MC BIRTHDAY STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE TIME THIS RELEASES IN EN SERVER YOU'LL HAVE MISSED 3 BIRTHDAYS YOU BETTER NOT BE AN EXTRA SHORT STORY I WANT A FULLY PAMPERED STORY!!!!!!!!!!
Yuren was younger/smaller than Jude and outgrew him (with those 7mm LMAO) during school
Jude saw Yuren's potential as a rich student to exploit and used his soft/Queen's English persona upon meeting him and dropped it immediately because of how loud and annoying Yuren was
Sorry for Jude but too late now. Yuren loves his senpaiiiiii~! (*＾3＾)/～♡( ⇁︵⇁)
Yuren was/is clingy and annoyed the shit out of Jude whenever he got the chance
Both were the effortless top students (Jude is never getting rid of him)
If Yuren had joined Crown first Jude would have considered not joining LMAO
Jude charges Yuren an extra "you piss me off + dont come see me" interest charge if he ever needs a transaction from him
For Jude, Yuren being rich is not worth spending time with him (would actually pay him to stay the f away from him)
Ragebaiter + Ragebaited
Yuren matches Victor on Jude's annoying/loudness list
Doing this for fun I STG I can't wait to see more interactions between those two IT LOOKS HILARIOUS
Yes more posts on Libra what's new BUT I wanna have fun and lay down my guesses and predictions for the Libra team for their curse, fate, weapon, ability and sin!!!
Exhibit A - ⚗️🧜♂️
💜 Curse: The Sea Witch from the Little Mermaid
💜 Sin: Arrogance/Vanity? Treachery? (From fooling the little mermaid or stealing her voice)
💜 Ability: Copying people's appearances or stealing memories/voices
💜 Weapon: A whip, or poison?
💜 Fate: "to steal memories from those he hold dear, forging himself a path of despair and loneliness" (based on my HC ability of stealing memories)
I saw a lot of people say he's the Fashionista of the group LMAO so I think with the Sea Witch persona, he would fit the sin of treachery or arrogance, I mean just look at his face LMAO.
As for the ability, the most non surprising would be stealing voices just like the actual witch + his teaser line "I will steal what's dear to you" but I like the idea of a shape shifting witch ✨
As for weapons, I know the potion emoji is here for the witchy vibe but having a villain whose main weapon is poison would be HELLA COOL.
We don't see any hint as to his weapon from his design preview so it's mostly guesses!
For his fate, I like the idea of shape shifting better but if it were stealing memories thingy, I think it would be quite tragic for him to deprive himself of genuine bonds from stealing so many memories left and right.
Exhibit B - (no teaser emoji yet)
🤍 Curse: The Snow Queen/Ice Maiden
🤍 Sin: Apathy
🤍 Ability: Freezing people upon touch?
🤍 Weapon: Sword?
🤍 Fate: "to keep the one he loves most frozen in time, robbing them of death's sweet release" (based on my HC of his freezing ability)
I think we nearly unanimously thought of Ice vibes for this guy hence the Snow Queen curse LOLOLOL
Seeing his face and icy vibes, I think the sin of apathy would fit, wouldn't it?? Or perhaps anger, but I like the idea of a villain not being able to feel emotions at all.
As for the weapon, once again, the current teaser we have shows no weapon but I noticed the end of his brooch looks like a sword/cross, so eh? Sword maybe??
For the ability, freezing people is pretty unoriginal, so I hope C*bird crew find something a bit cooler than straight up freezing people, but then again, in the original tale, The Snow Queen literally freezes people's heart so we might have something like that!
For the fate, same thing, just a speculation but sometimes I feel like fates in Ikevil can be vague or very angsty (I like the latter better)
His freezing thing would also be similar to what Jude did to Kate in his promised event (when he stopped time for her by putting her to sleep!)
Exhibit C - 🥀🐺
❤️ Curse: The Beast from Beauty and the Beast
❤️ Sin: Cruelty? Egotism?
❤️ Ability: Being able to find trails leading to people with an item from them (like a badass type of hunter)
❤️ Weapon: Blades (a lot of them)
❤️ Fate: "to curse the one he loves most to a violent and tragic death"
The emojis given by the trailer makes it 99% that he's from Beauty and the Beast!! And so it's quite fun imagining what his lore could be,
The Beast from the take was cursed because he turned down shelter to the fairy, which is why I put in cruelty or egotism as his sin, which would also fit his teaser lines where he literally says he cares not one bit about MC lololol
In his design previews we can see some sort of handles on his left hip so I'm guesses these are a bunch of blades LMAO
If I didn't see these, I would have theorized him having those knuckle blades to make it look like claws or something but looks like it's just regular blades in large quantities lol
For his ability I guess I could have said the basic transforming into a beast type of ability BUT I know making a separate sprite of him would be too much effort so him being able to hunt after people with his ability would be such a terrifying ability for potential curse bearer hunters OOF
As for his fate, it would be VERY difficult for me to actually guess it right BUT since the beast is cursed to a violent form in the tale, I thought it would be quite angsty for the fate to be him being a powerless witness of his loved one's tragic death (and therefore technically cursing the one he'd love most, and that would fit him pushing people away, a bit like Alphons!)
Welp that's it it took ages to write but it's just me 100% speculating and having fun, I can't wait to see more previews and see how wrong I am LMAO
Right guy - The Soldier/Executioner from Red Shoes
OKAY I SPENT TOO LONG ON THIS but thanks to braided hair guy being 99% confirmed to be cursed by the Sea Witch from the Little Mermaid, I was able to find a bit more connections for the other two LIs.
While they might not be from the same fairytale, they might just like Vogel come from the same country, and The Little Mermaid is a danish fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen so I looked into it:
The thing is that Libra means "scales" in Latin so I tried to find tales that might have a connection to it (So far, The Little Mermaid fits), and another story that stuck to me is The Ice Maiden, which is also written by Hans Christian Andersen or The Snow Queen (also written by him).
Basically the Ice Maiden is a story about a man named Rudy who is in love with a lady named Babette, and in rage after finding out she might be in love with her cousin, he finds the Ice Maiden and kisses her. Long story short, Rudy returns to Babette to be engaged to her, and the Ice Maiden kisses/curses him and he drowns before the wedding happens.
Middle guy has strong Snow Queen/Ice Maiden vibes so!!! That's the closest I got!!!!
As for Left/Red guy, my guess is to the Soldier or the Executioner from The Red Shoes, which is another tale written by Hans Christian Andersen.
The story is about a spoiled girl who convinced her mother to buy her a luxurious pair of red shoes but in fear that it will make her more vain, the girl is forbidden from wearing them. Breaking her promise, the girl wears the shoes and shows them off, before a Soldier with a red beard (soldier vibes, red theme wink wink) curses her to dance whenever she wears them. When her mother dies, she chooses not to attend the funeral and go dance instead, where an angel curses her to dance even if she were to die, and out of desperation, the girl asks an Executioner to chop off her feet.
Right/Red guy gives me STRONG soldier/pirate/wolf vibe, so I would have gone for Red Shoes or Red Riding Hood....
There are a lot of Danish fairytales BUT I tried to find ones that would fit the red themed LI or the white haired one so these are my guesses lololol.
It's still very difficult to find 3 fairytales/villains that fit the theme of Libra,,,,,
Might be wrong (most likely LMAO), but hey this was fun research!!
wAIT I ACTUALLY MIGHT HAVE BEEN SPOT ON ON MY VERY FIRST GUESS ON BEAUTY AND THE BEAST????
Then again Hans Christian Andersen also wrote a fairytale called The Wolf Prince which is about a King who offers the hand of his daughter to whoever can solve one of his riddle, which ends up being a Wolf Prince....
But because of the rose emoji in the preview it's more likely to be the Beauty and the Beast though, especially since that tale is more well known!!

Might be wrong (most likely LMAO), but hey this was fun research!!
Since Vogel was introduced as a group searching for Cursed bearers, and given the fact that Libra would be introduced for Act 3 regarding the timeline, I think it might be fitting for Libra to be possibly the opposite and be a group of Cursed hunters??
I'm wondering (perhaps hoping) that Act 3 starts after Kate's one month deadline comes up, so that she is already more than familiar with Crown and maybe Libra end up being more hostile than planned and they give another reason why she should stay longer with Crown
Also I'm letting go of my theory about Libra being all from the same Fairytale, since braid guy is most likely from The Little Mermaid as the Sea Witch, one of the other guy was revealed in the JP trailer and has a completely different theme (he gives off strong Snow Queen vibe but I felt it might be too similar to Elbert and the Greedy Queen which is why I didn't suggest it).
As for the third red/magenta guy, he genuinely gives me strong Big Bad Wolf from Red Riding Hood but I keep thinking of that Cursed bearer from Roger's route who was implied to be from Red Riding Hood already.....
Then again it was just a speculation from Roger and Kate so it might still be possible.....
I still am thinking about Beauty and the Beast but after some thinking, "Libra" comes from the latin word that means "scales" so IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE LITTLE MERMAID ARGH I CANT CONCENTRATE
TOO MANY INFOS SO LITTLE PREVIEW YET (Is what I say after the first preview day LMAO) I'M GENUINELY SO CURIOUS PLEASE RELEASE THE CRUMBS FASTER FOR LIBRAAAAA
I AM THE BIGGEST GENIUS THAT HAS EVER LIVED WE LIKELY HAVE A SEA WITCH CURSE BEARER OH MY FUCKING G-
Based on his lines (about him stealing what's most precious from us) my theory is that his power will be stealing/copying people's appearance or their memories (I'm betting on the former since in the Little Mermaid, the Sea Witch gives the mermaid legs so it's all about appearances and stealing voices whatnot)

I just realized that New characters mean new ECG cards, new fates and more Natsume Lemon art ARGHHHHHHHH IM SO EXCITED I wonder what their colors will be since we already have pretty much every color with our current 12 LIs....
So we might get color variants (technically Jude/Ellis are shades of purple and Elbert/Alphons are both blue, Nica/Harry are both green too), we still don't have a white themed LI!! (Darius is often associated with white but his theme color is yellow)
Snow White : Elbert (Greedy Queen), Alphons (Cursed Mirror), Roger (Double crossed hunter)
Alice in Wonderland : William (Queen of Hearts), Liam (Cheshire cat), Harrison (The Fox, let's count him in)
Swan Lake : Darius (Evil Sorcerer), Nica & Ring (Black Swans)
Libra was mentioned as an international group of Cursed, and unless they were brought in separately it's likely that they all belong to the same fairytale, so my guesses are:
The little Mermaid : The Sea Witch, her underlings maybe?
Beauty and the Beast : The Beast, The Rose (if Ellis can be the Briar, anything can be a curse at this point), The Fairy perhaps?? (that would be our second fairy LMAO)
Red riding hood was already mentioned in Roger's route I believe so I don't think it'll be that, even though I'd love a Big bad wolf curse bearer LI~
I've been looking through so many fairytales it's actually likely that all three will come from different fairytales, but if not my predictions will set on Beauty and the Beast!!
It's the only one where I could distinguish three possible curses because all other fairytales are pretty much witches or fairies lololol
Even though Liam is not my favorite LI I truly love him and his route was so good and tragic (´；ω；｀)
//Spoilers for his route below//
//TW: Mentions of su*cide//
For real I cannot stop thinking about how Liam planned years worth of gifts and letters to MC so that she could keep on living without the burden of knowing he was gone
And the part where MC tries to pull him up after Liam jumped and he does NOT reach back to her oh my GOD
As someone who deals with depression, Liam's route was so beautiful and touched me in the deepest parts of my heart, these two scenes alone just speak so loudly of Liam's struggle with the desire to live and I cannot stop thinking about how tragic yet real these parts are,,,,
As a Jude hardcore fan I am obviously SO HAPPY with all the content we have of him!! I just wish that lower ranked LIs like Liam could have more focused events so that players would have more opportunities to love them more (I myself only fell hard for Jude after the Fairytale event)
