Thank you for the ask~! 💙 I've been left to my own devices, so here are a bunch.

DIANA-SAMAR

The first ones who came to mind - they share some similarities, given that they both care about the environment and are quiet by nature. Diana has a tendency to act like a big sister to those around her, so she would most likely have the same attitude towards Samar, regardless of whether he accepts the care or not. Since they're both rather cunning they would have a lot of talk about, and I can see Diana inviting him over to Monarchia to enjoy the company of the creatures and nature in peace.

For some reason, I can imagine them having very monosyllabic conversations and instead spend of the time in silence, with maybe Falguni interfering and trying to start a conversation, haha!

BLANCHE/KORE-MASON

Another fun pair that immediately came to mind! Blanche tends to be more reserved than Riddle, but quite strict as well, which I feel would make her an interesting target for his teasing. Though most of her reactions are very subdued, with the most obvious being when her ears go completely straight and her tail twitches when she's surprised. I also feel like they could bond over their abusive families, especially their poor relationship with their fathers, or at least sympathize with each other. Blanche tends to take his pranks less seriously, mostly because she thinks it's undignified to react too strongly.

With Kore I imagine a similar thread of children with bad childhoods finding a kindred spirit. Kore's a bit more naive when it comes to other people's intentions, so she would be easily tricked by whatever prank he's pulling. She'd get mad at first, though since she doesn't hold a grudge, she'd get over it rather quickly. She appreciates his other magic tricks much more and is very fascinated by the magic pockets that he has since they give him so much room to store things there. She might even ask for a custom one, like a sort of backpack and try to pay for it with vegetables.

ROSA-ADEUCE

A trio that is mostly set together for comedy cold. Since Rosa is a celebrity in the Rose Kingdom, and both are familiar with Sherbert Street, they'd immediately know who she was. Ace would try to endear himself to her so he could have a celebrity friend to 'spoil' him with gifts and such, but Rosa immediately sees through it and treats him the same as she does Cater - which is to say, with a lot of scorn and distaste. Deuce doesn't do much better since he asked her for an autograph as Cherry (it was for his mom, but he failed to mention that detail) so they're currently on her blacklist.

It gets way more comedic, however, once she and Jack start dating since Ace still tries to become her friend, thinking they would get close due to their association with Jack, except that it proves to be not the case at all. Jack comes to tell Ace a lot that he needs to leave his girlfriend alone, haha.

MARCIA-AZUL

They're fun because I see them as the sort of business rivals turned associates when the need strikes. They're mostly very 'pleasant' to one another, though wary, and while Azul is good at planning ahead, he tends to be taken aback by how shrewd and shameless Marcia can be with her negotiations. When they do collaborate, it's more likely than not that they just end up trying to pull a fast one over the other one and do their best to come out on top. It rarely works since they just end up self-sabotaging themselves and creating more problems than they initially hoped for.

BLANCHE/AGATHA-ROOK

Rook's interest in non-human students wouldn't... go well, haha. Blanche tends to just mostly ignore it even if it makes her uncomfortable and avoids him whenever on campus. Sometimes Riddle has to intervene and ask Rook to leave, which tends to work for the most part, though it does make Blanche less fond of Rook. The bigger problem is Agatha who becomes downright aggressive whenever Rook is near her. She is a pretty private person and doesn't like it when people are loud, which Rook tends to be quite often.

His greatest crime however is that he remarked upon her scarier attributes, rather than fawn over how 'cute' and 'adorable' she is. Rook keeps pointing out just how sharp her teeth are, and how vicious her gaze is and it's getting under Agatha's skin every time he points out these things. Rook was definitely threatened at least once with explosives.

VITA-MALLEUS

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

HALLOWEEN INTERVIEW - BLANCHE DION

SCENE I

[footsteps]

ALKIN: The library. This is where Dion's chamber lies. Grimmaire has always found itself at peace within those walls - but is it not too obvious for such an occasion? Never mind. Let us see what the children have planned.

[door creaking]

BLANCHE: Head Prefect. Greetings.

ALKIN: It seems that you have expected my arrival.

BLANCHE: Not at all. I am rather surprised to see you here - and in this form as well.

ALKIN: Hm. It seemed easier to move around if I had this form. Humans are... quite curious creatures after all.

BLANCHE: That is true. I would not think it is you either if I didn't happen to be already familiar with your form. A charm, perhaps?

ALKIN: Indeed. Your eyes are quite sharp, after all. That it is no less than I expected from you. It seems that the Halloween Event is going smoothly on your end.

BLANCHE: Yes. As you can see we have set up the library in such a way as to make perfect use of the environment and decor.

ALKIN: Mm. I assume the revolving staircases have been your idea?

BLANCHE: More or less. It is an old trick that I read about in a book once. By using mirrors and precise placement of bolts and shelves, the library gives off the impression that is endlessly reconstructing itself, much like the Grimmaire one.

ALKIN: When I was walking through it seemed as if an unknown force was guiding me through, indeed.

BLANCHE: Yes, it is meant to give off the impression of being haunted by a poltergeist - a creature specific to the Land of Pyroxene that enjoys causing disturbances without being seen - unlike our own ghosts.

ALKIN: Indeed, even the spirits back in my homeland enjoyed revealing themselves right before -

...

BLANCHE: Head Prefect?

ALKIN: ... Astra had always admonished me for being too macabre.

BLANCHE: I see. It must be a force of habit to follow a master's old orders, I suppose.

ALKIN: ... Habit. I guess it must be so.

Regardless, I am glad to see that your presentation has gone off without any trouble at all.

BLANCHE: Thank you... Or at least this is what I would have liked to say if it hadn't been for...

ALKIN: Did something happen after all?

BLANCHE: I suppose it could be considered that...

The matter is a bit more complicated.

ALKIN: Oh?

BLANCHE: It has to do with the group from Night Raven College.

ALKIN: ...

BLANCHE: In the interest of... fostering better relationships with the Heartslaybyul dorm, I have extended an invitation towards their dorm leader, Riddle Rosehearts, to visit our attraction during this period.

ALKIN: I see.

BLANCHE: ... It was strictly in the interests of the school. I have even impressed upon him the importance of bringing forth some of his dorm mates and...

ALKIN: Did he come alone then?

BLANCHE: No... Ace Trappola, Deuce Spade, Trey Clover and Cater Diamond accompanied him. They were supposed to come across me when they followed the path laid out before them. But it seemed that Cater had halted the group to take a series of pictures and through a couple of incidents they ended up stranded from one another. This was not supposed to happen, so I set off to reunite them. But when I came across Cater and Riddle...

ALKIN: Hm?

BLANCHE: My sudden appearance must have startled them. It seems that I even forgot the noose around my neck, so upon spotting me, Cater gave a rather deafening screech that took me by surprise and in my fall I had accidentally twisted my ankle.

ALKIN: Have you visited the nurse?

BLANCHE: Yes. Fortunately, both Nurse Da Luz and the medical staff were nearby so Riddle... um...

ALKIN: Yes?

BLANCHE: He... He was kind enough to escort me there. Though it was not necessary to carry me on his back as I surely could have managed by foot.

ALKIN: Hm, he is a disciplined child after all.

BLANCHE: He does embody the virtues of a chivalrous noble... Th-That would be my objective observation.

ALKIN: Hm.

SCENE II

ALKIN: The scene that you set up for the bride is rather...

BLANCHE: Expected?

ALKIN: So you have noticed.

BLANCHE: Perhaps. To be perfectly honest, when we were requested to imagine the tragedy that might have befallen the bride I was quite at a loss.

ALKIN: Is that so?

BLANCHE: Yes, it seemed to be rather unusual to be stuck in such a position as she was. Supposing that her lover had gone missing, should she not have organized a search party for his retrieval? Or perhaps even consulted a divinator of his fate. Supposing that the incident had taken place around 600 years ago, as it seems to be the case, the practice of using such magical means would have been still widespread. Surely, she could have handled the financial strain as well given her wealth and yet she didn't.

Instead, she simply continued to wait for his arrival without taking any motion herself... It is simply incomprehensible to me.

ALKIN: These sorts of stories rarely do make use of logic and reason.

BLANCHE: Yes, that is so. Yet, the more I thought about it the more it seemed to me that her fate must have borne a lot of resentment in the end. She was left to forever wonder what became of his whereabouts and even disappeared herself soon after. I imagine the circumstances couldn't have been peaceful at all.

ALKIN: Thus, the reason for a wrathful and resentful bride?

BLANCHE: Indeed. Having wasted her life in pursuit of a single man who might not even have been faithful to her... What a foolhardy notion. I could never abide by something like that.

ALKIN: ... Love is indeed a game of chance more often than not. If one is not careful they might lose themselves in the process.

BLANCHE: What a pitiful sight that might be.

ALKIN: ...

SCENE III

ALKIN: Your hat.

BLANCHE: Yes? Is there something odd with it?

ALKIN: No. I was merely thinking that Hatterson did a splendid job, after all.

BLANCHE: Indeed. He seems to be quite skilled in this regard. I shall have to properly thank him once the festivities are over.

ALKIN: You shall have plenty of time during the Halloween party after.

BLANCHE: Party?

ALKIN: Yes, the Headmistress has decided that in order to reward your efforts, such an activity might be best suited.

Is something the matter?

BLANCHE: No... I was merely contemplating how unusual it seemed.

ALKIN: Is that so? Morgainne has led me to believe that the Rose Kingdom holds this holiday in great prestige.

BLANCHE: I suppose that is true... But I have never been accustomed to such traditions.

ALKIN: Is that so?

BLANCHE: ... Our father is an important state official, thus we have been raised along to make sure we protect that sort of image. It is always required of us to act in the most dignified manner as model members of the hare subspecies.

ALKIN: ... Hm, I have heard rumours.

BLANCHE: Our father... he gave his all to removing the stain to our name. We are expected to follow in his footsteps. The Halloween celebrations that take place in the Rose Kingdom are... too rowdy. They're simply... unsuitable for the sort of upbringing we received.

ALKIN: Then - on Halloween?

BLANCHE: We studied or attended concerts. There might also be the occasional gala or father would insist us to attend.

ALKIN: So no festivities?

BLANCHE: Of course not... Though...

ALKIN: ?

BLANCHE: There had been one year that I had snuck out of the house to observe the festivities in the town plaza. It was truly wonderful. I had never imagined such wonderful sights could be so near to our house. Our father did not permit us to speak of them.

I had meant to only stay there for a moment, but I was so bewitched I lost track of time. By the time I had arrived home, my father was already waiting in the living room, with the lights on and reading the newspaper.

ALKIN: Hm, so you were scolded.

BLANCHE: ... That would have not been his style. He merely continued to read the newspaper in silence as I went to throw out the caramel apple I had purchased. I simply had no appetite for it any longer.

ALKIN: ...

BLANCHE: ... Please do not look so concerned. The silent treatment had only lasted for a week that time, so all in all I believe my father had not been that upset.

But I didn't dare to venture out anymore after that.

ALKIN: ... I see. Dion.

BLANCHE: Yes?

ALKIN: Trick or Treat?

BLANCHE: Um?

ALKIN: Trick or Treat?

BLANCHE: Um, I would pick treat but unfortunately I have no-

ALKIN: Here.

BLANCHE: ... Candy?

ALKIN: It is customary on this holiday, is it not?

BLANCHE: Yes, but you're not the one supposed to-

ALKIN: I shall continue my observation of the festivities then. There are still the others that I worry about.

BLANCHE: ... I understand. Thank you.

[door closes]

Thanks for the ask! :3c @anunluckyrabbit

Lauren is absolutely terrified of Mason. Every time she sees him in the distance she just bolts screaming in fear. She can maybe admire how true he is to himself in hindsight, but otherwise she’s just “no!”

@anunluckyrabbit

Thank you for the ask @anunluckyrabbit!  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

“Hm? The little rabbit? Yes, I do remember glimpsing her figure hurry about on one of my visits. ‘Tis a peculiar situation she found herself in, is it not? Trapped in another place all of a sudden, at the mercy of strangers.

Still, for such a small thing she does have a certain... sharpness about her. ‘Tis quite charming I might say. Much more than our own little hare, at the least.”

To Vita, who’s visited NRC many times at her school’s request, Yuuki would be like a cute new toy for her to play with. She’s grown bored of the same old people and the same old reactions so when she realizes there is an unexpected addition to the student populace she would focus quite a lot on this stranger. Yuuki’s situation amuses Vita to a certain degree, but she isn’t malicious about it. She simply is entertained by the idea of someone accidentally being teleported here from another world. 

She would be delighted to run into Yuuki during one of her visits, so she could try and fluster or rile her up, but wouldn’t seek her out. The younger girl will have to deal occasionally with a smirking goth girl who likes to good naturedly tease her. Also, she seems to enjoy Yuuki’s snarky remarks whether it’s aimed at her or something or somebody else entirely. Vita has a preference for strong-willed people. 

“My dear Mason is always a delight. His wit and inclination towards bizarre acts have made any visit to Royal Sword more bearable. ‘Tis a shame Walpurga Nacht does not permit men as students for he certainly would have been an excellent addition. 

His boldness is a quality I admire in a man. If only my dear husband could learn from him.”

Vita’s fondness for Mason stems from his chaotic and unpredictable nature. His schemes amuse her greatly and for her nothing is more important than being amused. Moreover, his rejection of authority gains him a lot of points with her because she likes people that do not bow their heads to others.

CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: YORU CROWLEY (AU)

Tattoo artist. Coffee addict. Desperately in need of therapy.

NICKNAMES. None

AGE. 26

OCCUPATION. Tattoo Artist

ANNUAL INCOME. $95,000

CLOSE FRIENDS. Floyd Leech | Sam | Mason Hatterson

AFFILIATION. Sam's Mystery Shop

HISTORY.

Raised by a neglectful father incapable of showing her the affection she craved, Yoru ran from home as a teen and fell into the hands of a pimp named Peter. Too young to know better, his promise that he loved her and would take care of her filled her head and her heart with enough warmth to ignore the abuse. After years of struggling and several near death experiences she finally escapes him and makes her way to Tokyo to begin her new life tattooing. Sam sets her up with a job and a place to live and she begins to learn what being free means, even if relationships are especially difficult when you're not being paid to have them.

RELATIONSHIPS.

— Floyd Leech

She knew he was dangerous, but couldn't help to fall. They met by accident when she was in need of a coffee, his shop happening to be just up the street from Sam's place. He made it wrong that first time, but it was still the best coffee she could find anywhere else and found herself going back more often than not. He shamelessly hit on her so often she'd take her coffee and go, never staying long enough to chat. He started getting tattooed as a way where they could talk without her running away from him. His plan worked and she found that when he wasn't harassing her they got along quite well. Too well. Well enough that it was going to be a big problem down the road, one that she wouldn't be able to walk away from.

— Sam

Was looking for another tattoo artist in his shop and heard about Yoru's situation from a friend of a friend of a friend and pulled some strings. He pulled her out of the shadows and taught her how to improve her tattooing and how to live freely. He offers his home for her to stay until she can get on her feet, and helps her get settled when she's able to buy her own place. He keeps her grounded and upright whenever she's in danger of falling back to hell.

— Mason Hatterson

One of the first people she met when she landed in Tokyo, and the first that outright said he would be her friend. She values his chaotic energy, even if he keeps selling Floyd expensive plants that she ends up having to throw out. He's one of the few people she would trust to not maliciously mislead her and knows that he has her best interests in mind.

PLAYLIST.

Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd Strunk- Die Antwood Rough hands- Alexisonfire Easier to run- Linkin Park Going back to rehab- Sage Francis

CREDITS.

I feel like Yoru probably would have met Sienna for the first time when she had her human body and was actually able to attend WNA full time, but it would have gone... Bad. Since yoru was like 89% poison and 11% girl at the time, good chance she'd have been brought to Sienna on several occasions at the nurses office and gotten an earful about her proclivity for self harm. Yoru, being a stubborn asshole would then likely think that Sienna is a meddling bitch that needs to mind her business. I think later on once she started accepting herself more would likely apologize for being rude when she was younger.

Amon and Yuuki I think would be mostly inconsequential, as he'd think of her as sort of just there. Since she doesn't let him push her buttons he'd find her uninteresting and not bother.

Amon and Mason on the other hand is now my favorite fucking dynamic. Amon is not used to being shorter than anyone, nor ignored or not taken seriously so Mason being 2 inches taller and more chaotic than he can keep up with makes him mad. Really mad. He would love to absolutely wreck Mason's shit, but somehow the beanpole hatter always gets away unscathed. He just fucking loaaaaatthhheeessssss him.
