The more and more I think about my headcanon of Anadil being the daughter of the white queen and Cheshire Cat from Alice in wonderland the more I love it.
The whole thing about the Cheshire Cat is that he is just basically negligent. Like in the whole of Alice in wonderland I always got the feeling that he so knew what was going on and totally could have done something about but instead just choose to watch only helping when absolutely necessary. He was enjoying the chaos and had no intention of actually being useful at all.
Same is kinda true for the White queen like she so could have dealt with half the issues by herself but she instead saw an opportunity to manipulate someone and she took it.
This is how i imagine Anadil. She does not care as long her, Hester and Dot aren’t in danger then she couldn’t care less. I get the impression that she isn’t really actually friends with the others like she kinda like Agatha but that is it.
The only times she actually interferes is if Hester asks her too and even then it is just the rats and it is the bare minimum.
This becomes even more prominent because I headcanon that she also inherited her parents and aunts special talents because they found true love and became sister love each other that makes her powerful or something like that.
I was trying to work out what their talents would have been and kinda came to this conclusion:
White Queen: she is all powerful when ever she sings - reason being I see her as just a more successful version of Sophie (which is why Anadil hates Sophie because to her she is just a ‘discount version’ of her mother) her whole thing is making people believe she is good so that they trust her completely but then only to find out that her and her sister were in on it together the whole time. So the concept of singing is a very ever thing and kinda goes with that idea.
Red Queen/ Queen of heats (technically different people in the original Alice in wonderland but I don’t care) : human ventriloquism. She can literally control people as if they were puppets, only one person at a time unless you make her a promise then she can control more then one person, until you fufill the promise- reason IDK vibes
Cheshire Cat: evaporating - reasons self explanatory.
I like the idea that Anadil inherited all of them but just doesn’t use them. Partly because she doesn’t want people knowing who she is but also because she just enjoys the chaos that is going on.
I also really like the idea in ever after high that people from wonderland can hear narrators that just tell them everything that is going on at any given time.
The fact that Anadil also had this is what makes the whole thing so perfect like she knew everything from the beginning. She knew what Evelyn sader was up to, she knew that Chadwick was Tedros brother from day one she knew what the snake and lion were up to. She could have stopped everything that happened in the book but where’s the fun in that. Instead she just used them to make sure that neither Hester, her or Dot were in danger then did nothing else.
She could have gotten out of the jail cell in book 5 but the narrator had already told her that Agatha was on her way and would get them out so she did nothing.
It is so funny to me cause I feel like both Hester and Dot knew about this which is why none of them were ever actually scared or actually in danger at all throughout the book.
I do still think that despite Anadil’s 4 special talents Hester could still win in a fight against Anadil. Anadil was just not a henchman and was decently better that Ravan and Sophie.
The reason I still think that Hester would win is because I don’t think her talent is that she just has a demon that comes to life. I think she has a gardian demon and her tattoo is just one part of that. The other part is that she is immune to all spells potions and talents, which actually makes sense given the fact that the only time she actually gets hurt is via a dagger and is never actually effected by anything else. Second I like the idea that when she touches you you can’t use your talents. Mainly just because I like the idea of Anadil trying to vanish and Hester grabbing her and stopping her like if I have to stay then so do you.
Most of this I did make up but it does actually work with cannon and since we don’t get enough about Anadil’s personality I will have to make it up myself
