Honestly I want a replaced twisted wonderland au but with a twist like, mc/yuu gets replaced by everyone in NRC and grim is the only loyal one to yuu/mc but then an incident happened in NRC and the mc went missing and particularly 'died' during the incident. And then Some evil and powerful parasite demon took over Yuu's body and use it as it's own like it's a vessel (kinda like kenjaku using geto's body or Sukuna with Yuji) but when everyone found "yuu" again, they were acting strange. They were too intelligent, too sly, too durable and not human-like... And mostly, everyone started to feel like that's definitely "not yuu."
Once more join me on the Twisted Wonderland train that my brain seems to not want to get off of.
Bald Mountain is a thing that exists in Disney lore. Fantasia is amazing and Chernabog has appeared in other Disney media (see House of Mouse). So, let’s make Chernabog and Bald Mountain exist in Twisted Wonderland. And even more, make it so that our player character (for this AU to be names Yuna and female) be sort of from Bald Mountain. Below is mostly background information of Bald Mountain as a way to keep my ideas somewhere where I can see them.
Bald Mountain
Home of demons, ruled by Chernabog, who is a lazy ass woh sleeps a lot and leaves the running of the hellscape to the 8 Pillars. Each Pillar is a general of Bald Mountain and controls a specific aspect of life in the mountain. The 7 Pillars represent the 7 deadly sins. The 8th is staffed near completely by part-demons, sacrifices, and atavists. There is a near constant war going on in the depth of Bald Mountain between the demons, condemned souls, and outer realm beings. Bald Mountain is one of the first lines of defense for the worlds of Disney for keeping beings from beyond/Great Old Ones from invading.
Pillar 1: Sin of Pride
General Ez’godath
Military Role: Air force
Pillar 2: Sloth
Admiral Kagloth
Military Role: Navy
Pillar 3: Wrath
General Trorkollek (Usually abbreviated to General Trork because they can’t stand the time wasted saying their full name)

Pillar 5: Greed
General Ogath
Military Role: Logistics/Admin/Strategists
Pillar 6: Envy
General Tezrin

Pillar 7: Gluttony
General Vuranoth

Pillar 8: Unnamed or called the Civvy Branch as a slang term
General Yuna

*They end up working closely with the 5th, 6th, and 7th Pillars on a lot of things.*
Bald Mountain has 2 sections. The exterior and the interior. It is dangerous for a non-demon to enter the interior as the space is constantly changing and time isn’t constant. All sacrifices live on the exterior and most civilian businesses are owned by them.
Sacrifices are people who were offered up for a demon deal by someone else. Sadly, most of them were offered up as children. They do get the option to become a part demon or full demon and gain a demonic parent. Cater is one of these, becoming a succubus after being sacrificed by his mother at age 8 in exchange for power. A clause in those types of agreements state that the sacrifice can at any time call in the penalty clause. Cater is waiting for the best chance to call in his mother’s.
Yes, I am getting Cater away from his bitch of a mother and his spoiled brat sisters. The boy deserves so much better than them. He’s a succubus now, having taken the full demon choice. He tends to just go by Cater or, if he needs a last name he uses Cater Berg. Berg means Mountain.
Ok, back to Bald Mountain geography. So, Bald Mountain exists in multiple dimensions at once all linked through the interior of the mountain, which is why it can be dangerous for a non-demon to enter the mountain. So because of this, it’s not that odd for demons to meet people from other dimensions or go to other dimensions to have kids. This brings into play the ativists, or people who have a demonic ancestor way, way back in their bloodline and the demonic genes going active out of nowhere. This is what happened to Yuna.
Yuna lived in an expy of our world with no magic. It may have had magic in the past, but that’s considered myth. Her ancestor happens to be Chernabog, making her one of the demon king's many, many descendants. Her demonic genes go active around the age of 18 or so and she gets kidnapped to Bald Mountain where everything is explained to her. Having no way home until she controls her new powers, she trains, joins the Bald Mountain military (as I imagine it’s a mandatory thing), gets assigned to the 8th Pillar and eventually goes up the ranks to become general…after about 150 years or so.
That was 100 years ago. Now she’s been forced on vacation by her second, Cater. She goes back home. No time has passed and she still looks like she’s 18. Demon genes mean aging is really slow. Then, while going on her morning run, she encounters a black carriage and is dragged to Twisted Wonderland. And this is where our story starts…
Have you ever considered demon slayer Yuu and demon Yuu, demon Yuu just discovered her powers recently and trying very hard to control them. She's a good demon though..
:000 Interesting.
So it’s basically Yuu but they’re a demon.
Yuu sees Crowley and thinks he’s a demon.
They’re pretty intimidated by him, didn’t really trust him until he took them in and let them reside in Ramshackle.
Wears a lot of big hats per request - hates the fucking sun with a passion.
Do they have past memories before they died? Sort of. They remember their death but barely anything of their childhood.
Hides that they’re a demon - they’re nice! Honest! But...humans did not take well with that information and Yuu didn’t want to lose their friends.
Does Yuu resist the urge to devour human flesh? Yes, they’ve tried to. (Sometimes it isn’t enough)
If they can’t bear to not eat, Yuu is forced to find...alternative methods. Usually, they’d go to the city and find some...uhh...not so nice people.
It works, and Yuu doesn’t feel back about it.
Everyone is always concerned because they have never seen Yuu eat. At all.
But they down coffee like it’s candy, and that’s a lot more concerning.
There was this one incident where Yuu bit into Deuce because of how starved they were.
We don’t talk about that incident. It never happened.
Students are very off put by Yuu (big hat, very pale skin, just a bad aura)
Yuu is kind of sad but understands. Besides, they have a lot of friends that love them just the way they are! :D
Though, with their appearance, Yuu sometimes gets mistaken as some sort of weird cat beastmen, which Yuu finds as a godsend. It’s easier to fit in that way.
Does Yuu defeat overblots easily? Yes, yes they do.
They could literally punch the overblot and knock them out easily, if they didn’t always feel bad after the fact.
