my headcanons for some twisted wonderland families
nationalities are in quotes to indicate the in-universe equivalent; please know that i'm not completely informed of every bit of lore, especially regarding families and names of canon nationalities, so some of this may contradict canon. anyway, have fun and enjoy!
Rizuna Rosehearts (Riddle's Mother):
"japanese," came to the queendom of roses for university (and to get away from her own parents and siblings), where she met Riddle's Father
she returned to her homeland afterward, where she had Riddle, but they went back to the queendom for good when he was a few years old (around 4 or 5, old enough to have memories there); they almost exclusively speak her native language when they're at home, so Riddle has an accent because he wasn't speaking queens (aka "english") regularly for a long time (same goes for the common language; he struggled a bit at nrc in the beginning due to a bit of a verbal language barrier thanks to struggling with pronunciation, but he figured it out quickly)
quite musically gifted; sang a lot to Riddle when he was very little and had him learn piano
as implied in canon, "discouraged" Riddle's being left-handed until he used his right hand as his dominant one (also applies to several other habits/instincts of his that he inherited from his Father)
hasn't divorced Riddle's Father despite being separated for almost ten years now
deadnames and misgenders Riddle ten times out of ten. was furious when his nrc admission letter came with his preferred name (which he told her when he was, like, thirteen); she was also furious when he came home the first break of his freshman year with short hair; she is also furious if he uses masculine pronouns (in "japanese," like boku or ore) when referring to himself; she is also furious wh–
Osian Priddy (Riddle's Father)
"welsh" (aka a queendom native)
mother is a human, father is a deer fauna faerie, thus being a halfling
also quite musically gifted, though he attributes it to his faerie heritage (hence his surname)
agreed for Riddle to have his Mother's surname since she's more successful
never particularly cared for having children, only agreed to have Riddle to appease his Mother; when she began pushing him out of Riddle's life, he didn't protest due to her treatment of himself
lives in an apartment elsewhere in crimson city since he and Riddle's Mother separated after the incident with the Clovers and Pinkers (who she also definitely lost her shit at)
won't initiate a divorce because he knows Riddle's Mother would wring him of all she can and ruin his career
last time Riddle spoke to him was when he congratulated him on getting into nrc; Riddle can't particularly recall the time before that due to how long it'd been, but the last time they saw him in person was a few days after the incident. it was the first and last time he'd seen his Father arguing back against his Mother
Cardo Pula Trappola (Ace's Brother)
"filipino," the whole family moved to the queendom when Ace was a baby
was vice housewarden during his junior year when he attended nrc
annoyed Ace (real name Isko, i will stand on ace being a nickname ☝️) with the QoH's rules, so Ace actually knows the rules pretty damn well (he just doesn't care, gotta know the rules to break them ykyk)
takes every chance he has to tease Ace for all he's worth, as is his sevens-given right as an older brother
has always tried to keep Ace at least near the line, if not in line
when he heard about what happened (Riddle's overblot), he was genuinely horrified—he found out because he called Ace the next day to see how his first week had been, and Ace's voice (having been strangled not even 24 hours earlier) was really rough; Ace didn't even try to play it off, and when he sent a picture, cardo demanded to know what'd happened
however, he did heed Ace's request to not tell their parents.
Adelaide Glas (Vil's Mother)
had a secret relationship with Vil's Father, but they broke it off a few months after Vil was born because she realized that it wasn't what she wanted for herself
she and Eric broke up amicably, but they don't talk anymore
has never contacted Vil, but she does keep loose tabs on his career
she and Vil have actually worked together a few times, but Vil never realized their relation (Vil's basically a teenaged albino* clone of his Father i promise); their relationship is strictly professional
(i headcanon Vil to be albino, so even though he absolutely does exhibit peacock traits like his Mother, Vil doesn't see the resemblance because what little there is is sort of cancelled out by either his albinism, or what traits she inherited from her father, or Vil doesn't think about it because people have similar facial features literally all the time.)
Khma'at Zigvolt (Sebek's Mother)
half "egyptian" half "welsh" (briar valleyian, not queens); full fae though of course
was born pretty soon after the fae vs. human war, so was raised around a lot of "interesting" opinions on humans (racism. it was racism.)
used to serve in the royal guard, but retired after an injury
is very endeared by her husband's family (the clovers), especially her niblings; human children are very cute to her (the way we see like puppies and kittens and other such adorable baby animals) but she's also particularly intrigued by how quickly they grow (also applies to her own children)
she knows that her father only dislikes Sebek's Father because he will die before their children are every truly fully grown. she has already grieved not only her husband, but also her children, her in-laws, even Silver. she has silently mourned for Cadeyrn (Sebek's Brother*) and Sebek (and Lilia and Malleus), knowing that they will eventually lose the friendships they've made at nrc. she knows very well the loss that awaits her, but to her, the love while it lasts is worth it. she is terrified that Sebek takes after his Father not only in looks, but also lifespan, but she knows that none of her kids will have full lifespans compared to her.
(i headcanon Cadeyrn to have attended nrc as well; he was housewarden in his time, and met Ace's Brother in passing due to only being a year older and both being in leadership positions.)
Delwyn Zigvolt (Sebek's Father)
Carwyn Clover, Trey's Father's, older brother
unlike his wife, is very aware how their children, especially Sebek, are treated due to being halflings; he does his best to mitigate the bullying and comfort them, but is very glad that Cadeyrn and Sebek attended/are attending nrc (and Hath, Sebek's Sister, attended a girls magical school elsewhere in the land of dawning), therefore granting them a chance at the acceptance that just isn't currently available in the briar valley
loves taking his kids to see their cousins, and is happy to know that Sebek at least has Trey there for him if no one else (besides the rest of the diafam)
is very fond of Silver as well; views him like another nephew, which is helped by Lilia's presence in their family thanks to Baul
basically a 3.5-decades-older Trey in regards to enforcing dental hygiene (i wonder who Trey got it from...)
