Dirk (Riddle Red) Heart and Shira Yu (Shan Yatsuhashi) both aged 17
Shira grew up mostly isolated from the isle behind a very large wall. Her father did this not because she was dangerous or training, though both are true, Shira has from childhood had massive anxiety, This is partially because Mandarin is her first language and she fears what others will say about her accent. It is not helped by the fact that the first time she steeped out into the marketplace Clay English shot at her head. She did not know at the time that Clay also has massive anxiety and was attempting to impress her. It scarred her pretty badly and she stayed behind her wall. When Twin John and Jessie Hook tumbled into her garden their form was so bad that She got over her fears enough to help them, though she did so without speaking. As such Jessie offered her a spot on the Crew as their weapons expert which she agreed to on the condition that she wouldn’t have to leave the safety of her wall expect for in emergencies. The only people to hear her speak before she went to Auradon were her father, the Gothels,, Genevieve, though through a wall, and Sollux very briefly.
Due to an incident with a magic mirror Riddle unwittingly killed his oldest sister and the true heir to the Red throne Rebecca (Rain-Cloud Red) Heart. In his guilt he threw himself into training so that no harm could befall the rest of his siblings. He was trained by a wild card, a literal (Bro)Ker. Wonders will come back if killed, but if they are killed violently or suddenly their personality gets slightly altered. In his training he lost most of his childhood joy, turning mostly stone faced and expressionless. The only ones who can get expressions are his siblings, particularly Robyn (Reason Red) Heart. He is not good at Gibberish as he too quickly learns what the language he is speaking is. Once you know what you are saying it ceases to be Gibberish and it is no longer understood. As such he is the only Wonder that has to use effort in class. Most of his story takes place at the school
