[ tom sturridge, demi man, he/they. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ cheshire ‘shea’ cat ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ forty ] year old originally hailing from [ alice in wonderland ]. if they had to choose a side they would consider themself [ evil ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ intelligent ] but [ deceptive ] and have [ two ] children. i could almost swear i heard [ feel something at all - 93feetofsmoke ] playing when they appeared.
it was hard for shea to remember when or how he was born – he simply remembered ‘being’. but, perhaps that was how everyone came to think about their coming into the world; no one actually remembered the birth part. their mother was fleeting in his mind, a father absent. she had only enough time with him to teach him the basics of the world before she disappeared one day, never returning. they never learned of her fate and believed he was either abandoned or she was removed from the world against her will. either way, it bore a hole into their heart and started the slow descent into madness.
as time passed by, shea would lose his grip on right and wrong. what started to drive him was the creation of chaos. however, he never came to the point of being cruel. there were things they’d done to lead others astray and could be interpreted as mean-spirited, but were done just to push one’s path along. and, if he ever did make a mistake that did not result in someone’s benefit in the end, he would subtly make up for it.
the queen was a common victim of his, though she could be considered an exception to their personal rule of pushing someone along a better path. the queen was quite resistant to his proddings, his actions against her only seen as problems and never influencing her to change her ways. so, in the end, shea would simply torment the poor woman as a way to make up for her victims’ suffering. thus, she grew to hate shea and they her.
after alice’s visit to wonderland, shea happened upon some lost kittens. they were, unfortunately, far too small and naive to make it out in any world on their own. memories of their childhood came back to them and they simply could not resist taking the kittens under his wing. he taught them just the same as his mother taught him, though he made sure not to abandon them. and though he grew to love them dearly and they helped to ground him in some sort of sense of reality, his mind continued to go with age.
he swore he was reliving the past when emily came to wonderland, seeing her as alice and sometimes referring to her as such. the more he saw her, the more confused he became. they would be ruder to the other residents of wonderland, lashing out for no reason at all. paranoia was setting in as he was sure everyone was finally banding together and working against them – they all said alice wasn’t alice, after all. they wanted to dethrone him from his comfortable seat watching over all the events of wonderland.
they would attempt to explain this to their children, sure they of all people would believe him and never betray him. and though he had no interest in being a ruling entity by title over wonderland, they were convinced the queen was finally pushing the residents to turn against him and she needed to be dethroned herself. he started to plot ways to do this, but was stopped when they were transported to town.
they’re still quite paranoid, but being in a new place is helping to ground shea and bring them back to a state before meeting emily – they weren’t completely surrounded by enemies after all. they enjoy the chaos that the sudden relocation has caused for everyone, wanting to push and prod the residents even further with cryptic messages and grey actions.

[ winston duke, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ m’baku jabari ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ thirty-six ] year old originally hailing from [ black panther ]. if they had to choose a side they would consider themself [ good ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ open-minded ] but [ stubborn ] and have [ one ] child. i could almost swear i heard [ nothing is lost - the weeknd ] playing when they appeared.
m’baku was born into the isolated jabari tribe of wakanda, the tribe seeing fit to stick to tradition and hated the way the golden city utilised vibranium and ignored tradition. m’baku was raised to hold the same beliefs, eventually becoming the leader of the jabari people. he was proud of his people and fully believed that their way of life was one that needed to be cherished and maintained. thus, he found it fit to challenge to become the king of wakanda – the golden city had strayed too far from tradition.
unfortunately, m’baku was defeated during the challenge and was forced to accept t’challa as the king, returning back to the jabari lands. some time had passed until t’challa was brought before m’baku – the man found wounded and previously perceived killed by his cousin. because t’challa had spared him his life during their challenge for king, m’baku did what he could to heal t’challa. and, initially, he refused to help the former king defeat killmonger. but, he would eventually come to see reason and assist in restoring t’challa to the throne.
from then on, m’baku led the way to healing hundreds of years of isolation between the jabari lands and the rest of wakanda. he stood on the tribal council and sought out what was best for all of wakanda rather than just the jabari tribe. however, it was his role in helping to defend wakanda during the war with the talokanils that later earned m’baku the title of king of wakanda – unchallenged by any of the other tribes. and, he was a fair and level-headed ruler.
soon enough, he’d unexpectedly fell in love – resulting into the birth of his biggest pride: sade. m’baku, though happy being king, could never compare the happiness he felt with having the perfect family to anything else. he watched as his wife taught their daughter everything she needed to know, beyond proud that sade appeared to be eager to learn more and more. and, with sade’s love for the jabari lands, he began calling her ebusika – winter. this was the thing that made m’baku feel connected to winter the most.
unfortunately, as winter grew older, she seemed to withdraw herself from her family and responsibilities. while m’baku knew that every child had their moments of focusing inward, it still caused him worry. he’d seen the same behaviour in shuri years prior and wondered if winter was battling something she refused to admit to him or his wife. he started to think he was failing to come off as an understanding and supportive father, causing his own bright personality to deflate slightly.
m’baku was starting to think of a way to approach his daughter about what was going on with her when he’d found himself in town. now, he doesn’t remember her, his wife, nor the war with talokan. he remembers the loss of the king of wakanda and the preparations for his funeral.
memory trigger: reciting or reading winter’s favourite childhood storybook.

[ clement novalak, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ dane d’ingary ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ twenty-one ] year old child of [ madame suliman ] from [ howl’s moving castle ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ enthusiastic ] but [ eccentric ] and have [ two ] siblings. i could almost swear i heard [ all or nothing - topic ] playing when they appeared.
despite how rich and powerful the kingdom of ingary was, there was always perceived threats based on whispers and subtle actions. such threats were always investigated by those in charge of keeping the kingdom and its people safe – councils of witches and wizards and politicians all working together to serve this common purpose. it wasn’t uncommon for secret little missions to take place to stop these threats before they became something much bigger. this was where dane’s father met his unfortunate end. he was a young soldier, newly married with a baby on the way. but, a quiet deployment resulted in his life being lost in the process and his wife to be a single mother and widow.
however, for the sake of her baby, she kept her spirit strong. she took care of herself in every way that she could to ensure her delivery was smooth and that she would be able to raise her child. that too, however, did not go as expected. dane’s mother gave her life to give him his, left to brave the world parent-less. he was left to an orphanage in kingsbury, taking on the last name ‘d’ingary’ as most orphans did. though they did not have families, they were children of ingary.
due to the growing need of wizards and witches – especially in the army – it was not uncommon for government officials to comb through the orphanages and take in anyone who exhibited signs of magical aptitude. dane had been fortunate enough to be one of these children, brought to one of the academies of magic where he would be raised and properly taught how to manage and use his magic.
there, he’d met many other children who’d been taken in – many of which he got along with swimmingly. but, there were others who simply didn’t like his energetic and overly charismatic nature. he wouldn’t say there was anyone he was particularly close to. rather, he was surrounded by so many acquaintances but none ever became a best friend of sorts. still, with how busy his life was and all the attention he could garner, it never became and issue for him. and, by the time he was twelve, he’d managed to meet his siblings as well.
madame suliman, the highest witch on the king’s council, had selected dane and two others to study specifically under her guidance. through this process, she officially ‘adopted’ them and expected them to behave as fine, young gentlefolk. dane was brought into a world of nobility, manners, politics, and rare magic. and, while it could overwhelm anyone, dane thrived on it. he saw it all as one big charade, to play into a role he was suddenly cast in. it certainly helped that his magic skills spoke enough for him, so he did earn some leeway in getting away with a few things he should not have.
dane loved the gossip that came with the business of becoming a council wizard. he may not have been appointed yet, but it was definitely something he was very interested in becoming – and expected of by his mother. he would often suggest he tag along with her to this event and that, promising to stand to the shadows and draw no attention to himself. of course, the ‘no drawing attention’ part was the hardest things for him to accomplish.
he got along very well with his siblings, fully accepting them and behaving around them in a way that would make one believe they were all together their entire lives. he even did his best to get close to the royal children of the king, playfully tempting them to sneak out or shirk their responsibilities. dane really didn’t see the point of life if you couldn’t spend it having a bit of fun. plus, he was sure the king would never truly chastise them if they got caught.
dane comes to town thinking he’s accidentally stepped through a wrong door, attempting – though not very seriously – to find the door that returns him back home. he loves to pretend to be pompous and spoiled, but he’d anything but. sure, he loves his lavish lifestyles, but he could never forget his humble beginnings. he remembers the very rare chance he got and believes everyone deserves a chance at a better life. he’s quite flashy with his magic and likes to use it for parties rather than anything serious. he’s not unintelligent, he just forgets to apply any wise words the madame may have shared with him over the years.

[ hunter doohan, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ briar tweed ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ twenty-six ] year old child of [ tod and vixey ] from [ the fox and the hound ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ perceptive ] but [ distant ] and have [ zero ] siblings. i could almost swear i heard [ idea 10 - gibran alcocer ] playing when they appeared.
briar was brought into the world by tod and vixey, the two a rather picturesque couple. however, who knew if they were as perfect as they looked. briar was well looked after by the two, taught all the things that a fox needed to be taught. but, he was also shown the value of friendship without boundaries every time he went to see his grandmother as well as copper and his family.
however, briar always felt like there was a sort of disconnect between him and his father. while the other obviously care about briar, there were times briar wondered if tod would have been happier somewhere else. the fact he had no siblings made him suspicious of the union between his father and mother, but he never voiced such concerns. instead, he chose to distance himself and occupy himself with hobbies such as befriending rabbits, deer, and birds.
he was on the quieter end of the spectrum, but being so surely helped him befriend the creatures of the forest rather than scaring them off. he also had a particular love of winter and would often sneak out and watch humans skate on a nearby lake. he wanted to be like them – gliding fast and elegantly along the slick surface. but, every time he tried once the lake was cleared, he only ended up becoming a fumbling mess. it made him jealous of what humans had.
he would sometimes voice these concerns to his mother whenever it was just the two of them. he didn’t want to weigh down his father with his thoughts. plus, a mother just had a certain way of connecting with their children. of course, there was no hope for him to be anything but a fox and do fox-y things, but that didn’t stop him from continuing to silently observe humans from afar when he could.
he had a few close encounters with some poachers, but was lucky enough to escape unscathed and untracked. these moments caused him to become a bit more meek though never enough to stop his curiosity. he thought up the idea of encouraging his family to move closer to a town just so he could be closer to humans, but he knew the request would be denied. they were mostly safe here, so why change things? plus, briar very much doubted tod would want to be far from copper and his mother.
now that briar has become human, he’s indulging in all the activities he’s seen humans do. he loves being outdoors as it is what he’s used to, but doing so in a very human way – hiking, swimming, sports, etc. he’s hesitant in his approaches, but holds love for everyone equally. and though he is a bit shy, he wouldn’t ever lie about his feelings for someone or feel ashamed for them. he’s very much looking forward to learning how to ice skate.

[ auston matthews, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ marc banks ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ twenty-five ] year old child of [ adam banks ] from [ the mighty ducks ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ playful ] but [ cocky ] and have [ two ] siblings. i could almost swear i heard [ scandalous - gryffin ] playing when they appeared.
while adam had great potential in becoming a well known hockey player in the nhl, there was a lot that got in the way of that expected dream. growing up, he was prone to injuries – something that never seemed to change throughout his early hockey career. this became an issue when adam entered college, accepted on a scholarship to the team they had. he showed promise with how skilled he was. however, an accident on the ice had adam unable to continue playing as the injury failed to heal adequately.
adam was devastated, but he didn’t quit school. instead, he decided to study law to look out for the small guy. during this time, he watched as all of his old friends from the ducks go on to live their dreams. he didn’t want to grow jealous, silently cheering for them from a distance. he met a woman in one of his classes, a drunken night together leading to a lifetime commitment: marc.
and, seeing as adam had his own strained relationship with his father, he refused to leave his child to fend for himself with only his mother to take care of him. so, with the help of his father’s money and promise that he would complete law school, adam got engaged to marc’s mother and helped raise him while he finished school. strangely, they never felt the need to finish tying the knot and moreso platonically loved each other and marc. adam graduated and went on to become a public defender, fulfilling his promise to his father.
marc was named after one of adam’s favourite goalies, taught how to skate before he could really walk. adam wanted to tempt marc into liking hockey like he did, but he promised himself to never force the boy to continue with the sport if he ended up disliking it. luckily, however, marc loved it. he loved the feeling of sliding across the ice and getting physical with the other players without it necessarily being a bad thing. plus, shooting the puck into the net was a great feeling.
during his early years, two other siblings were added to the mix. adam and his fiance felt that it would only be fair to marc that he have more family he could rely on. plus, the two had a lot of love to give and didn’t have too much of an outlet for the love while marc was away playing hockey with his various teams. and, marc did love his siblings, but he felt a sort of disconnect from them. he was too busy with his own life to really get invested with theirs. still, he would go up to bat for them if need be.
marc was a star player during his highschool years. his talent reached the bigwigs of the nhl, winning him a spot in the nhl draft lottery as soon as he graduated. they were certainly taking a risk on him as he was barely finishing up his college applications, but someone saw something in him when he was chosen second overall by the san jose sharks. he worked hard with their ahl team the moment he got chosen, proving to them that they made the right choice. but due to some politics and the sharks not wanting to sign him onto their nhl team early, marc was traded to the anaheim ducks and signed a multi-year contract.
his personality immediately attracted the media. not only was he a young budding star along with one of his teammates, his confidence and unwillingness to play the media’s game had them constantly bothering him. he earned himself a handful of friends and enemies throughout the league as well. he knew about his father’s hockey days and kids he used to play with – meeting the kids of those kids. and, he loved to antagonise them, but he also grew close with them. one would always see him bothering these players every time they were on the ice together.

[ maris racal, cis woman, she/her. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ cassidy sanchez ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ twenty-two ] year old child of [ miranda sanchez ] from [ lizzie mcguire ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ passionate ] but [ bitter ] and have [ two ] siblings. i could almost swear i heard [ cult leader - king mala ] playing when they appeared.
cassidy was one of three children born to miranda, the woman a failed actress and a waitress doing what she could to support her children. she would often tell her children how she used to be a ‘star’ but it was all taken from her for this reason or that – typically at the hands of someone else rather than her own failings. from the very beginning, cassidy was taught to be bitter and to look out only for herself as, clearly, everyone else was out for themselves as well.
she grew up wanting to be an actress as well, to take on the dream that her mother never could complete. her mother supported her, but would be very strict – especially any time cassidy failed. despite this, cassidy only wanted to prove herself more and more, and would often work herself into exhaustion trying to keep up her appearance while attending school and partaking in theater. she was quite popular throughout school, but that didn’t mean she was entirely well-liked by the general student population.
luckily, her early tenacity won her way into a private art’s school where she met the person that would completely change the course of her life: her roommate. immediately, the were pitted against each other because they wanted the same thing, and cassidy fully believe the other had an advantage due to her mother already being quite a successful and well-known name. that was when a cruel idea came to mind.
cassidy decided to start dating the other, fully allowing the other to believe that she liked her. cassidy wanted a touch of that fame, to use her girlfriend for her own gain. what she didn’t expect, however, were real feelings to develop. not wanting to jeopordise her climb to success, cassidy decided to end their relationship and reveal her true intent. in her mind, if she could get her girlfriend to hate her, all feelings would cease. they did not.
that moment on, everything went downhill for cassidy. she graduated with average grades and didn’t get accepted to any of her universities of choice – the only ones she applied for. she would go to audition after audition, but was constantly passed over. she started waitressing in the meantime to help pay for the bills and still held on to hope that she would snag some sort of role. none came. she was forced to accept her fate as karma handing her all the bad she’d done in her life.

[ liu haikuan, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ li lichang ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ twenty-eight ] year old child of [ mulan and shang ] from [ mulan ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ loyal ] but [ reserved ] and have [ two ] siblings. i could almost swear i heard [ heaven - taemin ] playing when they appeared.
being the child of two great warriors came with a lot of responsibility, weighing down lichang since he was born. because his parents were so well known and so successful in the military sense, it was expected that their children would also be involved in the military or politics – leading to their lives being shaped and influenced greatly to turn them into wonderful leaders.
lichang took on the responsibility in stride, however he wasn’t sure if it was really his dream. but, he never allowed himself to really dream about anything else. he focused on his education and swordsmanship, both things he excelled in. he was expected to take one the role of general after his father the more he improved in his combat skills, not really finding the games of politics to be something he wanted to partake in. he understood their ‘necessity’, but he didn’t want to be part of something that could potentially hurt innocent people.
of course, his family was always close to royalty, him and his siblings often sent off to play with the royal children while their parents convened. typically, lichang chose to be a little more quiet and distant during these times, content with watching the other children play. it didn’t mean he didn’t like to play, but he just didn’t have the boisterous energy that they had. he enjoyed reading and calmly crafting with the more toned down children if he wasn’t sparring.
when lichang was of age to join the army, he did so without hesitation. it was expected of him and he had no other plans for himself. during this time, he was obviously very isolated from his family and close friends save for his father. and though he thrived in his work, it didn’t give him any sense of purpose. still, he never complained. unfortunately, during a campaign, lichang had met his match in a particularly bloody battle. one quick swipe of his opponents sword led to lichang holding his face in his hands. his life was spared with the help of a fellow soldier felling the man that was about to stab lichang through.
lichang was returned how to recover, discovering that the injury he received completely stole his vision. he would heal completely, but he would never be able to see again. ashamed of himself and his failings, he asked his family to announce that he had fallen in combat. he didn’t want others to think of him as unskilled or weak because of his blindness, falling into a deep depression.
fortunately, as lichang was learning to navigate life again, he found his sword once more. all of his time was consumed with practicing and turning himself back into the warrior he used to be despite his disability. he wanted to prove to himself that he was anything but unable. once he was sure he was up to par, he begged his father to find a way to allow him back into the army – wanting to find some sort of use for himself. but, he could find no way to convince the other leaders to allow a blind stranger – to them – to join the ranks.
frustration slowly at away at lichang until his father offered an alternative – to act as a bodyguard for one of the royal families. it would take an exhibition of his skill, but he was sure he could convince the family that lichang could be entrusted with the protection of their family members. and, because lichang’s identity was obscured, he’d grown quite a bit in the army, and he was thought to be dead, surely the family woudl not recognise him.
through a test of fighting and besting the other guards in a sparring match, lichang was able to secure his spot amongst them. he was given the task of watching over the children of the family, easily falling in line to do so. it was a quiet and calm task, but it gave lichang a sense that he was doing something right. he didn’t have to guess whether or not he was fighting a man with a family nor was he forced to play politics. note: he does wear a cloth over his eyes.

[ riz ahmed, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ bodhi rook ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ thirty-five ] year old originally hailing from [ star wars ]. if they had to choose a side they would consider themself [ good ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ adaptable ] but [ anxious ] and have [ one ] child. i could almost swear i heard [ men on the moon - chelsea cutler ] playing when they appeared.
bodhi was born to a single mother, the two doing what they could to get by on jedha. however, even if times were tough, bodhi still found ways to get into trouble – namely betting illegally and being reckless with a speeder. he was quite clumsy and bad on his luck, never allowed to work with knives as a result of that clumsiness.
despite all of this, he had dreams of being a starfighter pilot. it was obvious he had a passion for piloting, but the passion didn’t match his skill level. he never qualified for the starfighter program after he enlisted, forced to take on the role of transporting cargo for the empire instead. it wasn’t something he was happy about, but he was at least thankful that he was off jedha and flying anything at all. it wasn’t a glamorous job, but he did get to see different worlds and casually learn about the empire’s secrets – not that he thought he would need to use that knowledge any time soon.
during this time, he met a fellow coworker that he slowly fell for. the two came from similar backgrounds and understood each other more than anyone else. eventually, they did enter a relationship together and were rather stable. they were together for a year before everything started to strain and shift. there was a sudden change in bodhi’s partner as she grew more irritable and dreamt of living somewhere more permanent. she mentioned that they needed to plan for the future, and that neither of them would be happy working on freight ships forever. and though he tried to be understanding, she wouldn’t say why she suddenly wanted to change their lives nor was he able to find a job that took care of them better than their current.
unable to find a solution and bodhi kept in the dark about her pregnancy, his partner ended things quickly and left their shared workspace. he was absolutely heartbroken and confused, resigning himself to a life of unhappy monotony working for the empire. fate, however, had a different plan for bodhi when galen erso approached him to deliver a message to the resistance. with nothing really holding him back and having a deep sense of doing what was right, bodhi agreed and defected.
bodhi ended up meeting the small, makeshift group that would deliver the plans of the deathstar to the resistance – the very thing that changed the course of the galaxy forever. bodhi never thought he would find himself in such a situation, but there wasn’t any turning back for him. he gave his life for the future of the galaxy, perishing with the others as the planet was destroyed and the message was sent to leia organa’s ship.
bodhi never met his child nor did he ever knew they existed. he’d always wanted a family one day, but never had the chance. he would want to be the best father he could be. coming to town, he doesn’t remember getting his mission from galen erso. he remembers his break up with his partner and how everything was falling apart for him.

[ oscar isaac, cis man, he/him. ] ✧･ﾟ is that [ poe dameron ] who just stumbled into town? rumour has it that they’re the [ forty ] year old originally hailing from [ star wars ]. if they had to choose a side they would consider themself [ good ]. i’ve also heard that they’re [ charismatic ] but [ rebellious ] and have [ one adopted ] child. i could almost swear i heard [ tripping over air - aiden bissett ] playing when they appeared.
poe was born to two members of the resistance, his mother a skilled pilot of the green squadron and his father a pathfinder. but, like most children of the resistance, he couldn’t be with them – looked after by his grandfather. though, the wait for his parents to return wasn’t a long one, and they were soon settling on yavin in a home of their own. they even had a force-sensitive tree planted that was a gift from luke skywalker himself.
when he was six, his mother began teaching him how to fly. her death two years later, however, meant that she would never see her son grow up into a skilled pilot. this caused poe to start flying his mother’s ship illegally throughout his teen years, getting into trouble with the law multiple times on yavin. it was when he was shot down by the police and his mother’s ship was destroyed that he was approached by zorii bliss to join her smuggling crew. he accepted.
unfortunately, his time with the smugglers was not a good one. zorii’s mother, zeva, claimed that zorii and her father had betrayed the smugglers of kijimi and killed zorii’s father in front of them. she also killed a friendly droid as well as other friends of poe’s. poe went with zorii and her mother to kijimi and helped in foiling her pursuit to kill her enemies, getting injured in the process.
he left the smugglers to join the rebel alliance, quickly raising through the ranks due to his natural skill. this was when he met bb-8, the droid becoming a life-long friend to poe. he met general leia organa, the woman reminded of her brother, and she offered him a position to help fight against the first order. naturally, he accepted and began taking on more pressing missions.
during one of his missions, he found himself cornered by a pair of stormtroopers. they hesitated due to their orders that the first order wanted to capture poe dameron alive, poe effectively decommissioning one of them while the other grazed his shoulder with their blaster. quickly, however, the trooper removed their helmet to reveal themselves as a young, skilled soldier who wished to defect. poe, of course, wouldn’t leave them behind and managed to escape with them and brought them to a resistance base.
there, they found out that the trooper was only sixteen – having gone through their training better and faster than their peers. however, they didn’t really know how to be them, so poe decided he was going to be the one to look after them and teach them how to not only be a part of the resistance, but how to simply be a person. he would take them with him whenever he could, but they would typically be left on base somewhere to wait for him. and, they would have their own missions as well, but poe emphasised to his fellows that he never wanted them on dangerous missions in order to keep them safe. the battle of exegol occurred a few years later.
poe comes to town not knowing that the resistance defeated the first order, or that he saved his adopted child from being a stormtrooper. though he is confused, he takes in stride. he stays on alert, but he knows how to relax and talk his way in and out of most situations. he’s far too much of a risk taker for his own good.
