Hello~, for the ask prompt~ 8-9-11 for Szi,Yuuki, Oriol and Dalia 👀?
Merry Christmas to you too, thanks for the ask 💕 I took a bit longer than I wanted to answer this, sorry. It's also quite long, so that's partly why. But here it is! Long post ahead~
8. How old were they when they stopped believing in Santa?
Since we don't know how fae age works I'll just use our human years instead klhasklfh
He was 10. A bit later than most kids, since his parents did their absolute best to keep the wonder alive in him for as long as they could.
9. How did they stop believing in Santa?
That was also the age when he started getting bullied at school and having less and less friends and more enemies. And some of the kids that disliked him saw him so happy talking about Santa and wanted to ruin it for him 😢 He was really upset that whole Christmas. But for the next one he had already understood why his parents "had done that" and why it was important. And from then on he firmly decided to keep the ruse around any children he might ever encounter (specially his little siblings).
11. Do they have any special traditions?
Yes, he and his family do~ There's a big spring in the forest next to their home where their ancestors have been going for centuries. They go during all holidays, including during Christmas. It's such a pure fresh water that it helps them replenish their magic and feel stronger (since they're river fae). During summer time visits they do go in the nearby pond to swim, but in the colder months they just put their hands under the sping and let the water flow over them for a little bit~

Nothing too special. His twin sister heard it from someone in class who learned it from their older cousin. And well, she had to tell him too lmao. She was quite ok with it, but Yuuki cried for a while after learning of it. (He calmed down once his parents assured him they'd still get presents anyway).
11. Do they have any special traditions?
Not sure if this would count as special tradition? But the few weeks before Christmas day he works really hard to make something handmade for all his family and close friends. Now that he's in NRC he makes something for all his close friends and Grim~ And eventually, his bfs.
8. How old were they when they stopped believing in Santa?
Like with Szi, we'll just go with human years saklfhsa
9. How did they stop believing in Santa?
He just figured it out himself. After seeing how the adults acted and aplying some basic logic to it. After asking his mom she told him the truth outwardly. He felt a bit betrayed about it and felt like he needed some "compensation". So that year he ruined Santa for all the kids his age that lived in his town lmao. He just went around telling everyone. He calmed down after that and stopped doing it tho the next year XD
11. Do they have any special traditions?
Where he lives it doesn't ever snow, but, as a kid, he really really wanted to make snowmans like he saw in media and books. So his mom had to think of something and created with him a "wood and leaves" snowman that time. It ended up becoming a tradition and they make one each year 😌 Although in the later years, Oriol adds way too much to it and makes it all automated and mobile, it greets people who pass by their house and it spooks them lmao.

9. How did they stop believing in Santa?
Being the youngest of three, her parents and her sisters did their best to hide the truth from her and always make it such a fun enjoyable experience for her. It took a long time for her to discover the truth. Just one day, since almost all her classmates knew the truth already, they just mentioned asking the presents to their parents normally and she was confused. And soon they all explained to her how it worked.
She was a bit disappointed, but she took it quite well and didn't mind much. What she liked most was all the time with her family, so having them also be the ones behind the presents wasn't that bad~
11. Do they have any special traditions?
Yes, so many! They all go together a week before Christmas to buy all the presents (hidding when it's for a family member). They also go together to ice skate a few times during the holidays. They always plan a big Christmas party with all their relatives over at their big house, everything decorated and fancy, with formal dresses and all. They also do play board games every night after dinner, all together. It's just all family time~
That's all! If you read until here, thank you so much <3
I am actually still accepting more of these if anyone wants to send more. Christmas day might be today, but it's still winter holidays for a week so~ Feel free to send some more C:
