Who's their Best Friend: Icsac Clover-Leech (Best Cousins)

Former feral child, Larimar is a coconut crab mer who crawled out of the ocean and claimed Riddle as his mother. It was during Riddle and Floyd's long overdue honeymoon. They got endeared quickly, so they just took him home once their trip was over and Larimar's family couldn't be found.
He had very intense emotional breakdowns as a child since he spoke in an unknown mer dialect, was dealing with a completely new lifestyle/environment, and couldn't properly communicate with Riddle and Floyd. He's calmed down over the years but still remains a person who will bite and ask questions never.
Riddle is aware something happened to him. They attempted to bring him to the ocean, thinking his family were simply underwater and that's why they couldn't find them the day prior. Larimar had a full breakdown and screamed until Riddle moved him away from the water. Once Larimar was able to communicate properly, Riddle put him in therapy in an effort to unlock WHY Larimar refused to go into the ocean for nearly half a year when they first took him in.
Sadly, Larimar completely repressed the reason far before he was put in therapy, and he won't unlock it again until his 17th birthday.
Unique Magic: Shining Bright. A spell that allows Larimar to either make himself or an object into a flash grenade. He has no control over it and has routinely flashbanged his classmates during classes. Floyd thinks it's hilarious, and Riddle is concerned because he believes it's a fear response.
Once he gains control over it, he can use it both for defensive and offensive attacks.

Hair: Pixie cut red hair, has curlier heart bangs than Riddle
Eyes: One mid grey eye and one yellow eye
Likes: Reading, spelling, aquariums, the car wash, helping Riddle in the garden, arts and crafts, swimming
Dislikes: People not listening to her, being told to 'calm down', when Floyd takes her art off the fridge (to put new art up), Larimar's study time
Pets?: Likes rodents of all kinds so she likes Larimar's rats but agrees with Riddle on getting a hedgehog next (Or a bunny, or a guinea pig, or a rat-)
Fav Food: Strawberry tarts ♡
Bestfriend?: Jasper Clover-Leech (Best cousins)
Oopsie Baby that was very big and nearly killed Riddle, resulting in an emergency C-section. Rosalina is a red eel mer, which Floyd adores (Makes her easy to spot when they swim in the ocean).
The most know it all first grader on the block. She boosts about having read the dictionary cover to cover and how she's already lost two of her baby teeth. She's so mature for her age, the other six year olds can't compare.
Tantrums from hell; wailing, sobbing, flailing on the ground because Floyd picked up the wrong apple from the display at the grocery market. A holder of a 'Big Feelings' card, Rosalina is a challenge for Riddle's gentle parenting style. It's working for them, but Rosalina is just as hot-headed as Riddle, so they can both start throwing a fit if the situation isn't handled quickly.
Adores her big brother. If she isn't attached to one of her dads, she's shoving a book in Larimar's face to show off the new big word she can't pronounce properly. It got to the point where Riddle made a rule that she can't bother her brother when he's studying in an effort to lessen her clinginess.
Unique Magic: She does not show an ability to do magic and she's subconsciously trying to compensate for it.
Her birthday, February 27th, is International Strawberry Day in America
Childhood friend with Alice and Crystal.
Oftens go to the Coral Sea to help her grandmother Georgina to finish the Eternity Float event.
Totally hates her grandmother Mrs Rosehearts, not just because of her overly strict education that makes Ariel feel uncomfortable, also being suffer from her overprotective personality.
Has her own music team in the club, "Rebel of Black Hearts". She is the main singer.

Strict to the rules of Heartslabyul, despite of her high-spirited.
Due to born as hybrid, Ariel could breathe under the water at any time, but her legs can't turn into a fish tail.
Her antique collection were come from from the land and the underwater she goes to.
What do you think would happen if Floyd were to meet Riddle's mother?! Cuz I just read your Mama/Papa leech Headcanons about meeting their sons crush. But what if it’s reversed? Riddle's mother Meeting Floyd? (I would also say Yuu's parents meeting Jade, but unfortunately, that won't be happening)
“Wow, I thought Lil Goldfishie was a stick in the mud, his mama has a whole branch up her—” *gets kicked in the groin*
I have very mixed feelings about Riddle's mother, in that with the context we have right now she's a bitch and if I ever see her it's on motherfucking sight. But she must love her son still, right? Is she harsh because he wants to set Riddle up for success, but only knows the way she was raised? Is she scared of her kid getting hurt or failing, and so she tries to shield him from all possible harm? Is she so hyperaware of all the dangers in society that she feels the need to keep him in a little bubble, knowing in the back of her mind that making mistakes and getting hurt is part of growing up? A good mother would never want to see their child ever get hurt if it were up to them. I mean, she must care for him in some way, but how? In the manga or novel (not sure which) they mention that she fought back against the school to keep him in, but was that because she wanted him to have the prestige of NRC in his background or because she wants what's best for him? She homeschooled him herself to the point that he's an immensely powerful mage already as a teen, so she could've hypothetically kept doing the same thing, right? Is she a mother that truly cares for her son but suffered the same childhood, but she “turned out fine” so it must be fine? Or is she just a bitch, lol. Either way, she is emotionally and affectionately neglectful and doesn't realize it at best, and emotionally and psychologically abusive at worst.
I have a lot to say on the topic of Mrs. Rosehearts, about her parenting, the cultural differences of child-rearing that EN players and JP players might have. This post talks about it in depth, but I can say more on the topic later.
In regards to Floyd meeting Mrs. Rosehearts, probably against Riddle's wishes or while he's distracted, the poor guy is set up for disappointment. While it's implied that Mama Leech is overprotective and that she calls very often, if not daily, to check in on her sons, they still had enough freedom growing up to get into shenanigans and hijinks. I mean, they beat up a sturgeon and took some of its scales to fashion into earrings like a trophy. And they both speak very fondly of her, so Floyd is going into meeting Mrs. Rosehearts with the expectation that she might be a bit stuffy. But, she raised Riddle, his crush and favorite human! He's strict and mean at times, but he cares a lot for his dorm and is super diligent, she must be like that too!
But she's so…critical. She looks at him unamused, very standoffish, but is polite. He guesses. He can see where Riddle got his strictness from.
“Hello. Who might you be?” She probably didn't expect to have some random student, not even from her son's dorm, come up to her. He was...tall. Towered over her, and based on the color of his hair and sharp teeth, most likely wasn't human.
“Huh, you're not as red as my Lil Goldfishie is.”
She blinked and frowned, resisting the urge to chastise the strange fellow for his informal tone and rube behavior. Not her son, not her problem.
“Pardon? Do you often speak to your elders like this?” she asked, eyeing him as she turned away to watch her son give orders to his dorm as they managed an informational booth.
“Yeah, why not? They're just people. Not like I'm being rude or anything” She would strongly disagree. “You're kinda prickly, like a lionfish.”
“W-what?” She changed her mind, someone needs to put him in her place. “Now listen here, young man, it's quite rude to call people anything other than their na—”
“They're real mean, ya know. Venomous, a nuisance, can't even mess with it cause it has a bunch of spines—oh! Imma call you Mama Lionfish.” The young man snapped his left fingers like he made a revelation.
Mrs. Rosehearts had learned to control her temper, but she still had her moments, Her face been bright red, her lips thinned, and she opened her mouth to start berating the young man.
“Floyd Leech! What did I tell you about calling people names?” A tall, slender women came up to them, pale skin and hair hue similar to the man in front of her. She wore a cream-colored dress and matching blazer, adorned with gold and pearls, and a matching wide brimmed hat. She was followed by Riddle, who looked a mix of anger and concern.
“Never do it in front of people, yeah, yeah.” The man named Floyd pouted, but brightened at the sight of Riddle. “Oh hey Lil Goldfishie! What's uuuup?”
Floyd jogged over to Riddle, halting him midstep as Mrs. Rosehearts noticed Riddle almost bristle, trying to sidestep and get around Floyd. He was failing.
“I apologize, you know how boys can be!” The woman in front of her also towered over her, though not nearly as much as her son did. “My Floyd doesn't mean anything by it, he just a silly boy.”
The blue haired woman laughed, then abruptly stopped, narrowing her golden gaze as she thinly smiled.
“You're the man's mother, I assume.” Mrs. Rosehearts replied, smoothing out her skirt and clutching her hands together. “He's very...spirited. He's from the Leech family? Is it safe to assume that your the Leech family matriarch?”
The other woman's sharp toothed smile grew as she nodded. “Yes. It's not often that I come to the surface. But it's wonderful to know that I'm as—oh—well-known, on the surface, as under the sea.”
Mrs. Rosehearts wouldn't use the word 'well-known' as much as she would infamous.
“Yes, well. I would just remind your son to not so blatantly call people names to their faces.” she said, clenching and unclenching her fist in an attempt to sooth herself. “I'm not sure what your customs are under the sea, but up here he would be considered a riffraff.”
For all her talk about politeness, Mrs. Rosehearts forgot herself at time and let things slip out of her mouth faster than she processed. She knew she pressed a button when Mrs. Leech's smile disappeared.
It was only for a moment, but with the blank face and the way her gold eyes bore into her, it felt like her body and soul were being grasped by something dark and violent.
Then that feeling was gone as Mrs. Leech smiled again and closed her eyes, tilting her head.
“He'll be fine, I'm sure he'll find his people. After all, it seems he's already found someone in your son.”
Both women moved their gazes to the pair, now bickering. Well, Riddle was, the one called Floyd, was just swaying on his heels as he grinned and make a comment here and there. Each one after the other seemed to fluster her son further, his cheeks growing in color as they spoke. Most people who knew her son would assume that the red was attributed to his rage, and it mostly was. But (fortunately or unfortunately, she couldn't decide) her son was much like her. It wasn't rage that made his eyes dart away each time their eyes met for too long. It wasn't rage that made him scuff his foot every so often. And it most certainly wasn't rage in his eyes.
Mrs. Rosehearts cleared her throat, turning away from Mrs. Leech and walking to her son.
“I don't know what you're implying, but I must be going now. My son and I still need to tour his dorm.”
Mrs. Leech watched the other woman walk away, sighing.
“Oh, what a disdainful woman. And her son is so lovely too…she really is like a lionfish.”
“Yeah, it's a good nickname for her, right Mama?” Floyd came bounding over, stretching his arms. “Is' too bad she's a stuck-up, gonna real annoying if she's my mother-in-law.”
“Hm, I'll just have to overcompensate then and be the best Mama for you and the little Riddle!” Mama Leech clapped her hands excitedly, sighing in bliss at the thought.
“Oh, it will be so wonderful to see the family grow big...oh! By the way, Floyd.” Mama Leech walked away, Floyd following after diligently. “I might have mentioned a little 'something' to him about your cute rambles about him. He was so cute, all red and flushed when I said you're positively infatuated, calling him cute and—”
floyd's chaoticness can help balance out riddle's strict ways and also help him relax more often
they'd have the best cuddles man. to be cuddled by someone that tall? i think it'd feel safe yk and i think riddle deserves that
floyd always seems so happy when riddle's around and i think if they had proper boundaries so riddle wasn't screaming his head off half the time they're near each other then they could be even better than they already are
Riddle: Look, Floyd and I haven't discussed how or if we're going to break the news that we're... courting, so absolutely no one can know about thi-Cater, you loquacious fiend! 😠
Cater: *looking up from where he's texting* What, nothing!
Riddle: Nothing my foot! You're already gossiping about our-
