Twisted Wonderland

HEARTSLABYUL Date of Birth: August 24 (Virgo) Age: 17 Height: 160 cm Appearance: Short, bright red hair with two strands shaped like hearts; grey eyes. He has a slender, petite frame. Personality: Extremely strict, perfectionistic, and obsessed with the Queen of Hearts' laws. He has an explosive temper (he literally turns red with rage). Deep down, this behavior is the result of an abusive, overprotective upbringing by his mother. He is the Dorm Leader (Prefect) of Heartslabyul and the most disciplined student. Uniform: Wears the regulation black blazer with the Heartslabyul armband, standing out for his impeccable posture. As leader, his dorm uniform features a stylish red, white, and black jacket with intricate gold embroidery, tall boots, and a miniature crown. Class: 2-E (Seat 26) Likes: Strawberry tarts, herbal tea, studying, and maintaining absolute order. Family: Comes from a strict, renowned family of magical doctors. His mother controlled every minute of his life, from his diet to his study hours. Unique Magic: 'Off With Your Head!' Upon activation, a heart-shaped collar seals the target’s neck, completely blocking their ability to use magic. Trivia: The top-ranking student of his year. He hates foods with excess artificial sugar or those that violate etiquette rules. Backstory: Born into a strict, prestigious family of magical doctors, his life was mathematically and microscopically controlled by his mother from childhood. During a short period in his youth, Riddle would secretly escape through his window to play with his neighbors, the Clover brothers (Trey and Chenya), who introduced him to strawberry pastries and everyday fun. When his mother discovered this transgression after a minor delay in his study schedule, she forbade him from leaving and cut all contact with them, intensifying his isolation. Riddle internalized that the only way to be loved and not disappoint those around him was absolute obedience to the rules. Upon entering Night Raven College, he challenged the previous Heartslabyul leader during his first week and defeated him easily with his prodigious intellect, assuming the crown and replicating the same punitive, high-pressure system under which he was raised.

HEARTSLABYUL Date of Birth: October 25 (Scorpio) Age: 18 Height: 181 cm Class: 3-E (Seat 4) Appearance: Short olive-green hair, wears black-rimmed glasses. Has a black clover-shaped mark painted under his right eye. Solid physical build. Uniform: Wears it impeccably and maturely; exudes the vibe of an older brother or grad student. Personality: Calm, kind, observant, and extremely mature. Acts as the mediator and moral compass of Heartslabyul, cushioning Riddle's punishments. However, he can sometimes be subtly manipulative and prefers a background role to avoid the spotlight. Likes: Baking (he is an expert pastry chef), cleaning the kitchen, obsessively brushing his teeth, and sweets that aren't too sugary. Family: His parents own a traditional bakery in the human world. Has younger siblings he constantly took care of. Unique Magic: 'Doodle Suit'. He can temporarily rewrite the characteristics or properties of an object (e.g., changing the flavor of a savory tart to strawberry, or changing the color of a substance). Trivia: Riddle’s childhood friend; he feels partially responsible for Riddle's rigidity for not intervening in his upbringing earlier. Backstory: The son of artisan bakers from the Rose Kingdom, Trey spent his childhood caring for his younger siblings and learning the fundamentals of magical chemistry and baking. His life was tied to Riddle's during his youth; however, when Riddle’s mother discovered their escapes, Trey adopted a passive stance to avoid worsening the situation. This decision caused him long-term remorse. Upon entering the academy, he naturally assumed the role of Vice Housewarden and the 'older brother' of Heartslabyul, acting as the social buffer between the dorm leader’s anger and the punished students, preferring to operate from the shadows.

HEARTSLABYUL Date of Birth: February 4 (Aquarius) Age: 18 Height: 176 cm Class: 3-B (Seat 5) Appearance: Light orange hair, styled fashionably with a half-bun. Has an orange diamond mark on his left cheek. Always has his smartphone in hand. Uniform: Follows fashion trends; uses subtle accessories and wears the uniform in a stylized but regulation-compliant way. Personality: Superficially, the typical cheerful guy obsessed with social media (especially MagiCam), hyperactive and chatty. However, this is a facade: Cater is secretly apathetic, hates deep drama, finds monotony boring, and uses his charisma to keep people at a safe emotional distance. Likes: Taking photos, spicy food (like spicy ramen), staying on top of gossip and social media. Hates sweets. Family: Has two older sisters who often boss him around, which fueled his distaste for intense family dynamics. Unique Magic: 'Split Card'. Allows him to create multiple exact clones of himself. He can use them to do chores, clean the dorm, or fight, though maintaining them consumes a lot of magical energy. Trivia: Despite his party-boy attitude, he is extremely perceptive and is the one who actually handles the dorm's daily logistics behind the scenes. Backstory: Due to his father's job, Cater’s family moved almost every year. This constant geographical instability, combined with the presence of two bossy older sisters who used him as a shopping assistant and fashion model, shaped his defense mechanism: a chameleon-like and detached personality. He learned that deep emotional connections were useless if he was going to leave soon, so he adopted social media culture and superficiality as a protective shield to keep everyone at a distance.

HEARTSLABYUL Birthday: September 23 (Libra) Age: 16 Height: 172 cm Class: 1-A (Seat 25) Appearance: Short, messy, reddish-brown hair. He has a red, upside-down heart mark over his left eye. Bright reddish-brown eyes. Uniform: Worn very casually; the white shirt collar is messy, he leaves his necktie loose, and the school vest pokes out from under his black jacket. Personality: Bold, sociable, a bit mischievous, and very direct. He has no filter when speaking his mind (which often gets him into trouble with Riddle). Clever, but tends to seek the easiest path to avoid hard work. Despite his cynical attitude, he is a loyal friend in critical moments. Likes: Card tricks, hamburgers, sports, and teasing Deuce. Family: Has an older brother who also attended Night Raven College and taught him card magic tricks. Unique Magic: Has not yet manifested a personal unique magic, but excels in the agile use of wind elemental magic. Trivia: Excellent at reading the room and people's intentions, making him an expert social psychologist (though he uses this ability for his own benefit). Backstory: Ace Trappola He grew up in the Rose Kingdom under the influence of his older brother, a former academy student who constantly taught him card tricks and passed down a cynical but pragmatic view of school dynamics. Ace developed exceptional social acuity, learning to read people's intentions to avoid unnecessary effort or direct conflict. His entry into the academy was marked by a search for status and comfort, but his vocal nature and disdain for irrational authority figures immediately caused him to clash with the dormitory's rigid structure.

HEARTSLABYUL Date of Birth: June 3 (Gemini) Age: 16 Height: 173 cm Class: 1-A (Seat 24) Appearance: Dark blue hair, straight and well-combed. Has a blue spade mark over his right eye. Turquoise eyes. Uniform: Unlike Ace, he wears his uniform very neatly and correctly, buttoned to the top, trying to project the image of a model student. Personality: Serious, stubborn, and with a strong sense of duty. Aspires to become an 'exemplary mage' to make his mother proud. However, he used to be a juvenile delinquent; when pushed too far or angered, his tough personality, violent vocabulary, and street instincts emerge. Likes: Motorcycles, home-cooked food (especially stews), and physical exercise. Family: Raised solely by his single mother, whom he loves deeply and for whom he decided to change his criminal ways. Unique Magic: 'Bet The Limit'. Allows him to absorb the damage or magical attacks of an opponent and then return them multiplied with double the physical or magical force. Trivia: Terrible at theoretical subjects and alchemy, but shines in athletics. Confused easily by complex metaphors. Backstory: Spent his adolescence in the Rose Kingdom as a classic juvenile delinquent. Feeling frustrated by his academic inability and the lack of a father figure, he joined street gangs, participating in brawls and riding magical motorcycles at high speeds. The turning point in his life was witnessing his mother crying secretly over a phone call, overwhelmed and blaming herself for her son's destructive path. Touched by guilt, Deuce cut ties with his past, cut his rebellious hair, and swore to become an 'exemplary mage'. He was accepted into Night Raven College, where he struggles daily to suppress his violent instincts.

SAVANACLAW Birthday: July 27th (Leo) Age: 20 (held back a year) Height: 185 cm Class: 3-A (Seat 13) Note: Has repeated a year. Appearance: Imposing stylized anthropomorphic lion features. Long, dark brown hair, partially braided. Green feline eyes with a vertical scar over his left eye. Brown lion ears and tail. School Uniform: Extremely disheveled. Wears his jacket unbuttoned or draped over his shoulders; shirt left open to show his chest; leather accessories. Personality: Extremely lazy, arrogant, brilliant yet apathetic. Spends his time napping in any sunny corner. Suffers from a deep inferiority complex disguised as superiority, stemming from being the second prince in his kingdom, destined to never inherit the throne behind his older brother, Farena. A tactical genius whenever he chooses to put in the effort. Likes: Taking naps, raw or very juicy meat, magic chess, and peace and quiet. Hates vegetables. Family: Second prince of the Sunset Savanna. Has a strained relationship with his brother Farena, but harbors a hidden and begrudging affection for his little nephew Cheka. Unique Magic: King's Roar. Upon chanting a spell, he can reduce anything he touches to dust and complete dryness, turning organic and inorganic matter into sand (evoking drought). Trivia: Despite his laziness, he possesses encyclopedic knowledge of ancient magic and international law. Backstory: Leona Kingscholar Born as the second prince of the Sunset Savanna, Leona was blessed with immense tactical intelligence and magical power. However, his kingdom's law of monarchical succession dictates that the firstborn, his brother Farena, is the rightful heir. Since childhood, servants, nobility, and the court looked at him with pity or suspicion, assuming his existence would only bring dynastic discord. This systematic marginalization destroyed his inner motivation. With the birth of his nephew Cheka, his chances of ascending the throne vanished entirely. At Night Raven College, his tremendous potential was stalled by his own apathy; he became a chronic student who deliberately repeats years, preferring to sleep and rule his dormitory from the shadows rather than strive in a world he considers rigged against him.
