Divus Crewel

When he stumbled along a sleeping and rather dirty child in a crater after witnessing the odd meteor shower last night, he was understandably concerned and cautious. He immediately did what any adult would and took you to the police first. When he learned that last night's cosmic event had several children just like you falling out of the sky and into a new realm with no one else, he was even more confused.

It made no sense to him! Just how does a random child from another dimension fall out of the sky? What about their actual parents? They must be worried sick.

With how things were at the time, Crewel was asked if he was able to temporarily house the child until they are done investigating so they do not overwhelm the system with a bunch of homeless kids. Crewel was a bit annoyed at first- some help they were, but he wasn't just going to leave a child all on their own.

It was there where he drew a bath for your filthy self, muttering curses about his now dirty gloves as he stripped you of clothing and dunked you in the tub. All you remember was the aromatic smells of high-end body wash and the aggressive scrubbing of your skin and brushing of your hair before you're pulled out and wrapped in a towel. The clothes you were in before are now in the wash.

Crewel never thought he was meant for kids. They were messy and annoying and gross. He honestly was looking forward to the day he can finally boot you out to someone that could actually look after you. Or so he thought.

As the days went on with the investigation he got to know you better. You sat on his lap as he goes through some paperwork, mess-free markers in your stubby hands as you scribble on your page. Your babbling grabs his attention as he glances over at your page. It was a crude drawing of you and him smiling and holding hands. His heart melted at the sight.

Before he knew it he was attached. He couldn't bear to give you away. Next thing he knew he was a foster parent for an alien baby.

Crewel was a strict but loving dad. He pushes you to do your best but never to an unhealthy degree. Definitely, a self-care dad that will cut you up some lil slices of fruit as you study. He also oddly acts as your best friend at times when you both gossip about certain students. It's kinda funny.

He's definitely a wine dad and very supportive and trusting. He very much respects your privacy and your space so you feel like you can open up to him about anything. You're gay? So is he. You're trans? Well, we better get shopping for the latest and trendiest clothing.

Speaking of which. You are taught both fashion and manners at a very young age. No kid of his is gonna not gonna know how to dress (especially if they were closeted, you didnt spend ur time in there to not know how to dress). As a potionology professor, you are also taught everything he knows.

You were (most likely) magicless which makes you vulnerable. So he's gonna teach you all he knows about potions so you can protect yourself in the future. Even as a kid you were taught all kinds of different formulas. Crewel would even make his own medicine for you when you got sick.

How you got into NRC? It's unknown. Maybe you applied and somehow got in because of your potion skills. Maybe you fell asleep in your room and somehow got kidnapped and put into a black carriage as you slept. This led to a very surprised wine dad who was wondering what the hell you were doing here and was on his way to go and lecture (your other father) Crowley.

You're a Prefect now so cool? Crewel is not impressed at the state of the dorm, or that awful influence called Grim that tried to burn the place down on your first day. But he will say he's proud that you are a Prefect of your own rather small dorm. Maybe NRC will soon accept other talented yet magicless students like yourself? 

In NRC you are one of the few students he doesn't refer to as whelp because you are his lovely child. Some students try to get close to you cause of this, but thankfully your dad taught you the art of sass and self-defense.

Overall he's an amazing dad that will always have your best interest in mind and WILL drop kick a student that tries to harass you. You have an easier time handing overblots with him lecturing Crowley on not leaving a STUDENT to the headmages work.

Bonus: he definitely will threaten to "return you to the sky where you came from" if you've been bad. Also, you get a lot of DILF comments and it makes you want to die.

Mozus Trein

Oh boy… At least he's very experienced with kids. It was actually his daughters who found you. For the sake of making things simple, we will call them Ana and Drizel, considering he's based on Cinderella's stepmother. His wife shall be Lady Tremaine Trein.

It surprised Mrs. and Mr. Trein to see their daughters in the bathroom bathing and dressing up an actual baby. A baby. Not a dog, an actual baby. Where did you come from- no we can't keep it where are their parents?! You found them outside in the backyard?!

Well, they weren't lying. Just beyond the backyard of their home was a massive cater with a toddler-shaped hole. After hearing the news about how apparently children were raining from the sky he was confused about what to do at first. He and his wife did take care of you for a bit.

During all the time Ana and Drizel were basically treating you like their own sibling. You were now their dress-up doll and playmate! Your new sisters absolutely coddled you and were heartbroken when they heard mom and dad say that might not keep you. 

When the day came when the couple were deciding to keep you, they saw the heartbroken looks of their daughters as they prepared to say goodbye. That is when the Treins' decided that you shall stay.

It doesn't matter your gender at all. With two older sisters, it is time for dress-up and make-up. You. Will. Wear. The. Dress. It actually isn't a bad bonding moment either. You all choose different clothing and makeup for each other. 

Ana will beat up anyone that dares hurt any of her siblings and is always there to bail you out of trouble or sneak things like extra candy. Drizel on the other hand is a total drama queen that loves gossip. She is always there to lift you up however with lots of compliments and doesn't let you talk yourself down at all. They love you very much and you love them.

Mama Trein or rather, Lady Tremaine was a very classy and old-fashioned lady that believed heavily in traditional values such as poisoning your worst enemies and exacting vengeance on anyone who wrongs you. She taught you all manners, proper etiquette on all sorts of subjects, how to dress, and most importantly how to backhand anyone that dares to touch you or your sisters. Since you couldn't use magic to curse or hex, you learn from a young age how to fight and defend your sisters in hand to hand combat.

Mozus on the other hand, though just as strict, believed heavily in letting you and your sisters play as hard as you worked. He does expect a lot of great things from all three of you and makes sure you all study for school. You learn to take good notes and how to write perfect college essays from him.

Despite how intimidating the couple looked. They were loving and sweet. You, your sisters, and your many many cats were raised with lots of love and care. From balanced meals to family time you never felt out of place. No one would believe that the super prestigious and strict Mozus Trein would tell the best bedtime stories. Or how Lady Tremaine would sing the most precious lullabies. Or how both of them were so happy when Drizel 'came out', with them it never felt as though you had to.

It was like a knife in your heart when your beloved mother died. All of you went through a period of mourning. Seeing your sisters so sad hurt even more. From then on you decided you would do everything you can do to see them smile again. You swore even harder to protect them.

The day comes that you are taken to NRC. And even then you still send old-fashioned letters and texts to Ana and Drizel about your time here, sparing no details as you tell them your most recent adventure.

Ashton Vargas

When the man found you in the outskirts of town in a crater, he was surprised by just how strong you were. You were just a toddler yet here you were sleeping as if you didn't just fall out of the sky. Such talent would be wasted if he just let someone else have you, plus he won't lie, you're quite cute and the way you coo at him made him attached.

He's the most jock dad ever. He definitely added protein powder to your meals as a kid and used you as his personal weight to curl. Loving at how you giggled with each curl. 

You have a very healthy diet, to say the least. You have definitely drunk raw eggs and survived off pre-workout at some point. Ashton is going to train you at a young age and encourage you to go outside as much as possible. Definitely signs you up for all kinds of sports. He trains with you too and sometimes is the coach of the games you play.

He's the most dadliest dad to ever dad. Definition of "don't touch the thermostat" and will get up at 5 am to mow the lawn. Also lots of grill days. Man's gotta grill, you know? Meat is good protein now come over here and he'll teach you his secret steak recipe. While we wait let's have a friendly arm wrestle and see who got stronger.

He does encourage you to push your limits in strength but lectures you to not ignore your body. As long as you get passing grades and you're happy, he's happy. Don't think physical activity is the only thing he teaches you. He's an older gentleman and has had to learn lessons the hard way in the past.

"Now listen here son/young one, remember that if a boy or girl says no to you it means no. Do not try to change their mind, okay?" Cringes at his younger years when he tried to convince girls to get with him and doesn't want that to happen again.

He's proud of you when you get into NRC no matter how. Not only does he get to see his kid more, but he also has his training buddy! He does expect you to join some sort of sports club, preferably basketball so you both can have more bonding time. All in all, you are probably buff from having protein at a young age but are a respectful softie at heart. Ashton Vargas, though a bit eccentric, isn't raising any delinquents.

Sam

Arguably the best one to be found by. He doesn't freak out or anything. His friends from the other side told him all about how the sky will fall. He wasn't expecting a child to come out of the sky, however.

Sam has no trouble taking you in, plus his spirit friends seem to like you too. He'll run the shop with a baby in his arms with no problem, even better, his customers have not started adding tips and buying more to help support his newest addition to the family. You're quite the good luck charm, eh kid?

You are never without supervision as a kid. Even if he's not in the room his shadow and ghost friends are there to entertain and rock you to sleep. They adore you.

The good thing about being a shop owner and having so much in stock is that it was no trouble to get materials for you. Cribs? All the latest models. Baby food? Comes in 150 varieties for each different race: human, merfolk, etc. Toys? Yup!

As you get older he acts more like a brother than a father but you don't mind. He's very laid back and has a lot of trust in you. He knows you won't do anything bad, you're a good kid! And if you did, his friends would tell him.

He encourages you to be adventurous and try things out for yourself. He won't let you do anything dangerous such as touching fire, he would even demonstrate why you can't play with it. However, potions or materials around the shop? Go right ahead and create something, kid! He'll be right by your side. The only rule is to tell him when you're going out and to be back in time for dinner together. Yes, he will not start without you. You eat as a family, okay?

Very practical dad. Teaches you everything he knows but also lets you make discoveries of your own. He teaches you how to make a good gumbo and how to handle a knife correctly, but allows you to experiment with spices and combinations to find your own style.

This doesn't just apply to food. He teaches everything about his magic and spirits too. He'll show you how to properly do tarot along with other spells. Even if you don't have magic, he gives you your own magical tarot deck to guide you with some more difficult decisions. Sam also teaches you how to communicate with spirits. You may not be able to do magic but they sure can. 

You now always have a few spirits and shadow families with you. Combine that with your knowledge of all sorts of magic and potions and bam. You're now one of the very few beat tamers Twisted Wonderland has to offer.

Once you get older you learn how to run the shop. Usually, you used to help him haggle customers and sell more items, who can say no to your adorable face? Now that you're older, you help your father by restocking the shelves and offering your own services to customers. You probably roped your very first customer into making a deal with the other side and had an amazing duet and celebratory lunch afterward. 

You were able to get into NRC much differently. Crowley said himself that beast tamers were very rare and good ones were rarer. Yet here you were with a few shadows at your side able to tame even the most unruly beast. From a few dragons to birds or dogs, animals seem to follow and listen to you everywhere. 

Though you may (or may not) be magicless, NRC accepted you with the condition that you would have to be in the Ramshackle dorm. Though Sam has a shop on campus when the carriage came for you you both had a super dramatic hug and goodbye before he waves you off "Come on kiddo time for you to go! aww, they grow up so fast.." 

A perfect orientation was ruined by an unruly beast, Grim, who set everything on fire. Thankfully, you were able to demonstrate your ability to both tame and subdue beasts in front of everyone. Your shadows leaped out to hold the tanuki down as you used one of your talismans to calm down the beast. Your smaller dragon friends made sure to hold onto Grim as a few magical shadows of yours helped to clean up the mess.

The Mirror rejected you, yes, the art of beast taming was long lost. However, Crowley came up and made an announcement, that you would be starting a new dorm with that off tanuki you just tamed and possibly be the start of a new dorm that doesn't rely on magic, but rather on friends. Yes you got some laughs, and you know many would doubt your abilities to lead or do well, but you'll be damn sure to do your best.

The minute you're done with orientation, you go to tell Sam about it. He immediately congratulates you and goes to hug you, offering to help you fix up the old dorm at least with a decent room to sleep in. It's nice to be so close to your only family. You occasionally pop into the shop to help run it and talk to Sam about everything that's been going on.
