What classes, clubs, and dorms form your school?

Massive worldbuilding drop incoming!

[Dawn Owl College Facilities and Facts]

• DOC had the exact same mechanics as how Night Raven College ran itself (same dorm names and uniforms, clubs, etc.) back then as its parallel all-girls college, but Headmages Dire Crowley and Tawny Fowler clashed with their philosophies on how to handle their students, which then became personal disputes.

• Crowley pulled a petty card by threatening to deny DOC rights to cite and recognize the Great Seven, and Fowler had enough and outright rescinded all of DOC's connections and parallelism to NRC out of frustration.

• From then on, Fowler rewired DOC's curriculum, dorms, clubs, and mechanics to only be indirectly inspired by the Great Seven. Now some of the dorms have little semblance to their parallels in NRC and now serve as prisons "academically rigorous, future-prepared and opportunity-focused" colleges of their own.

And who suffers? The girls.

[THE SEVEN DORMITORIES]

- With no more "Inspired by the [insert name here]'s spirit of [insert trait here]" to stand by, Fowler reformed the dorms.

• Aside from the general subjects they study, like in NRC, they have specialized subjects related to their dorm's domain. Internships also require work related to said domain.

[PERFORMATIVE AND COMPETITIVE CLUBS]

I already made a brief summary of DOC clubs in a previous post, but:

Performative Clubs:

These clubs are solely for performing in events, mostly in RSA and other campuses (except NRC) across Twisted Wonderland. RSA is pretty much spoiled by the amount of times they get DOC to come over on their campus.

• DOC Dance Troupe (focuses on streetdance, URBAN, and hip-hop style numbers. Mostly Urban choreo and has collab numbers with RSA)

• Blue Hour (the school's featured girl band, complete with vocals, electric guitars, etc. It's kinda like NRC's Pop Music Club)

• DOC Cultural Arts Ensemble (features acapella, traditional dances and instruments, etc.)

• Technicals and Media (staffing, decorating, handling the cameras and soundtech, etc. when the other three perform on stage.)

Competitive Clubs

Similar to some of the clubs in NRC, these are clubs that compete in tournaments and competitions alongside making contributions to the school. More emphasis on competing with other schools across Twisted Wonderland.

• Volleyball Club

• Debate Society

• Wrestling Club

• E-Sports Club

• Journalism Club

• Research Development Club

[Other Facts]

• All students are required to have two clubs once they're sophomores, one of each category. Some freshmen already apply to two clubs to get used to the grind as early as possible.

• No, the girls are not free in this school :'D

• The biggest loss was that they no longer had access to the Mirror, which forced them to remove the entrance ceremony and accept students via application. In place of the ceremony, there's a painstaking sequence of entrance examinations, and passers choose their dorms and clubs during the application process.

• Successfully enrolled freshmen witness an orientation event— a sequence of speeches, performances from the Performative Clubs, and Q&A sessions with Housewardens about the dorms. This is inspired by real orientation days in colleges, particularly mine in UPD.

• The school has scholarship programs... (but at what cost)

• The classes still work pretty much the same as that in NRC, Classes A to E. Maybe I'll get to that in a separate post.

Anyway, that's all for now! My asks are always open <333

[NRCxDOC Shenanigans] Yasmin's Spending Habits

I remembered that Yasmin is like Kalim, except she is fully convinced she is saving money if she splurges only if there are sales and discounts. And also, she likes teasing the living daylights out of NaiJam

[shekiwekii]

Is Lacey like Padma, Bristle, and Chion like mom or sister? Padma and bristle look just like her. ALSO Lacey has a son right?

Ooohhh I do get that it can be complicated for first meets with the Eglanthia quad, and trust me the TWST boys are just as confused once they meet. You're getting the live experience POV of an NRC student meeting Chion and her Trio of Vice Housewardens XDD

But basically:

1. Padma and Bristle — Lacey is their aunt.

Lacey's sister, Lola Clairmont (original nymph fae name: Ligeia) and her husband adopted twin baby girls after the move to Shaftlands, having found them left in a stairway. They couldn't have children of their own, thus keeping them.

But Lacey was entrusted with their care and she basically babysat them their whole life, as Lola and her husband established careers.

Lacey was emotionally strangled by the thought of raising human babies, reminded that Lilia was raising a human son somewhere back in Briar Valley (this was Silver, and that makes the twins the same age as him!) but eventually fell in love with them and indeed took care of them.

2. To Chion, Lacey is a guardian.

They are unrelated by blood. The Clairmonts just so happened to move into the Greyborough Estate— a large, distant and secure neighborhood full of immigrant and refugee fae which also housed Chion's draconic fae family, the Nevefalls. The families got along very well and Chion became dear to Lacey and the twins as a frequent visitor and friend.

3. Why does Lacey look and function like she's a triplet to Padma and Bristle?

- The twins don't look the way they are naturally— they got the same blessing like how Lilia changed Silver's hair. The twins were given similar features as Lacey and Lola when they were babies.

- Chion was deeply insecure and strangled when Fowler first delegated her as Eglanthia Housewarden (again she has self-loathing issues), so Lacey and the twins agreed to all help her in easing the workload and the role as a whole. Thus came the Clairmont Triumvirate— three Vice Housewardens handling the main tasks and activity departments while Chion handles executive and representative functions.

4. Does Lacey have a son?

As mentioned in the summary post, yes. She does have a son. Not only is he a grown fae now (300+ years old) he is also an entrepreneur, owning several resto-cafe branches in Shaftlands that fund his mother and the girls' studies.

What does he look like, though?

If you're gonna ask who his dad is, I ain't saying nothin :-)

Ngl I was just idly doodling while having coffee with my dad the other day and I realized I need to digitize these right away.

[Random ramble and TWST OC dump thing?]

Me: *doing chores*

Brain: You know, usually we talk about random stuff, but since you just posted about Lacey instead of continuing that Padma comic—

Me: stop

Brain: The tragedy is how it seems like you twisted Lacey from Persephone more than Fauna

Me: well

Brain: Lacey is literally what Penelope could've been if Odysseus had every means to go home but didn't

Me: ....okay no—

Brain: ok like yeah no, Ody would never.

But then again, imagine being a wife who loved your husband enough to raise his son alone, patiently and faithfully, praying he comes back alive, then boom turns out he just simply chose not to come back?

Me: ...you've been listening to Janine Berdin too much bro why are you doing this—

Brain: to be fairrrrr you were playing 'What if I miss you for the rest of my life' on loop and now its her theme

Me: yeh Im gonna make a comic of it...eventually

Brain: bruh

(Idk I was washing plates)

Part 2 of this comic soon! I asked on my Instagram that, since all my TWST OCs have been shown (at least the main yume onces, I have one for Minajael on the WIPs), what kinda NRCxDOC content they wanna see next, and 55% of the votes wanted comics showing how the TWST boys meet the girls for the first time :DDD

LETS GOOOO :DDD

[shekiwekii]

Hiii I just wanna say that I really love your OC's and the spectacularily huge amount of worldbuilding you did with them, it makes DOC feel like a really magic academy in Twisted Wonderland!

I do feel ashamed though that, before I stumbled upon your account, I also made a fan-school like a parallel to NRC since the dorms from there are still inspired by the virtues of the Seven, and the name of it is almost the same, except it's called Dusk Owl Academy or DOA for short. I did want to prepare and post my stuff here, but then I saw the name was already taken and I was like uh-oh. And I really feel so bad for it now cause I feel like I copied your idea so I'm sorry😭

Hallo! Thank you so much for the comments on my work, it's super appreciated... Also, don't be ashamed of your work at all, after all, it's just as much a valid product of your own creativity and your love for TWST as much as DOC is of mine ^.^ and we're in a space where we don't flag and gatekeep our own ideas, rather we equally appreciate the same concepts and like to create out of them, and we just so happened to like nearly the same concepts! Think of it as us being two separate shoppers who just happened to like the same stuff in the supermarket. That analogy's kinda fun :DD Thanks for this message and the respect for my work, tho there's no need to apologize, and please, still have the freedom to post and create as you'd like! ^0^

WAIT I SEND U A ASK AND SAID THE WRONG THING

and just realized when I said song by Olivia Rodrigo I said Yasmin and Jamil when I ment NAILA and JAMIL

sorry I’m dumb forgive me

thank you for the idea. they (might be) dating again.

BRUH WHAT PACING AM I EVEN ON— srsly I rarely listen to Olivia Rodrigo and last release I listened to was her sour album, so when you said 'drop dead' I was like huh and so I tested it on spotify and I was like 'yep.'

But honestly, white flag by Lyn Lapid also works for this scenario too.

As for your OC, gimme more deets. GIMME—

Updated their dorm uniforms to fit their curriculum weeks ago. I told myself I'll start off the junior lineup but then Doom Doom Ta hit on my playlist and I just... there was a sudden itch.

[shekiwekii]

So *cough cough* are you going to lore drop on Miah? Like the housewarden???? PLEASE WE HAVE BEEN REVEALED EVERY HOUSEWARDEN BUT HERRRRR

I WANT MORE INFO FEED MY PLEASE ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ll beat up Jamil for Naila if you say yes!!!!!

BAHAHHAHA THE PHOTO 🥹💥 But uh yeah I just wasn't sure on when to lore drop on Miah, but I held out for a long while because I needed to redo her lore and connection to Leona properly before posting a full canon profile? Anywayyy here Imma lore drop her anyway;

[NRCxDOC Shenanigans] Housewardens #7

Miah

(I don't have an official photo of her yet that's in the same format as that of the other 6 (like the closeups with the chibi LI and dorm logo), and I honestly don't plan to finish that series up with her as the final installment, but I was planning to introduce her in the Juniors Lineup.)

[Student Info]

Miah, with no last name at all, is a third year in Dawn Owl College, known for her stern and often unfazed nature and academic prowess. She's on the Dance Troupe, but mainly known for being in the Debate Club (One of the Triad)

She is the adopted mentee of Headmage Tawny Fowler, and was immediately ordained as Housewarden of Aridmane as soon as she enrolled as a freshman.

Unique Magic: "Here's a Lullaby" works in two intensities; either it's a mild stun to confuse and temporarily keep someone in place, or a full-on knockout that's painful and can keep someone asleep for a few hours to a day. No in-between.

She's twisted from Lion King II's Zira.

[Backstory + Connection to Leona]

Part I: Souls Screwed Over

Miah is a stray cub, belonging to neither a home nor the Slums. She has little to no memory of her origins and only vaguely remembers having parents. Her childhood was spent constantly dodging attempts to exterminate her from the streets.

(Since lions irl normally kill cubs they know aren't theirs, I added that detail that perhaps Sunset Savanna folk don't take kindly to kids they have no idea where they came from, mainly the males. It's also taken from how older folk literally go to extremes just to get rid of stray cats in my area. I hate it, they pour hot water on them, sack them up and beat them like piñatas, or straight up thwack them with blocks of wood just because.)

She managed to sneak into the palace one day, and royal guards chose to turn a blind eye (since the majority of them were females). Eventually, Leona himself saw her— he was ten years old at the time and managed to figure out her situation just by the sight of her, so he quietly snuck her some food.

He thought that was the end of the encounter, but Miah chose to stay in the palace and cling to his side. She was quite eager to be by the side of the person who helped her stay alive for a moment longer, even though he was constantly telling her to scram.

Things changed when Miah got curious enough to learn what he usually does, including his lengthy reading and studying. She was intrigued to know his point of view and also be into what he was into, which both irritated and stumbled him each time she kept trying to read his books or sat with him at his royal tutoring sessions.

Of course, she couldn't read and didn't know the first thing about basic education, but was stubborn enough to catch up with him and learn for herself... Kifaji was more than willing to let her learn and accepted her presence, seeing her as a good companion for the young prince— to him, it was good that Leona had someone his age and would feel less lonely in Falena's shadow.

And with that, she managed to stay within the palace for two years, where she remained by Leona's side as a companion of his age and another learner who had a natural aptitude to catch up with Leona and his competencies. She could quickly absorb information and use them in arguments and confrontations.

As for Leona, he slowly began to accept her company, if not clung to it. Besides Kifaji, she was the only other person who willingly made efforts just to learn about his thoughts and perspectives, to be near him and by him. Like he actually mattered.

When Leona turned twelve, his everyday burdens worsened as the need to find a partner began to be nudged onto him (Just like in the Lion King movie, where Simba was already being told that he'd marry Nala, despite being a child). He didn't like it at all, and he didn't see the point of it— he wasn't going to count in the grand royal lineage, or at least not like Falena would, anyway.

Then, in the pit of his frustrations, he decided on one thing. He got his hands on one of his father's rings— one of his few heirlooms that wasn't handed down from Falena— and sought Miah. It was a lonely night in the palace pool areas, where she was just swaying her feet by the water... then he yanked at her wrist, and put the oversized gold ring on her palm with quiet determination and... tenacity, for a rare once.

"At the end of the day, we're both still going to be screwed over by this life and by everyone in this palace. You're still going to be the stray they will never respect, and I'm still the second prince that they will never see as fit to be king," he mutters, ears flat. "...but swear right now that you won't go. Because if I will still need to bite my tongue and face all this, you better be with me. You better be the one next to me."

Part II: The Murkiest Scam

The royal council caught wind of this moment, and they did not like it one bit. The second prince wants to marry the stray cub and add her to the royal family? It was already too much to let her stay, eat, and gain a royal-level education...

So "for the sake of the royal line", they did what was culturally normal anyway and exterminated her. Or at least... that's what they told Leona.

They admitted that they knew of his encounter with Miah that night and did what was necessary, what was normal. At the end of the day, she was a stray and had to be killed to preserve the bloodline. It's what his forefathers had done for generations, so unknown origins will never stain them and risk the kingdom. They presented to him her outer clothes, bloodstained. Evidence.

Leona could only accept it, as much as he retaliated.

But in reality, Miah barely survived. True, she was dragged away and beaten in hopes of actually ending her life, but someone managed to get away with not fulfilling her job. A member of the council was supposed to be in charge of chucking away her body... but instead, she tucked the cub away, and flew off.

This was Fowler, and her rescue wasn't entirely out of mercy... but because she realized Miah's potential for her narrative. A cub whose chance at life was decided by men around her, when she never provoked them nor intervened in their selfish existences? Perfect...precise.

Part III: The Eldest of the Exiles

Fowler herself nursed Miah back to health and raised her for the following years, keeping her survival a secret from all her affiliations up until the time she was enrolled. She weaves a lie that Miah survived on her own, and she merely offered the lioness a scholarship at Dawn Owl College after seeing her stubbornness and persistence in surviving after a long time. To support this lie, she even makes Miah enroll a year late.

And though Fowler repeatedly tries to make her believe her point of view, Miah simply decided on living with her own convictions and goals— just study, strive, and be the 'eldest exile' Fowler wants her to be, to be a leader in aiding other girls in overcoming unfair and rough circumstances.

And eventually... see Leona again, if he was still up to keep his word.

[Personality and Additional Details]

Miah was a name given by Kifaji. He was rather fond of her and decided to give her a proper name since Leona kept calling her a rat early into her stay at the palace.

Her real age isn't confirmable, but Kifaji generally just decided that she's going to be the same age as Leona, since they're companions and looked the same age anyway.

Alongside Chion and Shai, they form the Triad— the three most-feared debaters across schools in Twisted Wonderland.

Miah isn't very interested in dancing, but she joined because she needed a performative club and because she's agile anyway. She does better in the martial arts and sports electives of Aridmane, where one of her favorites is boxing.

She's usually very kept to herself and doesn't talk a lot, but she can be relied on to maintain the upkeep and morale of Aridmane as an eldest sister and coach figure.

If she's comfortable enough, turns out she's what Zira would've been like if she wasn't so vindictive and crazy to cause homicide— the relaxed aunt with unhinged humor who'd give smirks. But she works great with kids, as irony— she'd casually babysit Cheka, if given the chance.

Best friends with Chion. They're even classmates.

Is concerningly sturdy and focused, like she can handle not eating for long periods at a time just to be present. Fowler is constantly yowling at her to get a proper eating routine and take care of herself better.

Scared of heights and dogs. Lol, imagine her meeting Jack in his wolf form—

She keeps a heckin' lot of books! She likes thrifting her clothes and belongings, and oftentimes those visits to thrift stores end up with her buying a lot of aged hardcovers and reading them, because they remind her of Leona and her time in the palace. She even has a specific part of her collection that she quietly reserves for giving to him once they meet again, because she knows those works are within his lane of interest.

Other DOC girls know her as the stern big sister that you would first feel intimidated even approaching, but turns out to be one of the most concerned for your well-being and quality of life. This perfectly fits Aridmane's key values, but besides that, girls who are chronically spreading themselves thin like Rio and Rouge often get quietly scolded by her... followed by a walk to the store—
