t give good advice. But his music often touches the hearts of many. Briar feels calm during his classes.

Asher being the kind of teacher who can see telltale signs in a student, noticed how she grows somber at the mention of home. He can piece together what her home life is like. He’s the one who subtly signals his two brothers that Briar has something that was anchoring her.

Night Raven College Students

Riddle knowing that Briar is of a higher nobility rank than he is would be very gentlemanly and respectful towards her. She would like to dote on him because he’s small but she holds herself back knowing he’s capable. But she does give him praise for his accomplishments which makes him bashfully red.

Leona can understand the plight of being under someone’s shadow. For him it was his elder brother, for Briar it was her young step brother. Both would know what it was like to be treated differently. Though she and Leona would just be allies regarding family problems. He’s still respectful to her as she is to him.

Azul gets intel on her plights and will make attempts to offer contracts of course. But Briar would be the few who would reject the offer, which takes Azul by surprise. Almost no one was able to resist making a contract with him. Briar would definitely dote on him since she can sense that he still holds some insecurities. There was something about Azul that made her want to treat him like one of her juniors. Azul is flustered but still tries to maintain composure.

Vil being the queen of a man knows she’s royalty. Any friend of Ella’s is a friend of his. Briar would be envious of how confident he is, she couldn’t even muster up the courage to look confident during formal events in her kingdom. Vil will have to drag her through a pep talk since beauty can only bloom through self confidence. He’s a strict mentor but Briar appreciates it, it was way better than the disdain her personal tutors gave her. She preferred his blunt honesty rather than fake compliments. Wants to invite her to makeover slumber parties. Vil just loves her hair, it’s so soft and he wants to know what product she uses.

Briar is one of the few who isn’t bothered by Rook. But she wonders how much free time he has to observe other people, she’ll never know. Some point she ends up picking out leaves and twigs out of his clothes and hair while they’re talking and Rook just appreciates it, mother instincts cannot be ignored. Rook thinks that Briar is a golden butterfly and would of course do the usual complimenting the unique beauty that he’s observed from her. All in all they’re casual and quite friendly with each other.

2024 Biography

Personality

Briar is compassionate but can also be a leader type of person. She is skilled in a lot of subjects that it almost looks effortless, she appreciates the praise she gets but in return she also uses her skills to help out other people. She is seen as a person worthy of respect by a lot of people.
Very open-minded and would not shun anyone regardless of their background because she knows how it feels. Her motherly attitude stems from her lack of a mother figure in a portion of her life.
However, she tends to try too hard even if she is exhausted. She tries to be her best for her father and even goes out of her way to try and bond with him a little even if it was fruitless in the end. She tends to be affection-starved and anyone who is close to her can tell, she feels proud when she is given praise.
Briar can maintain her composure even if nobles whisper behind her back, she can very much handle herself by keeping a stoic mask. But there have been times it tends to crumble and she would have a breakdown in her room where no one would hear her.

Pre DCA Life

Briar’s mother passed away after giving birth, the old lady who was a neighbor of the mother took care of Briar a few days before Roland came and adopted Briar. Briar grew up not knowing the warmth of a parent as the king was always busy and even if he had time, he didn’t want to upset the nobles.
Though he did provide Briar with tutors, servants and expensive gifts but as if that made her feel any better when the tutors and servants who grew up in a certain mindset would talk behind her back or look at her as if she’s done a heinous crime.
It didn’t help that her stepmother and stepbrother often had to scold her for trying to bother the king even though all she wanted was to at least greet him. She was reminded of a cruel social rule amongst the pure blood nobles “stick to your own kind”.
Ever since, Briar has tried to try and give off the proper royal image to show them that she can be just as good as they claim to be, if her father acknowledges her then they will realize it too.
At first, she tends to stress herself out and didn’t even smile genuinely until the incident that led her to meet the Foxtwill family that she started to at least feel affection for the first time. She then started to hang around the palace less often unless there was an event or ball scheduled.
Briar has gained a good reputation amongst the commoners who are made up of different races. She put all her effort and authority as a royal on improving the lifestyle and economy of the commoners. She at least has this permission and there would be no one who would stop her from doing so as she was still performing her duties.

Childhood

Briar’s most vivid childhood memories in the palace were all sad and lonely. The most painful memory was when she was expecting her father to plan a birthday ball for her just like he would for Aurus. However, she wasn’t even greeted with a “Happy Birthday”, there was no ball held and even if there was, it wasn’t about Briar.
Though she learned to stop expecting a birthday party for her, it still hurt her feelings every time. That is to say, when she spent her birthday with the Foxtwills during the time when there wasn’t an event at the palace, she decided to go see the Foxtwills who surprised her with a cake and handmade gifts.
She cried that day, out of happiness and sadness. Happy that she had people that care about her but also sad because why couldn’t her father do something this small for her? She would’ve been happy with just a greeting.
Her next memory was when she first met Gula, taking home the egg and eagerly waiting for the day it hatched made her feel a lot of emotions. The moment her eyes looked upon the hatchling’s gaze, she felt like there was a true companion with her and would be loyal to her.

Academic History at DCA

Briar is a 3rd Year Rosadormienti student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
She is known as the strongest student in the whole academy as well as the top student. Many admire her and are inspired to work hard. Briar is always humble and wouldn’t make comments if a student was falling behind on studies, there would be study groups from time to time and the ones with the highest grades would tutor the ones who need the support.
Briar also excels at magical spells, those who competed against DCA were said to feel frustrated that they couldn’t get past Briar’s defense. There were some rumors about her facing off against Malleus Draconia during a magift tournament one time, which was true that the two were powerhouses during the match. Briar only lost because she exhausted herself and Malleus took the opportunity to defeat her team.
On the outside, people praise her for being a top mage in her school but the school knows her as a reliable “mom friend” who has the tendency to sleep in a lot of weird places. There were times her friends spotted her sleeping in places that aren’t supposed to be slept in. No one knows why she ends up there and Briar doesn’t even know either.

School Relationships

Briar used to be a little distant when she attended the school but over time she got close with a handful of students. Such as Evonie, Vidya, Ella and Perrine.

Evonie and Vidya’s confident and strong personalities as well as rivalry were a shock to her. But then they sparked a competitive drive in her and made her feel included. For once, she was allowed to act how she wanted with no one to criticize her.

Ella’s fascination for Briar’s beauty and lineage reminded her of the young Foxtwill children. And Ella always was very sweet to her, it was like the sibling that she wished Aurus was. Yes, even though she envied him, a part of her wished he would at least try to get to know her.

Perrine somehow seemed to see through the mask of regality that Briar wears, she has met a few people who can read her like a book but Perrine was the first to talk to her about it. She told her words that she wanted to hear all this time.

Briar’s relationship with Willow is more on the former seeking guidance in the latter. Willow’s form is from Briar’s need for a voice to tell her that she is enough and she is noticed. Willow feels sad for her charge not being able to have a happy memory with her family. But as much as she wants to yell an earful at Briar's father, she can’t because this matter needs to be handled by Briar when the time comes. So, she becomes the conscience that always tells Briar positive things to help her self-esteem.

Animal Companions

Gula

Briar has a black dragon named Gula. He was found as an egg when Briar almost went missing during a hunting party for the nobility, not like anyone would care though. She had to beg in front of her father to let her keep it until he reluctantly agreed, but only under the condition that she had to promise that there wouldn’t be any problems with whatever hatched out of it. Briar kept her word and took good care of the egg until it hatched.
Gula became protective of Briar and wouldn’t listen to anyone other than her. His species of dragon is classified as a mix between a toad and a volcanic dragon. It was only until she read a book about dragons that she realized that his species were known for being aggressive and a danger if approached, they also loved to ingest ore due to their stomachs being able to melt even iron.
But Gula is such a baby who would follow her around and scare away the servant who even comes a foot closer to them. Briar often kept Gula in her room and fed him quality ore, though bathing was a bit difficult, Gula hates bathing and is the only time he would try to avoid Briar. She thinks he’s such a child for not wanting to bathe.
Gula has the ability to eat rocks and spew them out as green, flaming orbs. He also can lift five times his own weight. He also is surprisingly a fast flyer despite the chubby body.

Lusio

An Arabian horse that Briar purchased at an event once. He is a proud horse who may come off as arrogant at first. He cares a lot about winning and will whine about losing, Briar has to comfort him if they ever lose, which rarely happens. Lusio is skilled in many horse contest categories but he is known for racing the most.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Three Gifts”. She can use three elements and even combine them for a more powerful spell. Though this would tire her out quite a lot due to her being only a half-blood.
Apart from her Unique Magic, she specializes in healing magic and spells that manipulate nature to an extent which is considered an incredible feat. She would have been recognized as one of the top mages if the nobles weren’t pushing her younger brother to the international public while they kept her in the dark.

Familial Relationships

Roland Stephan Auroria

Briar’s father and the fairy king of the Slumbering Willows who loved a human woman. After losing his lover when she gave birth to Briar, he kept her at the palace but due to the pressures of tradition as well as the guilt of leaving the one he loved to die alone, he let his fear overcome him leading him to ignore Briar so as not to lose the respect and praise of the nobles.
He does provide her with servants and tutors and even allows her to roam outside, at least up to the limitations placed on a royal. But other than that he hasn’t contributed to anything nor tried to defend her when the nobles gossip about her.
His relationship with Eletha was merely political and he can’t really stand up to her whenever she reminds him to keep to traditions. He was a coward with no courage to even stand for his own opinions.

Eletha Lilith Auroria

Briar’s step mother, Roland’s second wife and Aurus’ mother. She is very strict on keeping traditional beliefs and makes sure to keep Briar away from the prince. Constantly reminding the king about the importance of keeping to the same group and upholding the tradition of pure bloods belong with other purebloods while half-bloods belong with other half-bloods.
She doesn’t outright bully her; she just blatantly ignores her like the other pure blood fairies do. Though she is taking proper care of Aurus, she only wants him to look good in front of the nobles to the point where she would do a lot of events that will give him a good reputation even if it wasn’t his own contribution.

Aurus Gladio Auroria

Eletha’s son, Roland’s step son and Briar’s younger step brother. He is the heir to the throne because he is the only child in the family who is a pure blood fairy. He follows in his mother’s guidance and ignores Briar, though he wonders why his father bothered to keep her in the palace at all. He never got to know Briar and sometimes catches a glimpse of her wandering the palace gardens.
He is easily swayed by nobles and would often be led to believe that he is the best and the most brilliant even though he tends to skip lessons to play outside, not like his parents or tutors would scold him for it. Thus, he ends up becoming naĂŻve with no idea what to do without any guidance of some sort.

Amare Casia

Briar’s mother and Roland’s first love. She was a commoner and a human with merely just a flower shop to her name, she met the fairy king who was wounded in her garden after he was careless and was thrown off his horse.
She brought him into her house to help him recover, he fell for her the moment his eyes met hers. Even after he recovered he continued to visit her until it was one night they spent together that led to her pregnancy.
He was petrified at what the council might say so he asked her to keep quiet which she reluctantly agreed to. Amare started to regret her naĂŻve romance with Roland as she spent those nine months alone with only her old lady neighbor as her support.
She passed away after giving birth to Briar and she was left to be taken care of by the neighbor who now occupied the old flower shop. It was when the king returned he found out what happened, out of guilt he took Briar to his castle. Briar’s looks resemble her mother’s so much that the king can’t help but remember the woman he left to suffer all alone.

Yolanda Foxtwill

A fox beastwoman who married a half fairy. The seamstress of the Tailor Shop that is a family-run business. She saw Briar all soaked in the rain when the carriage that was supposed to take her back to the palace, didn’t arrive. The poor child caught a cold while standing outside and Yolanda offered to keep her in the house until she feels better.
When the royal guards knocked on their door, they were shocked when she realized that the child in her house was a princess. Briar reassures them that they are safe from any supposed punishment. Yolanda reached out to Briar because she saw the sorrow in her eyes.
And from then on, Yolanda welcomes Briar to live with them when the palace gets unbearable to her. Outright thinks she is better suited to be queen instead of the narrow-minded royals.

Ash Foxtwill

Yolanda’s husband, who delivers the clothes and fabrics made by his wife. He is a buff man who is half fairy and married a fox beast woman. He loves his wife and he treats Briar like his own daughter.
He can’t hide his excitement whenever Briar had time to bring Gula along, he’s always had a soft spot for animals. For some odd reason, Briar is approached by a lot of animals which is a heaven for the buff man.
A big softie who comforts Briar and was the only father figure who gave her the encouragement she needed to hear, he will enthusiastically proclaim that Briar is the image of how royals should be. He is in charge of making corsages that are cute and popular among the other villagers.

Oliver Foxtwill

The eldest son takes care of silkworms that make the materials for the cloth. He is a skilled weaver and has a soft spot for silkworms, he once tried to convince others how cool silkworms are but that didn’t go well.
He once mentioned sneaking a live silkworm into the King’s pants to teach him a lesson, Briar hopes he’s joking. He respects Briar a lot after she helped out the commoners despite how nobles talk behind her back.

Olivia Foxtwill

The youngest daughter who admires Briar because she is an actual princess. She loves to play dress up and shows Briar all the dresses she will wear when she marries a prince. She has the typical girly personality and dislikes getting dirty.
Briar tends to spoil Olivia a bit by sending her dresses she sewed herself. Olivia wishes that she would have Briar as an older sister. You would think that she would also want Briar to marry a prince but due to how disrespectful the nobles were known to be, she claims that she will be the judge of who Briar’s suitor is.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Briar” is derived from the name the three fairies used to hide Aurora’s identity, while her last name “Auroria” is just Aurora with rearrangements on the letters.
• Briar is the one with the most detailed backstory mainly because Sleeping Beauty was one of the films Phoenix watched the most alongside Cinderella.
• The concept of Briar’s unfortunate home life came from the idea of her being half-fairy. Phoenix thought it would be boring if she seemed too perfect and that she could come off as a Mary Sue. She thought that there should be conflict regarding Briar and flaws.
• Her character design is close to the original Disney princess she is based on with a few differences, mainly her hair style lacking the curled bangs that Aurora has.

Chapter Text

The Diamond Crown Academy Guide - QueenSharotto (195)
Cerule Oceana (セルール・オセアナ, Serūru Oseana) is the dorm leader of Coquille. She is an oarfish mermaid and is the daughter of the Serpent King, ruler of the Serpent Sea. She desires independence and has a love of collecting shiny things.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Cerule was born and raised in the Serpent Sea and is the only daughter of Charbyss and Caeta Oceana, the King and Queen of the Serpent Sea.
Due to being serpent royalty, Cerule was tutored by adults who didn’t know much about the concept of fun and Cerule desperately wanted friends, but due to her father’s reputation, people were too afraid to even approach or befriend her.
While accompanying her father during his visit to the Coral Sea, Cerule met and befriended Azul Ashengrotto, as well as his friends, The Leech Twins, Floyd and Jade, with the former of the twins she enjoyed engaging in conversations with the most. While the three were giving Cerule a tour of the Coral Sea, Floyd suggested that they explore a shipwreck and Cerule, though reluctant at first, agreed to sneak off with him upon the mention of treasure.
While exploring the ship, Cerule laments over her fathers overprotective nature and bonded with Floyd. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst when Floyd’s tail was stuck in a fish net and after Cerule aided him in getting free, they realized that they accidentally lured a shark into the area, which resulted in the two proceeding to escape. Cerule pushed Floyd into some seaweed to save him, but this resulted in her leaving herself vulnerable to the shark’s tackle, which sent her flying towards some rocks and in the process knocking the daylights out of her. As the shark taunted Cerule by swimming toward her slowly, Floyd proceeded to throw a rock at it and mock it to keep it distracted. Upon Azul and Jade’s arrival, Jade began panicking since he knew Floyd wouldn’t be able to distract the shark forever, and unfortunately Floyd eventually got tired and failed to notice that he was swimming near a bed of sea kelp which tangled his tail. Fortunately for him, the shark’s side was pierced by a large pointed rock, which temporarily paralyzed it, thanks to Cerule. This in turn bought Cerule time to free Floyd and fast since the shark was shaking to regain consciousness, but luckily for them Azul managed to spray a cloud of ink on the shark and thus managed to free Floyd.
After successfully escaping, Azul angrily scolded the two for wandering off, Cerule apologized and this resulted in her tearing up. Cerule’s crying resulted in Azul laughing, which was quickly interrupted when Floyd started to cry in pain. As it turns out, Floyd had a large cut on his tail while his injury was beginning to sting due to the saltwater seeping around them. Cerule used her unique magic and Floyd’s injury was gone. After Cerule explained about what her unique magic does, Azul was shocked as it was rare to encounter people who had powerful healing magic as there were not many who possessed the ability to heal, this in turn resulted in Azul’s annoyance and frustration turn into realization. Azul thought that this encounter was fate for him as he wanted to become a powerful individual like the sea witch, he wondered to what capabilities could those pearls possess and if he could use them to make a very rare potion that no one ever heard of. This was a golden opportunity for him. Azul and Cerule then make a deal, she would give him a bottle of the healing pearls in exchange for him and Jade’s permission to explore exciting places, under the condition that they all go together to ensure that an incident like this doesn’t happen again. After this deal, Cerule embraced him resulting in Azul’s face turning red after pushing her away. When it was time for Cerule to return home, she slipped a bottle of her healing pearls into his hands that were folded behind his back.
After Cerule and Azul returned to their respective homes, Azul hid the bottle in his bedroom drawer and started thinking back to the events that transpired them to become “friends”. He thought to himself that she was the one who said they were friends but she was just an opportunity he took advantage of.

Personality

Cerule is described as stubborn but free-spirited and is someone who can’t stand things she obviously despises. Throughout the course of her life, Cerule desperately wanted friends, so much so that she would be willing to be friends with anyone because her dad was always scaring them away. Initially, Cerule didn’t realize that people were using her for her status and exploiting her desire for friends. It was only after meeting and befriending Azul that she started to notice who’s merely interested in befriending her for her status.
Due to spending time with Floyd, she became more playful and mischievous.
Cerule harbors insecurities in regards to her long tail. In fact, part of why she hates social gatherings so much is because of her tail as due to its length it can knock and shove her surroundings unintentionally. Whenever she feels anxious or upset, she’ll coil like a snake and lay on the bottom to hide her upper body in her coiled tail.

Relationships

Family

Cerule has a good relationship with her parents but both have different ideas about Cerule’s future.

Charbyss cares very much for his daughter, he even allowed his daughter to swim around his leviathan form during childhood. However, because Cerule is his only child, he’s overprotective at times, He is just unable to accept that she’s growing up and would one day decide her own path but away from her parents’ side.

In contrast, Caeta gives Cerule a lot more freedom to explore and states that it would shape her to be a good ruler, keeping her sheltered won’t develop her skills and confidence as a ruler.

Pet

Cerule has a pet seal named Bobble and he is chubby and squishy. She named him Bobble because the way he bounces around on land makes her heart clench from the cuteness. Bobble sometimes goes treasure hunting with her out on the sea.

Fellow Students

Night Raven College Students

Azul has known Cerule since his elementary school days. She was the second royal he remembers visiting the school other than Prince Rielle. At first, he envied Cerule because compared to him, she was adored and admired by the merfolk while they looked at him in disgust. Azul’s opinion and views of her changed after she healed Floyd’s tail wound. It was then that he started to get along with her, but he was still the cunning person he is, so he befriended her for the sake of obtaining the pearls made from her tears. Currently, he thinks that Cerule hasn’t changed and just hopes that if she and Floyd ever hang out, either he or Jade won’t need to clean up trouble. He has a babysitter-like relationship with her and maybe he’d trick her into a contract if its just to stop her from doing something reckless. But knowing her home life, he won’t do that. He’s aware that it’ll upset her, so he just sends Jade to deal with the two.

Floyd was always interested in something that would catch his attention. And Cerule certainly did when she arrived in their class. Initially, he assumed she’d be the goody-two-shoes royal who would stay in line and obey the rules. But as soon as he realized she’s a bit wild and that set off a dynamic duo of trouble makers. He’s ecstatic that he has a friend that he can be reckless with, although they’d get scolded by Azul or Jade, he had Cerule to drag with him. Floyd is somewhat envious of Cerule’s ability to crush rocks with her tail and would try it himself for years. He’s only managed to break a small chunk but he won’t give up. He did get good at strangling though, that’s something he takes pride in. He likes to tease her a bit, like tugging on her tail or sometimes pulling her in the water when she’s on land. Sometimes he feels she’s like a sister he never knew he wanted. He would sneak under her coils because it was so comfy and he couldn’t help himself. Cerule just let it happen but she reminds him not to be rough in moving her tail because his nails are sharp as needles and it’s pierced her tail more than once.

Jade acts as an exasperated mother to Cerule. He feels like there are now two Floyds in his care. But Cerule can behave a bit unlike Floyd but he still thinks that they are eerily similar. He started a grounding method where if they are going to do something reckless he’d separate them for almost an hour before sternly reminding them that they better not go through with their schemes or else the both of them are getting wrung like rags. He does find it amusing at how hard she tries to be careful of her surroundings when she’s in her oarfish form. He’d tease her as revenge but he’ll word it in a way that Cerule knows exactly what he’s talking about. Jade is curious of the culture in her kingdom though, he would like to visit the Serpent Sea one day. Cerule was generous enough to send him some souvenirs from her kingdom. Most of them were unique colored shells and even some nice oyster pearls.

2024 Biography

Personality

She is a free-spirited mermaid who likes to learn more about people and worlds that are unknown to her. She won’t be afraid to ask questions and show her curiosity, in fact, she’s more daring and would not care about her surroundings which can be bad when she’s in an unsafe place in the ocean.
Cerule is unable to do well in mundane things that bore her, prompting her to run off and go do something fun. Even if it means she’d be scolded by her father.
Though she is classified as an herbivore serpent, closer to her mother’s side, she is still raised on the behavior of a carnivore serpent like her father. Which makes her a wildcard but unlike a certain eel that looks menacing from the start, Cerule looks almost harmless. Though her feral behavior is reserved for those who truly test her patience. Not a lot of students know but her close friends have seen her literally growl at people who push her limits.
Despite being able to fight well as a serpent, she is quite clumsy with her long tail which makes her flustered quite often than she would like. The twins wouldn’t let her live it down if they ever saw her bump into things.
Cerule would always try to understand new slangs in the human world though she mixes them up a lot, she still tries to keep up with the trends.
She absolutely adores cute things, she would drop what she was doing to just squish what she deemed “cute”. You would have to bargain hard to get her to let go.
She has the habit of humming when she’s transfixed on something, it would unintentionally put someone in a daze due to her powers as a serpent. Though her singing voice is considered beautiful, she can’t stand to perform all by herself.
Cerule has a stubborn personality like her father which tends to clash as the two would argue about certain perspectives while her mother has to play peacemaker between the two.

Pre DCA Life

Cerule’s home is known as the Serpent Sea, it is located in a deep trench where the light doesn’t reach. Going past the trench leads to a cave system that is difficult to maneuver around if one isn’t familiar with the area.
Many merfolk who have heard of the Serpent Sea know rumors and even legends about how the serpent merfolk were beings of power, and this leads to many being intimidated whenever there was a meeting that needed the leaders to meet up for discussions.
She was the only egg to be born between the royal serpent couple which was unusual as there should be multiple eggs. Hence why her father became overprotective to the point of it becoming overbearing. Her mother was thankfully not too overprotective unlike the father.
But life in the Serpent Sea was dangerous because of the rogue serpents who don’t ally themselves with the royals. There would be violent battles to either prove one’s strength or claim territory.
Cerule grew up mostly restricted to exploring the sea outside her home which made her fussy and bored. So, she developed a habit of sneaking out without anyone noticing most of the time. It was only until she was at middle school age that her mother finally convinced her father to at least take her to see the area outside.
That decision was how she met and became friends with a certain octopus and the twin eels. She continued to visit them now that she has her first friends that aren’t hesitant to hang out with her because of her father’s reputation. She can’t recall how many times her father has accidentally or purposely intimidated other serpent children who tried to befriend her.

Childhood

Cerule’s mother can remember that she almost lost her precious baby when a rogue serpent snuck in and tried to take the egg. Thankfully her husband was able to fend off the thief and retrieve the egg that suffered only a mere crack on the surface. But this was enough to put the two on high alert even after she was born. Hence why her father is always looming over Cerule even if he was being too much.
The first time she went out was to escort her father to see a different area of the sea which she marveled so much that she got carried away in doing something exciting before she went back home. This led her to the event where she became friends with Azul and the Leech twins. She would willingly get him the ingredients that can only be found in her home or in dangerous waters. Thanks to her serpent heritage, she is strong enough to hold her own against plenty of aggressive sea creatures.
When Cerule was summoned to attend DCA, she had to beg her mother to try her best to convince her father to let her attend. Not like he could say no to the queen, this was a good opportunity for Cerule to be able to perform her duties as the next ruler better. Although her father was adamant on not having his precious daughter outside of the sea, he had no choice but to begrudgingly agree with his wife’s argument.
Thus she was given a special necklace that allowed her to transform from human to mermaid. This is a national treasure, much like Kalim’s magic carpet. Her father always spams her with letters to make sure she’s okay whenever she’s at school.
Cerule can recall the first time she brought over potential friends in the Serpent Sea, to her place only to flee at the sight of her father’s “grin”. Those sharp teeth don’t really look welcoming and it scared off any young serpent that Cerule wanted to be friends with.
There was one time when Azul saw Cerule’s feral side, it was when he was confronted by his middle school bullies when he was in his octopus pot. They tugged at his tentacles roughly so that he can’t help but cry out. The bullies were then smacked a few feet away when Cerule slammed her tail onto them. She drops her joyful attitude as she snarls at them.
Azul thought that she was easy to manipulate during their first meeting but it was this event that made him think that he should consider her to be on the same level of respect as the Leech twins. The sight of her glowing red eyes as she squeezed his tormentors until they fled, was a constant reminder of her status as the serpent’s daughter.
He was smart enough not to incur the wrath of the serpent king as well.

Academic History at DCA

Cerule is a 2nd Year Coquille student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
She got way too excited when she was chosen to attend DCA that she had to be knocked out with a sleeping spell because she wriggled around so much that the carriage shook on the way.
Cerule was quite clumsy at first since she had to get used to legs, but as she practiced using her newly transformed limbs it felt like she was more nimble on land than in water. Though she doesn’t want to give up her strong tail entirely, she still would choose to live in the sea.
Not to mention that she has no knowledge of the education that humans often go through on a daily basis. She felt stressed for the first time in her life when she had no idea about math or human history. She struggled a lot back then but thankfully the staff were able to sort out her problem to get accustomed to human culture and subjects.
She was always dazed due to how many things were so new to her everywhere she went, she was almost as bad as Allison when it comes to being curious. Though after a year studying in DCA she’s toned down a bit though she still gets excited over new trends.
Though the fuzzy and feathery land animals are interesting, Cerule still prefers the sea creatures in the school. Mainly because she’s discovered the magical method of “searching the internet” that she found out about the dark biology behind those cute faces.
But when told that sea creatures are the same, Cerule argues that the sea creatures that have dangerous biology are clear as day unlike the platypus and ducks.
Cerule is very active in PE, while she has decent grades on other subjects that don’t involve using magic. She found them mundane and therefore lacking a bit of motivation to give it her all. Asking her to take notes for tests feels taxing as she’d rather look for sunken treasure instead.

School Relationships

Cerule was curious about humans and would want to be included in these strange human activities to experience something new. She’s made new friends that can show her exciting things and always include her in their fun. These friends are Allison, Perrine, Ella, Jinlong, and Vidya.

Allison and Perrine have opened her eyes to human cuisine which she became addicted to, they just tasted so delicious and the way the girls decorated the food reminded her of the colorful shells back in the sea. Though when they tried to get her to cook, she failed miserably, Cerule stuck to microwaves which sparked the argument between the three how microwaving food is not a form of cooking.

Jinlong and Cerule were at odds at first, mainly because Jinlong thought she wasn’t taking things seriously. But it took a match between their dorms for her to realize that Cerule just found fun in what she does but can also be serious. From then on the two became friendly rivals.

Ella looked like a seal to Cerule with how big and sparkly her eyes were. Not to mention she has a lot of pretty, shiny objects that pique her intrigue. They remind her of sea glass but they were shinier and quite heavy. She didn’t mind being Ella’s model from time to time but she preferred loose, flowing dresses as opposed to those dreadful “corsets” and “crinolines” that she tried out one time. It felt like she put herself in a net.

Vidya was very interesting because Cerule felt as if her gaze was like an alpha on guard. Which would make sense considering Vidya’s circumstance. Many thought that Vidya won’t let her guard down around Cerule so easily but surprisingly, the two got along well. Maybe because Cerule's happy-go-lucky personality reminded her of Kalim.

Cerule was also impressed when Vidya showed her a variety of plants that grew on land, they were more colorful than the corals and smelled nice. Her favorite plants were the fruits.

Marina’s form is from Cerule’s desire to seek out the unknown and discover new wonders. Hence why Marina is so open to exploration and always sings such interesting stories from time to time. Cerule also enjoys Marina’s company, she doesn’t keep her still for long. Though Marina does warn Cerule in case of any danger, she still has to protect her charge after all. Cerule takes heed every time the fairy sings in a low tune.

Animal Companion

Bobble

Cerule has a pet ringed seal named Bobble because of how he tends to bounce while trying to maneuver on land. She encountered a poor baby seal trapped on a floating iceberg, clearly separated from his mother. But what was worse was that orcas were waiting to pounce on the poor thing.
Cerule fought against the orcas valiantly and though she got injured, she managed to chase them away. The seal was starving and she offered to take care of him until he could find his mother. But it would seem that the seal prefers to stick with her instead.
Due to her home being too deep even for a seal, she kept Bobble at a grotto that happened to house several treasures she managed to find.
Bobble is just as curious as Cerule and would follow her orders without question. He has a keen eye for anything shiny, which means more treasures to hoard. Though he is a bit of a coward, he would hide behind Cerule and quiver.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Tears of the Sea”. She can willingly turn her tears into pearls that can be crushed into powder. Applying it to the injury or ailment would heal it instantly, the more pearls are used the better the effect. Cerule often keeps a bottle of it or makes them into bracelets for emergencies.
Cerule’s lineage as a serpent gave her the ability to serenade people into a trance-like state, though she can’t control this yet.
She can also manipulate water but doing so would exhaust her a lot. And she doesn’t exactly have complete control over it unless she’s singing. If she loses focus during a song, the water would burst and create a splash zone.

Familial Relationships

Charbyss Oceana

Cerule’s father and the serpent king. He is a 50 ft long serpent classified as a carnivore with an intimidating appearance. His jaw resembles an anglerfish and he possesses large horns that vaguely resemble a crown.
His body is very wide with scales that are dark blue with bioluminescent patterns on his back that begin to glow if he feels aggressive.
He is able to command storms and summon whirlpools with a mighty roar. Though he rarely causes trouble on the surface because they now live peacefully in the depths.
In his more human-looking merform, his size is the same as an adult orca. He has a buff build and the bioluminescent markings appear on his arms and chest as tattoos.
Despite his intimidating appearance, he is a noble and loyal ruler who looks after his people and his family well. His people have nothing to fear when he’s guarding their territory, because he would violently fight off any intruders and leave them for dead.
Such is the rule of the Serpent Sea. In fact, fights among serpents are said to cause underwater quakes from time to time.
He still has his fears of Cerule getting injured and no matter what his daughter or his wife says, he can’t let go of that memory which haunts him. This is also why he was against Cerule attending DCA.

Caeta Oceana

Cerule’s mother and the serpent queen. She is a 30 ft long serpent classified as an herbivore with a more elegant appearance. Her head resembles a porpoise and she has fins that flow behind her like a veil, with spines that vaguely form a tiara. These fins and spines glow with bioluminescence.
Her body is slender than her husband’s and her scales shine like silver in contrast to Charbyss. She also has bioluminescent patterns.
She has the ability to sing songs that can lure ships to her, it was once rumored that the legend of the siren began when serpents like her sunk a thousand ships.
As an herbivore, one would think twice about messing with her, though she doesn’t possess the feral instinct like her husband does, she still has abilities that render opponents unable to fight.
Such as being able to use her glowing fins to make anyone dizzy if they gaze for too long before paralyzing them with a venomous sting from her spines.
In her more human-looking merform, her size is slightly shorter than her husband’s. She has a slender build with long flowing hair, the markings also become tattoos on her body.
She is gentle and the voice of reason between her husband and her daughter. Understanding of what Cerule needs to grow up to be proper ruler as well as possess the right morals to rule. She had been sick when she was carrying eggs that led to her only being able to lay one healthy egg while the rest were not able to be born.

Character Trivia

• Cerule’s name is derived from the color Cerulean while her last name, “Oceana” is just the word ocean with a few more letters.
• Her first concept was that of a stereotypical mermaid with the usual fish tail until it was changed to be an oarfish. To make it more unique, the serpent sea was created as Cerule’s character was developed.
• Instead of the stereotypical depiction of mermaids, Cerule’s mermaid concept is based on that of a siren mixed with the legends of sea serpents. This was also because Phoenix wanted Cerule to be the personification of Ursula’s lair.
• In a sense, Cerule has closer ties with the Octavinelle Trio rather than be considered adversaries to one another like in the Disney film.
• Cerule dislikes tight spaces for too long due to how suffocating it feels.
• Cerule is a vegetarian, she is alright with dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt. But eggs are not included in her diet on the surface. In the sea, she eats mostly seaweed and kelp among other underwater vegetation.

2024 Biography

Personality

Rozeline used to be a social child until a certain incident left her closed off from mingling with others who aren’t in her family. On the surface, she is a stone-faced genius with skills that would no doubt have her scouted in various industries.
But to those she is close with, she is actually a bit of a dork who gets enthusiastic with her topic of interest. Also, she gets a bit bashful once she was told she was rambling once again.
Rozeline is known for possessing photographic memory that allows her to remember almost any incident which can be fortunate or unfortunate in her case. She can recall even the smallest of details which is impressive but this also means that any unpleasant memory doesn’t disappear.
She has an appreciation for the genre of horror and psychological thrillers, she learned to get over her fears and she enjoys the attention to detail to make the genre horrifying. Rozeline practiced art to make several pieces that depicted horror parallel to her imagination. Her father is proud of her talents but feels unnerved with the artworks hanging in the dark hallway of their house.
Apparently, according to Uncle Vargas, she has incredible reflexes when she’s walking while reading compared to when she isn’t. Which baffles the man a lot but he guessed that’s a hidden talent that Rozeline is known for having.

Pre DCA Life

When she and her father initially moved to the Shaftlands, their neighbor just so happened to be Ashton Vargas. Little Rozeline met Ashton Vargas at around age 5, when she and her father moved to the neighborhood and her father wanted to give baskets filled with ham, quality cheese and wine to their neighbors. She and her father first went to Vargas’ household because he was literally next door to their house. They became family friends and Ashton became an honorary uncle to Rozeline.
As for, Rozeline’s birth mother, she passed from an illness few years after giving birth. Though Rozeline has vague memories of her mother, it was clear that her father loved his wife so much. She often gazes at pictures in the albums, asking her father what she was like.
Before the “incident”, she was just like any child, playing outside with friends and sometimes getting a bit muddy in the process. She used to be quite the energetic little girl, always wanting to play hero instead of damsel with the other children. She’s always admired the brave heroes in the stories that her father reads to her.
However, one day, one of their friends went into the forest because they lost their ball there. Rozeline followed only to find him cowering by a tree where a large wolf was prowling nearby. She remembered the stories of brave heroes and plucked up the courage to get between the wolf and the boy.
This led to her Unique Magic developing, but it looked terrifying as it appeared as a gnarly thorn beast that towered the wolf and brutally drove it off. Rozeline was then labeled as a monster due to her Unique Magic. This incident scarred her and led her to suppress her Unique Magic no matter what.
The other children ended up bullying her so much that she was homeschooled for the next few years. Fabien feels sorry for his daughter who simply had a bad timing, the other neighbors excluding Vargas would whisper how there must be something wrong with their family.

Rozeline remembers that her father made a machine that used shadow puppets to tell a story, it was a gift to her. Fabien used her favorite storybook as inspiration, Rozeline was inspired to become someone heroic like the ones in the story.
The incident of her Unique Magic developing stayed in her memory, the boy she saved called her a monster and told the other children about her. This made them socially isolate her and when she tried to politely clear up what happened at the forest, they just yelled at her and pushed her away. Causing her mental trauma that eventually made her close off herself from people.
During her time she became homeschooled, there was a tutor that her father hired that somewhat got her to distract herself from the incident. She remembered him being strict but also showing her so many new things that can be found in books. He was the only person she let her walls down for because he listened to her struggles and gave her advice. Recalling how she gave him a pocket watch she asked her father to make.

Academic History at DCA

Rozeline is a 3rd Year Chateau Beastiale student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
Rozeline is closed off for the most part, she is very professional when interacting with other students. Which earned her the image of a genius due to how she treats others professionally. She is an intellectual girl who has talent in inventing machines infused with magic as well as a skilled novelist, playwright and songwriter.
Due to her tutor’s lessons, she became skilled in the aforementioned fields to an almost prodigy scale. With the aid of her photographic memory, she is able to pinpoint details that produce high quality work in her school. There have been offers from industries that were mailed to her on occasion, but Rozeline compiles them to ponder over for later.
Rozeline slowly eased into socializing more, it started with the furniture in the dorm before she moved on to people. But there are still moments that she begins to panic, that’s when her Unique Magic starts to act up due to her strong emotions.
She likes to busy herself by making articles and documentaries on her fellow students who come from different regions. With their permission, she posts them in a blog under an anonymous identity online. She does so as a way to provide the true knowledge instead of those that are mere assumptions, also she is bummed out that not many would take notice of these amazing cultures according to her.
One thing that Rozeline is known for enjoying is eating new food she has never seen before. Her cool composure crumbles at the sight of a feast. She picked up her father’s habit of saying thanks with a gift basket, she would often give them out when she asked for help from other students. All of them were usually filled with pastries and cheeses.
She has a book series based on a certain dorm leader of Futterwacken and her ventures into angering the “dark-haired maiden who has had enough of her nonsense. She was thinking of donating the books to the school library at some point.
Rozeline is a star student due to her intellect and diligence in her studies. But she is terrible at PE, when she’s trying to get over obstacles it is just impossible. However, when she’s engrossed in a book and is reading, she somehow manages to maneuver around people and objects effortlessly.

School Relationships

Rozeline is closed off but there are a few people she socializes with more, those are Evonie, Jinlong and Elu. Though her friendship with them started when she offered to record their projects and other things for them, she also was curious about their culture.

Evonie often rants to Rozeline about Allison that the two are often seen in a room where the former is sitting on a chaise longue talking about the recent prank Allison pulled on her while the latter sits on another chair writing it all down while listening intently to Evonie ramble. It was like a therapist dynamic with Evonie and Rozeline, though the two can also be seen trading novels. While with Allison it was like a private investigator taking notes on a target.

Jinlong often brings over antiques for her to register into logbooks kept at Chateau Beastiale. She is always amazed how Jinlong always re-forged the objects that look almost impossible to fix. Rozeline also is interested in her culture and would not pass the opportunity to inquire questions about the traditions of the Valley of Clouds. Jinlong also takes this opportunity to show her both the good and the bad side to tradition to hopefully bring this attention to the public that in turn would get notified to the authority figures back home. Rozeline often gave her a basket full of cheese and bread as thanks for her help.

Elu and Rozeline often exchange ideas on inventions, both aim to help the other in improving their engineered machines. Elu would like to gain more knowledge about how to advance her village while being eco-friendly, Rozeline’s knowledge on machines can help her out with that. Rozeline in turn is interested to document about culture in Elu’s village; she is well-aware of how that place is hounded with businessmen. Plenty of top articles overshadow any articles about this village’s problem, Elu is hoping that Rozeline could bring some attention to her issues in exchange for her participation. The two also are two loners in a pod, often preferring solitude to crowded places. Elu is also gifted baskets of freshly baked French pastries whenever she came over or helped Rozeline out with commission work. The bear girl can’t forget the taste of such delicacy.

Rosia and Rozeline’s relationship is more of a mentor trying to help a withering bud blossom, though it was taking quite a bit of TLC to get there. Rosia is blunt but not brutally honest, she knows that Rozeline can do many amazing things if she can just trust in herself and her powers. Rosia’s form is from Rozeline’s unconscious desire to finally face her past. Rozeline appreciates what her fairy does for her, she really does but her fears weigh her down like an anchor.

Animal Companions

Palmiers

She has a sun bear named Palmiers. She named her after finding her in her family home one day eating the freshly made palmiers she baked for her father. Sun bears are known to be aggressive and territorial but for some reason, she has clung to Rozeline like a chick.
The bear has a rather mysterious personality, she often stares at people from afar before she retreats into her station. Sometimes Rozeline can hear her mutter about philosophical things that make sense only to a bear.
Palmiers is stationed as a guard for the dorm, though easily bribed by sweets, especially the ones she was named after. The bear often climbs onto high places with no problem at all, though this tends to startle Rozeline when she sees her bear on the ceiling or chandelier.

Sullivan

A shy Selle Francais breed who tends to hide behind his owner. Rozeline got him as a present from Vargas, the man didn’t have the need for a horse since he could easily do its job with ease, so he decided to give it to his honorary niece. Sullivan tends to get spooked a lot, even from the smallest noise and he dislikes the dark.
Rozeline mainly uses him to take a stroll whenever she feels overwhelmed at times. Sullivan can sympathize with her troubles and would nuzzle her to make her feel better.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Beast of Thorns”. She can summon a huge, hulking monster made of thorns to aid her in fight if there was one, she can also summon it as just vines. But this was more complicated as it is connected to her emotions yet it has a bit of sentience. Rozeline does her best to suppress it no matter what.
She isn’t athletic and so mostly uses long range spells and even trap spells to gain the advantage against opponents. She can be a challenge to take out especially when she takes extra measures to make it difficult to attack her.

Familial Relationships

Fabien Maury Pierrette

Rozeline’s father who is an inventor of magical devices. He runs an antique shop that repairs old and broken items, he is quite good with fixing things. He sometimes ventures into a junk shop to purchase scrap metal to see what he can build.
He is a doting father and he loves his daughter very much, when he found out about the commotion at school that made Rozeline traumatized, he knew he couldn’t force her to go back so he hired a private tutor and had her homeschooled instead. He is familiar with Ashton Vargas because they’re next-door neighbors, either he or Rozeline go over to his house to deliver a basket of smoked ham and cheese, he even invites the man over for dinner during holidays.

Baptiste Gallois

Rozeline’s private tutor, he is a rather tall man with long unkempt hair up to his shoulders and his voice sounds quite raspy and deep, but he is a very excellent tutor. He used to teach at some university but he retired and now works as a part-time tutor. People are wary of his appearance and would gossip at him and his unsightly state.
He is just a frugal man who prefers to mend his old coats rather than buy new ones. A bit strict but he just wants the child to excel because he believes that knowledge is the way to assure a good future. Rozeline gave him a pocket watch when he announced that she was almost done with her studies, he took good care of it.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Rozeline” is a different approach on the usual names that have the word “rose” in it, while her last name, “Pierrette” is also a play on French words. Pierrette is also a name of French origin, meaning "rock" or "stone" and its meaning is meant to suggest strength, stability, and endurance, and to help one forge their own path in life.
• Rozeline becomes much more talkative when it comes to literature, playwrights and inventing. She’ll ramble on about the parts she thinks are interesting. It can either turn out to be confusing if the person doesn’t get the terms she uses or they would be impressed with her feedback.
• She felt terrible for the years she spent homeschooled because she didn’t have the courage to face people. So, she tried to pay back her father by sending screenplays to local small theaters that delivered her share of the profits since the playwrights were good.
• She wrote it under the pseudonym of “Rosethorn” that she still continues to use today. Her father thought she was doing a part-time job, she never told him that she was doing commissions.
• Her pseudonym is ironic considering her unique magic but it fits her quite well.
• Phoenix’s initial concept before the initial sketchings for Rozeline was going to be just the typical girl with a weird pet that was supposed to represent Beast. But then it was changed so that Rozeline is both a personification of both Belle and Beast.

Encyclopedia Bio

History

Vidya was born and raised in the Oasis Kingdom and is the daughter of its sultan, Faizan Nazari, making her the princess of the nation.
Vidya sadly never got to have a normal childhood like the other children. Due to her royal status, she knew that she would be at the risk of assassination attempts. At a very young age she had to learn how to defend herself, she did this willingly and her father didn't notice. She knows that the guards outside her chambers aren’t going to be enough to keep the assassins away.
At some point during her childhood, during a festival held in honor of her birthday, she met Kalim Al-Asim and the two spent the day having fun and the two became friends.
Until she came to DCA, she became more open and sincere to other students.

Personality

Generous to the core, Vidya simply wishes to help both her kingdom and the common folk prosper. She harbors a deep hatred of nobles using their influence to abuse and belittle those lower than them which results in her acting passive aggressive towards the nobles of her kingdom. Vidya can be mischievous and use it to be a bit of a vigilante in helping out her people. She dislikes the fact that her father wants to maintain an image with nobles. But she doesn’t trust people who she thinks will bring her father down.
Vidya is stated to have paranoia about the consequences of being royalty and even has nightmares of being assassinated in the middle of the night. In addition to this, she had issues distinguishing if someone wishes to be her friend or if someone is only interested in using her for her status and wealth.
Vidya always wears a facade and rarely gets to convey how she really feels.

Confidants

Vidya has a personal retainer who is a tiger beastman named Rajin. He often spars with Vidya but only to learn more sword techniques from her. Vidya chose him to work as her servant when he was being beaten by a noble’s guard. He was an orphan with nowhere to go, he swore his life to be her eyes and ears when she wasn't around the palace.

Night Raven College Students

Kalim met Vidya at a festival in her honor and he was obviously a happy-go-lucky boy and just dragged her everywhere, showing her the fun things he could do and hopes that she might like it too. Vidya is too overwhelmed but tries to be polite. But then she felt her soul ascend when he got her on the magic carpet with him. Out of all the nobles who attended, she kept in touch with Kalim the most because at an early age Vidya appreciates that fact that he didn’t treat her like glass, even though being high in the sky with no safety was terrifying. She knows the heavy price of being in the life they lead. Luxury comes with treachery. There are many people who want her out of the picture, the same can be said for Kalim. He only has to eat food made by Jamil due to an attempted food poisoning that sent Jamil into a coma. Vidya did get along with Kalim and at some point envied him since he can still smile despite all the hell he has to go through.

Jamil is a very observant boy and he knows when someone has ulterior motives. But because Vidya was introduced into his and Kalim’s lives at a young age, he’s learned to trust her. He could see in her body language that she is on high alert when it comes to parties and events while Kalim happily laughs carefree. He soon became friends with Vidya. Since they’ve become friends at a young age, probably one exception is that he trusts her fully to make sure nothing happens to Kalim. He also appreciates the fact that she can look after herself. Vidya has become the person who would look after Kalim when Jamil is absent or doing other tasks. She’s gotten good with using her unique magic to keep Kalim out of trouble.

Romance

Though she plans on ruling by herself, if Vidya were to choose a partner, she needs someone who is smart and someone she can trust around the palace; she knows that many would stab her in the back.

2024 Biography

Personality

Vidya’s personality according to acquaintances, is a lavish royal who has a charming personality that can come off as vain and a know-it-all as she has vast knowledge in a wide array of topics. However, she is anything but what people see on the surface. It is actually a façade to protect herself from people who want to take advantage of her family.
Vidya is aware of her surroundings even when she is busy with certain tasks or a conversation, she is always skeptical of people she converses with. Due to this, she tends to keep up a wall between her and them while keeping it all tucked away in a mask of false naivety.
She dislikes using her position to push people around, she makes a show to give back the humiliation to the instigator which are most likely nobles.
She vents this way occasionally and she makes sure to do it in a manner that they can’t say anything against her. Vidya can be quite passive aggressive and she doesn’t forget first impressions, she can tell the person's intent just by subtle habits and patterns of speaking.
However, if someone genuinely cares for her enough to break down her walls, she is seen as a big sister figure who looks out for her loved ones.
During heated conflicts where she has to get involved, she calculates the situation and takes into consideration what could benefit both parties unless the other side does anything shady that warrants reprimanding. If that’s the case then she cannot guarantee them any mercy from her.
As much as she dislikes some of the nobles, there are a few good ones but they are often hidden beneath a pile of the arrogant ones.
Vidya’s life isn’t entirely stressful, she often competed in dance competitions and won a lot of awards. As much as it felt good to win, she loved how free she felt when dancing. Though her dance partner tends to get on her nerves from time to time by being “fashionably” late.

Pre DCA Life

Vidya is the only child of Faizan Nazari, the sultan of the Oasis Kingdom. Her mother was from a different kingdom ruled by a Pharaoh. She was just a noble whom Faizan fell for when he was the crown prince that was visiting at the time.
She passed away after birth but she made Faizan promise to keep their child safe. Faizan is protective of his daughter but at the same time he wants to show his kingdom how much he adores her. He spoils her with a lot of gifts to show his affection and he’s never absent in her life even when he’s busy ruling a kingdom.
However, Faizan is not made aware of how many people try to rip his precious daughter from his life until that incident one night.
Vidya’s perspective on her life changed at the age of 5 when a bandit held her hostage in front of her father demanding money in exchange for her life. She feared the knife that was close to her neck but she was more terrified of the expression her father made. That was when she realized that she was forever shackled to this dangerous life.
Even if her father employed more guards to keep her safe, Vidya doesn’t trust someone just because they were now working for the royal family.
She has to sleep with a dagger under her pillow. If she does sleep, she drifts between being barely awake and slumber which leads to her waking up feeling unpleasant. But Vidya stuck with this habit for her own survival.
Soon enough, she started to do whatever she can to survive, training with a trustworthy guard and reading up on politics and difficult books but she does all this without her father knowing. She didn’t want him to think that the incident scarred her, it’d weigh on him heavily if he found out. She didn’t want him to feel like a failure.
As much as she didn’t feel comfortable pretending she was alright to her adoring father, she didn’t want him to lose his smile.
Her father wants Vidya to find a husband and live comfortably, but he is unaware that Vidya plans to rule as a Sultana alone.
On the surface, people can see Vidya wearing a lot of jewelry but if one takes a closer look, the jewels are actually magic stones that helps her use her stronger spells without having to risk overblot easily. She replaces them daily and cycles through different sets when the blot disappears from the stone, and they are all carefully crafted by a skilled artisan.
Vidya doesn’t pay mind to how people would call her spoiled or vain when they spot the jewels she wears, no one needs to know the reason why she wears so much jewelry.
Magical stones are expensive but for those with a lot of wealth to spend, they’re nothing too expensive, though she doesn’t buy in bulk knowing that others buy them as well. Vidya is smart with money, the magical stone jewelry are the only luxurious items she’s willing to spend her allowance on.

Childhood

Vidya is haunted by the thought of having a knife to her neck when she was 5 years old. She doesn’t like it when people sneak up behind her. Kalim learned the hard way and got knocked to the ground, Vidya felt awful for doing that to him but the boy reassured her that it was his fault.
There was the day she met Kalim and Jamil, it started at a celebration when she turned 6 that she met the Asim heir and his servant. At first, she didn’t think much of them other than they seemed like polar opposites.
But what made them become friends, started when an assassin that was meant for Kalim infiltrated the party and pretended to be a servant who lured Kalim away. Vidya knew right away that the person was not one of their servants, having memorized the faces of every single servant in the palace.
She was correct and the assassin had Kalim pinned down about to slit his throat but Vidya knocked the assassin away with a strong spell to the head. Then she had the guards quietly take the assassin to the dungeon.
She felt Kalim grab her hand and she thought he was about to cry but he was calling her “cool” for rescuing him like a hero. Vidya was thrown off by his personality that brushed off his close call with death by scolding him to be more aware. Kalim just thought of it as her being worried for him and just grinned at her.
But that’s what got Kalim to constantly visit Vidya with his dad whenever there were trips to the Oasis Kingdom.
Slowly, she got to know the two boys more and she was able to know what having friends was like for the first time. Jamil took a while to warm up to Vidya but he slowly started to lower his guard around her after she gave him a challenge while playing mancala and since he didn’t have to hold himself back. It was the first time he felt frustrated in losing but at the same time he became more determined to win.
There were times that she envied how Kalim still was able to find the joy in life despite being targeted all the time, but she doesn’t think too much of that envy. He’s got it rough as well just because he doesn’t show it much. She became his “mom friend” that fusses over him to lessen Jamil’s responsibilities if it’s only for a bit.

Academic History at DCA

Vidya is a 3rd Year Magiaoasis student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
When she first arrived, she merely aimed to take advantage of the lessons the prestigious academy could offer her to better her skills. But the more she observed the students, the more she started to notice how they were free to do as they please.
Vidya tried to be more involved with her fellow students and sometime later, she found herself feeling genuinely happy to mingle with people of her age. She soon started to gossip and get involved with hang outs while not forgetting her duties as a dorm leader.
She’s become the queen bee of the dorm but she’s in no way harsh to the students. They just admire her personality and charisma. Many students often swoon over her more than they do over boys, Vidya can easily make either side admire her because she is genuinely impressive.
As a princess, she had the best tutors hired by her father. However, she went above and beyond and self-taught herself to read on topics not usually given to princesses. There were those times she learned more about the kingdom through her guards than the ministers would.
She has top grades throughout her subjects but she especially excels in PE, often taking the lessons very seriously. She wants to keep herself in top shape whenever she has to handle “unpleasant intruders” who come after her when she goes home for the holidays.

School Relationships

At first, Vidya was guarded and closed off during her first year. Many girls admired how cool and elegant she seemed but she didn’t try to socialize with anyone else until she formed a proper friendly rivalry with Jinlong and Evonie.

There were also students that she found herself easily opening up to, particularly Briar and Perrine. With Evonie and Jinlong, she was cornered and even bested to the point that she was frustrated but it also lit a fire in her to win the next match. Vidya still strived to be the best but this time she’s more involved with the girls and actually got to enjoy school life.

Evonie is her sparring partner during swordsmanship practice. She finds Evonie kind of like her as they both are competitive but also fair in sports. Vidya sometimes tends to tease Evonie with how much she gets frustrated over a certain Futterwacken student. She was so easily riled up that it was almost amusing.

Jinlong and Vidya can sympathize with wanting to break traditions but will have to face the consequences of being hounded by those who lived with said traditions for all their lives. Vidya would sometimes join her training regimen in Dragonstone as they are quite intense. It may leave her sore but it would all be worth it.

As for Briar, she and Vidya can relate to their joys of childhood being nonexistent to an extent. One’s childhood was robbed of familial bond while the other is robbed of feeling safe within her own home. Though the two can spend some down time feeling relaxed and enjoying the little things they can at the academy. Though she doesn’t understand why Briar doesn’t just get up and leave if the palace hurts her so much.

Perrine has always been curious about Vidya’s homeland cuisine, always asking if there was any way she can secure spices for her restaurant in the dorm then she’d asked to be the taste tester. Vidya finds her to be almost like Jamil in terms of her prowess in the kitchen, but also Perrine is just so cute in her opinion. Like Kalim and Jamil in one person.

Luna simply adores Vidya’s passion to achieve her goal, she had her fair share of feisty queens who took over the dorm centuries ago but Vidya was a cut above the rest according to her. Luna’s form is from Vidya’s wish to be free from having to constantly watch her back. Therefore, Luna is always enthusiastic and is adamant to have Vidya flow to her rhythm. Admittedly, Vidya enjoys how carefree Luna makes her feel during these moments.

Animal Companion

Asha

She is an albino elephant and is still quite young. Vidya brought her from a cruel circus troupe when Vidya noticed the mistreatments behind the curtains. She had no problem contacting authorities to put the people responsible behind bars.
Asha took a while for her to warm up to Vidya but when she finally did, she clings to Vidya as if she was her mother. Faizan’s big cats were gentle with Asha and were even protective of her, it was because the animals can tell when Vidya is trusting of someone.
Vidya is the only human she trusts, but Kalim is another one who she is comfortable with. Which isn’t surprising because the boy is incapable of anything cruel and is the definition of sunshine.
Asha’s true personality is that she can be a bit of a prankster, stealing hats and headbands while running off with them. She also is a big cuddle bug, demanding more pets from Vidya and tooting her trunk when she stops giving her affection.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Golem Guard”. Vidya can summon golems made of sturdy sandstone that can do her bidding. She can also infuse them with different magic stones to make them resistant to a certain element. These golems deliver a strong punch and are difficult to destroy.
Though Vidya mostly uses them to help her with her garden or any heavy lifting. They last for only several minutes before they dissolve into their original material. She can summon about 5 at a time, anything beyond that number will make her blot faster.
Vidya has also mastered magic that allows her to manifest weapons on the spot. These only last for a good while before it shatters. They are used in case she is left without a weapon to defend herself with.
One weapon can burn through a single magical gem. So, she would need to switch out these gems whenever she uses the weapon manifestation spell.

Familial Relationships

Faizan Nazari

The Sultan of the Oasis Kingdom. He’s a good ruler but a bit clueless about the untrustworthy people in his council. He dotes on his daughter a lot ever since his wife died giving birth to Vidya. He rarely allows her to leave the place due to the robbery where she was used as a hostage.
Faizan doesn’t want her to feel pressured as a monarch and wishes she finds a husband who will take care of her well but he is unaware that she is determined to be a queen who rules the kingdom without a husband.
He is a good ruler but he is often misdirected by some of his council members, particularly the elder ones who are eyeing to put their own children on the throne. Vidya would often deflect their attempts knowing that he will listen to her the most.
Faizan owns a lot of tigers, he has quite a variety of breeds and all of them are given the high class treatment with the best foods and groomers. He has about 40 of them.
They all empathize with his emotions and therefore, became protective of Vidya as well. This works in her favor as no one dares to approach her carelessly when one of them is in the room.
He mostly has them around his throne and in the gardens, only bringing one or two into parties to show off his precious pets.

Zahra Nabil

She is Vidya’s birth mother and is Faizan’s wife. She is a noble who was just as ordinary as the rest. Though she was known for being sassy and upfront.
She met her husband during his visit to the kingdom she lived in. Faizan fell for her at first sight. He tried to play the part of a “cool” guy but it didn’t impress her very much. The moment she fell for him was when he fumbled in his next attempt and ended up falling into a fountain. She preferred guys who have a dorky side.
Faizan learned to be more genuine which led to their romance and her moving to his kingdom when they got married. Faizan remembered her as a confident and assertive kind of woman. Telling stories how Vidya got her cleverness and sass from her a lot.

Rajin

He is a tiger beastman who was once an orphan fighting in the slums for any scrap of food. He bumped into a noble who whined about a street kid staining his clothes. The poor boy was beaten by the guards for “soiling the noble’s clothes”, but Vidya was the one to stop the cruelty and even blackmailed the noble that he will not tell the sultan that she snuck out otherwise she will list all of his misdeeds to the court.
Even though the noble did as he was told, she did it anyway and played “innocent” so she wasn’t the one in trouble. Rajin was taken to the palace to recover but when he was all better, he wanted to serve Vidya as her guard to repay her kindness to him.
Though Vidya said he was free to retire with no worry about funds due to his salary, he still stayed by Vidya’s side. Acting as her eyes and ears in the palace when she’s away in school.
Not many people have heard him talk, save for the Nazari family and a few servants he trusts. But his face can be read like an open book due to how expressive he is. It’s something he can’t help because he still doesn’t trust nobles, though Kalim just makes him feel awkward since he’s too nice that it’s unsettling. Jamil is fine, though he feels like there is some resentment he can sense towards Kalim.
Oftentimes, he spars with Vidya during her secret training and he is determined to win against her at least once but so far, Vidya wins all the time. But he’s determined to secure his victory someday, this is how they build their respect and trust with each other.
Faizan’s tigers often purr and cuddle up to Rajin, Vidya thinks it’s because he’s got their genus that they think he’s a part of the pack.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Vidya” means knowledge, science and learning while her last name “Nazari” was taken from a name generator for Arabic last names.
• Her early concept before the initial sketching was that she was supposed to be a party animal like Kalim. But Phoenix didn’t want Jamil to suffer more since Vidya was going to be friends with the Scarabia duo. She was changed into a more responsible and aware character. Seemingly perfect on the surface yet wishes she wouldn’t have to look over her shoulder all the time.
• Vidya is always seen wearing a lot of jewelry but what most don’t realize is that they were magic stones that absorb blot. Allowing her to cast spells in case of an assassination.
• Vidya enjoys competitive dancing, especially when it involves a lot of energetic movements. She’s won quite a lot of trophies. Though her partner can be a bit of a pain because he tends to lose focus. Her partner is Alejandro De Oro, a noble who is notorious for being a playboy.
• Kalim and Jamil have known her since she was very young. Alejandro is her dance partner and has known her since they were preteens. He did try to flirt with her at first, but then they got kidnapped and Vidya couldn’t stand his whining and decided to snap at him which gave him a bit of a reality check. Oddly enough this incident made them friends… somewhat.
• Vidya may have grown up eating luxurious foods, but she has a craving for something grilled every now and then.

2024 Biography

Personality

Jinlong tends to try new things along with a sense of adventure, which often gets her scolded by her father about how unladylike it was.
It doesn’t help that she is stubborn and she always ends up getting punished if she defies him. It took quite the amount of punishment for her to realize she had to keep everything she does a secret from almost all the men in her family.
Due to her unfavorable home life, Jinlong has developed a sharp tone towards the opposite gender. This may be judgmental on her part but growing up in a place where the men all think you should be placed in a box made her assume that she would be looked down upon even outside of the Valley of Clouds.
But she is much more toned down towards the girls. Although, she feels weirded out by the fact that there were girls who chose to embrace femininity.
After some time at DCA, Jinlong took a while to be a bit more accepting of the daintier girls and the fact that some women don’t like to be adventurous like her.
Jinlong was taught proper etiquette so much that it shows through her body language and habits. The lessons were hammered into her since childhood and are not easy to change.

Pre DCA Life

Jinlong grew up in a community where women are expected to be elegant and fragile. Their role in society was to be pretty and give birth to offspring. This kind of strict tradition was not for Jinlong, she’s been different from the other girls in the valley.
She wanted to do things that boys usually would, like climb trees and roughhouse. But her father would put a stop to her “outlandish” behavior by physical punishments such as kneeling on the floor for a few hours or being struck.
He even employed strict tutors to engrain etiquette into her. The tutors themselves were quite harsh and Jinlong couldn’t confide in anyone about her troubles.
Jinlong has 3 elder brothers and 2 younger brothers. The eldest often argues with her because he is the family’s golden child in terms of martial art strength and intelligence. He would agree with whatever father said, at times even using his strength to push his other siblings around to follow what he thinks is right for the family.
It didn’t help that when Jinlong snuck out, she was snitched on by most of her brothers. Especially the eldest brother who threatened the second eldest if he didn’t tell on her, but Jinlong didn’t blame the second eldest, Ying was scary strong that her father would probably take his side all the time.
She becomes less trusting of her brothers because she knows they’ll snitch on her, with the exception of the youngest and second eldest brother. She often ignores them and makes sure they don’t know what she’s doing behind her father’s back.
She started to keep secrets from her father, she sneaked out when no one was looking. She’s learned to memorize all their routines and is always back at the house on time and doesn’t look disheveled at all.
Jinlong’s mother tries to pretend she doesn’t notice her daughter doing what is considered to be “boy’s activity”. Knowing that it can be suffocating to constantly be told what to do.

Childhood

Jinlong remembers the furious look on her father’s face the moment he saw her all muddied up and trying to play swords with boys. He harshly scolded her and ended up grounding her for weeks, she wasn’t allowed to play inside or outside the house and must be with an etiquette tutor. Ying taunted her for being so “unladylike” and even had the gall to try and rile her up to get her to act out and be punished some more.
One day, while out in town, she meets an old man who was known for being a lone wolf and is always cooped up in his smithy forge. Jinlong was curious and purposely let go of her mother’s hand while they were nearing a crowd to go see what he was doing.
She’s heard how this old man was rumored to be a warrior who fought in the Great War against the enemy who tried to invade the valley but not a lot would believe that rumor. Ever since that day, she secretly came to meet up with the old dragon and learned a lot from him. The most prominent skills he taught her were martial arts and blacksmithing.
As Jinlong grew up, she managed to perfect her skills in keeping up with her etiquette lessons as well as her secret training. Oftentimes she is left alone by most of her brothers but she has also developed a hobby of nitpicking her eldest brother for every little mistake to try and knock him down a peg.
It’s petty of her to do so but she’s spent her life being told she can’t do this and that due to her gender, this was her way of getting back at him for telling her to stay in her “place”.
One day, the ivory carriage came to her house and everyone in the neighborhood was curious. Usually there were ebony carriages but here it was at her house, at first they thought it was from RSA until the coachman announced that Jinlong was chosen to attend.
The neighbors were happy for her but her father insisted that her education is perfectly fine at home. Of course, he had something to say! If it was the ebony carriage he’d had her brother’s packing already.
The carriage didn’t leave though, her father just had everyone stay in the house until it left. But Jinlong knew better, she had enough of this life and secretly packed all her things to leave for the academy.
She panicked when she heard her name being called, it was her mother. To her shock, she let her go and even covered for her. There, her mother confessed that she felt caged like her but there was nothing she could do for herself, but she didn’t want this life for Jinlong.
That night, she left the house for the academy, on her nightstand is her declaration of rebelling by leaving the floral pin that she was gifted by her father on her coming of age ceremony, as a way to tell him that she will no longer be told what to do by anyone.

Academic History at DCA

Jinlong is a 3rd Year Dragonstone student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
At first, she wasn’t comfortable with other girls seeing as how most of them dress rather doll-like. But upon realizing that the pastel walls of the academy are merely aesthetic and that the education system allows for almost any field of study regardless of whether it was feminine or not, Jinlong loosened up and was able to embrace her athleticism.
Soon enough, she felt freer especially when she is allowed to go all out during her PE lessons. It felt refreshing to be praised instead of being chastised for it.
She slowly opened up and became a model student amongst the students who found her determination inspiring.
During magift tournaments, Jinlong is considered the ace player due to how she is able to come up with a plan on the spot. Sometimes even using her opponent’s strengths against them.
Though she had quite a hard time learning new subjects that are usually reserved for men, or were just not taught in the valley at all, she took the opportunity to focus and gain more knowledge than her brother ever could achieve back home.
She has high grades in most subjects, her performance in etiquette were also exceptional but she dislikes such classes due to how she is reminded of the etiquette classes she took back home, even though this class wasn’t as restrictive. It just had too many rules and details to keep track of.

School Relationships

Jinlong would be often seen around Cerule, Rozeline, Evonie and Vidya. She’s felt really close with these girls throughout her school years of studying at DCA.

Cerule was the first mermaid she had met and Jinlong almost mistook her for a sea dragon when they saw each other. The two share sentiments of wanting freedom, though she does envy Cerule a little bit seeing as how her father was just worried about his daughter, something her own father reserved for the golden child.

Rozeline was a curious case for Jinlong, she can sense that she has tremendous power but for some reason she keeps it sealed away which cannot be healthy for her. Though she doesn’t pry since it would be too forward of her. She admits that Rozeline has quite the extensive intellectual library and she would always consult her on historical objects. Jinlong appreciates the gift basket she gets from her on occasions. Her eyes were opened to the taste of foreign food that her father always thought wasn’t even worth tasting. He’s missing out on so much!

Evonie and Vidya are the girls she can admit would be worthy of becoming rivals with. Evonie was tenacious, though her determination gets her to be a bit rash sometimes. But she’s got spirit!

Vidya was clever and will catch her off guard if she doesn’t pay close attention. She’s beaten her a few times during sparring matches.

The three started their friendship through rivalry but they do hang out when they aren’t sparring during PE. The three like to vent to each other about their issues whether it be about school or at home, they need to vent their bottled up emotions.

Cinder has a fierce but clumsy personality. The fairy is strong, no doubt but she tends to trip over her own tail a few times. But this does allow Jinlong to let down her guard and enjoy life as it is. Cinder’s form is from Jinlong’s desire to live and laugh to her heart’s content. Cinder, despite her clumsiness, has her wise moments too. She has lived for a long time after all, it wouldn’t be surprising if she spouts words of wisdom when it’s needed.

Animal Companions

Rongyu

He is a Komodo dragon that Jinlong found in the wild, she begged her father to let her keep the little guy. Her mother managed to convince him by simply stating that Komodo dragons fit quite well with their dragon-like appearance and it technically follows the draconic image they have all over the valley.
Unlike normal humans who can have fatal injuries from the Komodo dragon’s saliva, Dragonkin are immune to poisons and fire. So, having Rongyu was not a problem.
Rongyu’s pampered life at the valley made him docile and have more refined tastes for culinary cuisine rather than just raw meat. He’s grateful for Jinlong and so he knows who she likes and dislikes. He often goes potty in Ying’s room and he can’t do anything about it because it plays dumb and does his “business” in places one wouldn’t notice.
People would just assume it was mold, painting Ying as someone who has a moldy room. Jinlong cackles internally at the sight of her brother gagging in disgust.
When Jinlong was away, Hou is the next person that Rongyu goes to. Hou always wanted a pet lizard, so getting to look after him for a while is always welcome.

Yinglong

He is a Holsteiner horse and Jinlong actually bought the horse from the stables. Horses aren’t kept in the Valley due to the steep terrain, so she was curious about riding horses.
Yinglong used to trek through hills and rocky terrain. But Jinlong loves to use him in an obstacle course. With how fast and flexible he is, he can jump high enough.
Yinglong is a fan of gossip, anything he hears he wants to share with everyone. Better keep secrets away from this horse if you don’t want the stables getting noisy afterwards.

Magical Abilities

Her Unique Magic is called “Gold Dragon Fire”, she can melt her target but not the surrounding area in gold fire. Recently, she’s learned to control her temperature and she would use this technique in smelting ores and fixing antiques that are made of minerals.
Magic usage is rather minimal outside of showing off in competitions or festivals compared to the Briar Valley.

Familial Relationships

Guang Esi

The father of the Esi family, he is a traditional man who will not tolerate breaking the concept of what he considers normal. He views the world outside of the Valley of Clouds as inferior and uncouth even if they had high standing. He shows favor for the eldest son, Ying and casually compares the other brothers to him.

Liling Esi

The mother was engaged to Guang by her parents. She tries to stay out of his way and tries to live comfortably, but when Jinlong was born she realized that she didn’t want this life for her daughter. So, from behind the scenes, she helps keep Jinlong’s secret within her authority.
She was like Jinlong, a headstrong girl who was pushed into a box by rules and was forced to follow.

Ying Esi

The firstborn son and the eldest sibling at the age of 26. A very strong martial artist who is proud of his skills. He would remind Jinlong to know her place as a daughter of the household, he thinks that going against tradition is equivalent to bringing shame to the family.
While he wasn’t violent all the time, he did use a bit of force to get his point across, he injured the second eldest when he dared to raise his voice against him when he tried to stand up for Jinlong.
But despite his skill, he is rather immature where he will complain if he happens to lose fairly. Choosing to blame the opponent rather than reflect and be better.
He admires his father and would stick close to him rather than his mother.

Ushi Esi

The second-born son at the age of 24. He doesn’t possess a slim yet muscular figure like the rest of his brothers, he is more buff and heavy with toned muscles. He works as an architect, building houses and fixing gardens.
He’s friendlier to Jinlong but is a bit of a coward when it comes to confronting Ying since he was injured by the eldest when he dared to go against him one time.
He has a soft side he hides away from his brothers and father, he wanted to make hairpins ever since he was young. He just finds the beauty of them so mesmerizing. He tends to stick closer to his mother because she was so understanding.

Gou Esi

The third-born son at the age of 20. Although he is quite charming to the girls in his hometown, he is also a cunning lad. Jinlong doesn’t trust him since he’ll ask for favors in exchange for his silence.
He doesn’t pick sides but will take the opportunity to find entertainment even if it means instigating drama. And Jinlong is careful not to let him catch wind of what she does in secret.
His flirtatious habits and penchant for causing drama stems from his insecurity for not meeting his father’s expectations. If he can’t get his approval, then he looks for it in women who easily give it to him.

Tuzi Esi

The fourth son and fifth sibling at the age of 17. He is known for being quick on his feet. A bit of a troublemaker in the family, always running fast without a care in the world. He would skip out on lessons when he’s bored.
He is neutral with Jinlong and he thinks she’s boring so he barely interacts with her. Jinlong knows not to judge but she can’t help but be frustrated that he takes a lot of things for granted because he is a boy, while she has limited options and her future is held in chains.
His unwillingness to cooperate with educators also stem from his father’s favoritism. If he can’t compare to Ying then why bother, was his reason.

Hou Esi

The fifth son and sixth sibling at the age of 15. He spends his time reading books and holds discussions with his teachers about philosophy. When Jinlong took care of him while he was sick, he began to idolize her.
He decides to support Jinlong using his privileges to make sure that she no longer has to feel sad. He doesn’t care about his father since he was more of a momma’s boy. He plans on becoming a scholar instead of what his father wants for him.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Jinlong”, derives from the word “Golden Dragon” while her last name “Esi” was taken from a name generator. It does not have a Chinese meaning tied to it. Phoenix took notes from Leona’s last name and named the character in a similar manner.
• Jinlong is another fusion idea like Rozeline, she is both Mulan and Mushu.
• Just like how Mushu is looked down upon by the Fa family ancestors, Jinlong is also looked down upon by most of the males in her family.
• The names of her brothers derive from the temple guardians from the movie, the statues represent an animal guardian and Phoenix tried her best to figure out the names to fit the brothers. Some of them aren’t based on the statues due to how it didn’t sound right.
• Ying means “hero” but half is only used in the Chinese word “Yīngxióng”.
• Ushi means “cattle” in Japanese. The reason for Ushi’s name being Japanese just sounded better.
• The latter three brothers' names are derived from animals in the Eastern Zodiac. Tuzi means “rabbit”, Gou means “dog” and Hou means “monkey”.

Elu is a mostly quiet and stern individual. She is mostly seen with a serious or unpleasant look on her face and rarely ever shows a smile.
Despite her calm and composed persona, she can be vicious and downright scary when provoked, but she keeps it bottled up as she thinks that getting angry will lead to unnecessary violence. She has the tendency to be competitive and will accept a challenge that she may or may not regret accepting.
Like fellow dorm leader Jinlong, she has trouble adjusting to the school life due to the culture shock. So, she often keeps to herself while occasionally asking the professors for advice.
Elu ultimately wants what’s best for both her people and village and is determined to protect it from the greedy scoundrels who want her home for its resources.

2024 Biography

Personality

Elu is hesitant in new things but tries to keep an open mind. It’s difficult to adjust because she is unsure of what would happen if she tries something new and it might end up a bad experience. Not to mention growing up in an isolated village doesn’t give her enough exposure to foreign cultures.
Locals in her homeland know her to be a strong-willed girl who can be brutally honest because she intends to fix the problem right away, she believes that sugar-coating would delay the solution and make it worse. Though she does feel a little bad if someone cries from her criticism.
Being a beastman, she is very agile with a keen sense of smell as well as strength that surpasses humans. She often goes out hunting with the older members of the group and she displays full cooperation with other teammates.
But another thing to note is that she is a black bear beastman, her temperament is calm but she has a thin patience and she will growl or roar in anger. Despite being so small, she has incredible physical strength.
One thing she dislikes is when the team is unstable and problematic, she would quickly abandon that group and do the job herself or find another that’s got their heads together. She’d rather have the task done quickly and efficiently with no side tracking.
Unfortunately, this gives off the impression that she’s cold and unsociable which is far from the truth. She just needs to tone down a little bit.
Elu is actually mature and gives advice for those who can’t look after themselves. She enjoys the simple things in life and can have her moments where she spouts words of wisdom that makes others think she’s a wise, old sage.

Pre DCA Life

She grew up in a village where the locals rarely or never interact with outsiders. They aren’t against having outsiders visit but it was clear they don’t know how to handle interacting with people living different lifestyles.
The villagers are all beastmen who are mostly of the bear genus, though there are some who are deer and raccoon. Everyone knows each other and everyone treats each other as if they were all family. Which means they don’t stand idly by if one of them gets hurt.
But they’ve been especially wary of outsiders after a group of shady businessmen started causing problems for them. Some of their people were imprisoned and branded as the bad guys when they retaliated.
They know nothing about the modern laws of urban society and are pressured to take deals that would only benefit the other party. Thankfully, her father was a firm man and kept refusing them every time. But it won’t be long until they use every influence they have to chase them out of their home.
Elu is upset by these people and how they seem to be driven by their greed. It doesn’t help that they would disrupt the environment with their logging and illegal dumping.
Unlike city folk, life in her village was simple yet satisfying. They take what they need from the forest while also respecting the cycle of life. They don’t hunt out of vanity or pride. The males usually do the hunting but there have been women who are capable enough to hunt alongside them.
Due to Elu’s elder brother being born with a weak body, she has taken on the task of hunting for food and foraging. She has been taught knowledge on how to traverse the land and recognize edible and non-edible plants from her father.

Childhood

Elu has a fond memory of her father protecting her from a bison that wandered too close, her father struggled but he overpowered the animal and sent it away from their borders. His tall stature and rough features may have come off as intimidating to others but to Elu he was her hero.
She wanted to be like him so she does everything she can to make him proud. Even courageously taking the chance to leave home to attend DCA in order to help their village.
There was an unpleasant memory where she was told to stay in the house by her father but she got curious and peeked to see these formally dressed businessmen. Whatever they said made her father mad, he eventually sent them away.
But what happened after that was scarred into her memory, a couple of houses in her village were suddenly set ablaze, her brother nearly losing his life when he was trapped in the rubble.
She smelled the source of the fire when the businessmen returned, they smelled like gasoline, when she cried out that they were the culprits. They mocked her by asking if they even have any solid evidence as well as a lawyer, implying that her village wouldn’t win because they have the money and power to make it their victory.
Elu’s rage from what the businessmen said made her determined to focus for the benefit of her village but this in turn made her closed off to outsiders. Afraid they would be like the businessmen, lying through their teeth.

Academic History at DCA

Elu is a 2nd Year Sagamore student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
Like Jinlong, she has trouble adjusting to school life due to the culture shock. So, she often keeps to herself while occasionally asking the professors for advice when Elu feels like there was no other option. Which is the reason why she struggled a lot at first.
Not to mention, she doesn’t understand the concept of idol concerts and what the purpose of this was. She isn’t familiar with pop songs or rock, she was more of a traditionalist but she felt like not many people would be interested in that.
She was at a loss for what she was doing and if she was even trying hard enough. Until Perrine approached her and made Elu comfortable enough to finally figure out how to get used to the school environment and subjects enough to guarantee her that she won’t need to drop out of school.
Putting her inventing skills to use, she does a lot of favors in exchange for what she needs, be it some notes or tutoring. In time, she got better and has gained a reputation for herself in school. Elu thinks that it’s only a small group but in reality she helped a lot of people and they admire her a lot.
Her grades are fairly decent but it was clear that she started to improve the more she managed to understand the foreign subjects. Not among the top students but still high around the B grade.
An excellent archery shooter who can shoot with high accuracy even when on horseback. She is known to even shoot arrows through ring holes as small as a pinky finger.

School Relationships

Elu mostly kept to herself and her “strictly business” attitude made it difficult for idle chit chat. It wasn’t until she was forced to seek out the help of other students that she learned to communicate more. Even though she was still a bit professional, she at least made progress. She’s learned to try out new things little by little and learn more about new topics.

Perrine was the first to approach her and wasn’t thrown off by Elu’s reluctance. She managed to win her over just a bit with food because who doesn’t? Plus, it would help the girl relax a little and feel welcome.

Rozeline and Elu started off as acquaintances who exchanged information of interest until they became close enough to consider each other as friends in a way. Elu figured she could gain knowledge she needed from Rozeline and in turn can hope to put her issues in the urban public. Elu found Rozeline’s inventions innovative and would take notes from her, but she’s sure to also provide her own feedback on how to make it eco-friendly while still efficient.

Jinlong was an enigma to Elu, she has never seen other beastmen let alone something like a dragonkin like Jinlong. So, she is both intrigued but also intimidated. When she got to know Jinlong by chance, she began to admire her. Their goals were different but they both relate to feeling out of place, but unlike Elu who was hesitant at first, Jinlong pushed through and got to her position.

Skilli sees Elu as this lost bear cub who is figuring out the right path, but with so many things she doesn’t know, finding the right path seems impossible. Skilli’s form is from Elu’s desire to find the way to settle her problems that won’t end in turmoil. Skilli shares her knowledge to Elu as well as guide her to opening her eyes to new things she won’t find from the comforts of her home. Skilli teaches her how to cherish those differences in order to understand the world better. The fairy is the wisest and the most patient out of all the dorm fairies.

Animal Companions

Matelot

She is a woodpecker and acts as Elu’s scout, always on the lookout for anything of interest from the treetops. Matelot often marks using symbols that Elu recognizes; she even knows Morse code.
Matelot is very quiet and likes to hide her presence, often scaring people and other animals when she starts pecking away. An animal of very little words, she talks softly into people’s ears before leaving the conversation.

Tala

She is a gypsy vanner horse with a calm temperament. No matter what chaos goes on in the background she just goes, “Oh, the usual?” then does her own thing. But when it’s an emergency, she can go from calm to serious when needed.
Elu often rides on her back to drive away approaching danger. Tala is also powerful enough to push away fallen trees and break small boulders.

Magical Abilities

Her Unique Magic is called “Arrow of the Wind”, she can control any direction her arrows follow her targets with a special wind spell that only she can cast. She can make the wind faster and therefore have a greater impact on the arrows.
She can also use it as a shield, any projectiles within her line of sight can be slowed down or be redirected back to her opponent.
Elu’s magical capability is mostly nature based. Though these abilities are used to benefit her village more than mainly using them for combat, unless she needed to as a last resort. She seeks to use her skills in creating more contraptions that make life easier but not at the cost of the ecosystem.

Familial Relationships

Mato Sorrel

The chief of their village, he is a large bear beastman who is strong enough to carry about five pine logs. He is having trouble with the businessmen who try to trespass their land and try to trick him into signing a ‘beneficial’ contract, but he refuses every time because he didn’t have the opportunity to gain outside knowledge. He isn’t narrow-minded to think that outsiders are greedy but he just hopes that his daughter will be able to handle herself in the academy and hopefully bring an end to the trespassers.

Alo Sorrel

Elu’s older brother at the age of 23. He has a weak body so he isn’t able to hunt or participate in activities involving strength, he chooses to help the village to advance economically while keeping the environment in mind. He often sends letters to Elu to inform her what has been happening in the village. He feels guilty that he can’t do much to prevent trespassers from walking all over their homeland due to his weak body.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Elu” means “Full of Grace” and is a name of Native American origin while the last name, “Sorrel” means “reddish brown”. The artist just thought this last name sounded better fitting for the character despite the meaning.
• Elu’s dorm, Sagamore, was considered to be the equivalent of the Savanaclaw in NRC. Most of the students there are beastmen much like Savanaclaw. Though, Dragonstone, also shares this comparison but Sagamore has more beastmen than Dragonstone does.
• She was originally going to be written with the same wise and calm personality like Pocahontas but then it was changed to be a tougher personality with the sense of adventure and navigation like John Smith. The calm personality went to her brother.
• Phoenix chose to assign a bear to Elu as a nod to Brother Bear as well as to fit the characteristic of someone that looks cute but is actually fierce.
• Elu was the hardest to design since the first design had too many details and took the longest to draw, not to mention drawing a mechanical bow was difficult for Phoenix since contraptions are tricky.
• Phoenix is open to criticism and opinions regarding Native American culture since the internet isn’t always helpful.

History

Perrine was born and raised in Marshland Port. She is the second eldest daughter of Elva and Jeremiah Bousquet, the younger sister of Theodore Bousquet, the older sister of Ida and Dixie Bousquet and the granddaughter of Hattie Bousquet.
She and her family used to live in poverty until her parents decided to start up a catering business. Words of praise quickly spread about the Bousquet family’s cooking, which in turn resulted in them gaining the funds to open a restaurant. This eventually inspired others to start their own businesses too. Their community became a popular tourist spot because of the shops and restaurants that are connected to the houses.
However, with business comes rivalries, and rather nasty ones at that. After Theodore became the new owner of their family’s restaurant following his parents retirement, a restaurant owned by a rich but greedy company opened up across the street from the Bousquet’s and the owners frequently began to harass the family, even threatening an impossible debt on them. This makes Perrine fearful as she doesn’t want to lose the community she cherishes so dearly.

Personality

Perrine is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky young lady who harbors a deep passion for cooking and is always open to trying new foods.

2024 Biography

Personality

Perrine is a cheerful young lady who views the world in a “glass is half-full” mindset. Her nature is warm and welcoming, able to ease even the coldest and sternest of hearts to an extent. Though she mostly wins them over with the food she makes.
She is diligent but knows how to make her tasks fun so as not to get bored. Perrine also likes to make organized planners with cute aesthetics. This helps her keep focused and not feel like the tasks are such a chore. Though this can be a double-edged sword, while she is seen as reliable and hard-working, she can end up biting more than she can chew.
Perrine is open to support and praise almost anything her friends are into even if she doesn’t understand it. Even if others see it as weird or outlandish, if it makes her friends happy then she thinks it can’t be all bad.
Perrine may look like a pushover with how many favors she does for everyone but she can stop a fight as quickly as it starts. It always ends with both sides making a compromise or outright apologizing for the ruckus they caused.
She is quite skilled with handling people with such unlikable attitudes, though she doesn’t force her friendship onto them. She merely just provides them a little bit of company for them to become somewhat nicer to others.

Pre DCA Life

Perrine and her family lived in the Marshland Port, but back then it wasn’t as lively as it was today. It was dull and the swamp area made it unbearable for non-locals to visit. Only a handful of families lived in that land and managed to set up a small community there.
Perrine was told that their great grandparents invested in making the marshland a port and so they worked hard and foraged for anything that would be of value. Much to their surprise there was an abundant source of produce there, not to mention that the fireflies that come out at night were so beautiful that they decided to advertise it as a tourist attraction.
It wasn’t long before the port became a town and many tourists were coming in to see the sights and try the food there. A majority of the houses in that place have built-in shops on the first floor while the second floor is their housing area.
The house shops have become a symbol of their community that it wouldn’t be the same if they were removed.
Perrine’s family runs a restaurant, the place is a family-run business which would explain how Perrine was very quick on her feet and dexterous despite having so much to do. She learned how to cook at a young age because she wanted to help out more.
Things were going great until a rich family built a restaurant across the street and was a bit obnoxious in competing against the small businesses around it. The other families were also bothered by the way these elites tend to take customers away from them for the sake of profit. The families simply wanted to run a business because they feel close as a community like that.

Childhood

Perrine remembered how happy her family and neighbors were when she made her first dish all on her own. They celebrated by sharing it amongst others and some adults even brought alcohol to pair it with. That’s one of the moments that sparked Perrine’s love for cooking but it was really to see others smile and get along while enjoying good food.
Her parents gave her the family’s cooking pot as a present for her birthday after making that dish. Perrine takes good care of it and uses it for personal cooking, she felt like it gave her inspiration whenever she felt like experimenting.
Though there were times that her enthusiasm made her produce some… questionable combinations and her father and big brother didn’t have the guts to criticize it. Her Mawmaw did though and Perrine wasn’t even offended, she was more offended by her father and her brother being dishonest to spare her feelings.
But when the new restaurant owned by rich folk from some faraway kingdom wanted to topple the family-owned businesses, Perrine felt dread at the thought of losing what she considered a sacred place. No more merriment and chatter amongst neighbors and relatives, the warmth of the community gone and replaced with staff you barely know and won’t interact with you unless it’s about product.
This made her realize that she wanted to keep this place as it was! It became her goal to work hard to show those elites that fancy products and luxurious buildings don’t express the closeness of their small community.

Academic History at DCA

Perrine is a 2nd Year Lagniappe student and is the aforementioned dorm’s current dorm leader.
Perrine was ecstatic to be chosen to go to such a prestigious academy and her enthusiasm made her a welcome sight amongst the sea of nervous freshmen students.

She was very pleased to find out that the dorm had a restaurant built in along with a smaller boat that serves as a travelling food truck.
Though it was tough for a while to balance dorm work and school work, the students took initiative to help her out and give her a breather. Perrine isn’t used to sitting still as she feels the need to do something, but she appreciates their help and it felt nice to have her hard work recognized and repaid.
In academics, she is mostly getting B grades with the occasional A at times she feels pumped. But of course her skills in culinary and handicraft are obviously exceptional.
Perrine didn’t struggle as much because she often joined study groups to learn more about the subjects. I guess it also helped that she allowed them to bring snacks to keep them from being fatigued too.

School Relationships

Perrine usually gets along with a lot of the students though there are a few that she would consider to be a part of her friend group.

Allison is her kitchen friend, she and her get together to create new and exciting dishes. Though Allison likes to add a bit of surprise to her food, such as candy that makes your hair change color or cupcakes that bounce around when you try to eat them. She gives her a lot of ideas for a new dish!

Cerule piqued Perrine’s interest when she realized she was a mermaid. She was curious to know what kind of foods she ate and how they would cook under the sea if they had no fire. Needless to say, Cerule is basically gambling her taste buds if she is picked to sample Perrine’s new dish. Most of the time it’s very good but there are times that she is weirded out by the combinations humans come up with.

Vidya took a liking to Perrine, which made the girl grab the opportunity to sample some authentic cuisine from the oasis kingdom. Vidya was also like a big sister to her, always giving her advice and reminding her that she has her own capabilities as well.

Jinlong and Elu’s sense of smell is much more sensitive compared to humans and thus they were enticed by the scent of spices wafting off Perrine. She can tell that they are curious and maybe a little bit hungry so one day she approached them with food in hand and an acquaintanceship started from there. Of course, she wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to learn more of their culture through food. Though they don’t have to tell her, Perrine can see through their manners and facial expressions that they have problems regarding family.

Perrine has lived in a tight knit neighborhood, so she would pick up on certain mannerisms. One struggles with a family’s opposition for her ambitions while the other struggles to brave the unknown for the sake of her family. Perrine doesn’t say it upfront though, it was none of her business but she wants them to realize that the academy can be a second home to them and the students as their second family.

Lillie is the party-loving socialite in the dorm, she livens up parties just by being there. Her form is based on Perrine’s love for her community. They celebrate holidays and birthdays together, the joy and laughter of those memories are what keep her motivated. However, Lillie isn’t always about parties, she lends an ear and gives words of encouragement to those who need it most. There are times that Perrine forgets to take care of herself, Lillie is there to remind her all the time to take care of herself. Fun shouldn’t be at the cost of one’s health.

Animal Companions

Big Tom

He is a tomato frog, but he is unusually big for something so small. His size is close to a bradley tomato more. He loves anything red and will eat them a lot but of course he loves tomatoes the most.
Big Tom can be seen snacking on all kinds of tomatoes, Perrine jokingly put him in a tomato basket when he was passed out in a food coma. It was kind of cute so Perrine takes pictures every time she does this.
Big Tom has an odd sprout on the top of his head, Perrine has no idea why it’s there but she suspects that because he stays in one place for a long-time greenery tends to grow on the skin. He really does look like a tomato with that sprout.

Big Tooth

He is an alligator that is often mistaken as a swamp monster with how much greenery is on his back due to staying in one place for too long. Big Tooth is not owned by Perrine, he’s just so fond of her that he might as well be adopted by her.
Though he is a wild animal, he has taken a liking to Perrine since she came to check on him once after hearing he had a toothache. After that, he always waits for her at the dorm to greet her and even wags his tail.
Big Tom likes to sunbathe on his head sometimes and Big Tooth doesn’t mind at all. Perrine is the one who named him “Big Tooth” because he was the largest alligator in the entire dorm.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Golden Spice” which allows her to see the properties of spices whether it be in the use of cooking or alchemy, she can immediately tell what their purpose is. Though not useful for offensive combat, it can be utilized for quality check as well as learning more about spices.
Perrine lucked out with her unique magic, so she keeps a notebook detailing the various uses and experiments she did on spices.
Perrine isn’t good in magift but she puts her unique magic to use even a little by distracting opponents with an enticing smell. She could conjure a scent spell relating to the spice she studied.
Plus, the spice can have different effects once it invades the sense of smell such as feeling drowsy or feeling riled up. Perfect for a distraction.
Other than that, she is also skilled in using fire and ice magic but once again, they are mostly used for cooking.

Familial Relationships

Elva Bousquet

The headstrong mother of the household and an excellent cook. She and her family used to be in poverty until she and her husband decided to start catering to small parties within their community. Word of their delicious food got so popular that they managed to start a restaurant and it inspired others to start businesses too.
So, their community became a popular tourist spot because of the shops and restaurants that are a part of the houses. She is one tough mama bear, her motto is always “No work, no eat!”. She made sure her children know that slacking off doesn’t produce results.

Jeremiah Bousquet

The father of the household who always has wise words to give. He knows hard work is important but reminds his children that if they work too hard then they’ll have no one to share their proud moments with.
He helped set up a catering business and the recipes used were from his mama who he remembered as a sassy old lady with a golden heart. He sometimes sings when he’s feeling happy that day, his children can hear him scat singing in the kitchen.
He’s a doting father to his children to the point he won’t comment if his children made a mistake in cooking and he’s too worried about their feelings to be truthful, his mother and wife shake their heads at him every time.

Grandma Hattie

Jeremiah’s mother who still loves to spoil her grandchildren and sit outside the porch. The customers are fond of her motherly nature and even laugh at her witty jokes, everyone affectionately calls her “Mawmaw”.
Even though she’s a sweet grandma, she can’t stand people who harass her family. She was about to take her walking stick and smack that rival restaurant owner who wanted to buy their house. She definitely dislikes those kinds of people, arrogant and puts their value on wealth.

Theodore Bousquet

The eldest son at the age of 23 who now owns the family restaurant after his parents retired, his dad still cooks but he has other employees who do the majority of the cooking. He’s a big guy with a scary-looking face but he is very nice and friendly with the customers.
Lately, he’s having trouble with the restaurant across the street that is owned by a rich company from abroad that looks down on them. But as the eldest, he needs to be strong, so he endures for their sake.

Ida Bousquet

The second youngest of the family at the age of 13 who is mute but can read lips easily and has her own sign language that only the family can understand. She is a sweet girl who loves to make dolls and play puppets with them with the other kids on the street.
Though she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and the rest of the family are wide-eyed at the words she would sign at someone she doesn’t like, such brutal honesty.

Dixie Bousquet

The youngest of the family at the age of 8 who is quite spunky and energetic, always running around the marshland to catch frogs. Her momma always tells her to let it go and she can’t keep it, so she just borrows her dad’s camera to take pictures instead, though she still tries to catch them again but doesn’t bring them home this time.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Perrine” means “rock" or “stone” while her last name “Bousquet” comes from the old French word “bois” meaning “the woods”. The last name just sounded fitting so there was no other thought behind the selection other than aesthetic.
• Perrine was tricky to work with since her previous personality was almost a copy-paste of Tiana. Phoenix decided to just make her a culinary artist who can make something delicious or absurd as one of her personality traits to separate her from her counterpart.
• Phoenix was a bit at odds with the character designs considering the time period and working with the darker skin tone is a bit different. But this would also be a good practice on working with skin tones.

When her enrollment in Diamond Crown Academy was announced, her mother’s council immediately disagreed out of fear of outsiders and rejected any idea of outside knowledge ruining their traditions.
Prior to her departure to DCA, her mother entrusted her with a magical amulet that was said could grant powers to anyone who wears it.

Pre DCA Life

Sophie is the daughter of Queen Meredith. The sole ruler of her home kingdom, Enchantis, and she is next in line for the throne. Though her future is set in stone, her mother always made time for her and was very involved in her royal education.
Her kingdom is called Enchantis, a castle built on a large island surrounded by other large islands where villages and towns are built. She has step siblings who are twins. She was very welcoming to her new family members though she has to constantly remind her step-brother that being royalty comes with responsibility.
Her kingdom houses plenty of artifacts that are very old, one of them was a magical amulet that could grant powers to anyone who wears it. The amulet is now in Sophie’s possession and she promises her mother that she will guard it responsibly.
Sophie didn’t expect her mother to remarry, and to a commoner of all people. She was surprised when her mother told her about marrying the man named Ryland. Sophie supported her mother’s new love while the council voiced their objection.
Despite the council’s arguments, Meredith and Ryland got married and he becomes the new king. Though the newlyweds decided to let Meredith rule as she always did while Ryland takes care of the smaller tasks like hosting events and charities.
As for Ryland’s children, Jemma and Amir, they were announced as the new prince and princess alongside their father. Amir was ecstatic in his new life as he always dreamed what it would be like to live in the palace. While Jemma was a bit hesitant and anxious since she might be forced to behave a certain way and thinks that the nobles would look down on them.
Sophie, being the helpful girl, assisted in her new siblings’ adjustment to the palace. Constantly reminding Amir that though it is luxurious it comes with a responsibility and would always remind him to not let wealth and power shape his identity.
As for Jemma, Sophie would cover for her when she slips up during fancy parties. Though Sophie doesn’t know what life is like as a commoner, she can understand the feeling of not wanting to leave the life you’re familiar with.
As for Ryland, he was just as nervous as Sophie was in terms of trying to get along. They overthink about what to say or how to behave around the other. By the time they both realized they were fretting over nothing they had a good laugh. Her stepfather was actually a nice guy who shares the open-mindedness like her mother.
Though when her father needs help organizing events, Sophie is there to provide her opinion on what the latest trends are. Ryland is thankful for her help.
Overall, the new family members are slowly adjusting to the new life as royals and Sophie finally has more company when her mother is too busy.

Childhood

Sophie remembers her mother would show her old journals of an ex-royal who left the kingdom to discover the outside world. It was forbidden by the council to possess any outside knowledge, but Sophie’s mother thought it was harmless. So, the queen lets Sophie read the journal in secret.
This gave Sophie this wonder of what the world would be like if she were to leave the kingdom one day. A part of her is hesitant to speak up about her desire to see what’s beyond the kingdom. due to the council’s insistence.
And when her step family moved in, she had quite the shock at trying to handle two twins who are such polar opposites. There may be some disagreements, but they are as close as family could be.

Academic History at DCA

She is diligent and hopeful, never gives up on a task until it is done. Though she needs to learn how to lean onto others for support when she needs it. During the first few weeks of the school, Filly and the other animals were the only ones she’d talk to. Hopefully she’d talk and make friends with the other students.
The first few months have had her frozen in shock. Like the floating teapots that were rioting at the time. The explosion of glitter from one of Ella’s creative processes. The monkeys who nearly stole her necklace when she went to Magiaoasis and even the brawl between teachers and the students secretly betting on said teachers.
Her face was just frozen into perpetual terror at the sight.
She currently has a hard time trying to adjust to a lot of culture shock. It may be hard, but she’s trying at least…

Animal Companions

Filly

She is a cocker spaniel with pink ears and tail, with pinkish white fur. She was given to Sophie as a childhood present and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Filly has a love for ribbons because Sophie would always have a box of ribbons ready for her. The dog is quite touchy about anyone trying to touch her precious ribbons.

Zenius

He is a Pegasus in Enchantis who was given to Sophie on her 12th birthday and she raised him as her flying companion for the kingdom’s derby racing.
Zenius is eager to race to the skies but he tends to be quite bashful towards onlookers which sometimes cuts his focus. Which often led him to falling from the sky mid-flight.
Despite his bumbling mistakes, Sophie still cherishes him as her friend and racing horse. He wasn’t brought to DCA until a few months into the semester because he was getting anxious.

Magical Abilities

Sophie has no unique magic yet.
As for magical skills, she has a decent amount of magic meant for daily life such as levitation spells and repair spells.
The spell Sophie likes to use the most are spells that soothe her nerves. They come out as little lilac flowers that float around her head and dissolve. It's what helps her step-siblings calm down or when she’s having trouble thinking straight due to the stress.
As for combat, she only knows defensive spells as well as average dispelling for curses. Anything that involves direct combat is beyond her capabilities.
She has a telepathic connection to her amulet called, Avaloria.

Familial Relationships

Meredith Fascinare

The queen and mother of Sophie, she is a benevolent ruler who is more open-minded than the council. She always jokes with Sophie that she thinks they’re always so grumpy they might end up looking like trolls. She is calm and patient with others and would always hear out both sides before speaking her opinion.

Ryland Fascinare

The step-father of Sophie who used to work as a jeweler in a small village. It wasn’t until he was asked to present a gift for the queen along with the other citizens that he fell for the queen at first sight.

The younger twin who is also 12. She likes to run around and play knight with the other boys back at the village. She finds being royalty a bit difficult but she tries her best when she sees Sophie trying hard too. She dreams of becoming a knight one day.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Sophie” is a variation of the name she was twisted from which is Sofia from Sofia the first. Her last name “Fascinare” is from the word fascinating. There is no other reason the artist used this name other than to make it sound fancy enough for royalty.
• Sophie was going to have several abilities after every overblot was resolved much like how Sofia gains more abilities in her amulet like being able to shrink or turn into any animal she sees. But Phoenix is still brainstorming this idea.
• Phoenix also wanted to make Sophie’s story in the future be a variation of Overblot since she wants to make an antagonist that will be her adversary. This part is still being brainstormed.

Her family may be a bit odd but they are well respected for having so many students to sign up for their classes and getting good grades. They are also of nobility so they are always invited to gatherings and parties.
Ottilie was just as whimsical as her parents, which often made her stick out among other children. But it’s not like anyone could say anything when Ottilie was more well-behaved than most children.

Childhood

Ottilie once experienced the cruelty of nature when she released a wild rabbit she fostered when it was injured, just a few meters away a Hawk flew down and snatched it. She cried for a week and even made a crude drawing of the rabbit and placed it on a fake grave her parents made just to make her feel better. Her parents won’t let her live it down and would always tell guests and friends about it, Ottilie is embarrassed from being reminded.

Academic History at DCA

Ottilie tends to be a bit unpredictable when it comes to incantations and alchemy. She is never one to follow the rules and tends to go into a different direction. It always ends with a chaotic scenario… mostly scent related.
Despite her mishaps, she doesn’t struggle with most of her subjects thanks to her parents who were both teachers. But not a lot of students ask for her notes despite her excellent academic skills because… all of her notes are indecipherable. Littered with riddles and scribbles that make no sense to none other than Ottilie.

Animal Companion

Squeaks

Her pet is a Hickory Horned Devil Caterpillar that makes a lot of squeaking noises. Ottilie has a terrarium purse to always carry Squeaks around in.
Unlike other animal companions, Squeaks cannot be heard talking even by other animals oddly enough. But Ottilie can understand his squeaking as if they were words with no problem.
Squeaks is just as odd as his owner. Like a synchronized being, Squeaks gestures when Ottilie gestures.

Magical Abilities

Her unique magic is called “Shroomy Sprout”. Just by touching a patch of dirt, she can grow mysterious mushrooms with a variety of effects.
Every mushroom always changes from every little thing she does such as what food she ate, how she felt and even if she was sick. The mushrooms don’t stay there for long and will disappear in a puff of smoke after 10 minutes if not used.
Ottilie tends to use these mushrooms to make special perfumes that have different after effects depending on what mushroom she used. This type of perfume is not all that popular due to its unpredictability. They were probably used for pranks by a certain someone.

Familial Relationships

Ignacio Phosia

A Mathematics professor who is fascinated with numbers so much that he arranges his belongings in a certain amount if one plays close attention. His study is his perfectly counted space, he doesn’t like it if the number of items is in disarray. So, he is the only one who can clean his study and no one can enter without permission.
He manages the house budget of course due to his love for numbers. Many would often consult him about finances despite his eccentric personality. Ignacio is quite friendly and outgoing.
But despite being seen with a goofy grin, his smile turns into a scowl if his family is insulted in any way. Other than numbers, he can count the number of flaws and failures of a person he wanted to. Fear the nice ones, as they say.
Ottilie often gives him perfume, bottled herbs and caterpillar eggs as gifts. Ignacio keeps them in his study in the highest shelf where you could see but not reach.

Calix Phosia

She was known to be a popular woman who was often sought out by bachelors to wed. But she fell for Ignacio for being whimsical instead of vying for her status and reputation. She just loved how absurd he was and being such a gentleman on top of that.
She was the one who read poems to Ottilie when she was a child. Which is how Ottilie developed a certain love for the whimsical wonders.

Character Trivia

• The character’s name “Ottilie” came from a Google search for the most unique sounding names, while her last name “Phosia” was made up from the word metamorphosis.
• Ottilie’s first design was confusing. The pigtail-curl hairstyle was hard to draw repeatedly.
• She was meant to be the weird one of the first-year group. She was supposed to have a butterfly as a pet but instead was given the largest caterpillar, the Hickory Horned Devil.
