hi friends!! this blog is starting to feel messy and it’s becoming a wee bit stressful for me so i’m going to be moving nina to a fresh blog where i can hopefully organize myself a bit easier! i’m still setting the blog up and getting everything ready but you can find me here <3
auradon-raised nina goes by antonina but answers to literally every nickname you could possible think up, but people mostly call her annie, toni, or nina and i just think it’s sweet
six years after the creation of the isle of the lost , word from yen sid travels to queen rapunzel of corona ( behind king adam’s back ) , that mother gothel has bore two young daughters on the isle . behind closed doors , rapunzel and eugene confronted the king of auradon and outright demanded the removal of mother gothel’s two daughters from the isle of the lost . hours of arguing and negotiating would eventually lead to plenty of money and resources granted in exchange for the safe retrieval of the two girls . it would happen in the dead of night , and the two gothel girls would be safely scooped from their patchwork beds , sound asleep , and smuggled through the barrier and safely into auradon . of course they were frightened upon waking to find their changed surroundings , they quickly warmed up to rapunzel and eugene , and the couple had been fully prepared to take the girls in had gothel’s eldest living daughter , cassandra , an old friend of the royal couple , had not swooped in and taken up the responsibility of raising the two .
the single condition around the agreement had been to keep their parentage a complete secret from the public , lest it ignite outrage . so cassandra brought her two younger half-sisters to her little cottage in the woods , and raised them as her adopted daughters . the girls knew that cass was not their real mother , and still retained vivid memories of the isle itself , but they did not ask many questions until around puberty . by that time , cassandra had to sit them down and explain the situation to them , and that it was the most important secret they’d ever have to keep , lest they risk being sent back to the place they had been rescued from .
antonina , the youngest , was incredibly precocious from a young age , all-too aware of her surroundings , always far too curious for her own good . but alongside all these things , she was shy and withdrawn , almost completely unwilling to speak unless ginny , the older of the two , speaks to her . it came to a point where she rarely wanted to even speak at all , entirely linked to how she was treated by her mother . worried that it would affect her ability to fit in with other kids in auradon , cass has her enrolled into martial arts classes and begins teaching her to sword fight . slowly but surely , she begins to come to life right in front of everyone’s eyes . a curious child who never spoke a word began to blossom into a curious girl who constantly speaks her mind , yet maintained a charm that would draw anyone to her . but despite this shift , she would still be diagnosed with depression that would be consistently treated with therapy and anti-depressants .
by the time she was getting ready to attend auradon prep , she became acutely aware of just how terrified she was of losing all of the good things she has . she is terrified of losing her home , her family , her friends , and she is about to begin attending a very high-profile school full of legacy children . should her parentage be discovered , she would be carted back to the isle of the lost and be left at the mercy of the woman who tormented her as a child . because of this , she makes the decision to bleach her dark hair to a bright blonde , give herself some bangs , and begins to religiously straighten her curls until her hair sits completely flat . because of this , no one would ever even guess that she had any relation to mother gothel , and would just assume she is just cassandra’s adopted daughter and practically family to rapunzel and eugene .
antonina fits in well at auradon prep . she has good grades , gets along well with her teachers , and has a decent amount of acquaintances that she enjoys the company of . she finds a close friend in li lonnie , the daughter of li shang and fa mulan , after bonding with the girl over their shared love of martial arts and sword fighting . the two become inseparable , even attempting to join the sword and shield club , but are denied because of the ancient club rules preventing women from joining . though it is discouraging , the girls don’t give up their fight just yet . days later , they find themselves joining jay and carlos on the isle in order to rescue ben and convince mal to rejoin them in auradon . upon their return , her and lonnie are permitted to join the sword and shield club and lonnie is appointed as the new captain .
antonina graduates without a hitch , but she can’t help but the nerves that come alongside more isle born children arriving in auradon . though her memories are more fuzzy , she still recalls enough to know that the possibility of them recognizing her is still there . she just hopes that their memories just aren’t as sharp .
“ thanks for joining me , mein kapitän . ” unlit cigarette is twirled between her fingertips , stuck between her lips and punctuated by the snapping of her lighter . she holds the tiny flame over the tip until it ignites , before letting it die and releasing a puff of smoke from her lungs and into the cold nighttime air , taking extra care to make sure it blows downwind , keeping it away from uma and preventing the smell it from sticking to her clothes . nina purses her lips down at the little white stick in her hand , the taste simultaneously giving her anxiety some relief yet also tasting sour and bitter and making her feel ill . “ sorry . i'll be quick with it . ”
Hey all, you may have noticed that a recent tumblr update broke Old Blue, leading to a dashboard that looked something like this:
